re: Retay Shotguns

I actually had a phenomenal customer service experience with them. My masai mara was not properly cycling 7 1/2s during dove season. Called them up, they had a prepaid box at my house two days later. Dropped it at UPS and the very next day, I got a call from an absolute baw who knew exactly what ...
You have at least two absolute STUD Axis bucks. Holy cow! Wall hangers for sure!...
Sure, I do this plenty every year. I have found that the TSA agents and airline staff are better versed in the current rules and regs at smaller airports than at major hubs. The TSA agents and airline staff the airport in Aberdeen are practically gunsmiths. The TSA agents and airline staff at LaGuar...
[quote]The golf course is far enough away from the river that the river should not be a problem. If it were closer to River Rd. like some have suggested you run the risk of having all earthwork activities shut down during the spring months due to river levels.[/quote] Gotcha. I guess I didn't rea...
Legit question for all of you construction minded baws around here, because I honestly don't know: How hard is it to build something like this at the site of the golf course? With the proximity to the river and all the stuff we hear about with the sand boils and unstable soil, would this be a dif...

[quote]One thing I did learn is while tipping is great, these workers and bird boys also like merchandise. The way it was explained to me was that it doesn't matter if you tip $100 a day there's nowhere for them to go purchase things like an academy.. On the last day I gave my bird boy my noise canc...
The threat is not new, but the current status of the capability appears to be about a week old. Setting aside the near mandatory comments about Dems vs. Republicans here, making the intelligence material available to all of congress is just about the fastest way imaginable for the information to ...

I just got a pair of their waders and really like them. Ive been using them for gear for a long time and I think they're a really good company. ...
This isn't a criticism, I'm genuinely curious. Is the goal with Coons to make them taste like the sauce that they're cooked in? Maybe a better question is does it taste any different than BBQ pulled pork after these steps? ...
Glad to hear it! You've got a fighter for sure! If any of yall are into The Meateater Podcast, on Episode 293 Ryan Callahan tells the story about when his dog Snort got popped on the ear by a rattler and they were like 5 hours from the nearest vet. He was legit considering cutting off the dogs e...
Literally a decade ago, there was a thread on the OB called "Outdoor Confessions 2013". People were sharing stories that they weren't proud of and general positions on outdoor activities that are not popular. A full decade later, I still remember a post by Dissident Agressor who said that he on...
I got popped by a juvenile copperhead when I was a kid and did 4 days in the hospital. Clinched up my toes when I stepped on him so his head kinda got stuck between my toes and he musta got all of his venom in me. Foot was massive for about two weeks. It did wonders for my 6th grade street cred t...

I have the Retay Masai Mara and I really like it. It shoots every bit as good as my SBEIII. Quick story: I loaned it to a buddy for a skeet shoot one day and it was having trouble recycling. I reached out to Retay and said that 7.5s and 8's didn't produce enough energy to fully eject the shell ...

We're in a weird spot for next summer with Pointer. A buddy put the trip together and we have 12 guys paid up for a mixed bag hunt. They are trying to lock us into this season's shell rates ($26 per box) for next summer, which is a deal breaker given that they are ramping up shell production in Arge...

[quote]All these doves you shoot, i assume they stay with the outfitter? You can't take any meat home right?[/quote] We breasted out a few of them in the field and had them as appetizers. Pretty good. The bird boys do their best to pick up as many as they can and put them into big burlap sacks. ...
I fished with a great guide a while back in Hopedale/Delacroix area (blanking on the name of his outfit, but last name was Dickson). Anyway, he kept them all and would save them up and every so often he'd fry a bunch, make poboys and drive around and hand them out to homeless folks around New Orlea...

No problem, senor. I believe we worked with a gentleman named Diego when we booked, but it was a few years ago. When I say "damn cold", I mean it was damn cold for down there. There was frost that morning and I packed for more the 45-50 degree weather. So, mid 30's made worse by taking a surpris...

Hunted Estancia La Criolla a few years ago for duck, dove and perdiz. Great duck hunting, limits on perdiz, and the dove hunting was fantastic, but not the absurdity that is Cordoba (we're talking about the difference between killing 1K a day vs. 2K or 3k per day so really splitting hairs at that p...
