Re: Hunting from a junk car
Redlevel,
That is a lot of meat. Would love to get in on something like that. We have virtually no crops where I have my place, all cattle and timber. Deer are plentiful but we are over run with turkeys most years. We eat every scrap of deer , but could always use one more it seems.

Re: A Good Time In a Hunter Ed Class
The last class I attended with my oldest son, the instructor had a JC Higgins bolt shotgun and kept telling the class it was a rifle. When someone pointed out the lack of a rear sight, the instructor said it must have been "knocked off". This was about 8-10 years ago.
