Exactly, that’s why when somebody says they’re seeing rut activity in SW MS without saying what area it’s useless info. :lol:

If you have a .22 pistol, shoot that a bunch until you get proper mechanics down. Recoil may be a factor. Have someone experienced watching you can help.

But seriously, it could be the sights, it could be you. I have had a few pistols over the years that I’ve had to make minor adjustments to the windage though.

How low and to the left are we talking?

What type and caliber gun are you shooting?

You forgot to account for the curvature of the earth as well as downdrafts from birds and updrafts from thermals.

:lol:

r/NFA is telling me the $50 is the ATF processing fee they charge for doing the paperwork for you.


I also did not pay any additional fees. Maybe my dealer got the silencer from them?

All I know is with multiple people on my trust, it’s a lot easier for me to use my Silencer Shop registration to submit.

I don’t blame them for not wanting to goose hunt.

Also, where are you hunting?

ETA: You also say had to run a duck hunt like it’s derogatory, do you prefer geese over ducks? If so, why?

Damn, it is a 1/2 mile from a bait spot you have to be?


I believe it’s more ambiguous than that.

quote:

What Is Baiting? Baiting is the direct or indirect placing, exposing, depositing, distributing, or scattering of salt, grain, or other feed that could lure or attract waterfowl to, on, or over any areas where hunters are attempting to take them. A baited area is any area on which salt, grain, or other feed has been placed, exposed, deposited, distributed, or scattered, if that salt, grain, or feed could serve as a lure or attraction for waterfowl. You cannot hunt waterfowl by the aid of baiting or on or over any baited area where you know or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited.
The bad thing about carrying concealed is trying out different holsters. I’ve got a drawer full of them. I always liked Galco for my leather holsters. I carried in a galco tuck and go for a long time. It conceals well because it sits low but also makes for a more difficult draw.

Crossbreed was great also but it’s a bit more of a pain to take on and off, but very comfortable.

Currently, I carry in a four brothers or C&G kydex holsters. I think kydex holsters are more expensive than they should be, but maybe they cost more to make than I think. Either way, I don’t regret buying them.

I use cheap lithiums from Amazon on my cameras that get the most action. Solar panel won’t work for me in the woods.
I tend to agree with TheBoo, but I would recommend whichever gun fits you better and feels better to you. If you have the opportunity to try shooting them first, even better.

When’s the last time you ordered?

They’re pretty transparent nowadays on ship times and in stock vs out of stock. They even email you immediately afterwards if your item isn’t in stock. Their prices are lowest dollar for a lot of things, especially if you wait for one of their coupons which they offer almost every couple of weeks. Ive found it’s one of the few places still offering discounts on stuff these days.

Also, for whoever’s interested, I’ve found Browning’s clothing to be comparable to Sitka for a fraction of the price on OP. I’ve also ordered several things from Kuiu (not on OP) and have been disappointed with everything except the attack pants and belt I’ve bought from them. I haven’t been disappointed with browning yet.

Sorry for the rant, but I think OP is great if you’re willing to have a bit of patience for certain items.

ETA: regardless, I wonder if the commission is less than what they would make if they dealt in suppressors themselves.


I was curious of this. I called my shop and asked if he had one in stock. I saw that it was in stock on SS, but when he said he could order one I had him do it because I figured he would benefit more that way. I never mentioned it being in stock on SS but should have asked how it affects them.

Also, although I don’t need it, the single shot trust option that silencer shop offers seems pretty slick. I was tempted to utilize it before all the trustees got fingerprints done. I probably would have if I wasn’t holding out for a $0 tax stamp.

My local shop just posted that they’re getting approvals back in 3 days right now.

That’s a fact.

It might be cheaper than a kiosk but they likely get more business funneled to them via the kiosk. I don’t really know, but it was easy enough for me as a customer to get it done. They’re going to get my business regardless because they’re the closest place to me.

i'll never understand why people use Silencer Shop or their kiosk. you still need an eForms account


I just realized I needed an eforms account. Thanks :lol: it’s been a minute since I’ve bought a silencer.

Either way the kiosk made it easy for everyone on my trust to get fingerprinted and set up for future purchases.
No way dude… don’t you know the fish only bite on $4 baits nowadays?
I usually don’t anymore. I hang it from the legs, once the guts fall out of the way I reach down in there and cut the vitals free and everything falls into the bucket. Not exactly the cleanest way.

I did get a little Gerber saw recently that will work nicely for cutting the sternum though.
You can catch reds and trout out of cypremort point right now without having to run far at all. I’d start there.

As mentioned, Ashland boat launch is much shorter than PAC, and there are a ton of reds around the marsh over there. Lots of duck hunting right now though so don’t go venturing off onto somebody’s lease.

Another option is Boudreaux canal boat launch on the way to cocodrie. There’s fish in Boudreaux canal, Lake Boudreaux, and surrounding marsh.

I’ve never fished PAC but you’re passing up a lot of fish to try and go catch them over there.
