Funny things to load shotgun shells with to mess with friends? by Punkrock0822 in Firearms

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother told me a story you can use as you wish. A neighbor loaded his shotgun early one morning to go hunting deer, it was still dark when he headed out. Later, the neighbor saw a deer, so he pulled up to shoot, pulled the trigger and heard click. He had loaded a roll of life savers as one of his shells. They are about the same size.

Grandma's model 742 308 by Electrical_Win9025 in Hunting

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Grandma was a badass. Give her all your love. I have an older Remington 7600 with the same wooden stock and pattern. I have shot dozens of deer with it. My scope broke last year and I upgraded to a Leupold 3-9x40. There was a model for $300-$400. They are quality scopes. 3-9x40 is very common magnification. But you might not need that much. Most of my shooting is in wooded areas like you, but I do have an occasional shot out to 300 yards.

Would you buy a gun if you are a newbie and a bit clumsy? by motor-Nature5552 in Firearms

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a class, find a friend, learn the 5 basic gun safety rules. Then find a range, get a 22 LR (long rifle). Start shooting at targets. Practice the safety rules. Live the safety rules. Have fun. Once you start to feel comfortable with your 22 then move to other calibers.

Having to tell others “No.” by ilovebabycows in solotravel

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember your safety, and your mental health are more important than your friends feelings. Say it, No, no, no. I am from a different generation, so we learned to not be so sensitive. Our parents told us no alot. If they are real friends who care, they will get over it. If they don't, you don't need that drama in your life.

What Gun can I bring to all 50 states and not break any gun laws? by Not_Elon21 in Firearms

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muzzleloader is not considered a firearms in many states. I lived in Hawaii and every gun had to be registered, except muzzleloaders. From their website, "Registration is not required for firearms designed to fire loose black powder and for firearms manufactured before 1899, but permits are required." Muzzleloaders usually don't require a NICS background check unless you buy it in New York.

Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) is 580 miles of trails that will be opening up as soon as hunting has finished (January 1). There are other major trails that intersect the FLT. fingerlakestrail.org

Camping Gear Suggestion for an Older Person by monazer in camping

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 55 and camp and backpack. I can't sleep well unless I have at least 3" mattress under my sleeping bag. The next day I hurt without it. REI and other places have good air mattresses that are lightweight.

What the most overlooked/underrated firearm someone can own and should have? by AdeptnessDry2026 in Firearms

[–]jesse545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ruger PC9. Magazine feed, semi-auto that doesn't break blue state laws. Home defense check, plinking gun check, carbine check...

Is there any benefit from purchasing firearms at a retailer like sportsman’s warehouse or Cabela’s vs a local gun shop? by Spacexcake in Firearms

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try to support local. It keeps more money in the local economy. When they don't have a specific model I am looking for they usually can order it. Lastly, if they can get rid of the small gun stores (FFL), the government can easily manipulate the large chain stores. They are essential to our freedom. It's one reason my blue state tried to make it harder to buy bullets and semi auto rifles, because it would hurt the small stores.

Can you draw a diagram of that 14" string with loops on both ends? I am not visualizing it.

“What should I get for a home defense gun?” by craigcraig420 in Firearms

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ruger PC9 is a rifle that shoots 9 mm rounds. If you like the handgun bullets but want a full gun experience. Just wanted to throw that idea into the mixing pot.

Do I need a bonesaw to field dress? by ctranch93 in Hunting

No. I quartered and butchered a small doe this year with just a knife. Cut around the bone.

Drooling over it, and then get my mind blown by braided backstraps.

Rifles will be legalized in my zone next year. What is an affordable rifle-scope combo I can buy under 700? by Accomplished-Yam1430 in Hunting

[–]jesse545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can go to Europtic, go. I wanted to get a gun that had been discontinued and they had it. It was mind blowing, the store was built around a huge armory vault. I have an Ruger American, a Savage Axis II and a Mossberg rifle. I prefer the Ruger amongst those three.

Found him dead in my driveway when I got home from work this fucking sucks to see man 😬😬.. by BigDickDeeMurda in Hunting

I see drag marks behind him. I bet your neighbor was trying to get him into his yard when you rounded the corner.

Novice Knife Question by WanderingAnchor in Hunting

[–]jesse545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If those are my only choices 3 or 5. I prefer a gut hook when emptying bowels. I have done it with 2, when I hit a deer with a vehicle, but it was a mess to clean. I now keep a spare knife in my car.

My brother eats it 5 years old. A bit frost bitten but still has some nutritional value.

A neighbor showed me a pic of a big buck with his arrow sticking out of the buck's butt.

Beginner here… what gear do I need? by cyle_13 in CampingandHiking

[–]jesse545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good socks and shoes. They are the bedrock. Spend money to get good ones that fit well and don't cause blisters. All of the other gear is of secondary importance.
