Young bull standing his ground on a road in Maine some years ago. The country they play in is thick and at times inhospitable to humans:

Alaska has the same law. That's why Ted Nugent got fined for a hunt he took in 2009. http://articles.cnn....l?_s=PM:JUSTICE My buddy made a "bucket list" some years ago and has been pursuing it with gusto.

In Newfoundland/Labrador, you must use a guide, so you can't DIY. I can give you the name of a guide if you draw in Maine that has a good success rate and they run a top-notch camp. Don't forget Newfoundland has the hunting regulation found in most northern regions: "Any animal wounded and lost in the process of the hunt, is owned by the hunter and the hunt for that animal is over." Wounded or dead, it is yours! My buddy has hunted Newfoundland for caribou, but not moose. For moose, he went to Alaska last fall:

The opening minute lists various shooting headcounts. One, "13 killed, 29 wounded" labeled as "while at work," I'm sure is referencing the Ft. Hood shooting. Does anyone have an issue with this being defined as workplace violence? How prophylactic can our government get?

Yes. But that is different than say aiming on a stationary target. The only time you "aim" a shotgun on a skeet or trap field is possibly positioning the muzzle at a starting point before the flight of the clay target. Possibly holding on one of the five points on a trap house or on either lower outmost corner of the high or low house. Once the clay's flight is initiated, you don't aim at all. You track the target and pull the trigger via a sustained lead, pass through, or a combination of both.

Tactical shooting at stationary targets is the only time where a shotgun would be aimed; in any of the clay games a shotgun is pointed, not aimed. Target shooters may strengthen that description by saying their shotgun is precisely pointed as it is swung on/with a moving target. Kim Rhode won her fifth Olympic medal yesterday. I don't think she aims. http://www.washingto...NpIX_story.html

Sears & Roebuck never actually manufactured all their firearms. They only sold them. Many were made by some famous makers, both here and abroad. Sears & Roebuck merely put their name on them. Most were solid, reliable, utility-grade guns that they sold but there were some diamonds in the rough. Mind you, this was back in the day when a Sears store was worth buying from. Here's a good link listing most of the makes and models: http://www.gun-data....ebuck_guns.html There's information too in the various blue book's detailing these models.

http://www.foxnews.c...rsenal-weapons/ Authorities have arrested a Maryland man they say referred to himself as "a joker" and threatened to carry out a shooting at his workplace. Police arrested 28-year-old Neil Prescott of Crofton, Md., after he allegedly called his employer and threatened to "shoot the place up," a source close to the investigation told Fox News. Authorities say the suspect called himself "a joker" before his arrest Thursday. Officials say they believe the threat could have been carried out as a copycat of the shooting massacre one week ago in Aurora, Colo., in which 12 people were killed and 58 injured during a midnight viewing of the new Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises." "I am a joker. I'm gonna load my guns and blow everybody up," the man told his supervisor in a phone conversation earlier this week, officials said. The suspect was also wearing a T-shirt that said, "Guns don't kill people. I do," when taken into custody, according to authorities. During a press conference Friday afternoon, authorities referred to the case as a "thwarted terror threat" and called it "significant." "We can't measure what we prevented here," Prince George's County Police Chief Mark Magaw told reporters Friday. "We averted a significant...and violent episode." Police said that when they took the man into custody, they found an "arsenal" of weapons inside his home. The Associated Press reports that a search of the suspect's home turned up more than 20 guns, including assault rifles and handguns, and more than 400 rounds of ammunition. The man was about to get fired from his job at Pitney Bowes, a software and mailroom supplier in Prince George's County, authorities said. He was arrested at his home in Crofton, Md., Thursday night. Pitney Bowes spokeswoman Carol Wallace said in an emailed statement to the Associated Press that Prescott was an employee of a subcontractor to the company and had not been on any Pitney Bowes property in more than four months. A source told Fox News that Prescott is "emotionally disturbed." He was being held Friday at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, where he was undergoing a psychological evaluation. Crofton is located between Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Md. Read more: http://www.foxnews.c.../#ixzz21sAiTnIH

Saw on NJH that there is a 12 ga. WingMaster smoothbore slug gun someone is looking to trade. This would make a good platform and the older WingMaster's are preferable.

