    "A Sense of Evil"

    I've experienced these feelings also. It comes in strong...I'm being watched. I check my weapons and move on out, pausing to listen and look around periodically. My wife feels this more strongly than I, and she has commented on dead eyes.

    Classic Gun ads

    Anyone remember the ads for DEWAT Sten guns selling for $14.99? Supposedly some folks repeatedly dropped ball bearings down the barrel until the mandatory plug dropped out. A few folks in NM reportedly used this process then hunted rabbits with them. ATF wised up pretty quickly and then a...

    Skin Cancer Alert

    I wouldn't wear a hat or sunscreen when I was younger in the Texas and New Mexico sunshine. I finally wear hats and clothing with sunscreen protection. This after hundreds of actinic keratoses, a few non-lethal cancers, and a malignant melanoma (successfully removed) I think maybe I should...

    Mauser rifles for defense?

    I bought a 98 Mauser and sporterized it. I was planning on putting a new barrel on it, maybe even converting it to a different caliber. We took it to a firing range and it was so accurate we decided there was no need to do anything more to it. My younger son has it now and says he'll never...

    Advice re a Cabin

    Lots of pretty places in Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado, and New Mexico. How much snow do you want? If you're interested in New Mexico there's Ruidoso and Taos. Las Vegas, New Mexico seems nice. While driving from Taos to Las Vegas we encountered a man walking along the road with a nice...

    Credit Card Fraud - Beware!!

    The number of times Amazon came up on this thread is interesting. A few days after I made a purchase from Amazon someone used my credit card number to make a $475 purchase. An alert employee at the credit union called me and asked if I made that particular purchase, I said no, so she reversed...

    How close to ReTirement, Are U?

    December 31. I've held a number of jobs and enjoyed most of them, including the one I have now. It just seems like age 72 is a good time to hang it up. Besides, I need some time to shoot that new Browning Buckmark and a bunch of Smith & Wessons.

    Need suggestions for the Wife's 50th birthday

    Most of the ladies I know like the Ameribag. It's a kidney shaped purse that is very easy on the back. I special ordered one in leather and my wife of 48 years (at the time) said it was the best anniversary present I ever bought her. The size small is adequate for most ladies according to the...

    Red Wolves

    I recall reading that the red wolf is extinct in Texas and that they were trying to introduce a different wolf into the state. Years after that we were driving south on U.S. 59 (on vacation) and saw what I took to be a wolf. If any of you Texans know the current status of the wolf in the state...
