      Guns are really pretty harmless. But those darn bullets, that's what you have to watch out for.


      And bullets are like poison. harmless unless taken internally.

    The M16, M4, and AK have been married together into an interesting hybrid.

    It looks like the U.S. military is looking to take it's small arms into the 21st century, and oddly enough is already available to civilians.

    The Military Arms Channel (who makes great quality videos) compares two brands.

            I wouldn't want to hunt bear either way
            I did meet some hunters in Vermont last year that hunted bear with hounds. They would let the dogs tree the bear, take pictures and pull the dogs off. That I could get into.
            I also found a slingshot maker out of England who makes a slingshot you can deer hunt with. The max kill distance is 20 yards.
            I have a slingshot that I use to annoy the woodchucks and chipmunks that raid my garden. The chipmunks I try to hit in the tail, it doesn't seem to hurt them but it does scare the crap out of them

              You know, we have some really pest squirrels on the property. They actually get under our cars and chew holes in brake lines and gas lines. It's crazy. Why would a squirrel do that? I like this sling shot idea. I may try it.

              As for bears, my brother drives me crazy. He goes into the woods with a bow and arrow only and hunts bears. He loves bears. He may be sitting on a log resting and a bear will be approaching, curious. He lets the bear get very close, and then quietly says ... that's close enough bear. He swears the bear then just walks away. Just waiting for the day he doesn't make it out of the woods.

              This is the only slingshot I'd consider using on a bear

                Rodents ARE known for doing such things, but I NEVER heard of a squirrel doing that. HECK, even RATS and hamsters! Rats and hamsters HAVE hnawed wires and the like though. GO FIGURE!

                I call squirrels "tree rats", at least in mixed company
                They have a tendency here to get into the walls and start chewing on the wood around dawn. Great way to wake up in the morning
                Slingshot works pretty good on them. I use a shot that's just a little larger then a marble. I've got houses on both sides of me and across the road so the slingshot is my best option.

                It looks like a regular slingshot. What gives it it's power is the band used on it. I don't have the time today to find it(I've got to keep up with shoveling the driveway), but Jorg Sprave may have a video of it on his slingshot channel on youtube

    I bought two things ( not guns ).

    One was made out of green heart wood
    the other purple heart.

    Supposedly some of the hardest ( most expensive ) woods available with the least amount of deflection

    Actually I think the best way to describe it would be commissioned.

    The two pictures look very much like what I eventually owned.

    I need ed as close to zero deflection available, natural or ... not. I did not personally care one iota.

    THAT is when I was eventually introduced to the idea of green and purple heart wood.

    any way those stocks are beautiful, natural or man made.

      Steve ... how much trouble could you have from a frog? lol. The squirrels are just plain evil. They've chewed on our fishing rods in the shed, eaten holes and metal gas cans, dig up bulbs as fast as I can plant them, eat a ton of livestock feed, and every year, they damage our cars by chewing on wires and lines.

      Thanks. Of course the tactical stocks, the blue and green are not wood. The wooden ones are ordered for the grade of wood that a customer wants and they come unfinished. My father refinishes them and checkers them after he does all the accuracy work on the gun, or at least he did until he retired. No two are ever the same. They are built to be shot at the Camp Perry Ohio National Rifle Matches and have a high degree of accuracy. He never worked on other types of guns ... only match rifles.

        I thought we were supposed to be AFRAID of frogs! HECK, out of all the ones I listed, frogs were the ONLY NON MAMMAL! They're different from ME! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP! Just making fun, I'm not afraid of any of these creatures, nor do I have any hatred of frogs.

        Seriously though, I just watch squirrels since they look cute and it is just fun to watch. I don't have any fishing rods here. Maybe I should get another. I can understand them maybe eating bulbs, and feed. HECK, can you blame them? A quick tasty snack!?!?? And rodents(though I have NOT heard this of squirrels, they ARE related) LOVE gnawing almost anything. Don't ask me why. As for the other stuff, YIKES! Oh well, I don't have those problems.

        Okay - that's one I'd like myself.

        I used to have a little flame thrower gun - shot a flame about 16 inches wide and about 2 - 2.5 feet long. I preferred that in the wilds because I didn't ever want to have to hit an animal with a bullet to get rid of them. I toured some people up the mountain I lived by in CO once and ended up on one knee pointing my gun at a cat and screaming at people to do what I showed them to scare off a cat and I was screaming at this guy that ran from one (smart, huh - run from a predator). I almost had to shoot that cat and I much would have rather shot the moron that was running at that stage of the game. Everyone spread out and started yelling and waving their arms like they were supposed to and scared it off before I had to pull a trigger on it. I was SOOOOOOO pissed off. It was the last time I ever did a tour. Some people just don't belong off the sidewalk.

          I did the appalachian thing when i was a teen.
          I had this bear walk up on me. Holy baloney he (it) was huge
          it growled at me... I stopped moving. He growled more.

          i fell to my knees

          he got louder and came closer.

          I did everything in my power not to pee or defecate my self

          the boy scouts said tuck and roll and stop dead

          i was already stopped dead, i just did not want to be found
          later with shit in my pants.

          I don't know what happened. he just took a few sniffs and went away.

          I found out later it was not a common black bear , but a grizzly

        Suzanne, from what I understand, you need to spray some heavy perfume around the areas where you don't want the mice.

        Sorry I never kept the article about this, but some woman had the same problem after she married a man that lived on a farm. She was driving a truck and had nothing to defend herself from the mice that got inside the truck with her so she decided to spray them with perfume. When they didn't come back, she invented some kind of product with perfume (or whatever) odors on it that you can put in your garage, vehicles, etc. to keep them away. Your hardware store might have it.

        In the meantime, I'd try some cotton balls sprayed and left around the areas to see if that helps. I have no idea if there are any adverse effects on any pets you might have. Just wish I could remember more about this so-called product as we have problems with mice here as well. There's lots of forest around where I live, and all kinds of pesky animals, snakes, mice, groundhogs, raccoons, deer, rabbits, squirrels, skunks, owls, bats, coyotes and even the occasional bear that has come within about 5 miles. Then there's things like borer bees and skeeters and oh, I know you don't even want to hear about it any more.

        I might get to the hardware store tomorrow (one of the big chains) and will try to remember to ask if anyone knows about it. If so, I'll pm you.

          It's not mice that are eating the brake and gas lines on our cars. It's squirrels.
          Don't know if they have an aversion to perfume too, but they certainly don't mind brake fluid and gasoline.

Then there's things like borer bees and skeeters and oh, I know you don't even want to hear about it any more.
          We have all that too. Only the squirrels cause a problem here. I really like the slingshot idea. My brother and I used to sneak and make them when we were kids and terrorize each other with them... brings back old memories. lol.

      We are conditioned to assume a wild creature is out to get us - not usually the truth. Unfortunately most people respond in a way that makes them appear as either a threat or prey.

      Many experts say predators don't usually want to eat humans - apparently we don't taste all that good. Even sharks usually take a bite and spit us out - but that bite is enough to do us in.

      Dear April: I don't want any trouble from you.
      January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
      So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.
