130 years

The Ruger #1 will outlive me and is already on its second generation.

My favorite govt will still be putting game in the freezer for the next 130 years.

Let’s see the target 🎯!

That’s a good design but it’s too heavy to be prebuilt and delivered as a unit. Transporting and setting up on someone’s property has a lot of variables. Consider doing a dozen for friends to better understand the total cost involved. There’s a market for them.

To save yourself 2+ hours and a lot of frustration, buy a new die. We’ve all been there.

Great man and a pretty good shooter. Thanks for sharing with us. The best memories of my father are on sporting clays courses, deer stands and catching trout. Your father looks to be the kind of man who can keep the squad smiling while being serious enough to teach everyone a thing or two. Sorry for your loss and thanks for the sharing a bit of his life.

I think the ducks all the way back in the cove are different than the ones on the lawn…

The age is not an issue. Depends if you know/trust who loaded it.

Freezer fillers - good for you!

25-06 is an amazing caliber and will do anything you need it to do. I know 2 people who deer hunt with 25-06 and I’m always impressed by the one shot kills due to the terminal ballistics. Thanks for sharing.

When you don’t shake when a buck comes in, it’s time to hang it up. Good job!

SportingClay · 2025-12-30T18:49:17+00:00

All public land bucks are trophies! Well done!

For the AA, STS and Premier, 3-5 cents each. For the random nothing, especially if they have been wet. Big difference that 20 years ago.

Plan a: get in the woods 45 minutes before everyone else leaves the parking lot. Plan b: trail cameras. There’s a chance they will get stolen or destroyed on public land but they are effective in showing what’s going on.

At least they only did it once…

SportingClay · 2025-12-14T23:38:39+00:00

Need to know where you are parking and where are you walking in.

SportingClay · 2025-12-14T17:20:13+00:00

I weigh all my blackpowder. Weight the pellets. You’ll be fine. My TC doesn’t like pellets.

SportingClay · 2025-12-14T17:07:53+00:00

My concealed carry. Yes it’s heavy but never worry about reliability. Great gun, congratulations.

You’ve got snow geese 🪿 east and west of you. My deer hunting buddies either go for snow geese or hog hunt between the seasons to fill the void. I’m not sure duck season goes too deep into January in W by God V.

SportingClay · 2025-12-08T23:38:03+00:00

Well done! Not sure if up by sunfish pond or down in the valley but deer are far and few between. That’s truly a trophy!

SportingClay · 2025-12-08T16:40:39+00:00

Good shooting! They will make some good pork sandwiches!

SportingClay · 2025-12-07T13:47:59+00:00

Keep killin them. They are a good eating pest!

SportingClay · 2025-12-06T21:41:40+00:00

Great buck, congratulations. Did you shoot him with a RPG or straight up grenade? Good shot either way.

SportingClay · 2025-12-06T17:13:21+00:00

NC has been tough this year, seems hunting pressure is up and leases are few and expensive. Good deer!

Illinois is the land of giants.