Interesting SCOTUS response to this: http://video.foxnews...aylist_id=87937 It's a crime to impersonate a police officer, a crime to impersonate a lawyer, a crime to impersonate a doctor; but not a crime to impersonate a war hero because that person is protected by his freedom of speech. Amazing.

The .243 is a great round. Most BLR's are pretty accurate once you find the right load for them. Any of the optic options mentioned would suffice. I always preferred low-profile scopes on lever guns. I like the VXIII 1.5 x 5 variable that I moved to my BLR now. The 5X setting can suffice out to 200 yds. yet affords a wide field of view up close when turned down to the lower powers.

When Thunder Mountain had 5-stand, I used my M12 occasionally. It's doable. An 870 was THE trap doubles shotgun for years beginning in the 50's. http://www.joeletchenguns.com/pump.htm

Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinksi comes to mind when I saw this. He was crazy. http://en.wikipedia....chard_Kuklinski What's going on in Mexico right now with the cartels and their daily murders and beheading's seems crazy too. Mother Jones omitted a few - http://www.motherjon...s-shootings-map

My point was that aside from Muhammad & Malvo, mostly white's fit the profile who perpetrate these acts. "More of" would be defined as these type of shootings.

Menendez resurrected Lautenberg from the grave last week. They are sponsors of feel-good legislation that will ensure USOC athletes' uniforms are made in the U.S. of A. I can hear the chants of "USA, USA, USA" approval already. http://abcnews.go.co...ca-act-of-2012/

The Colorado shooting was the classic "white man goes berserk," another modern day Falling Down. America's appetite for violence is insatiable. We demand it in our entertainment everyday. Doesn't say much for us as a culture. Psychologists and sociologists have been doing cause-and-effect studies on TV and movie (and now video game) violence and its effects on people since the 1950s. The majority of these studies usually show a positive correlation between the viewing of violent acts and later violent behavior. (Remember learning in your Intro. Psych. and/or Intro. Sociol. classes about the famous Bobo doll study with little children, done in the 1960s by a researcher named Albert Bandura?) Aggression is a learned behavior. Yes, crazy people will always exist. We just have more of them today and these instances will continue. The trend now is many tend to outdo the previous ones with how horrific they are. Charles Whitman shot 45 people back in 1966 from the UofT clock tower. There were no violent videos games back then, just the Vietnam conflict. Grand Prix, Born Free and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum were the top movies of that year. None that we would call violent. These incidents will happen with a methodical madman or sick person. We've become numb to them. Seems movie theaters are a great place for mayhem: Warner Bros. is contemplating changes to its upcoming thriller "Gangster Squad" in the wake of Friday's movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo. during a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises." The film, scheduled for release Sept. 7, features a key scene in which mobsters open fire on a theater audience from behind a movie screen. Automatic gunfire rips through the screen as horrified filmgoers rush for the exits and police try to stop the mayhem. http://www.latimes.c...0,7973410.story Or the recent film God Bless America http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb7XlUoEKtE

Google a fellow named "Carbine" Williams (David Marshall Williams) although I believe the term carbine was around long before he was born. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbine

It's not looking good for Joe - Poll: Menendez holds lead in N.J. Senate race http://www.northjers...e.html?page=all

I sold my two magnum's some years ago. Standard rounds are fine for me now. If I get another rifle it will be a 6.5mm something (.260 Rem., 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x284) or something 7mm; probably the .284 Win.

There have been quite a few cartridges over the years with a .338" diameter bullet: .33 Winchester .338x57 O'Connor .338-06 .338-06 AI .338 Federal .338 Lapua Magnum .338 Winchester Magnum .340 Weatherby Magnum .338 Remington Ultra Mag .338-378 Weatherby Magnum .338 Edge .338 Norma Sadly, I own none.

I would try Numrich as Griz suggested or try these folks who stock Mossberg parts. They may have just the spring: http://www.havlinsales.com/22rifle.htm or http://www.gun-parts.com/peepsights/

I recognize that peep. A similar peep sight was used on a Mossberg we had as kids; looks a lot like this one: Link - http://www.ebay.com/...s-/120947915314

Cost probably. He's customizing Japanese lever-actions from Winchester and Browning and selling them for a premium as well. (REAL Winchester's are off the hook!)

Yes, the TAR-10 weighs in at 13 lbs. Certainly no lightweight. BTW - This was recently introduced and they've already sold 14 of them.
