Rifle wanted

Hi Pineyriverbuck, I have been looking at the marlin 27, and like the look of it! I'm going to get one!! There is one that was called the Glenfield...or something like that. It seems that the Marlin you have is ideal for me to learn with, and is not expensive. There is also a model that takes differ...

Rifle wanted

Hi TYE, Nice to hear from you again. I know you like the 30.06, and my new rifle will be either that or .270. I was intending getting the same model as you, or the 7600 pump as you know, but things have changed now (again! ) I am deciding between the Savage model 14/114 American clasic, or the Ruger...

rifle needed

Hey guys! This may be a strange request for a crossbow forum, but has anyone out there got a half-decent .22 bolt action for sale. I am in the process of choosing a hunting rifle, but have been advised by a few very knowledgeable shooters that I should also get a second-hand 22 of the same action as...

The seasons!

Hi Guys, Hope you are all having some luck with your hunting! I can't wait to have a go next season.

rechargable batteries...again!!

Hi Guys, I'm still having trouble getting a rechargable battery for my trail cam. it would appear that nobody will mail them because of the make up of such batteries!? I have tried Bass-pro, and Le baron etc, but they all say the same thing! They all have them, but won't ship/mail them! I'm stuck wi...

Rechargable batteries

Hi guys! I wonder if any of you Canadian hunters could tell me where I can buy a 6 volt rechargable battery? I have been waiting for ages for my order from Bass pro in the States, for a 6 volt charger, and a battery for my trail cam. Today I received the charger, but no battery!!? :roll: I contacted...

Don't you just love being outdoors!

After the covering of snow on the 4th, it was looking like our planned Bonfire night celebrations were going to be a bit of a damp squib. But the snow melted, and we had our bonfire! I can't believe the amount of brush and firewood we burned!! The fire was lit around 1pm, and we were still sitting o...

Too Hot???

Wow, it's strange reading about how hot it is for some of you guys! This morning I looked out to see a covering of snow, and the temp never got above one degree all day! I needed to use my ladder to check a damaged vent on the side of the homestead, and found it frozen!! Impossible to extend it! It'...

Bow hunting course

Have any of you guys done the bow-hunting course? If so, I'd like to know what it entails! I'm thinking of enroling, and would like to know what I can expect. I got through the firearms, and hunting courses, so may as well do the bow hunting now! Cheers, Grizzled.
