Thanks Craig. Maybe those folks that feel the war never ended need to step back and re-evaluate. My thought is that if they still blame their problems on the past then they are not taking responsibility for their own future. I do understand some of the southern views. My Mom was very southern.

I have always wondered what I would have done in that time and place. Haven't you? Now we know so much more than they did then that the choice simply can't be made on the same terms. But as a northerner, born and bread, I always would have bent toward the blue, especially when I was younger. I don't...

Gone with the wind is classic. I have the box set. Ken Burns' series is a documentary with transcript and pictures. Hard to beat that for accuracy. I have the box set on that as well. I thought "Andersonville", I think it was, was a very well done movie. I thought Shelby Foote was a wonder...

I agree that the mid 1890's would have been a wondrous time to be into the shooting sports. What with the coming of smokeless powder and all the marvelous things it shows potential for. The coming of nickle steels and better metallurgy making guns stronger. The guns of Winchester and Marlin being at...

I would say yes you should be satisfied. Not to say that tweaking over time won't improve your pattern, but 10 hits in the head and neck area on a turkey will be a consistent turkey killer. You are doing better than that already. If your gun requires that the bead be placed "on" the birds ...

Thanks all.

I hunt for sport and meat. Then when hunting season is over, I shoot for sport and to hone myself for the next hunt. I don't shoot much during hunting season so as to not make the local game as nervous.

Well, the spring was good to me. I'm all tagged out with over a week left in the season. According to the check station, birds seem to be harder to come by this year and a lot of the birds harvested were Jakes. That indicates a good hatch last year and good potential for 2 year old birds next year. ...

I have an unusual situation here. I have in laws that live in the Netherlands that are in the process of starting a longhorn ranch. My sister-in-law, to which we now affectionately refer to each other as the Outlaws , asked me to help with finding photos that can be incorporated with a web site they...

Season doesn't start until later in April here. I'll do my scouting the last two weeks before opening day to see where this years birds are patterning. By opening day I'll have an idea of where the roosting spots are for particular birds and know which way to walk to listen for them. I can hear bird...

Grizz. Many early ones were wrought iron with a shear steel face forge welded on. There were some cast iron with a steel face and some cast steel with a hardened face. Most of today's anvils are one piece cast. Remember that steel, when it it hot, is much softer than the anvil surface you are workin...

I thought I read that it was April 1919

If you are looking for an old traditional anvil, be prepared to pay a few hundred dollars and up for one. However if you are patient and shop the farm auctions, garage sales, flea markets and such, they can be found and had for less. There are still a lot of them out there. If however you are into t...

You are on the right track. The Kao wool you are looking for can be found on the net. You may find the forge needs to be raised so you can see inside and don't have to bend over all the time. Try it for a while and see first. The Iforgeiron site is a good learning tool. Anvilfire also is another one...

Learn an ancient craft. Folks like the Potter, the Weaver, the Carpenter, the Gaffer, the Candle Maker, the Blacksmith and so on are always going to be in demand when goods are not available. This makes for an interesting hobby for now and can produce barter-able goods if needed. Personally I am a B...

Now I've used black powder for going on 40 years. I have heard all the horror stories of leaving black powder in guns for extended periods of time, but from folks who heard it from folks who heard it from folks. So I've done some tests over time myself and have never found a single problem. This is ...

Lee was an interesting and admirable person. I have often thought he would have made a good president. I have always been a student of the mid 1800's. Being from Ohio born and raised, and being a supporter for states rights as opposed to federal government control, I have pondered for years what my ...

As usual Kirk, you speak volumes. I have been fighting cabin fever for weeks. Fortunately I have the garage to retreat to. I did get some loading done but now I wait for a warm enough day to open a door and cast. I only have about a dozen bullets left. :shock We had a nice little snow a few days ago...

Can't wait. I'll be out listening in another 4 to 6 weeks. Nothing, and I mean nothing, gets my blood stirring like hearing an out of sight gobbler pounding back at an owl hoot and knowing "He's talking to me". Here's some of my beards. Do you folks keep yours too? I keep the beards, spurs...

If it is indeed a 22 magnum then it should be a model 255 and not the 250 which is chambered 22lr. It sounds like a $125+ gun. They were made from about 64 to 70. If by chance it has the deluxe features then the price goes up a little.

I recommend a Boy Scouts manual. It will show you the basics on most survival situations and gives good reading on down time. It's interesting that I have a book called the Special Forces Survival Manual that has chapters on various survival topics that are almost word for word the same as the BSA m...

They should be dropping right now. After the rut is over, and it is, and after the does that were going to breed had bread, and they have, then the antlers are of no use to the buck. They shed them so they don't have to haul the weight through the winter. Though some will drop earlier and some later...

Well , Joe. You know that since the 38WCF is actually .401 then it can be your new round that starts with a 4.

It started the day President Kennedy was killed. Up until that that point folks still held that it was better to give than receive, to do a good deed and not ask for anything in return, to ask what you could do for your country and not what your country could do for you. Wow, I feel so philosophical...

You may want to do some research to find what the traditional spears were made from. I would be surprised if the original ones were made from anything other than "wrought iron". Until Bessemer invented his furnace, steel was a difficult material to make and expensive to buy. As far as shar...

Griff. It's not the trouble we find so hillarious, it's the twist and situation that makes the joke.

Now I'm not a BMW man but I will say this. Kudos to the guy who designed the fire wall on those babys. BMW at 140 on the Autoban, deer in the road, and the windshield didn't even break.

That's interesting. I have developed into a similar mind set. I use to go to the woods every weekend to get back to the basics and hunt something . I have been living in the woods for three years now and find that seeing game every day makes the hunt less anticipated. I hunt for food. A few squirrel...
