Just so none of my friends on here get confused and think I am in paradise...... A: Soldiers are no longer allowed to bring firearms here. B: Buying firearms here is an expensive nightmare. C: The rabbits here are EVERYWHERE and 5 lbs. bigger than the biggest Jackrabbit you have ever seen. Yes its h...

Just my $.02 but read this article by Clay Spencer one of the top gunsmiths and shooters in the country. Its a little long winded for what your looking for but he talks about neck sizing. http://www.precisionshooting.com/psm_2006_10_issue.html

Take it easy and good shooting!

Well Rick, I know you are trying to cure your sage rat addiction but getting laid up in the hospital is a little extreme don't you think? I am sure your time off has done the population some good though. Funny how surgery was timed while they were napping for the winter, coincidence? I think not. An...

Thanks Guys, Hope to get out and do some traveling when the weather warms up. It has been in the teens lately. Getting settled has been a real pain but will be over soon I hope. Hey Rick, did you ever try calling from that rock pile way out past where the road drops over that long cliff of lava rock...

Hey Guys, To all my friends on here that have been tracking me, I made it back from Iraq and had a very busy leave getting ready to move. Only got out a couple if times to do some calling with no takers. Had a couple dogs answer but I think weather was to lousy for them. We managed to get movers and...

Merry Christmas to everyone here at home and abroad.

My family is especially happy to have Daddy home this year.

Next Christmas I will send some pictures from Germany to all my friends here who chase the varmints for me while I am away.

Another bust this morning. Never saw one ounce of sign up in the snow. We got into about a foot before moving down lower to try finding some below the snow line. Me and the boy had lots of fun though and made a few stands before I got called away. I had to drive to Newberg and got caught in the snow...

Wish me luck guys. I am takin the boy out tomorrow for a bit before we gotta get hot and heavy on moving to germany.

Has anyone had any luck here on the west side? Gonna be in southern Lane county.

Later,

Thanks everyone. I hope the weather has been kind to ya'all lately. I got out after our first snow and never saw a thing, not even any sign. Germany will be ok I guess except for no yote hunting. I much prefer going to afghan. where the enemy will stand a face you a little more than in Iraq. Iraq ha...

Hey everyone! Made it home finally. Now the wife and I are jumping through hoops trying to get ready for holidays and at the same time pack up and get movers to pack our stuff. We are headed to Germany for 3 years where I will be assigned to 173rd ABN and I will be deploying to Afghanistan in Octobe...

Well, Happy Memorial Day folks! Things got wild here for a bit then we got it settled down again. Always something new here in the big sand box! Thought I would enclose a picture of me on the left and two of my teammates after five days of fighting. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk33/Oldschool4...

Hey Rick thanks for the tribute. I am counting the days and watching my Randy Andersen vidoes till I get home. Ruger, Old Sadr has ended his cease fire but things have not gotten bad yet. The problem is there are several Small Groups out there of his folks that broke away and never committed to the ...

Hi everyone, Well things are changing again. My team and my Iraqi battalion are moving to a new area. Can't say where yet, will let everyone know after we get there. It is a little bit rougher area than where we are now but no worries. The Iraqi battalion has fought there before and should have no p...

Thanks pwking and everybody, Just a quick update before I go on patrol. Things are going pretty well with the Iraqi Battalion my team is training. We are starting a non-commissioned officer course next week. This will be tailored toward developing training and leadership skills as well as teaching s...
