Thanks CC. Will do.

Thanks for the tips, CC. I was thinking about syringes, but could only think of the food injector kind, which I was pretty sure the needle would be too big to do much good at the end of the crack...

Thanks DR, but I'd like to stick with wood.

Forgot to mention, CC, that yes it is walnut.

The split is repairable, it's a matter of how good it will look and how long it will last.

Thanks...

Thanks for the tips, CC. I know this is a big game forum, but it's on a shotgun I acquired.

You mentioned epoxy, what kind? I've heard it best not to use the 5-minute stuff.

I have also...

I have a gun that I acquired some time back that has a crack in the stock extending from the butt plate, about an inch in from the toe, in about 6 or 8" inches towards the grip area. It's a wood...

I've seen where Tom Miranda stated on another archery forum that it cost about $650K total (travel, tips, taxidermy, etc). Not sure how many, if any, animals he did DIY that counted towards his SS. ...

That's fantastic, CC. Congrats. You just can't beat that - a classic firearm, a treasured family heirloom and a shooter to boot!

Yep, understood, Sawfish. The thing I kept reading about the Tuffpac, and probably true for the SKB or any other over-sized case that is dependent on additional materials for the padding, was that...

Thanks again guys. Hearing a lot about the Tuffpaks making your gun look not like a gun, any thought?

Getting short on time, I'm heading back in mid May, so gotta' get one soon.

Fish, Fink - Which SKB model do you fellows use? Looks like they have a couple the say can be used with double rifles.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

LMBO!!!! You guys are killin' me!

Best laugh I had in week, thanks!:D

I have to bring a couple of guns back from my mom's and was wondering what you guys think is the best case for airline travel? I've not used a Pelican gun case, but have used their other cases at...

Sorry not a member, but would definitely vote for her. Congrats to you both, a fine collection of animals, especially for only her 3rd season.

Am I still eligible for pie!?! ;)

I agree, the B&C record books are a pretty small subset. I would have to see data, at the state level, on all animals taken. But if the science proved it, I'd be in favor of more restrictions to...

Thanks Walt.

X2 :D

Seriously, since I am fortunate enough to live in a state that offers so many OTC opportunities, right now I just look for OTC or easier to draw opportunities that strikes me as doable for...

Sound wisdom, CC. I started a If You Could Live Anywhere thread in the General Hunting section with this kind of in mind. Interesting stuff.

They say great minds think alike, NYAMM! We're...

Ivorytip is right, depending on the snow this year lots of roads could still be closed in mid May. For Idaho, I'd recommend you come later if you can, late May first or second week of June maybe. ...

Just curious, but if your job and other obligations were such that you could live anywhere in the lower 48, with regard to hunting opportunities, which state would it be and why?

I've pondered...

I'm in!!!!

FlaN, I'll shoot you a PM. A6f

Nice! I've admired the .338-06 and the .35 Whelen from afar. I saw your post saying you had a Whelen , I'd really like to hear your thoughts on comparing the two.

Definitely will keep tabs...

Thanks for the heads up on the Native lands, I'll quiz my friend about that. I'm just looking for a good chance of success at an adult rep not a B&C animal.

BTW, how's the .338-06 coming along? ...

x2 FlaN. I live in north Idaho, and ID still allows baiting if that's of interest to you. Or hounds if you go with an outfitter (... I got no hounds, bro).

Shoot me a PM if you have any...

First off, I am not asking about your hunting spots. :D

I have a friend in Glennallen that has been after me to come up and hunt with him. I was wondering how good the opportunities are for...
