re: Dogs Interrupting Still Hunt

If they have collars I give one warning…the next time I catch them the dogs will never leave the property and I’ll leave the collars on your mailbox.

I’ve personally never had that happen, but if I had a weapon that has now done this twice I’d be getting rid of it. Safety on or off it should not discharge just dropping the magazine out. Only reason it should fire is if the trigger was pulled.
re: How to get a 2025 Silverado into Neutral when engine won’t start?
Posted by Doc Shakalu on 12/22/25 at 10:54 pm to Splackavellie
Yeah I’d assume it’s somewhat of a similar setup on these new ones just with a solenoid or something controlling the lever. We used to just count the clicks. If it was stuck in park neutral was two clicks back. It makes sense that now you need someone to tell you what gear it’s in by looking at the dash because of electronics.

There should be a lever on the side of the transmission that a cable connects to that you can manually manipulate if you pull the cable off just make sure wheels are chocked or a friend is on the brake pedal. Easy to do with the older auto transmissions but not sure on these new knob turners.

The Shoot Shovel and Shut-up method has worked well for us.

I disagree Kelly is definitely a guru at losing big games and underperforming expectations.

Just go to the local cattleman’s livestock auction and find you a couple nice lame Charolais. They will eat real nice and be cheap and then you don’t have to worry about having problems with the neighbors as others have said these situations rarely work out where one side isn’t pissed off at the other in the end. Example: some of his cows get sick…that sickness will have 100% came from your cows in his eyes.
re: Outdoor Winter Weather Boot/Shoe
Posted by Doc Shakalu on 10/5/25 at 9:43 pm to Uncle Ned
So I normally don’t drop over $1k on boots unless they are made from some exotic leather and I happen to like the pattern…mostly gators. Please educate me on these simple looking boots I must be missing something. Are they extremely warm? They say water resistant so I’m guessing my feet can still get wet? I just can’t understand the price point.

From what I’ve been told there are no green jeans running around the national forests due to the shutdown. Do with that information what you will and have fun fellas!!
re: White River Arkansas Trout Fishing Guides
Posted by Doc Shakalu on 9/29/25 at 12:34 pm to UncleDuck
Cranor’s is really good…booked with I believe Donald a few years ago to learn how to catch big browns. We went in February and it was freezing but we caught a lot of nice fish and I learned how to do it on my own after that day trip.

I’m not sure how to post pictures, but we use a setup like on our property in NW Arkansas in conjunction with a cattle guard and don’t have any issues. Hope this helps.

Benelli SBE II in 3.5” with a 28” barrel is what I shoot and I’ll never own anything else for my bird hunting. You will be very pleased!!
re: Anyone ever misplaced a gun only to find it some time later?
Posted by Doc Shakalu on 8/18/25 at 5:11 pm to AwgustaDawg
I’m hesitant to jump in the middle of this back-and-forth since it’s clear there’s some history here I don’t know about. That said, I’ll share my perspective. My brothers and I grew up around guns and had access to them at an early age. From the very beginning, our dad and grandfathers taught us that guns were tools—meant for hunting and, if necessary, self-defense. We understood that if you pulled the trigger, whatever you aimed at would die. One of the first lessons drilled into us was never to point a gun at anything you weren’t willing to kill. I had that talk with my dad when I was just three years old, and I got my first gun by the time I was five.
I think a lot of southern men raised by southern men had the same upbringing. The point is, kids who are educated about guns, gun safety, and proper use from an early age are far safer around firearms than those who aren’t. Most accidents happen when parents don’t teach their children about guns and instead place them on a sort of pedestal. Then, when a gun is left unattended, the child sees it as this mysterious, forbidden object—and that’s when tragedy can strike

re: I thought I was done buying guns
Posted by Doc Shakalu on 8/5/25 at 8:46 pm to rattlebucket
I’ve killed mostly whitetail and one black bear in Arkansas with my Winchester .44 I inherited from my grandfather and none of them ever took another step after I shot them just using regular old ammo he had in his gun case. Not sure about stopping a grizzly but I’ve been very impressed with that little carbine’s stopping power.
re: How many rod&reels have you lost overboard?
Posted by Doc Shakalu on 7/28/25 at 4:54 pm to KemoSabe65
One…I was 13 fishing in the harbor in Pascagoula, MS. Had an under the table job as a dish washer and a local bar and grill close enough to the house I could ride my bike to. Saved up my money over the summer and bought my first Abu Garcia Ambassador, rode my bike to harbor and tossed out a line. Had it leaning on the piling while helping my little brother with the cast net and when I looked back up it was gone. I waded around in the water for about an hour and when I was walking back in I stepped on a line pulled it up and it was connected to my rod. Got back on the dock and reeled in about a 3 lb hardhead but boy I was proud of that fish!!
