Re: Pegleg's Lost Mine

And now maybe you can understand why some have doubts about the LDM. So many lookers, so little to show. But I am glad so many continue to look for the LDM, leaving many other gold bearing areas unsearched, while they look for the *LDM* :lol:

Re: Real Or Fake?

Goldseeker I would question your choice of firearm for it's stated purpose, but I understand where Mel's coming from. I can understand the interest in having knock-down power, and perhaps a larger caliber would be desirable, but the weapon you're interested in has only (5) rounds. Are you absolutel...

Re: Real Or Fake?

[quote="reptilist"] http://thezaz.nationallampoon.com/files/2009/08/16-yosemite-sam-mustach.jpg Goldilocks, is that you? I believe your conversation with the cop verifies this correlation: the bigger the gun the bigger the fear. There is no sense in choosing a .454 Casull...Or even a .44 m...

Re: Real Or Fake?

Back in my youthful days when I did hunt, came from a hunting family in Pennsylvania, and hunted the entire US, I shot my large mountain lion with a .22, they are quite easy prey.

Re: Real Or Fake?

Your choice of calibers is overkill. From what I learned back in my hunting days, they are not that hard to kill. .357 Mag. on the hip is sufficient. Pistol gripped shotgun on a sling would be better...Easier to hit a moving target with a 12 gauge. These days I just carry a can of bear spray. Your ...

Re: Real Or Fake?

AS I have posted on here before, my biggest fear when out in the desert is mountain lions. Other posters have challenged that belief. My suggestion to them: YOU go out there unarmed I will go armed In fact I had a talk about this very subject with my policeman friend from Long Beach (PITD knows who...

Re: Real Or Fake?

So what is going on with all these encounters with Mountain Lions? I guess as more and more people encroach on their habitat there's bound to be meetings such as those in the stories below. People have been hunting out in the country forever, but it seems as if recently the Lions have become more b...
