[quote="BlaineG"]:lol: :lol: As a drift boat skipper, I wish I could say the same. I live on the Missouri River near Craig, MT. Sadly, there are quite a few guys who may be quite smart, but have little appreciation for proper river etiquette. Kinda like the "mix" of folks one mig...

For my information please: I saw the original photos of Drifter when they were posted. When I saw this new thread I opened it and did not see the pictures. Did I do something wrong here?? Any help appreciated. ps--glad the dog is going so well. I'm especially interested as I have a new 5 month old b...

Sounds like the "Demise of the Levergun"--ol' Frank was probably outgunned because he was shooting a underpowered 30-30 Winchester lever action. Too bad---

I'd bet there are still far more lever guns in use today than there are centerfire pump actions.

Bruce Dern in The Cowboys was a guy you could really hate, but I think he's been pretty good in some other roles. He really abused John Wayne and scared the he__ __ out of the kid who dropped his glasses. But he got his just desserts in the end. Really made you want to cheer his demise.

Batman1939

Beautiful examples of gun- and scope- makers craftsmanship. Those are pure-dee artistry!!! Very nice Marlinman. I enjoyed seeing those photos.

Batman1939

Sounds like a rough winter all right. Spring is coming though and you have a lot to look forward to. Get back into shape to enjoy it Pard.

Batman1939

Very generous spirit Old No 7; That'll be treasured by the boys for a long time.

Thanks again for your service Jeremy.

Batman1939

Good on you Ted. Beneath the "skin and bones" that looks to be a real nice dog; I'll bet that he repays you 10 times in love for the kindness you've given him.

Like you, I'd be inclined to keep him.

Batman1939

Very nice Model 99 there. What "series" is it? I have a 99e that I bought new in 1965 but even then that model was not known for its beauty--kind of the ugly stepdaughter I guess. Yours is good looking and in a great caliber--from what I hear. Enjoy it.

Batman1939

Looks like you've added some fine acquisitions there Bill.

Batman1939

Congratulations ! Very nice buck and photo. Calling 'em in is fun too. Some good eating there.

Batman1939

I recently received a flyer promoting their next big "premiere" auction for Dec 4-6, 2015. If you want to see a load of really beautiful firearms, including over 400 Winchesters (many with levers) and over 750 Colts from well-known collections, you may want to scan their on-line site. Thes...

Very sorry for your loss. Our dogs are "family" and we're with them almost all the time (and vice versa). Unfortunately they are not so long-lived as we and we have suffered through the loss of several of our friends over the years. Your pain will ease friend, but the memories will stay wi...

That parliament is of "owls" isn't it? What is the collective term for magpies?? I've had a bunch of them eating from the deer backbone and limbs that I put out in the yard for the dogs. They've also flown off with about 5 pounds of fat and "odd-bits" of meat, etc from the same d...

mikld-Did you live in Compton?? I graduated HS there in '57 and Compton JC in '59. Left town and never looked back.

Batman1939

Very nice experience; none of you will ever forget it. Thanks for posting the tale and photos.

Batman1939

Enjoyed it Blaine. Thanks for the laugh!!

Good Shooting Jim. I've taken several elk with a muzzleloader (old style with iron sights, etc.) but never with a handgun.

Batman1939

I own no stock in any trail camera company. I've had 3 such cameras: an early Cuddeback which finally gave up the ghost after thousands (I mean it) of pictures, a Moultrie that is still functioning, and a Stealth which I bought at WalMart for under $100--no tax here in MT. For the money I'm pleased ...

Batman1939

Handirifle, I bet that you'd be amazed at the variety of animals that may be visiting your place. An inexpensive trail cam can really open your eyes about wildlife using your place. I've had 3 over the years and a Stealth cam, which cost less than $100, has captured many bears, grey foxes, deer, elk...

Batman1939

That's a bad thing about dogs; they tend to have shorter life-spans than we do. We've had to say "goodbye" to several over the years. Hang in there, the pain will eventually lessen.

Batman1939

Very nice to read about someone's good news for a change; the newspapers seem to publish mostly about bad news.

I've got a Rossi 92 rifle in 38/357, slicked it using Steve's video and parts; it's all good news for me.

Enjoy that carbine.

Batman1939

Welcome Back Jim. Hope your Wife's surgery goes very well and recovery time is short.

My birddog, a French Brittany, is getting better about skunks. He pointed two a couple of days ago and decided he did not have to tangle with either. Guess he's getting wise to their ways and it only took 5 or 6 "bad" experiences over the years . I once had a German shorthair that tried to...

