Precisely the touchy / feely crap the OP was talking about... Gabriel and Cole would be among the first ones we eat after the SHTF and the wildlife has been consumed.

Damn! F'ing awesome. Give that man a cigar!

Awesome... enjoy it -- few do.

I love to hike up the stairs to my media room where I usually pack a nice picnic in front of a huge flat panel. You guys are are making me tired just talking about hiking....

Back skin... easier seeing there was a few horses around. The cape they had to do in the field.

Thanks. The bullet went in the shoulder at 230 yards - right on target and the the pic below shows the wound channel. (Damn! Barnes are awesome!) There were 4 trackers helping with positioning the Bull for the picture and then it was prepped for removal from the ravine. It was taken out on horse back except for the head, horns and cape... that was kindly carried out by both myself and PH sharing the duty. He's currently residing in Newcastle SA at my chosen Taxidermist. There is a spot on the wall waiting. Hope everyone is cool with the graphic hunting photos... if not, DON'T scroll down.

Remington 700 Sendero SF II 7mm Rem Mag w/160gr Barnes factory loads... my go to rifle that I use for up through Eland.

Passed on 4 bulls until we were lucky enough to see this puppy. Like I said in another forum, it's better to be lucky than good.

Couldn't possibly get the message across any better... Sent out to my entire address book.

This is well put and indeed part of our problem. We are scaring the crap out of the neosocialism crowd. They want to kill what they fear. When they see a 300 pound blob, over-packed in camo and leg holsters rolling in the dirt shooting at zombie targets it doesn't help the cause.

And when bolting down, if possible, try to go through the floor with bolts, nuts and large washers through an small added joist. The bolts they give you can be pulled out by a strong ten year old if screwed down into plywood sub-flooring. RubberBullets: Whether the video is bias or not, the cabinet was breached in under two minutes. Doesn't bode well if a crook has 10 minutes or more to attempt prying. I understand everyone has a price point. What I wanted to convey is that people shouldn't think these $500 safes are anything more than safe storage to protect children from guns and items they can AFFORD to lose... that's all. If combined with a home security system it should at least put most bad guys on a clock. For true security people have to start by purchasing a safe that is tool-resistant and even then you have different levels. All of these $500 to $1000 safes are not that.

Because a professional burglar would be inside that cabinet in under two minutes if he gets it on it's back. It's a good gun cabinet that will keep kids out, but do not fool yourself into thinking it can replace a safe deposit box in a bank or a true high quality safe -- there is a reason why the same size from a high quality safe sells for 4k plus and it usually starts with thickness of the steel. Then at a $500 price point the fire rating is a real concern as well. This video is of a $1000 model. Most people do not take the step of encasing their safes into a frame or concrete... Like I said-- the Costco unit makes a nice gun cabinet to keep the kids out, that's about it. I wouldn't store any more money in it than I could easily accept losing.

+1. Selfish if done at one's home in a private room... involving someone's business makes it even more so. Unfortunately, these type of events will make taking part in our hobby even more cumbersome and time consuming with added paperwork, questioning and suspicion. Clearly the guy was also a tool.

Works as a decent gun cabinet and certainly keeps the kids out. Combined with a good home alarm will give you some time against a burglar if it's really bolted down well. Wouldn't trust serious valuables or a lot of cash in though. (fire or crime)

+ 1000. They allowed a 4 year old, a freaking 4 year old, access to a loaded firearm! This society is far to tolerant of it's inadequate members. This 4 year old needs new role models who understand what responsibility means.

Love him or hate him, the GWB White House and entire administration acted in the manner fitting a President and his staff. I miss a leader who understood what it meant to act Presidential. He sure had a crap load dumped in lap. Awesome video -- thanks for sharing.

Welcome from a fellow Warren County'er!

Hi A friend is now waiting on her FID and it's been a few months -- she is getting married in one month and it's looking like she'll have a different name by the time she goes to pick up her FID. Will this be an issue? If so, what she do and who should she speak to? In general, what do women do who have FIDs in their maiden names, get married and then want to buy a gun in say 10 years with complete different IDs? TIA

The Texas hunts are hogs held at bay with dogs and I doubt even the best tracker could sneak up on a Whitetail. I suppose if you were a "crazy somebitch" you could attempt to jump on one from a tree stand... actually I'd love to see someone try this.

Which leads us right back to the Founding Father's brilliance...

I guess I am also one of the 1%'ers... have had them in on my property and shot them raiding a bait pile for the black bear hunt.

Roll Tide....

Good information... We'd have more "reasonable" trophies if the yahoos would just learn to stop taking these youngsters before their time... Makes me sick to see the line of guys opening day around here thinking they "got dem'selves" a trophy when they should be ashamed they shot the first animal with a spike. It's a shame...
