You sound like you enjoy hunting, do you have a C&R license?

That is a Class 03 federal firearms license, it costs $30 and is good for three years, it allows you to buy Curio and Relic firearms, those which are over 50 years old or are especially collectable(there is a large list of these) directly from importers at dealer cost. Then the UPS will deliver them right to your door.

Mausers,Enfields,Springfields,Mosin/Nagants at prices from $19.95 up depending on quality and quantity,generally in the 60 to 150 bracket.
I have a Finn M-39 from 1942 and a Finn Tikka from 1927 that are both tack drivers, the tikka I bought from a pawn shop for $50 , if you are interested you can link hereto find out more.

I am glad you are taking the time to teach your daughters (I believe you said) to hunt and relate to animals and the life process.

Sungirl doesn't understand that as hunters we KNOW what death means, and the majority of us do NOT take it lightly.
She wonders what we feel as we hunt, and I can't blame her if she has no history of that continuity with the past that is her and our birthright, she is a product of the liberal mindset and just cannot relate to personal responsibility.
When I am successful, and of course that is another thing she doesn't seem to grasp, we know how many times we have not been, I generally sit down with the deer and talk to it's spirit. As someone with a Buddhist bent I have learned that when a creature dies, it still can be set right on the path to rebirth , I acknowledge it's life and my responsibility for it's death, and fulfill that by taking care to use it for my survival.

Do I like splitting it open and having to reach into that still hot chest cavity to field dress it? No, but I take pride in knowing how to do it cleanly. As I have said many times before on such threads as these, man must force himself to kill, so that if the time should come when he MUST kill , there will be no hesitation.The lives of his loved ones may be at stake,the lives of your loved ones may be at stake, that is the responsibility one takes on by being armed.

Aim small, miss small.

Sorry for the rant.Didn't mean to get carried away, have made friends with a police chief and so have been getting in lots of range time, it sure helps.