My experience pretty much parallels that of Ray Newman. I've been on the CPAP even a bit longer; I use a humidifier with mine. Have much improved rest with the CPAP and don't like to sleep without it. Prior to using the machine, I was always a "belly-flopper", now I sleep on my back. It wa...

Very funny stuff. I enjoy word games and such.

Batman1939

Sounds like a beauty--Enjoy

Thanks Guys, that's what I've done in the past. For some reason the reply screen gives an address line with "none" in it. I can't replace the "none" with the correct address. I'll go back to square one and begin again. Obviously, I must be doing something wrong--computers are lit...

I've received a personal message and have been trying to respond. After typing in my reply and saving the draft, (I've learned painfully that it's important to save drafts) my message is shown but when I attempt to type the name of a recipient into the "To" line (which shows "none&quo...

A great wife can't be beat. Glad to learn that she still makes you happy after all these years; you must be doing something right!!

Batman1939

Hi, Didn't want to tromp on your thread on gunshops, but I've spent the past hour composing and trying to send you a pm about your French Brittany pup (all to no avail). I, too, have "reserved" a female from an upcoming litter in AZ--through Sun Country Bretons. If it's simple for you to s...

Batman1939

I usually just put a short line through the holes (or circle them) with a felt tip after my initial shots. Seems quicker than putting tape on them. Just a suggestion.

Batman1939

Blaine--Many years ago I fished for halibut with a friend who lives on Kodiak Island. We caught similar looking fish which he called "bucketmouths". Is it likely/possible this is the same species? Anyone got any information on this? Thanks!

Batman1939

I recognize the eiders and murres. Wondered if one of the early pics (3rd after the Red Fox) was a Rosy Finch. Those weirdly colored foxes up there are considered just color variants of red foxes. Willow ptarmigan are Alaska's state bird IIRC. Very nice photographs. Thanks for sharing. I was on Kodi...

Batman1939

I've got an old Ford 9N sitting out in the yard. Needs someone like you to give it tender loving care. Wish I had a place to put it in out of the weather. It has a big bucket on front and a gannon in the rear. Hasn't run in years.

Batman1939

Those look like "better-than-professional" !!! Very nice work and a very productive use of your time/skills.

Batman1939

Goat Guy--I know you probably didn't want to intrude onto this thread by posting it here, but I'd sure enjoy seeing a photo of the gun you built. Very nice story too!

Batman1939

Now you've given me something to think about. I bought a few pounds of that stuff a couple of yrs ago. So far we've used a little of it with no negative experiences. Works just like advertised. Maybe I'll try to track down the news article. Maybe I need to "shoot off" the rest of my supply...

Batman1939

I can't tell from the picture, but that could be a "kinda rare" species of skunk--the hog-nosed skunk. They tend to be found mostly in desert areas and have an extended snout that they use for rooting up larval insects. Looking at the photo again, I suspect that it's not a hog-nosed type. ...

Batman1939

Looks like a great place to spend the day--scenic and well set-up for shooting. Very nice!

Batman1939

Thanks, guess I didn't see the dog.

Looks very nice.

Batman1939

What breed is that shotgun?

Batman1939

Welcome back; always enjoy reading your posts. Sorry about your dog, glad she is still with you. I have an older french brittany that has gone through tough times, but is still joyful and runs around as well as she can on two and one-half legs. She has been cheerful through it all. Nice to have a fu...

Now for the interminable wait !!!

Batman1939

I've got one of those Rem 550's that I've owned for over 60 years. It was my second-ever .22 and I killed a heap of jackrabbits with it in the Mohave desert long ago. I probably haven't shot it in over 40 years, though I still keep it cleaned and oiled. I sure had a blast with that gun--back when lo...

Ruark's comment immediately came to my mind too. I was slow on the draw though.

Batman1939

Thanks for the update Danny. While I'm not the hung-ho hunter I was once, I still do enjoy the "fruits" of a successful hunt. I just had finished eating some nice backstrap steaks from a white-tail doe I shot last fall. A deer or two is much appreciated in our household; both my wife and I...

Batman1939

Danny,

Do you know of CWD being confirmed from wild populations in MT?? It's probably only a matter of time if we don't already have it.

Thanks!

Gary

Batman1939

There must be a real story behind that revolver Griff. Details?? (don't want to hijack though.)

Batman1939

Nice job. A beautiful rifle.
