I can't operate my iphone with my gloves on

To your friend in PA

Sorry.. I don't know if I mentioned that I was hunting in PA.

Tzaztiki sauce? uh yeah.. :clap:

Hey guys! I stopped posting yesterday because my battery was kinda low and figured I would save it in case I actually got lost! Don't worry.. I bought one of those booster packs today! I almost shot the dog.. blur of brown darted across the field. I had my gun all set, hammer cocked.. just waiting for the brown to come out from behind the bush, finger off trigger of course.. then I saw the orange in the corner of my eye.. it was small game hunters.. on opening day of deer season.. hunting with a brown dog, with no vest on him.. geez.. those guys strolled right by without even looking at me.. heads up their asses.. the dog was looking at me though.. Let's see.. around 6pm, the sweat in my boots was too much to take for my wicking socks (I shoulda put on my fresh pair at lunch).. so I was kinda miserable. We thought the deer were bedding in the corn field, after walking to the parking lot to relieve myself, I decided to scare the deer out. I figured if i wasn't going to shoot one, I might as well try to see one.. so I walked along the corn. I heard a shot, followed by another shot about 30 seconds later. Went back to the blind in case they were running towards me. Turns out, I must have scared two doe's down the hill to my friend. He said they just stood there and looked at him after the first miss. He had time to reload his gun (muzzle loader) and try another shot. He said the one he shot at seemed to vanish into thin air, the other stayed and watched until he opened the zipper on his blind. He said he didn't hear her crashing through the woods, no blood trail, stayed until it was too dark. We couldn't find her. So it's possible it was a second miss, but he was supposed to go back today to look again. Didn't hear from him today. So all in all, sitting in the cold and rain sucks.. but I like the experience so far the few moments of adrenaline where quite different than any EMT call I've been on, and even different from when I skydived. And I had fun messing with the pheasants. So, I'm kinda happy to go back tomorrow (and hopefully not Tuesday). Gear reviews: Rocky Gore-Tex Boots = Awesome Bob Kirshner's Deer Lure = stinky Socks = awesome walmart belt= teh suck walmart fannypack/backpack = teh bigger suck walmart camo shirts = good Magnum Hunting Blind (From Dicks) = awesome My gun = rusty Me = teh sleepy! :mrgreen:

Yesterday was my first day ever hunting.. I just tried to keep the muzzle pointed down whenever possible. A few times throughout the day I re-tapped the load down just in case it moved. I didn't fire my gun yesterday (just took the cap off).. I stopped by the range today to get the load out. Re-tapped the load, put a new cap on.. and bang.. went off first try.. so I would say unless your barrel has water in it.. it should be ok.. but take my advice with a grain of salt because I'm a N00b

I did that with my 1911 and 15 round mag.. haha

I need to clean the white stuff out of my keyboard. That is a GORGEOUS gun.

Mallard rules. No idea if they do private events though. If it brings them some cash they might? Call Dennis (the president of the club) and ask, he's a wonderful guy and may be able to set up something with us. I'm going one Sunday in Nov btw independent of an event, I'll make sure to post and hope others can join me! +1.. Dennis is a very nice guy!

They don't have sales on the good calibers anymore, but if they do, you can get a raincheck and when it comes in stock, they will honor it.

'What kidn of update was that? Important part missing: What was for lunch? the Greek restaurant doesn't deliver out here :-( had an old sub from wawa How old? last night, lol. Still didn't taste great. I just woke up from a nap I didn't want to take. And saw 3 pheasants walking by... The deer probably walked by while I was sleeping :-p

After lunch update: Gun starting to rust.. Put out more lure.. Smell even more like deer pee... Sleepy now

Quick update I broke my chair, almost shot a dog, and I'm out of food snacks

Nevermind... Gloves are on ;-p

Woke up 3:00, got my ish together and met hunting partner 5:15 am, drive was uneventful. Saw lots of deer on the road in, only 2 other hunters spoted on the way in far away. Set up blind, spread scent, etc... Sitting here in the rain waiting. Facemask on, no gloves yet glad I bought the good blind ;-)))

Yeah, that's true. One time, I got it from Aim, and it was hand written in marker right next to the address label. That guy at Edison always breaks my balls when shipping guns. Maybe I'll start going up to Bound Brook.

Sorry.. i can't hear you.. my tinfoil hat is covering my ears...

Hey PK, If that is true (which it probably is).. the guys at the Edison Customer Counter are wrong then. I had that one sticker printed and taped on securely on the top of the box, and after he cut open the package to "check the contents".. he handed me a magic marker and made me write on all sides of the box.

Maybe it's early in the morning, but I don't understand why your opinion is that these things should be PM only?

as far as ups is concerned, as long as it is in seperate packages (factory boxes, or smaller inner boxes) and has the words "ORM-D, Cartridges, Small Arms" on all 6 sides of the box, its ok to send via ground. USPS does not take Ammo, and It may or may not be a crime to send it through them. Here is a link to a label you can print out and tape on the box. I've used this before:

Saturday will be the first trial. I'm using my hawken percussion. A Flint is on the want list.. but I need to take care of a few things first.

Is it bad that is basically me, except I'm still "free"? Does it just make the final transition easier?

See.. if i was an exec at HK, I woulda made them a "license" deal.. everyone wins then.
