I agree with Brad. I have bought and sold pistols, rifles, and shotguns on GB and have never had a problem.

Thanks again.
I'm not a fisherman, so this is all greek to me, but I gotta say, I love the colors in this Mack! Great Pic!

Not enough. YET. I live on a river that teams with Steelhead and Salmon. When I get off the road, I will be spending every available hour trying to catch them.
Thanks.
I think I can do that.

I've never been fly fishing but it looks like it would be highly addictive, great set up Protourist!
John, selling on gun broker or even listing on armslist should yield the most return on your guns.
So opening weekend of whitetail rifle season was a disaster all around. On Saturday of opening day, beside being too warm, too wet and WAYYY to windy to see deer, I managed to to do something I haven't done in probably 14 years, shoot at and miss a deer. I moved from a scoped bolt action 7mm mag that has served me well for probably 10 years to an iron sighted lever action 44 mag. Despite good target practice shooting it's safe to say the 44 and me need some more bonding time cause I missed what I felt was a give me shot on a smaller doe. It was definitely a blow to the ego and hurt even more due to the fact that I was lucky to see anything at all due to the weather conditions. Sunday of opening weekend was much worse and the winds got so bad I had to call it a day by 9 am out of safety concerns. Rub some salt in the wound, while driving down the driveway on our way out, up pop three deer.They just stand there and look at us for about 30 seconds, about 30 yards away. They were bedded down in the ravine due to the winds and we spooked them up, I think they were taunting us. I wasn't sure I would make it the next weekend so I was bummed that I might go a year without filling the freezer. Somehow I managed to talk the wife into driving up late Saturday night of the second weekend so she could relax and do her crafts in the house while I hunted all day Sunday. I decide to go back to the old trusted 7mm mag so I wouldn't have any repeats of the weekend before. Got into the stand around 6:30 and it was freezing!! Somewhere around 20 degrees with no wind, the woods and grass fields were a frosted wonderland when the sun popped up. I had a feeling that it was going to be a good day. Just before 8:00, a Buck and doe came charging in my area. He was chasing her and she was playing hard to get. I grunted and that got them to stop cold in their tracts. He lined me up a perfect shot and I dropped him at about 50 yards. The doe started to bolt and I grunted, she slowed her trot and I ended up getting a shot on her about 100 yards downing her as well. Had to butcher them up in the cold but it was worth it! I got 10 lbs of back strap from the buck alone! Anyone else have any success this deer season?
Couple of pics of the deer, I'm going to do a skull mount of the Buck.

I'm not able to spend as much time as I thought I'd be able to on here. Life keeps intruding for some reason.
It's cold here on the gulf coast. I must have put a forest through my living room fireplace in the last week, not to mention all the gas through my conventional home heating. I know.. I'm in the south, and it isn't as cold as north of me.. but I'm from Hawai'i.. and anything less than 60F is cold to me. Heck, it's been below 30F at night for the last few days.
In other news.. I'm now proactively involved in the well-being (or lack thereof) of our beloved Republic. That there red pill is a ballbuster from hell. Praying that my children won't have to endure what is most likely coming in our future, but at the same time, ensuring that they are well-equipped and skilled to endure it.
Got my Technicians class amateur radio license in October.. then got my General class a week later. Now working on my Extra class license.. and attempting to save up my ducats for decent gear. Not really succeeding on that front, as I have to admit to way too many interests that need financing and maintaining. None of which I'm willing to give up just yet.
Other than all of that, just learning to shift gears and guide my family towards the self-reliance goal. Hope to be 100% as soon as possible. Still debating on where my family's final location will be at. It's a toss up between Montana, Idaho, and New Hampshire I guess. We shall see.
Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving day; be safe, check six.. God bless you all.

Likewise! Hope your day is going awesomely!
After much research and delving, these states are the three with the relatively least intrusive local governments, least likely to be influenced by our overstepping Fed Gov, and populated with many like-minded individuals. Such concepts have become enormously precious to me in the last two years, and the cold temps are a welcome caveat when it comes to such things for me and the fam
Your grandson is a very blessed boy!
Killed my first deer in ages yesterday. Bro was visiting so he helped me process it, used his JK camp knife and my Randall SGTs model. Was fun.
ETA: Shot him at an angle, can see the entrance hole above the magazine in the pic, exited right above his front right shoulder, no meat was destroyed and he dropped where I shot em.

Congrats to trevytrev and machine26 on two sucessful hunts filling the freezer. machine26 were you using a 223 or another caliber in the ar? I ask because I was thinking of one for my kids to start deer hunting with- low/no recoil & adj. stock sounds good at least in theory. Of course shoot placement and bullet selection are key. I'm looking forward to getting the muzzleloader out in a couple weeks. Plan on putting some traps back out this week, hopefully catch a few coyotes on a friends farm.
