Stig, are reloading components readily available there?

Dillon is top of the line. I have an RCBS which is a good press, but not a Dillon. Load info is available online but a good reloading manual is must have. I'm sure Pops passed that on to you as well.

Not squeamish, just trying to look out for the resource and be as humane as possible. Most folks don't understand when you tell them the great respect you have for an animal that you kill and eat.

Our archery season here in NW Florida coincides with whitetail birthing and nursing. Does are legal game and some guys sling arrows at every doe they see. If I shoot an early season doe, it's a year and a half old maiden doe without a fawn. I just can't stand the thought of killing a pregnant...

Hunted with a guy in Alabama like that. He had a really nice 8 point step out and was about to take the shot when he spotted two yearlings and killed them both. They weighed about 40 pounds apiece and he was totally happy with them. And yes Butch, some folks eat the head and brains. My Daddy...

Very true Gary but there's something in just about everyone, call it ego, drive, competitiveness or whatever, that wants to take the biggest critter or fish, climb the highest mountain, marry the best looking woman or whatever the case may be. I've never heard a guy say that his goal in life was...

We call that "hogging", picking them up by hand on a low tide. Most are tonged up. Oyster tongs are kind of like two yard rakes welded on a long set of post-hole digger handles. They'll work your butt off.

How do they harvest the oysters up your way Bud?

Hey Tuck, I happen to live on Apalachicola Bay, oyster capital of the world. We eat 'em every way you can imagine. I like them raw, roasted 'til they open on oak coals, fried, sautéed in butter and garlic, in a stew, you name it. I have good friends that are oystermen and they take good care of...

Had the same happen to a doe whitetail on a hunting lease in Alabama. Heck of a way to go.

I've got a Carbon Express Covert SLS that I'm very pleased with. It's got short limbs that make it handy, but it's lightning fast and very accurate. The trigger pull is a little heavy and as with every other crossbow I've fired, it's a little loud compared to a hand-drawn bow, but otherwise it...

Jay, I DEVOURED those American Sportsman shows! Curt Gowdy did a tremendous job as host. You're bringing back some good memories. The only dangerous "game" we had on the farm was an occasional rattlesnake, but as a boy, stalking squirrels with a .22 rifle was pretty exciting. I'll never forget...

What fantastic workmanship. Westley Richards are famous not only for their shotguns, but also for their "double rifles'' used for dangerous game, particularly in Africa. Ernest Hemingway owned and hunted with one. His was sold recently for nearly $300,000. As a boy, I devoured Peter Hathaway...

Yeah Jay, not something I would want to do, but to each his own. I hunted pretty much archery only for years but I wouldn't try to tell someone else how they should hunt or shoot. Ethics and sportsmanship will have to enter the picture somewhere, however. I suspect most states in America will...

Pretty wild technology Jay. Hunting rifles and scopes really haven't changed a whole lot in the last 50+ years so I guess it was inevitable. I don't see the average guy having one any time soon, I'm sure the price will be prohibitive, but the military should jump all over it.
