    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    Took me forever to see the dog!

    Enclosed ladder stand?

    I've found the same thing to be true. It's a blind in of itself. I felt big and bulky in it the first time... but deer, yotes, and bobcats seem to completely ignore it. And since you're inside it you can move all you want without detection. I've found I can look down into it to play on my...

    Enclosed ladder stand?

    The last ladder stand I put up was a huge pain in the a$$. I'm in my low 50's, I could see getting hurt trying to put one up. But I do love hunting from a ladder stand! Those wrap around cloth things are pretty much what Foggy invented way back in the day to hunt the dinosaurs. Probably...

    Enclosed ladder stand?

    I had thought about that. Wouldn't be very hard to build from the tree out around the stand. Would make it safer in my opinion. If the stand is supporting your weight then the walls wouldn't need to be very sturdy. I've also spent quite a bit of time thinking about a pit blind. Not much...

    Enclosed ladder stand?

    Well... I have a Heater Body Suit. Damn thing is great! If it's REALLY cold I'll use it. If it's just kind of cold I don't bother with it and sit there being cold. Foggy, I could see me making something like that as an experiment to see if a more permanent structure would be worth pursuing...

    Tristar Shotgun?

    I actually very much want a nice side-by-side. For a long time I wanted a .410 double, but now that I've gotten a 28 I'm shifting gears on my wish list. Having had a double previously that didn't have both barrels shooting the same point of impact makes me consider your NRA rating thing.

    Tristar Shotgun?

    I've read that the Mossberg SA 20 and the Tristar G2 Viper are the same gun on the inside. Made by the same factory, marketed under different brands. Don't know if it's true, but might give some insight to those looking at them now. Also found this on a forum; "The Mossberg SA-20 & the...

    Tristar Shotgun?

    Sorry man, she isn't obsolete just quite yet. I've had a couple of 15 bird streaks on doves with her. Not ready to pass her on. And if I did sell her one of my kids might through a pretty big fit.

    Tristar Shotgun?

    I don't know a whole lot about what they have to offer, or what you consider a good pheasant gun. When I was a kid I killed a lot of pheasants with a youth model 20 gauge pump, ducks and geese too. My kid's over and under has proven to be a reliable shooter. I wouldn't hesitate to take this...

    Enclosed ladder stand?

    I'm considering trying to build an enclosure around a couple of my ladder stands for late season hunts. Anyone ever do this? Tips or plans?

    Tristar Shotgun?

    It actually has a little more room than my Beretta's trigger guard. I believe the hole is about the same, but the Tristar's sets back further. Cotton painters gloves that I hunt in a lot.

    Line Hunters

    You can also learn to hunt from the ground. Maybe make a series of natural ground blinds along your south boarder. I'd caution against cutting trails then planning to use them to enter/exit your hunts. I've found most of the trails I've made are used by the deer. If you start walking the...

    Tristar Shotgun?

    My youngest and his best friend both have Tristar over and unders. My oldest has a Turkish made 870 clone. Have yet to see a reason to not trust them. Plus Tristar's headquarters is out of Kansas City. Plus, I've heard nothing but spectacular reviews for their customer service.
