Hunting and Shooting

You need to know the age of the gun. Use the serial number to research the date of manufacture. I'm not sure exactly when the mandatory steel shot laws came into effect but I know it wasn't in the 70's when I started duck hunting but it has been in effect at least 15 years. If it's older than 1990 I wouldn't. You can always ask a gunsmith or the manufacturer. I just checked. They stopped making that model in the early 70's so it's barrel is not approved for steel shot.

It can be, for two reasons.

1) Many cities and suburban areas are designated as bird sanctuaries, to prevent the killing of local species.

2) The discharge of any firearm can be a threat to others or their property, so is usually restricted to prevent negligent injuries and damage.

it means being fearless

To maintain a healthy population density for the habitat, hunting can be a very precise tool for game managers. Not only controlling a population that could over-browse the habitate but to strive for the right ratio of Bucks to Does for longterm quality reproduction. Over population equals mass die offs that could threaten the animals existance. The desired Buck to Doe ratio's would be 2 to 3 Does to 1 Buck. Ideal 1 to 1 but in the wild that is very difficult to achieve.

Coon hunters use coon hounds such as Treeing Walkers, Blueticks, Black and Tans, English Red Ticks, and Plot Hounds to track the scent of the raccoon. The dogs let out different sounds to let the handler know what is going on. 'Struck' is the term for the sound the dog makes when he has hit a track and 'treed' is the sound the dog makes when he has treed the raccoon. Every dog makes a different sound, some bawl.

Ruger is (RGR on NYSE) Smith and Wesson (SWHC on NASDAQ) Taurus, which I think is Brazilian (SAO:FJTA4) Marlin, Browning, Beretta, Glock, Colt, Mossberg, H & K, Savage, Bushmaster, Remington, Winchester, are not as far as know.

"more powerful" is kind of a realative term when it comes to firearms. I don't want to get all technical so i will keep it simple.

The 30.06 is normally considered more powerful. It has a much longer effective and accurate range. In excess of 500yards in the hands of a skilled marksman. The 30.06 has taken more north American big game than all other calibers combined.

Almost every hunters safe will contain at least one 30.06.

The 30.30 is normally a short range "brush gun" because of the style of weapon it is used in. A short barreled, quick pointing, lever action carbine. The most effective range for a 30.30 is less than 150 yards.

What exactly are you going to hunt with an air rifle would be my question. To my knowledge there is only deer and turkey season in ct, and I would love to see u take either with a pellet gun. I suppose you could get squirrels, they aren't endangered, on private property that is

583 1101 was made by High Standard for Sears 1958 to 1960 It was made in 20 /16 and 12 gauge it was offered with fixed chokes full or modified and was also available with a very good poly choke.these guns were an all new model introduced in 1957 as 583 1100 it replaced the old H&R based model 10. It was one of the best guns of its type very high quality.

2010 is predicted to be a great hunting year. Because of the low buck harvest of 2009 and the rut of 2010 the size of bucks and also the number of bucks harvested this year should be something to remember. A large number of folks in the hunting fold believe that the deer rut usually occurs during the hunters moon. The hunters moon is the 2nd full moon following the first day of fall. In 2010 That moon would fall on the 22nd of October. Now most would say that is much too soon for the rut, but research has shown that the hunters moon is a fact and that deer DO rut during this moon. As long as the deer herd is healthy and the deer are not extremely stressed. Now the best part of 2010 is that you will also have a good chance at the November full moon to hunt a 2nd phase rut. Some will believe that the cooler weather and shorter daylight hours will be the big reason for the deer to rut on this moon. Either way Im looking foword to it. There are phases of the rut such as seeking, chasing, ect. So when it all boils down to it I believe that the best time to be in the woods hunting the rut in 2010 is October 18th-24 and also November 15th-24th. Good luck

It depends on how many days the hunting course is. Some are 2-3 days and are about 8 hours each day

That, my good sir would be called a "fish-point"

No, you do not want to shoot Black Cloud Ammunition through a wad constricting choke tube. With any factory choke you will be fine, otherwise companys like Patternmaster Choke Tubes make a choke specially for Black Cloud.

the rifle was chambered in 308, 243,358,284 and the carbine in 308,243 and 284. Several 88s have been re chambered for other cartridges and some possibly re barreled. If you are interested in buying an 88, or selling, please contact me... iflya310@yahoo.com

1. 1911

2. In reality, that is an unanswerable question. Everyone has a different opinion based on different beliefs and criteria.

