I got to fish that like the weekend it opened the first time. Let me tell you, that was the best fishing of my life. Slept in the truck in line to make sure we got in. Caught 75+ fish, most 2-3 lbs with a few 5-7 lb-ers.
It was tough to see the lake turn to a wasteland within a few years.
Haven’t been in a long time but I’ve also heard it’s feast or famine now.

My pawpaw used to sing this one to me to rock me to sleep when I was a toddler. Not many memories from under 4 years old but that one is entrenched deep and will stay with me the rest of my life.

:lol: that got me

Dentist here— it’s pretty uncommon that a self-paid plan is worth it. You typically either get a cheap plan that doesn’t cover much or an expensive plan that you’ll rarely get full value from.
Most of the time you’re best off to self pay.
Many offices will give an in house membership plan, or if you have a bigger cost treatment, a percentage cash discount when paid in full.

The poster earlier in the thread may have had boys that age. Mine are young… a few years away from starting to shoot still. I’d just like to get the gun before long (bc I like buying guns way too much) and hunt with it until they’re ready to join in.

Not to hijack this thread, but I’m looking for a similar solution. I’ve pretty much narrowed it down to AR in either 300 blk or 6.5 Grendel. Here’s what I’m looking for:
Deer hunting at 120 yards max, with almost all shots under 70 yards.
Small frame gun with adjustable LOP for my son to learn on but also can fit me. Shortish barrel, easy to move around in box stand or my stands where deer are very close and I want limited movement getting the gun up.
Shoot a suppressor, not subsonic, but just to save the ears and make it more pleasant while my son learns to shoot.

I think both cartridges have enough power, but 6.5 is more power but doesn’t seem to add much recoil. It does add a few inches to the barrel though.

Thoughts?

I was on a flight about 40 minutes out from landing at DCA and we got turned around to go back to BNA. Literally a “could have been me” moment.

I was two lanes down from a guy shooting a 300 PRC with a muzzle brake on. This range also has a low tin roof that traps all the sound. I had to wait the guy out before I started shooting. It felt like it could alter the beat of my heart when that thing went off. Never felt a concussion like that before.

We had Spartan for a couple years but kept having trouble. Now we’re using Reveal Tacticams and they’ve been great

My dad was in our deer camp in Dawson springs directly in its sights. I got in touch with him about 30 min before impact and then the cell towers went dark. Didn’t hear from him until noon the next day. He got in his truck and drove to try to get out of the path. The tornado did a slight jog to the south and missed our camp by about a half mile.
That was a long night sitting helplessly waiting to hear from everyone. If you look on Google earth you can see the scar on satellite from where the trees are all blown down.

We got hit again by another monster one this spring. No one was there. This time it jogged slightly north of the camp and clipped the northern edge of our property. There’s about a half mile wide stretch where the ridges look like a WW1 battlefield… nothing above ground level survived.
