BlackOps Badger

Well, today sucked. It seems like all of the turkeys that were around just up and disappeared. Don't know what happened. We started off in the morning near a cornfield that has always had a ton of turkey on it. We heard no gobbling when the sun started to come up. There were geese honkin all over the place and we were sure they would have shock gobbled a few times, but we heard nothing. We moved up the high line towards the cornfield and found nothing. Not even a peep out of the birds. It was cold and fairly windy, so we think they just weren't too active. We started to move away from the cornfield to try a new spot and we spotted a gobbler strutting down the high line about 600 yards away. We started yelping at him, and he gobbled back, so we thought we were in business. He was across a main road and disappeared. We think he got scared by some trash trucks. Tried another spot a few hours later and made some calls from a high line. Had four jakes and a hen pop out if the woods. Tried getting them to come in, but to no avail. Noon came and we were screwed. Goin back out Wednesday. Weather should be nicer, so I'm hopin to get one then.

No orange for turkey. That's a good way to get caught by them birds. I do however keep orange incase someone walks up on me.

Surprised there hasn't already been a thread about this yet. Good luck to everyone that got an A week Turkey Permit. I'll be out there with my Dad. Hopefully, by 2:00 pm I'll be home and upoading pics of a long beard on here. Good luck everyone. Be safe out there.

I'm at 9. I hope I get it tomorrow. My shotgun is sitting at the shop, and I need it for turkey season on Moday!

My Dad has an old Thompson Center flintlock rifle that I haven't shot in at least 13 years. I've been itching for awhile now to shoot it, but never took it out. Two days ago I finally shot it, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Blackpowder has never been too much of an interest of mine, but now I'm gung ho. I want to get myself a musket, and a rifle. I was thinking something like what the Continental Army used during the revolution. From what I'm reading we used the 1777 Charleville pretty extensively. Is this correct? Any ideas where to get a nice reproduction without spending an arm and a leg? I found a few places online like Military Heritage, and Veteran Arms. Also want to get a Hawkins rifle at some point but that's far off. Also, any help with websites to get started with for ordering supplies like balls, lead, molds, etc.? This is definitely something I would like to get involved with a lot. I definitely wanna mess around with making my own paper cartridges, which doesn't seem difficult at all. I'm very intrigued by all of this. Especially because it almost seems like shooting these guns is like an art form. I'm so used to shooting guns that go bang as soon as you pull the trigger. It was really fun shooting something that has a delay to it. And I have a short video of me shooting my Dad's rifle.

Yes! Beat me to it. Kevin Costner was such a bad ass in that movie. First time I saw that movie, and K-Cos shot that dude in the face, I was all like OHHHH SNAP!!!

I did read the thread. I was making sure I understood the thread. As for me stating that I thought OC was a no no, that was rhetorical. I did need an answer to that. I was simply stating that I always thought it was a no go. No reply needed to that.

So I can open carry in Philly with FL or UT? I thought that was a no no. I thought you needed a PA LTC for open carry in Philly. And yes, John, that is Yolandi.

So, to recap, with my Utah permit, I'm good to go with concealed carry anywhere in PA whether I be in a car or on foot. Even in Philly. However, as far as PA is concerned, my FL license is just a worthless piece of plastic in my wallet? And I can open carry, even without these permits in PA as long as I'm outside of the Philadelphia city limits. Correct?

OMG! I love Weird Al!

I wear gloves all the time when I shoot. Just Mechanix gloves or something heavier when its cold. I wear them so I end up with less gun powder residue on my hands. Little extra grip is nice, but mainly to keep them clean. However, I really only wear them when I shoot clays.

If I wanted to bang a chick that had the body of a 12 year old chinese boy, I'd just bang a 12 year old chinese boy. Gimme a thick jawn over this any day.

Teeth. Lol

Is it a named weapon? No, it is not. It's an MPA57 S ST. It does say Mac10 type carbines however, it also says that under AK, but how many of us have Saigas or VEPRS or WASRS, etc. How about "Evil Features"? ii. A semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: (1) An ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; Nope (2) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; Yes, but easily rectified by pinning and welding a break. (3) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned; Nope (4) Manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; Yes (5) A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm; I would say no. While it may have a similar style to a MAC, it's definitely not. Works totally different. I believe there are a few members on the boards that have MPA weapons.

I'd say we're doing pretty good on that. The only one that has more yes than no is the Megan's Law for gun owners.

Was just in there. Couldn't get 20ga target loads at my usual spot. He had a S&W M&P Sport for $1700 dollars.

This guy is the definition of D-Bag. Everything is overpriced. That's why the locals call it Tiffany's. if you want any gun other than a Browning, you're an idiot. Even if you do want a Browning, you might get told it's too much gun for you. He makes up his own laws. He was just recently selling AR's for $3000. Also, supposedly he was taking bids on AR's. This is not a good place to shop. I was there twice, and both times had a bad experience.

Wait, wait , wait... You two are the a-holes that can't figure out how to pilot a sub? I hit a reef in my sub trying to stay away from you two. Lost all of my guns and ammo, too!

Am I the only one that thought dirty thoughts when reading this sentence?

Excellent rebuttal.

In a case like this I can understand why they would suspend him. I don't think it's a reprimand, as much as it is in case of backlash. I can think of at least one incident that happened at my high school. Two kids got in a fight. Only the kid that started it got suspended, he also happened to be the one that got his @ss whipped. Next day, other kid involved comes into school and gets jumped. Schools tend to do this for tempers to settle down, and the gossip mill to cool down. Now, if the kid in this case wasn't suspended and got shot or jumped the next day, everyone would be out for the administrators blood. I don't believe this has anything to do with the "pusification" of America, as much as it is "kids these days are idiots and don't know how to deal with life." I'm only 25, and for the most part as a kid if myself or one of my friends got into a fight with someone it was done and over with the minute the last punch was thrown. That's how things were handled. I got into a fight in high school with some kid. He spit chewed up popcorn all over my back in the lunch room. I turned around knocked him around a bit. Both of us got suspended for 3 days. Came back to school after the 3 days and everything was fine. Gave everyone a chance to cool off. Nobody really even talked about it after we got back. I do not think his suspension was out of line at all. If anything, I feel this article is just more stuff for people to complain about, because people love to complain.

Don't know if this is in jest, but, she never actually did say that.

Because some people have nothing better to do than be bigots.
