I've got a vintage Luxman PD-272 Turntable that I bought brand new back in 76-77. I'm looking to sell it. If interested in details shoot me a pm. I didn't list it here in the classifeds cuz it's not hunting related.
These guys were fortunate...close call. Glad they made it.

So lets hear em. I’ll start with a couple.
First sheep hunt for me 20 years ago, my buddy drew DCUA. We were 4 days into the hunt and had hiked in 20 miles. He shot a ram late in the day a few miles and a couple steep drainiges away from the tent. I had half the ram in the bottom of a borrowed...
Ok fellas. This is a long one and will come in a few posts. Here goes.
First some background to bring some perspective...

I was 43 when it all started back in 2003 when my wifey's best friend married Jay. Jay and I had only known each other for a short time when he called me one day and...

This is the first (and biggest) Bull I ever shot. 50 incher, nice big palms, kind of cupped in or would have been wider. Got him back in 1993 with my ol Hunting Buddy from MT when we moved here to AK. It was a special hunt. We got this guy and a 60 incher on the same hunt. Smaller palms but the...
Glad to hear this was a rescue and not a recovery.

Any Handgun Hunters here? Specifically revolvers. Not a pistol grip, sawed off rifle". Neither do I mean packing a pistol along with a rifle "just in case" you can get a shot with with the pistol. I mean, a man and his pistol. To coin a phrase.... "Like bowhunting only louder".
So we've got all kinds of gear list threads and "comfort items" thread. What are some of the "not so little" little things that you take on your Sheep Hunts. Not comfort items, or "extras". Necessities. I'll start with this one. Anti Bacterial Wipes. Gotta have em.
No Bull here. We saw a couple, made a play on them but couldn't close the gap. Got weathered in a couple days then ran out of time... and that's No Bull!
Any other No Bull sob stories besides mine?

What I have here is a Winchester Model 1901 10gauge lever action shotgun. Serial number puts manufacture year 1907.
This gun is all original, it has not been re-blued nor has the wood been refinished. Over 80 percent of bluing is left with some brownish patina and some freckling. There are a...

Grace and Peace to the families and friends of these two during this time of loss.
I'm looking for a pair of these Sporthill Expedition Camo pants. Mens size medium. I'm not looking for a worn out pair. I already have some worn out ones.
Watch your steps boys! Those of you here in AK that will be heading out this week. It's raining like crazy and or snowing all over. Looks like high creeks and rivers and slippery loose scree.
Some life things came up with my partner, and I had an issue with my back so we won't be able to make...
Down the road, in a gym far away
A young man was heard to say,
"No matter what I do, my legs won't grow!"
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, leg presses too.
Trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he'd do!
From the corner of the gym where the big guys train,
Through a cloud of chalk and...
The heavy slow 500L 450gr .512 at 950ish fps sure whops the steel a lot harder than the fast, light 150gr .357 at 1400fps.
