And I thought we were gonna be talkin boats-N-snowmachines...Never thought of plugging the holes with anything but the hitch.

What a lucky feller you are Rexter. I just flat out think the 94C is one of the neatest, most usefull firearms I own. It is sure death on small game and garden pests, a very viable defensive rifle, and packs considerable punch when loaded with CastCores or BuffBore 180's. It certainly gets a solid &...

I am glad I am not the only one who has exercised their right to not patronize a business that treats me like stuff. There is nowhere I want to go that I cannot drive to in five days or less. Even though I have to make two border crossings (in and out of Canada) it is still less hassle and easier on...

Lip smackin good they are. Been doing the firewood thing here in the Interior. Having fair success with cheap cast boolits and a medium dose of Trail Boss loaded in 38spcl cases. I have to snuggle the front post down into the bottom of the peep to compensate for the low velocity but the little 94C i...

Not too shabby for a little gal from Podunk, Alaska You go Sarah, we are real proud of you. I, for one, am also real happy with the bang up job she has done as our Governor. I trust she will do the same as our VP. She is the real deal and not to be underestimated. Some of those Secret Service fellas...

66GTO... for whatever it's worth, I tried the CorBon 200's in my 94C and could not get them to cycle. They were "Oh So Close" though and would go in if you jiggled the rifle just right. Had to hold your tounge just right too though. A little internal work would make it happen. The BB 180's...

I often see things out in the oilpatch that make me just crazy. Wanton Wast to say the least. Lots of rumors about capped wells just waiting till "the price is right. What do I know though...I'm just a dumb truck driver, burning fuel to haul fuel to make fuel. Viscious cycle it is and no end in...

The European (or "Texas") mount is, in my book, rather attrictive. You have to get most of the big chunks off before the small bugs,/birds can do much cleaning in any reasonable amount of time. I usually boil the skull good, (after skinning) then use a scalpel (or small bladed pocket knife...

The driver was very lucky. A couple years ago I was pulling freight up throuth the Peace River Gorge. Same scenario except that the deer went though the windshield of a rig pulling logs. The driver was killed. My wifes best friend was killed eight years ago when a moose came through the windshield o...

Dunno why you would not endorse SPAM. Anything that nasty lookin has to be good for ya....

The Badlands packs are exceptional good products. Very quite in the woods for those who are into sneakin up on hapless forest creatures.

I'm with J Miller on this one. By some quirk of mathematical hijinks, it should be just enough to bump everyone into a higher bracket, costing more next year. Are they going to print more paper to cover this so that my existing funds are $800.00 more worthless? Heck, I can barely afford the tinfoil ...

I guess I don't see it as much different than what I go through as a commercial driver. I can be called in anytime (off duty or on) for a p!$$ test and breathalizer when my number is up on the DOT computer. I can only wonder how far up my backside the TSA crawled before my HazMat endorsement was iss...

My wife has been out ot town for schooling. Unfortunately timed with a slump in work so I have home for the last three days. I treated myself to a new crockpot so's I would not have to do any extra washing of dishes. Started with cubed chunk-0-moose, onions, taters and mixed veggies... I kinda add t...

After all the crow I have been forced to eat over my lifespan, horse might be a nice change of pace.

They remind me of an antlerless moose. Prolly go just great in a crokpot.

Cormel Forge...Bridger beat me to it. The No9 will NOT discriminate about what it holds. Last fall one of the locals caught a US Army HUMVEE out in the Tanana flats. Trap and chain ground er to a halt too! The base commander would not let the trapper keep his catch, but did return the trap undamaged...

Coldfingers

I'm surprised Bridger :shock: Not many folks know what a Manning No9 is. My buddy is the inventor. One heck of a machinist/inventor. You should see his new prototype. It is a dogless trap, can be set, locked open with a set screw, boiled and transported in the set position stacked in a milk crate. G...

If I had my druthers, I would take the doubles/tripples endorsement off my CDL :wink: Thankfully, experements in pulling a "set" up the Dalton failed...miserably so I might add :lol: OldTimeHunter...The state keeps putting chip seal on sections of the road. Works about like pulling a set d...

Not quite a Manning No.9 is it?

Probably do great for muskrats & Squirrels.

Everyone oughta have a little selection of traps & Snares set asside for the hard times.

My 1894C sure likes the AE 158 JSP's. Enough so that I have laid up a thousand of em over time "just in case" I took a nice black bear last fall with the BB 180's. They are SPENDY but worth it when hunting critters a tad bigger than recomended :wink: The Federal Cast Core 180's shoot well ...

Coldfingers

I guess I would just set it up with a Skinner peep, firesight up front, and spend the leftover money on Garret or BB ammo. Grab a box o' feminin napkins and shoot er till your nose bleeds. Burnt ammo will help get you slicked up to deal with one of them big boys in the pucker brush they frequent. In...

Rusty, HOS in AK is 20 hours on duty, fifteen of which can be spent driving, followed by 10 hours in the doghouse. Prudhoe is 520 miles from the refinery, speed limit on the Dalton is 50. The only scalehouse along the route is in Fox (just outside FBKS) I log 12.5 hours up, 11 hours home, and the re...

Giff...The Dalton has one truckstop... Coldfoot, the farthest north truckstop. You have to hang iron to get there, but waitresses make it worthwhile

Coldfingers

Rusty...The run pays about $800.00 (average for most company's) with "extra" when we go out past the security checkpoints at Deadhorse into the oilfield itself or out on the iceroads. Oldtime Hunter...we still get the long trips. A good blow up on the flats will pin you down for a few days...

Todd, Figgured there had to be a gear jammer or two here. I don't get to drive on real roads much. I Line Haul from Fairbanks, AK to the Prudhoe Bay oilfields.

What was it that Gepetto said? "Carve a little wood, pull a few strings, and sometimes the magic happens"...or something to that effect anyways. There is nothing like the sight of a big ol bannana fletch dissapearing into the side of a large critter. Nothing. Have taken moose, black bear, ...

Good stuff here. Certainly of interest to me. I make a 500 mile trip 2-3 times a week through northeren AK pulling a tanker load of fuel to the Prudhoe Bay oilfields :?

I sure squandered away alot of mony buying "good" bino's. Glassing all day with "good" binos will give one a severe headache. At late dusk in the early gloom when you can no longer see anything, pick up a pair of Swaroski's and watch the world come alive again. No headaches after...

Doncha just love it? Minus 38 in the swamp this am. Got in last evening from a three day trip to Prudhoe. Atigun was sort of plugged up by blowing snow and an IsoTanker that had flopped over in the blow (driver "lost the road" in the blowing snow, hit the guardrail and rolled er over) Temp...

I got mine this spring after two years of "keepin an eye pealed" for one. Was pretty happy the day one was on the shelf and money was in the pocket. Have not regretted the purchase one little bit. I put a set of Skinner sights on it and have found it to be plenty accurate for both plinkin ...

1894C...rides over 2.000 miles a week in the tractor. Provides a more accurate platform to launch the ammo for the SP101. I am trying to wear in the barrel of a 6" GP100 though :wink: I drive through LOTS of wilderness each trip with plenty of pullouts that have large rock formations and gravel...
