my 10 yr old has been learning economics, talking careers etc. in social studies. Last night at the dinner table she says, "Today we talked about that if you learn and do well in school, then you can get a better job and stuff, is that true?"
Me: "1000 percent"
Lots of beretta 686 options under $2k.
I handled citoris and berettas, and went beretta. Just liked the fit and feel better. 20 ga, Schnabel forend, fairly lightweight (6lb 2oz), 3", interchangeable chokes, 28" barrel. Ticks the boxes for you.
Mine's actually a late 90s vintage 687 (just...
Agree thats probably a sweet option. I haven't seen one in the store yet.
I just had to go check....the little franchi 48AL 20gauge I've got tips the scales at 5lb 4.6 oz. :oops:
But OP doesn't want a humpback.
In that case, my best advice...
1a. Spend ALL that money on the ring now. When you're still happily married at your 5th anniversary buy yourself whatever shotgun you $%&# want.
1b. If you choose to ignore 1a above, never let your fiance find out you bought a shotgun w savings you didn't...
I watched the above vid...it didn't make me feel much better. But, I did notice the guides quartering elk leaving hair on. Interesting concept.
Later found the youtube vids of Eichler quartering elk hair-on in under 10 minutes...again, interesting, bc it would normally take me much, much...
what makes you think I'm leaving the tent at night??? #widemouthgatoradebottleforthewin
@Dsnow9 same boat, drew WY and got better LE draw odds by applying in a grizzly hotspot
was told by the bio "I've hunted in there a bunch...you probably won't run into a bear but I'd not shoot an elk...
Wife and kids talked me into adding a second dog to our house. Already have a well-behaved 3yr old female lab that's great.
Hot tips or best practices for introducing a new puppy to the fold? Don't want to upset the apple cart.
Wish JLS was still around...dude was a veritable treasure...
Some great options already listed.
I've got a franchi 48AL that fits the bill perfectly. Recently acquired for about $300 from a bird hunting mentor who's aging out of the upland game. 20ga, 5.2-5.4 lbs (don't remember exactly but it's even lighter than my 20ga Beretta o/u). Mine has 26"...
There's been several threads about this and I suspect it varies wildly by location, type of camp etc.
Some of our best luck / experiences have often come by getting on the bulls we hear bugling from the tent at night, especially in areas / times where the bulls only talk at night.
We try...
A bear was shitting in the woods one day, and a rabbit came hopping by.
Bear says, "Hey Rabbit, do you have a problem with shit getting stuck in your fur?"
"Nope," replied Rabbit smugly.
So Bear grabbed the rabbit and wiped his ass with him.
Lots of great suggestions already. Ecola State Park, just north of Cannon Beach, has a beautiful hike along coastal cliffs...if you do it, park on the south end of the park and hike the coastal trail to Indian Beach and back, about 2 miles round trip.
We usually have some around every year...but we're on the edge of the overlap range on the map, so I guess I'll post up pics later if things get weird here.
