You guys have been dang chatty already. I haven't shot any gun in years. My FIL is big into black powder. I shot his a few times. Other than those, I haven't shot a gun in over 20 years. Never really cared for it. I've got enough hobbies that I already can't pay for.
Hey Michael! You're missing out, but it is an expensive hobby to be sure! I can justify it as I don't spend much money in other parts of my life. Shooting is my main money dump.

Finals week has a different conotation for me now that I work for MSU. That just means I need to get ready because it's about to get busy.

I have a 30-30 winchester that I shot about a month ago, first time in 10-12 years. Shot a porcupine out of a tree. Good sniper shot. One shot one kill. Replaced it's brain with daylight

Beat the tornadoes and got it home. But barely, it was getting nasty looking out there.

As for box, I think the plan is a Ford box, then some sort of tool box in front. It's got room for a 10' box. Got a bunch of planning to do now.

It wasn't very big but when 3/4 of its head is missing, they don't tend to do much after that

I did see that picture. Parking lots should be fun. Dave will get his exercise walking from the back of the lots. LOL
