Dropped my first buck, a 12 point, with a clean shot through the neck with my 357 Magnum.
Wow, I'm impressed. Young people tend to do much better with long guns when they first start shooting.
Oh, but you didn't say that you were a young person when you shot that buck, did you. Sorry, my assumption.

...I used to shoot rats in the barn many moons ago.
We used to shoot dump rats, squirrels, 'possum, snakes, skunks and the occasional stray dog.
I still stay in practice for just that. I don't care much for varmints.

Good luck at the shoot.
Don't need any. It's a friendly shoot, not a competitive one. I've shot more pistols that belong to other people than I have my own.
I'm a cheapskate on ammo. I can't afford to shoot off to much hand ammo so the other folks are nice enough to let me shoot their handguns.

I had vowed to get my permit (license) this year and need to get moving on that.
For deer? It's a little late for that as the deer season is closed.

You've got plenty of time till next season.

Do me a favor if you see Debra...
Debra Medina Interview‏ - Candidate for Texas Governor
People are social beings, we crave belonging to a group.
Maybe in her world, but not in mine, so tell her not to speak for me as I'm more than capable of doing that for myself. I even keep the people I like at arm's length, and there are folks on this very thread who can attest to that.
And then there's this...
Texas Republicans must recognize that there are many areas where we share common ground with Hispanics. We must purposefully and genuinely reach out to this group (and to other groups) where there is a high likelihood of shared value. (Hispanics, not Tejanos...big difference to those in the know)
Snip...There is no room for compromise of values and ideals...
Yet your very own words show that you're going to do just that.
We must teach and we must engage...or Hispanics will continue to block vote straight ticket democrat...and in just a few years when that voting block alone comprises in excess of 50% of our population, conservatives will be forever a bygone relic in the Texas public square.
Sorry, but I for one can read between the lines and what I read is that you're willing to cave in (we must engage) for votes.

I don't like you, I sure as hell don't like Hutchinson and so I'm stuck with Perry. Sorry.

Let's hear it again in your own words...
Until and unless, Republican leadership is willing to make a concerted effort to address these issues and others that are uppermost in the minds of the Latino community in this state, we are likely to see that block vote continue straight ticket Democrat.
You're pandering to a subset of Citizens and I can't stomach that.

Well, Phil, I was referring to taking a course for license to carry a hand gun, not a hunting license. I’m not comfortable nor very good with a hand gun so the class is a good idea anyway.

I’m pretty good with my Weatherby on deer using the scope and not bad with a 12-gauge on quail and whitewing. Oh yeah, I like my 4-10 for snakes and turtles. Course, now I live in the city and the only reason I have for a gun is protection, but can’t seem to let go of my collection and all the memories. My late husband hunted everything from elk to dove and those were the good ol’ days.

Oh, btw, Debra Medina was on Freedom Watch yesterday with Judge Napolitano. Go here to watch it:
