In 1983 at 12 years old, I woke up to a new Honda 110 3-wheeler in the garage.

A few weeks later I talked my dad into putting Gumbo Mudder tires on it and a deer rack. I bet I put a couple hundred thousand miles on that bike.

A Remington 870 12 gauge in 2001. It's shot 15 or so turkey and has wreaked unfathomable havoc on squirrels.

Buck 102 in 1984. On my second sheath (dogs) but that little thing has ripped more hide than Pdiddy.

Nice! I have one that my FIL left me.
I want to use it but just can't stand the thought of possibly getting it dirty.

1986 10yrs old my pawpaw bought me a rws model 36 crack barrel pellet rifle. He was so proud of that thing I really think he wanted it just as much as me.
Man did we shoot some robins with the thing.

Red Ryder bb gun. Probably not the "best", but certainly the most memorable. 35 years later I still have it and shoot it every now and then.

A Savage Model 10 in .243 my dad bought from Wal-mart in 2005. I have killed a pile of deer and hogs with that rifle, and my nephew killed his first deer with it a few weeks ago. It's still the most accurate rifle I own, despite my newer rifles being thousand dollar guns with much better scopes.

When I was 6, my godfather bought me a bb/pellet gun with a scope. The poor birds that died because of the gun.

I do not have a shite ton of money to buy, and wouldn't ask for something that is terribly expensive, but what's a great outdoor gift I can ask for or buy under 1000 bucks?

My wife is getting me a Turtlebox and I already have couple Yeti coolers so those are not options.

When I turned 13 that Xmas 1996 my grandad gave me a Remington 7600 .308...it's a pump action rifle which was all of the rage back then.

Its an absolute tank and has killed countless pigs and lots of deer.


I cant bring myself to buy a new rifle.

What are your pursuits? What’s your gear storage like? I can always use more shed shelving/tracks to hang and store stuff

I dont hunt although I have tons of guns and ammo and camo from sitka and firstlite. I already bought storage shite from storeyourboard.

I dont really have any major interests. I could use a nice pair of binos or knives ill never use. Or maybe an assault pack or a hunting pack.

Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph if the person shoots bows or rifles. So cool to know your bow and bullet speeds, trajectories, etc. so easily.
