This is true.
And bringing loads out from several miles deep can make it necessary to leave bones behind.
On the flipside, I feel I caused an elk's meat to take on a very tough texture because...

We spend a lot of time in the Montana backcountry, out of cell range. So, now this Motorola Defy Satellite link device apparently just became functional for U.S.- wide coverage. We picked one up a...
Open book,
Likely in the area west of Leesburg within an hour drive of it. Having public lands & few people around will probably dictate where we land.
Glad to hear there are some possibilities!...

Lots of good ideas above.
I'll reiterate that spot & stalk hunting means cold glassing for maybe hours, but sweaty hot while climbing mountains. Having layers for wind & wet snow, and pants with...
Sounds like things everywhere are different nowadays. I'm not all that old, but can remember when the coca cola commercial song talked about "200 million people" in the U.S. I think it's near 340...
Grandkids will grow up there, and I suspect we'll be moving there at some point. Coming from MT, it will be a change for sure. But being we're older now, it's not like we're able to pack out an elk...

The distant encounters- all 200 to 400 yard range - I've had with grizzlies while hunting or fishing in Montana & Yellowstone makes me agree with what Mr. Electrod says.

My dad is 92 & has had this condition for 30 years or so. Doctor says it is called essential tremor, as noted by farmer66. Cause & cure, he hasn't found out yet.

Lived in north central and north west ND for 20 years, 20 years ago. Things have likely changed some, but here's my assessment:

All sorts of different scenarios of disaster brought up in this forum. I tend to think a semi-short term (6 months- 2 yr) event is a pretty likely scenario. Maybe natural; maybe supply-chain;...

Yeah, I use an RCBS die for sizing the miscellaneous case that wasn't fired in that particular rifle. Works great in Shiloh. I'll probably just dedicate a single brass to the C Sharps...keep it...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I think Mr. Don McDowell did a fine job of relating what I'm trying to say, & explaining why. Even after a few resizing operations, some cases from my C.Sharps still won't chamber easily in the...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Right...my C Sharps sizes a little different than my Shiloh. Most of my cartridges will interchange but sometimes they still wont chamber after a resizing. Not a big issue; just knew you guys had...

It's not a big chore to keep track of spent brass formed in 1 bpcr -vs- another. Invariably though, some fired cases could end up together. Maybe in a tumbler; or sometimes I'll primer a few extras...

Good stuff.
So my takeaway from this is:
I believe Joe Shopowner has every right to charge whatever he wants. It's his decision alone.
I believe John Q Handloader has every right to buy if he...
Good feedback. Well, that's pretty much my view too.
But I'm not inclined to sell any firearms in this day & age - even if it needs sold.
Probably use Rintinglen's rationale to keep it...
Had this thing for 10 years or so; thought it would be all kinds of useful.
Admittedly has its place, being it fires 410's, 45 ACPs, 45 LCs. Mine spends time bedside, in the truck, or camper.

At this time; if you owned a shop selling shooting & reloading supplies, how would you set policy to give all a fair chance at the goods?
Limit quantities? Lottery? Wait list?
Silent auction? ...