3. What is meant by "best" is undefined.

However:

The most expensive production handguns are currently made by Korth in Germany. They make less than 500 units per year.

The most popular handguns in the world are made by Beretta, Glock and Sig Sauer.

The handguns most given out as prizes by US Special Forces and Green Berets for winning internal contests are usually Colt 1911 45 ACP variations, Colts being the most valued and 45 ACP being considered the most desirable caliber.

The police in the USA mostly use caliber .40 SW.

Police in most other countries use the 9 mm Luger cartridge (9X21 mm).

The most collectible older handguns were made by Colts Manufacturing Company, although that is debatable. But if price is an indicator, older Colts realize the highest prices

For self defense what police and federal agencies choose is probably the overall "best".

So we see that "Best" is rather hard to define.

As for historical best handgun, it does depend on the time it was made.

When the 10 shot savage .380 and .32ACP pistols came out they were held in high esteem by those used 6 shot single action revolvers.

As for all time favorites, some say the Colts 1911, some say the Browning High Power, some choose variations of the Sig Sauer or Glock.

Also little known, the broom handle Mauser caliber .30 has amazing handling and pointing characteristics.

In its time (1860s -1870s), the Colt Navy .36 ball revolver was a sensation.

Of derringers, High Standard .22 magnum comes to mind.

It goes on and on....

One minor correction, 9mm Luger is 9x19mm. 9x21 is 9IMI

A whole lot . ther are a dozen or so manufacturesand each one has several lines . pistols use one kind shotguns another and rifles use another kind. yes you can inner mix them but you had better know what you are doing or you ma make your gun blow up

The sia rut normally starts in Ireland around the first week of October. Stags will shows early activity of rutting in September but the peak never starts until the last full moon of sept. goes back

when it cold and snowing the deer start moving and the rut is in full swing

While there are several techniques used by gun makers, the original method was to start with a smooth bore barrel. A long screw with a single cutting tooth was inserted in the barrel, and pushed down, turning as it went. This would scratch a spiral line on the inside of the barrel. Raise the cutter a notch, repeat. Eventually, the scratch becomes a groove cut into the metal. Rotate the screw, repeat for the next groove. Some barrels had 2 grooves, some 4,5,6, etc.

Try many different brands and use the one you shoot the best. Remember, bowhunting is a close in activity...so make sure before you shoot at anything you are sure of your target and its within your range.

if your are shooting buck shot i think either should work fine however if you are shooting slugs choke tubes are not recommended and you shout get a slug barrel which does no accept choke tubes and has no threads

You need to contact Michigan hunters for that information. Start at the gun shops and ask around.

if you need a rifle for all purposes, needs to be useful in all roles, is durable and dependalbe, lightweight, easy to use then nothing better than the AR-15 - its the civilian version of the M-16 - for vesatility i like the carbine version with shorter barrel and folding buttstock as its small and ultra light weight when set up correctly its very accurate, extrememly dependable and rugged, can be used to hunt any size game - the rounds for it are small and light weight and easy to reload - when taken care of it is highly rust resistant - it comes apart fast and easy, is easy to clean and parts are easy to replace lots of custom options and accessories are available - lots of sight and scope options are available and easy to change out in seconds - mine has special standard sights with a tip off scope mount that has 3 interchangeable scopes (optical red dot, 9x and a nightscope) - by doing my own reloading i can load any type of round needed and there are many ammo options for the 223 caliber that work in the AR-15 in an emergancy it takes about 15 to 30 minutes to hand make the parts to turn it full auto - but dont do it unless your life depends on it as its illegal
