  1. He did do a lot of work, cutting several trees so they could land into cover . I really enjoyed getting to watch him reap the fruits of his labor and getting his first duck. I told him though we better eat what we shoot as he told me that his buddies shoot them and give them to the dogs or worse yet leave them there where they fall. I told him I’d prefer to let them live than waste meat, especially now that I know it’s so tasty
  2. A few years ago I bought some duck to see how it taste and it was tough and bitter and no one cared for it. my 18 year old son took a wet area on our property and cut several trees and worked to make it attractive to ducks . This weekend, after getting a duck stamp etc, he and I got up early and hunted . I didn’t fire at the first one and let him get it, then I got the next one. They tasted really good. A little tough but really good flavor. They were wood ducks. He got some more the next day and made tacos.
  3. I saw a report on fox business channel today that the government told banks to search their customers records for purchases that mention the following,”maga, Trump, cabelas, bass pro, or dicks sporting goods among others” and to inform the government so those customers could be tracked as potential terrorist. my wife bought me some shirts from cabelas so now she is a threat in their eyes. The last few shootings were not done by bass pro customers buying fishing gear but transgender idiots who likely never set foot in a bass pro shop.
  4. I did notice the IWI was a lot heavier than the kel tec. I once held the hellion and I think it was lighter than the IWI but not as light as the kel tec
  5. All 3 are bull pup 5.56 the Hellion is around 1800 as is the IWI version but the keltech is 1000 new or 899 used locally. while an odd rifle to begin with and awkward to hold the concept is intriguing and was curious if the keltech will hold up or is there a reason it is 800 less?
  6. Matter of fact I had read about the British unit that painted their planes pink in ww2 so I bought a spitfire model and got my daughters to help me build it with the promise we’d paint it pink and told them of the British unit. They kept it a long time. I think my youngest still has hers.
  7. As a minister , I’ve said similar. I know full well from experience as a soldier and police officer that if my house was surrounded by a regiment of awake and armed soldiers and I had a machine gun and was awake , it only matter if God is there to protect and if God is there to protect, I don’t need any of that. I also know that God gives peace no matter how many stand against you. King Saul was chasing future king David and God put Saul in a deep sleep and David was in a position to kill him but only took his spear and bolster from beside him knowing God would make him king later. God keeps His promises.
  8. Goodness gracious. Makes you want to just stay still in your chair doesn’t it. Please be careful
  9. The gurney is bulky and unwieldy so I was afraid widening the door won’t help much, wanted to be sure as I likely will have this come up again
  10. Inflation will go higher because shipping companies now have to avoid the Red Sea and go around Africa because cargo ships are being attacked. This adds a month to the trip and increases fuel usage raising fuel cost . The consumer pays that cost. This will force the federal reserve to not lower rates as planned and may force them to raise them.
  11. How wide is the stretcher in an ambulance?
  12. The other night I had to call an ambulance for my mom. Her bedroom door is 30 inches so they couldn’t get the stretcher in so had to walk her to it in the hall. I had a guy come price how much it’d be to widen the bedroom door to 36 inches so they can get through next time but then he asked if they could make the turn into the room. The hall is 39 inches wide all other door ways are also 39 inches. how wide of a hallway is needed to turn an ambulance stretcher? She is home and better but she lost so much blood from a torn esophagus that she needed a transfusion of a pint of blood. The ambulance crew was great and Called it that she needed a transfusion right away and bypasses the local hospital and flew her to a bigger one but the hospital waited 3 days before giving her the blood.
  13. Has the rule outlawing braces on AR pistols changed? I visited a store in a large town the other day and they had several AR pistols with arm braces attached.
  14. My dads least favorite that he complained about for decades was Roosevelt demanding my grandfather drive his cattle into a large pit and kill them and bury them so the price of beef would go up to pull the country out of the depression. Where is PITA when you want them?
  15. They are beautiful revolvers. I often think of getting one but it’s too large for concealed carry so it’d be a range gun and that’s a high price for a range gun. I thought of getting the 22 version king cobra which looks like the python but again it’d be a range gun
  16. We don’t have a Kroger and once in a while plan a special trip just for Kroger. They have items you can’t get in a small town. They also have a much better organic selection for times we want that . They are 45 minutes away. Publix just opened an hour away in the opposite direction so we may go once in a while there.
  17. I was surprised how much the beretta bothered me. Never had that be a problem before
  18. I got to test fire both of those yesterday. I only fired what the magazine tube holds but was glad I got to. this is the first time since my heart bypass surgery that I fired a 12 gauge. I fired the Beretta first. Both are light but the Beretta is shorter and noticeably lighter. Both were reliable and smooth. I used federal high brass 6 shot lead. The Beretta holds 7 rounds and all seven kicked hard . That might be partially because I haven’t been used to 12 gauge lately but it became uncomfortable. My 14 year old son also noticed the kick. He started out preferring the Beretta before he fired it. the Mossberg held 9 rounds and was balanced better. The recoil was negligible, even firing fast. While both had clear and visible fiber optic front sights , the Mossberg comes with a few replacement sights as well as 2 extra chokes. The Mossberg also included a piece of paper that said go to the listed website and Jerry Miculek and his daughter would show you how to maintain it. The Beretta did not have a paper manual, only a QR code to scan and see the manual on your phone which made it small and hard to read . my son declared after firing them both that he preferred the Mossberg. I saw them both at a pawn shop near an army base a couple of hours away from me that I usually don’t get to go to. May have to go back.
  19. It’s tempting for sure. I asked about recoil because I pinched a nerve in my neck while on my tractor. The nerve that runs to the web in your thumb. A s and w 686 rides that nerve so that don’t shoot it anymore. A beretta cheetah 380 really rides that nerve so I sold it. A ruger gp 100 doesn’t bother it much, nor does a Kimber k6s, though after my heart surgery it is not as comfortable. A 1911 I can shoot all day. A ruger vaquero I can shoot all day. Just concerned about that nerve.
  20. That makes sense. I’ve been toying around with the idea of getting one for a while and a near new one is a better option.
  21. I just lay there and ask her what does she want for breakfast until she wakes up
