That's a tragedy for everyone concerned, family and rescue teams.

The first Winchester 9422M that I had was used regularly on a military range at 200 metres, with open sights it sure surprised a few bolt and scope gunners....

gamekeeper

That is a shame, his family must be very distraught not knowing what happened. My 9422 was a bargain, it hadn't been treated too kindly my the previous owner and now it looks like a well worn antique, it's one of the early ones from the 70s but has never let me down, I bought a saddle ring takedown ...

gamekeeper

You guys have all the best toys!! I ain't even got a cellar..... :( The days are getting longer and the weather has improved and I'm getting more hunting in, the Squirrels seem to have increased in number since my son thinned them out. My Winchester 9422 is taking its toll :D I may get rid of the se...

That was a very interesting and detailed letter and shows what can be achieved. Thanks for posting....

With fewer manufacturers making single barrel shotguns these days it's a good job the old ones were made so well that there are still good serviceable examples on the shelves of gun shops today. The latest state of the art firearms with all the fancy accessories are all very well but I like to know ...

gamekeeper

There's something about single barrel shotguns that appeals to me, I've had several in all gauges except 10 gauge. I had a Winchester 840 in 20 gauge when I was gamekeeping, I cut that one at each end and carried in the Land Rover, I gave it to my brother in law for his stepson. Trying to find anoth...

gamekeeper

Jay, I sure appreciate your concern for my wellbeing :lol: but the first shop didn't have the ammo I need ( tiny two inch .410 ) for rats and I chickened out of going to the second shop as I'm still undecided on the 20 gauge. I'm looking for a cheap single shot 20 gauge for a sort of truck gun type ...

gamekeeper

I'm going to visit a couple of gunshops today, looking for ammo, I know one of the shops has a single shot 20 gauge I'm interested in, I need to stay focused on the ammo...

That's pretty cold for a seven year old with no survival skills. Hope and pray and that he found shelter must, be terrible for his folks.

gamekeeper

I can't think of anything more worrying than not knowing where one of your kids are, Jay, what are the nighttime temperatures up there at this time of year?

gamekeeper

In a search for anything a hunters eyes are worth a hundred of office or house bound folk. Sorry the boy hasn't been found but what a nightmare place for a lost seven year-old.
Your son and his Coast Guard buddies do a wonderful job in difficult conditions.

Cool photo H D Hunter......

.45colt, Captain Bligh is considered by many to be a Baddie for the way he allegedly treated his crew, his remarkable seamanship however is probably only respected by those that know how difficult it was to accomplish. History can be very cruel.

My late father in law had a really old Subaru, we used to go fox hunting in it, brilliant vehicle

gamekeeper

If you mentioned " off road " to most UK Jeep owners they wouldn't know what you mean.... :lol: same goes for any 4x4 vehicles over here. There are a few Off Road Clubs for enthusiastic 4x4 owners but it's mainly gamekeepers and farmers that actually go off road more than on road. 769c0b8c497ec42a86...

Glad you made it back okay

I hate towing trailers.
Those magnetic lights sound like a good idea we probably have them over here but I only ever see temporary lights tied on with binder twine.......

gamekeeper

Welcome back... :D Sounds like you have more complicated gun laws than we do in the UK, I just renewed my licences for shotguns and rifles, good for five years but a lot of jumping through hoops. Congratulations on your BARGAIN of the year Savage 99...... :D hard to get licence's can mean really che...

gamekeeper

I miss the days when all motorcycles looked like motorcycles, a lot of motorbikes today look like they're out of a batman comic.

Jay what exactly are those magnetic trailer lights? do they plug in or are they powered separately

gamekeeper

Here you go Doc.

Welcome to the fire...

I'd never heard of the Stevens 425

but with a production run of only a few years they must be pretty scarce. The Ithaca 49 is a fun little gun, I briefly had one in .22mag it was quite accurate.

Harry won 139 I don't know what the prize should be perhaps OW could send you his Harley as he is going back to dirt bikes... :wink: I have taken up Rat shooting, got four in the last few days and only two Squirrels, hardly ever see a Rat around here but they have moved in amongst the compost.

We still have pre 1965 scrambles complete with the smell of Castrol X....

Winchester 73 or Uberti 73

I had a Uberti 73 SRC it was a tube loader not sure about the genuine Winchester.

And welcome to the fire...

Great motorcycling weather here at the moment but sadly my motorcycling days are over, if we had your highways I would consider getting another old bike but here traffic is heavy and the roads are full of pot holes... :( I did think about getting a motorcycle and sidecar, over here Jawa sell a 350cc...

I have used Spec.SG and AAA on Roe deer at about 35 yds dropped them where they stood. I was impressed with the way that buckshot performed not so the OO buck I used on a feral cat, it laughed at the lack of pattern and almost ran between my feet ..

gamekeeper

From what I see every new gun law even if it doesn't affect gun owners one bit enforces the notion to snowflakes etc that firearms must be bad or the government wouldn't be passing laws on such dangerous items.... :roll: The knife crime in the UK has caused all kinds of stupid laws on buying and car...

gamekeeper

I'm all in favour of helping the police but I sometimes wonder if it's just the antigun politicians that dream up all these things.....

gamekeeper

The flip side of that cartridge issue is they can tie you to something in suspicion. My suspicious mind was wondering if it would become a law that all privately owned firearms would have to have images of fired cases kept by the police but I guess fitting a new firing pin would confuse that.... :?...

I have always had respect for those who do jobs that most people wouldn't do. Without those people life would be miserable.

Yippee, I got my firearm and shotgun certificates back today so my shootin' irons are safe for another five years.... :D The certificates arrived with a request from the police asking me if I would save a fired case from each gun and label them with the guns details so in case my guns get stolen and...

Yes they have kooky politicians in charge at the moment but hunting regs are pretty good. When my son was over there he hunted Goats, Turkeys and Peacocks with rifles and shotguns sometimes on horseback loaned to him by folks he met there. He is keen to take up Bowhunting over there too... Your truc...

I've always liked green paintwork on cars and trucks, I suppose something to do with my liking of Land Rovers and Willy's Jeeps but over here there is a superstition about green cars and some folks won't even ride in one, does that superstition exist in the US ?

I bet being white makes a difference in the hot California sun, Shirley had a black car and boy did it get hot in summer.

Weather here has been mainly dry through April not many April showers, some frost over night but very pleasant during the day.

No problem, I drive Squirrely anyway.....when I had a little Suzuki jeep I always said was like a demented frog on the road.
