    If you could change your profession, what would it be?

    Started out pumping gas and fixing flats at 18 and married. Went from that to selling auto parts to selling cars to management and then the place went under. Banker friend called and said he needed help. I had to borrow a sports jacket from my brother-in-law to interview. That was 36 years ago...

    The July/August Fat Off

    I’ll join in. Started at 211 lbs on Memorial Day. No bread, no taters and no sweets. Dealing with a good case of Plantar Fasciitis right now so not a lot of exercise. Weight 200 this morning. I’m 63 years old, 5’10”, work at a desk and love sweets. It has been hard but I have not failed yet. BTW...

    I am a flat lander. Went on a hunt with some friends a few years back and we packed out five elk in 10 days. Some within a few miles of the truck. Some much further. I don’t remember any of the pack outs being down hill. I was 60 at the time. I struggled but my pride made me keep up. I thought I...

    Have not tried the 180 Barnes but the 165’s are hell on Whitetails. Very accurate and deadly!

    What size trailer? 2012 Polaris 500 Ranger Crew.

    I am looking at the possibility of purchasing a 2012 Polaris 500 Ranger Crew. I currently have a 5’ x 8’ trailer for my four wheeler and know the Polaris will not start to fit on it. Question is do I need a 6’ x 10’ or 6’ x 12’ with a fold up gate? I don’t want too much as I have an 18’ for the...

    Favorite Rifle???

    The question is thought provoking. I don’t keep rifles that I don’t or won’t shoot (other than antiques passed down) but have a safe full. All have an intended purpose or use. If I had to bug out I would grab my Tikka T3 SL in 7RM. My favorite to shoot is my Browning A-Bolt in 260 Rem. My...

    Demographics of Eastmans Hunting Forum

    I am 62 years old but still acting like I was 40. I do catch myself watching hard tasks more these days rather than being the first to jump in. All my life in northeast Mississippi, the last 36 in banking.

    Scope for 22-250

    My Salvage Model 12 BVSS has worn a 8.5-25 x 50 Leupold VX III with target dot since it was new. 20+ years. Was expensive even then but has sent many p-dogs on their way.

    Am I the only one who does not enjoy cleaning firearms?

    Deer season will close January 31st. I will pull stands the weekend that follows. I will then start cleaning rifles. Four for the grandchildren, one each for the son and son-in-law and four that I hunt with. They all get pulled from the stock and cleaned internally as well as bore. I finish my...

    Browning HC Long Range

    I don’t have the Long Range but do have a HCS in 300WM. The brake is very adequate. I remove it while hunting and killed a nice Mississippi Whitetail a couple weeks ago and didn’t feel a thing.

    Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year to all. I will begin my New Year in a shooter house in Mississippi with my 7 year old granddaughter hunting Whitetails. She may last an hour but it is her hunt so we do what she wants and stay as long as she likes. I have been blessed beyond measure!

    What do you do with your horns/antlers?

    I have several hanging in the garage. At least 10 Euro mounts and probably another 10 racks. I Euro all of the grandsons except the one shoulder mount from my youngest a few years ago.
