I’ve never hunted with a bow, but I would like to. I can’t wait for shotgun season this year. Couldnt get out last year because of work. This year I am going camping down in the Alfred area for opening day. Never hunted down there before…I are excited!

lol I have been hunting since I was 12. I live in the country…I was raised around firearms. Fret not, I am an avid supporter of firearm safety. There is no such thing as an “accidental” shooting.

Oh i know all about that, but i cant use it for hunting.  
I have:

1943 M-1 garand  
1940 Kar. 98 mauser  
1916 Springfield 1903  
1943 Springfield 1903A3 (remington WWII contract)  
1898 Krag Carbine (spanish american war)  
1942 German P-08 Luger  
1863 Model 1861 Springfield (from the Civil War, suposedly still safe to shoot according to a gunsmith, but i wouldnt want to)

On my wish list is…

US 1917 Enfield  
British Enfield MKIII 1917 vintage or earlier

I love old school military stuff
