  1. Spotted @ Homer Despot the other day.

    & The license plate thing was odd considering there was a perfectly viable spot on his front bumper.

    For those who don't know why they should deride this massive stack, there is a maximum 4" exhaust pipe coming from the engine & there is zero functional gain by eating up this much bed real estate.

  2. Issue:

    Remington 1187 Super Magnum, 12 ga.  I have had it for over 20 years now & only recently started using it again; I had a limited availability to shoot & now have gotten the time & opportunities to go out.  The problem is in finding appropriate loads.  This gun apparently takes High Brass & "High Velocity" or "Max Dram" are the same thing.  A "regular" dove, waterfowl or skeet load won't cycle through & I get a shell hung up to where I have to take off the stock, barrel & plug so the unused shells will come forward through the plug tube.

    I ordered some Fiocchi Waterfowl 3" 1-1/8oz. #3 Steel Shot Ammo & also Browning Dove & Clay 2-3/4" 1oz. #8 Shot Ammo, both from AmmoToGo.com.

    The rep I spoke to said both qualified as the type that would cycle correctly... shells arrived in perfect order... took both boxes out back for some shots & the Fiocchi does fine.  Tested well, went through 1/2 a box & not really any need to go further.

    The Browning shells?  Locked upon the 1st shot.  I was short on time, so after I disassembled, removed the fouled shell & reassembled, I had other shit to do.  I will go after a totally different box & try that out, but I'm not feeling confident.

     

    Bottom line: it is difficult to get High Brass type shoot-gun shells. Not @ Academy, anyway.

     

    Thoughts, other than me doing my own reloads?

  3. I looked through this sub-forum & didn't find anything gun specific outside of the occasional discussion in the  hunting threads, so... here we are.

  4. Question.

    1. Legally, COULD you...
    2. Would you...

    Hunt this road?

    We are @ the end of a gravel & caliche road. There is one neighbor to the S side of us & both of our properties are to the L end of this 1st pic.

    Obv. I'm not going to shoot @ any power lines, however we do see dove sitting on the wires & I also see them collecting grit from time to time, or lifting off as I drive in or out.

    It is a private road, prob. ½ a mile long.

    None of the neighbors would have a concern & nobody has a house within 100 yards of any area shown on the pic with the yellow outline. My biggest concern (not too much of one) would be if I had one drop on the other side of the barbed wire fence, it is only on the S side of the road (shown to the L of the photos).

    Opinions?2f64fe0cd1a80dc5813d538829081438.jpg97b8a7481c6d7f3cda2984a2b5d73df5.jpg168e81d426d2f16391b89b4c6e9d007f.jpg

  5. I occasionally hear 'em in the woods behind me, but obv. no ability to localize.

    Sun is behind me & I am hoping for a bit of shadow assist to see if anything comes out & above from back to front.

    Prior pic is is directly in front of me.9b566cdbf393371a4c94730c5506afd9.jpg73990e44f0baa3fc30d87deea5eb82ec.jpg3557d6771da66520902890607fdba626.jpg8e2f2f7a4fa1b3bab45e552ee3c0f9ae.jpg9b2778dcfa72fcd61847fcacceff2e24.jpgf039758cb082f178cfbdaaa7de1b98b3.jpg

  6. Same spot, approx. 120° angle the other direction.

    Was on the phone with an eye doc (discussing Lasik, etc.) & w/ phone to L ear, popped off 3 @ a bird I missed.

    Didn't drop the phone & I had warned her of mybsituation, possible shots fired upcoming. 61f4dde53fa30c9626c5a9f5169ba3be.jpg

  7. Had 1 bird Kamikaze @ me today - 0° like a rocket, then peeled off into the cedars.
    3 pump shots, zero hit.
    Just enough to make me break open the BoreSnake.

    Got to enjoy the clouds, saw a lizard scurrying, various bugs. Slightly disappointed I didn't see any squirrels.

    Not too hot today; this was a late morning attempt, so I wasn't expecting much. cbfce2c42b264f6ac4f870df05fead2a.jpg

    I think we will see some church-sponsored packs/troops pushing back on the girl thing.  Some already have.   So that will be interesting to see play out.   They were already pissed about some of the other changes.   

    I don't know how the C.O. addressed it; the Pack said "no" (for now,  anyhow) for a 2nd possible year, so there is no info available to me on how the C.O. would respond if given the opportunity.

  9. Def. not a "kid" thing, however...

    Dropping off Roxette @ school yesterday (she's now a Freshman in HS & obv. way too cool for anything the rest of us adults could evar understand) & as she's walking along the sidewalk, I'm matching her stride & next to the curb, shouting "I LOVE YOU!  DADDY LOVES HIS GIRL!!!!"

    Totally embarrassing except there really wasn't anyone around to hear it other than her.  She was still mortified.  +1 for Dad.
