I have never cared for any of the Westerns with Tom Selleck even Quigly.

He sure look's the part but when he sits a horse or opens his mouth its a failure for me.

IMO its a mistake to remake the old movies with today's actors they should make new movies with new actors.

Have fun --J

I hope I didn't bring any confusion into this thread by bringing up Buffalo Bill when the original topic was Monte Walsh. That's a great story in a great book, that made for two great movies. As for Buffalo Bill, there are a slew of books written about him. His own autobiography is good, but I'd re...

Went to shoot a spotted one once-------It did a handstand (facing me)tail flipped over while it was bent over backwards and--------------- It sprayed me in the face before the gun rose up! :oops: :cry: As I was gasping/blinded/gun on ground/ I heard the sound it made while trotting off(sounded like...

#1 rule, with skunks stay up wind. #2 rule, shooting sometimes works for no stink, but never always. My experience says live trap, old blanket and deep water is the best for no stink. I have hauled a few a mile or more to the nearest irrigation ditch. Have used a 12 GA #8 shot a few times for a expe...

Back in the Mid 80's I was able to get two WT Tags 3 years in a row. One by the regular draw and the 2nd one over the counter at the G&F dept. I always drew a tag for 34A (Santa Rita's) because that's where I lived and the second one was a Dec hunt 35B or 36B right on the border. I bet today tho...

Earlier this year before the stupid white chicken we have decided to teach the others to sit on TOP of the coop at night, and we had 25 chickens instead of 6, we used to shoot eggs at 100 yards (that's as long a range as we can really set up at our place). It was nice, biodegradable fun...! We can'...

We lost power friday night at 11.30, power came back on at 8.30 pm tonight. 12 years ago when we bought this property in Eastern VA, the man from Dominion power came out to talk about running power to the home sight, the very first words out of his mouth were "you are going to need a generator&...

With the federal land closed around the PHx area, and now all the state land closed it's going to be almost impossible to find free places to shoot. I don't care for gun ranges although I do or would use them on occasion. I like shooting out in the boonies by myself or with a couple of friends. It'...

shawn_c992001, That forum has a lot of good stuff on it. The one member "9.3x57" has spent lots of time working up loads for the 9.3x57mm, it is not listed in much of the manuals here in the US. He shot quite a few different big game with it and he really loves the caliber. J35nut, I woul...

Picked up a Rossi Rio Grande .410 that I had on lay-a-way. Got it home and cleaned it up. For some reason it comes with a Weaver style mount already attached. Got it off and there were three spots where the finish was rubbed off. That wasn't a big deal as I'm going to use the snot out of this thing...

I wonder if the Fox was actually eating insects that were attracted to the corn? Or maybe mice? Wouldn't think they'd eat corn... Grey fox eat a little bit of everything, they are not a bit fussy.

When hiking and plinking, I don't often carry long gardening tools with me. :lol: Around here, we have Mojave Greens. When I am walking about, and a snake and I surprise each other, I want dependable ammo in my 357 Blackhawk. I want the last sound heard to be a single "bang" not "Rat...

So as not to intrude on "SJPrice's" thread, I thought I'd start a new thread. What with the availability of factory .30-30 ammunition still pretty easy to get and what with .30-30 reloading components getting easier to get, I don't see why plinking loads for the .30-30 are necessary. I sh...

Hey doc I just had a thought, they probably had routes worked out decent enough for wagons between the Forts so if that is true your Hero's should be able to make good time all the way from Florence to San Carlos to Ft Apache and if that's the case they might just be able to make the trip in six day...

I believe it is a waterhole scene out on the range, you can see the tank with water coming down a chute. The stones are what is left from the old tank and drinker .
