I went scouting yesterday with my hunting partner on some state land in Durham that we have hunted for the past few years. Last year there wasn't much sign at all, but I was able to bag a really nice doe three days into the season. This year there were ample buck rubs and scrapes and best of all we ...

How many cycles for the rust bluing? Also, what solution do you use?

I had intended on sighting this in a while ago, but haven't had the opportunity. I finally brought the Savage to High Rock this past weekend and sighted it in along with the annual slug gun check. The Savage was a bit easier on the shoulder. :lol: I was very pleased with the way it handled; the trig...

I've always been a fan of wood stocks. Beautiful!

On average this year, how long are the shots you have to make?

Yeah, I was wondering about deer. Last year was the first year I shot a deer while I was on the move. Three days into A season I was hiking out to a new spot to try during the evening and a doe exploded out of her bed not 25 yards away. Talk about an adrenaline rush! If she kept going she would have...

How do you hunt?

Do you stay in a stand or still hunt? I usually find a tree to lean on near some sign or a trail, staying until my boots are frozen to the ground and then I start walking around. :) A good friend of mine dislikes waiting around for something to walk by, so he still hunts most of the time. What do yo...

I was at Walmart Saybrook the other day and a guy was there with his girlfriend trying to buy a box of 12 ga. When the associate told him that he needed a permit he looked like someone punched him in the stomach. I just told him "Remember that law that they forced through? Welcome to CT." ...

I've had a Grand Raptor since '06 and it has served me well. Its due for a little refresh when I get the extra money, but it will still serve its purpose until then. I haven't handled the Solo, but since I have a PM9, I don't feel the need to check it out. No problems with any ammo through the Kahr ...

Anyone else see this? Who wants to bet that these explosives are primers and powder?

Thats quite a show of force for one man without a record who just happens to be a gun enthusiast.

Harbinger of things to come in CT, I think.
