Tombstone pretty much takes the cake as far as historical prop accuracy (other than Doc getting 3 shots out of a double barrel!). Peter Skerakyo wrote a book about it, as not only provided the majority of the guns, tack, hats, etc for the movie, but also acted in it. It is an interesting book, and i...

Crud! I just saw there was already a post on this. Sorry guys.

Oh boy...you probably won't believe this, especially without a picture:

This year we bought spice kits from Sausagemaker.com and mixed the spices with 50/50 venison/deer. Best sausage we've made in years. Also, I can't recommend this book highly enough: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Sausage-Recipes-Meat-Curing/dp/0025668609/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1326717233&sr=8-3...

I've shot a good dozen deer with a .223. They've been just as dead as ones shot with my 30-06, but there was way less meat damage with the .223.

ndcowboy

By the way, I know you wanted that horse to be younger, but I once heard a fellow say that the best horse for kids just learning was at least 20, and if he only has three good legs, he's worth twice as much

Those types of horses never hurt anybody

ndcowboy

Don't be surprised if when these horses pick up in physical condition, they get "spunkier" on you. Horses that thin are pretty short on energy, and well fed horses get friskier and often give people their hands full if they aren't experienced. The majority of horses are real well pasture b...

Jeez-louise.... four hundred bucks! :o Heavy Stainless. A regular 55g barrel wouldn't hold up to cutting out the air slats, much less 1500+deg fire... We use the 55 gallon barrels. Every one gets a couple cylinders full of 44s for air holes. They last a year, then you get a new one, which is usuall...

There are not many of those in my neck of the woods, even though John Deere was very popular in our area. Nice tractor.

My own boss man had that policy! I asked why as the ATF had issued the C&RFFL and I asked why he wouldn't accept the driver's license as an ID for transfers as that was legal from most states. I didn't exactly get a response but.... he now accepts transfers from individuals. I suspect that call...

Gun dealers are almost as bad as Washington bureaucrats. I've been looking for an old Marlin 1893. I've found two I was interested in bidding on at Gunbroker. I emailed both sellers (who happened to have gun shops on the east coast) and both said they would NOT ship it to a person with a C&R FFL...

Bud's Gun Shop has the Ruger Vaquero sheriff's model with the 3 3/4 inch barrel for $419. Hard to beat that.

ndcowboy

I'm sure I'll see it...
But...
Why did they have to make it about Butch Cassidy? Couldn't they have made up a character to play the role with a different name and a little different background? I really dislike using historical characters in a made up roll.

ndcowboy

Congrats to your uncle. Those tags are tough to score. I've applied for the last 12 years with no luck. My dad has applied every year since the beginning and hasn't scored one.

ndcowboy

Always head shots. With the .223, we usually tried for behind the ear. With the 30-30 and 30.06, it was forehead.

ndcowboy

you shot it fair and square. you tagged it legal. the State took it. they owe you a replacement tag. call the G&F in Cheyene, get names & don't take no for an answer. .. I don't know about Wyoming, but here in North Dakota a tag guarantees you an opportunity to hunt, but does not guarantee ...

To the original question: Anyone ever shot a deer with a buff gun? Nope, but I've shot a couple buffalo with a deer gun. :D We help the neighbor butcher buffalo every year. We've used .223, 30-30 and 30-06 on the old bulls, and they are all effective with placement. With the .223, we use FMJ, but wi...

I've got a paper notebook that I write user names and passwords in. Nobody can hack it and there is no way the notebook can crash because of a virus. Pretty fool proof.

ndcowboy

I had one like that, but it was stamped "Kmart." It was an alright shotgun, and had the feature where both barrels shot if you pulled the back trigger first. It was a no-frills gun that went bang every time you pulled the trigger.

ndcowboy

We run a Versatile 150 tractor for feeding all winter long. It is a hydro tractor with four wheel drive. Of course, they haven't been made in a while, but if you find one, it will be within your budget. They are a heck of a tractor.

ndcowboy

Rumor has it Ruger will soon be coming out with a 1911. Might be one to look at, and it will certainly be American made.

ndcowboy

To answer an earlier question, you do NOT have to register your guns here.
Also, we are a shall issue state, so getting a concealed permit is pretty easy.

Yup, I live here - all 29 years of my life. We ranch about an hour north of Bismarck. I've not been everywhere in this big old world, but with everywhere I've traveled, this is where I always come back to. Anyway, back to your question. North Dakota is great. If you end up in Grand Forks, they typic...

I use both, but if you cast your own, for every 5 you cast of 200, it is like getting one free as opposed to casting 240s.

ndcowboy

I've used 180 grain Hornady XTP .44 bullets in sabots in my Ruger 77/50 blackpowder rifle with good success. The last deer I shot (open sights) was at 126 yards and went down hard.

ndcowboy

We have a lot of problems with mice here on the ranch. Keep in mind if you poison them inside, they will probably die inside and then they will smell. We use traps inside and poison outside.

ndcowboy

I'd bet money that the seals are so dried out they leak air badly. If you can get those seals replaced, there is very little other that can go wrong.

ndcowboy

Looks like a nice setup. I spent last night fixing fence in a new pasture where we'll move the cattle to next week. We won't work the calves for another three weeks, after which we move them to a pasture not connected to our home place. Gotta have good brands on them before they get too far from home!

ndcowboy

If you think about it, every year that C&R license gets a little better. You now have a whole decade of the first Rugers that are eligible for C&R with the 50 year old rule. In another 10 years, basically all Ruger Old Models will be eligible (give or take 3 years worth of guns). It makes me...

As I type this, I'm waiting for a 1944 Walther PP that I just bought off Gunbroker. It is supposed to be here Monday. This is the second gun I've bought off Gunbroker, and hopefully I don't get burned. Threads like this make a guy nervous

We butcher several beef a year and just like a poster earlier said, we split ours down the middle and somebody takes an entire half so they get the best of both worlds. If I had to choose, however, I would take the hind quarter every time. The work isn't that bad if you are set up for it and have a ...

Nate,
It took me a number of viewings to figure out it was Billy Bob Thorton. I actually saw his name in the credits, then had to go back and watch again. Even when I saw him, it was kind of hard to believe it was him as he put on some extra weight for the role.

I know there were a couple other posts about the M1 Garands that came back from Korea for $429 and thought I would throw out a new one with info I got yesterday. When the rifles were advertised at $429, I called my uncle who helps out at a gun shop and told him, and he ordered three. Yesterday he ca...

My wife and I watched it ONCE, and that was enough. We watch Pawn Stars every week.

Most people bringing in their merchandise have a ...

I think if you go back and look at Optics Planet, there aren't different sizes for the Colts and Rugers. The different numbers are for right and left hand.

I use one of the 1880's for a Ruger Lipsey's .44 special, which has the smaller frame close to the Colt, and it fits well.

If you are married, your wife is going to hate that permit! :lol: To answer the other question, a C&R permit allows you to buy any gun 50 years or older and have it shipped to your door instead of going through a FFL. There are also a few newer guns on the list that you are allowed to buy, such ...

One of the reasons I've heard for the military never accepting a lever action design is that a lever gun is not easy to lever while lying in a prone position. Sure, it can be done, but the rifle needs to be tipped sideways with the sights coming off of the target. Now before anybody jumps on me and ...

Good to hear from you.
