Re: How are you southern boys holding up?
Plenty of rain in Central Illinois. I think we're 8-9 inches over normal for the year. Not much harvesting going on here.

Re: Who needs the .44's anyway?
I'll keep my 44's because I like them. I started with that several years ago and that is what I'm set up for. That 45 Colt is a bit bigger, just like the 41 is a bit smaller. Who cares they'll all do the job very nicely. I don't want alot of different calibers so there I am.

After reading all this you may want to get another. This is America. If ya want to sell it, sell it and don't look back. Here's my but. BUT, as handy as the 38-357 combo is, my gut feeling is this will be one you wished had not gotten away.

Re: OT-Shot a Mountain Lion with a 22.
I believe I would have taken the shot (shots) to protect my property. It is a beaytiful animal, and a killing machine. If I had a heard I would not be serving it my beef. If he didn't take the shot now, he'll have more dead cattle before he gets another shot. If he ever gets another shot.
