Right, Willie, I certainly noticed that charge. i was just wondering if a Bear's consciousness associates the pain from a wound with people that it sees, or perhaps it takes umbrage and wants to attack without making a connection.

Is a wounded Bear more likely to charge it's attacker than run away if it has the strength?

I guess it wouldn't be legit to say that you took that bear with a bow.

Ray or Willie....you guys that hunt Bear.... what do you think of the activity in this vid? I know little about it, but it seems odd to me that someone would be trying to kill a bear at very close range like these guys, where they have to end up using a rifle. Why inflict additional pain on an...

This must be the vid that Dave mentions. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lui6uNPcRPA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Jim, a Walnut stock. I enjoyed it, but a whole lot of assembling, close fitting a little at a time, then breaking down. I imagine that the majority of stocks now get shaped by computerised milling machines, perhaps some hand fitting to finish off with. All done from a square lump of wood to...

I don't know how gunsmiths build stocks, whether they get partially milled blanks to begin with or not, but I built a stock for a Mannlicher rifle once, and found it to be a very tricky job to fit around all the metal parts and not leave an excess of wood. I had the original to go by that had...

A friend of mine was given a used snowmobile in exchange for some work. It was a big transporter type one used for delivering beer up at ski resorts. Two people could easily ride on it, three really. It was sure a lot of fun to take that tandem ride into the wilds and trade off driving. You...

Skippy shows up now at one grocery in town, the place owned by Walmart. Sometimes it sells out and you don't see it on the store shelf for many weeks. The local variety is crap, loaded with sugar, and sold in tiny jars like people must eat it on a cracker.

No kidding, Bud. I haven't heard of peanut butter being on the list of prohibited imports. I wouldn't expect a problem. Illegal substances are a big no no, a person would could easily get arrested here even if they didn't know who the sender was or what was in the package. Peanut butter seems...

That would work only if it was crunchy type.

I thought that parasites are adequately killed by freezing, like with fish consumed when raw after thawing. Fil must have a thing about parasites.

I think you'd be wanting a sound depression attachment on a gun if you were shooting monkeys. One bang and they would be gone for the rest of the day, perhaps for even longer. Remember, you are dealing with a higher order of intelligence within the animal kingdom, possibly even smarter than...

Cool, thanks. I'll look at the law here.

Hmmm, gonna look into it. Thanks!

You guys are really cool to offer to help me obtain a rifle. Unfortunately, the law makes it prohibitive without first going through an elaborate procedure, which in the case of a 22 would take (don't laugh) 7 years. The fools were considering locking me up because I was working on a...

Thanks, Treehouse rocks!

Ha, Ray, I didn't notice. Thanks for the nice sentiment.

Thanks. Way back when shooting a 22. It was only a single shot bolt action, but it was a lot of fun.

If I was in the market for a 22 for say varmint and target shooting, which I can't be currently because of the stupid laws, would I be wanting a bolt action or the auto type where all you do is pull the trigger? Is there variation in accuracy?
