Show us your Guns!
Goose hunting is a lot of fun with a nice sxs, when we hunt the fields I use a Spanish made 12GA and I find it makes the experience a little nicer. I stick with a 870 in the sloughs and on the lakes, no sense in tempting fate. It's too bad that the shooting seems a little tough to access, up...- J.A. Daub

Show us your Guns!
Use the Parker!!!! Steel shot be damned, there are a few alternatives to steel that are perfectly legal to use AND safe in your gun. Look for Kent Tungsten Matrix, it is tungsten powder suspended in polymer and is identical to lead. Bismuth shot is another way to go. As for the post about...- J.A. Daub

Happy Drunk/Mean Drunk
Both, actually I find that I am for the most part a happy drunk, I don't drink to excess very often, I've been falling down drunk maybe once in the last 5 years. I do find that a quick 2 or 3 in the first hour or so and 1 an hour after that keeps me out of trouble. I tend to listen a lot...- J.A. Daub

What do you use to shave?
Straight's the way I use a Dovo Bergischer Lowe straight with Trufitt & Hill West Indian Limes cream and follow up with an alum block and rose water. If I'm in a hurry I use the T&H preshave oil. I've been using this thing for about two months now and I will never ever go back to one of those...- J.A. Daub

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
Express Rifles - not quite as $$$ I've also heard that the Pedersoli isn't quite all that. If you are willing to sacrifice a bit (well maybe a lot) these rifles aren't out of reach. Right now Champlin Arms has a Kreighoff .470NE in the Classic for sale at under ten thousand, well only a hundred...- J.A. Daub

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
