Acres A house with several of them

Boyd, upon further reflection I realized that it depends on exactly what caliber of ammunition you are talking about. Most calibers will store very well in ways discussed. If your ammo is 7.62x39, however, that is a special case. I would highly recommend you box that stuff up and send all you...

Actually when I was in middle school and we had to draw names for Xmas, the far and away most popular gift for boys was ammo. Every boy in the school had a gift wrapped box of shotgun or rifle ammo on the day of the school Xmas party....

A lot of gun stuff going on here suddenly, isn't there? On thursday nights, an indoor gun range near me has "ladies night" - free gun rental, ears and eyes. All you need to buy the ammo. They told me I can bring DD there. I may either take her or get DW to take her one thursday. I got some...

For just a second there I thought you said "the ammo from my middle school..." Now that would be a cool middle school Where would one get the type of dessicants you are talking about, K0xxx? I wouldn't have thought of that, thanks.

How about all the above plus inside military ammo cans? There are also good plastic civilian boxes on the market, but a bit $$.

Yeah I don't see the point in those either. My only guess is, after a few successful lawsuits against gun manufacturers (they were successful, weren't they?) these things were added as some sort of CYA liability issue. "We provided a trigger lock! It's SKR8PN's fault if he took it off and shot...

Yes, but aren't you shooting rather light loads at trap, like #8? I was shooting slugs and 00 out of my Remington 870 exp, and it really was ringing my bell. I used to have a Remington 870 wingmaster, and a Win 1200, as well as a Mossberg at various times. I don't recall them beating me up...

Oh yeah, sorry. I did see that about you being in the military and that you are in PA earlier in this thread, only forgot.

I think Icu4dzs is giving some good common sense advice, undoubtably also from REAL experience. I am going to take a big chance, go out on a limb, and run my mouth off some more about the question here. First, a couple of caveats: I am no gun guru, I don't spend my days at the range discussing...

Oh no - no offense taken. I appreciate your taking a moment to assure me that you meant no offense as well. As to the occasional egg or chick- note the word "occasional". If some snake or other animal begins to consider my stock an all you can eat buffet, and I can't effectively exclude this...

I don't kill snakes. Call me some hippy or whatever, but it isn't that. I used to kill snakes, and killed 100s. I even bragged about it. One, and only one, did I ever use a gun on. That was a rattler I shot with a 22 when I was young drunk and stupid. Now my outlook on the world is...

One of, if not THE largest tick collection in the world is kept at a University about 30 minutes from my house. Considering the above story, we all understand the scientific importance of ticks, for medical if no other reason. Therefore, a big collection of them in little glass vials for...

If it was a tick of any size, and had dug in, you would be able to detect the head much like a little splinter type of foriegn object. If it was one of those tiny little buggers, you will have a very hard time finding it. I would recomend treating the bite site with a local antiseptic for a...

A somewhat uncomfortable subject - such makes people more likely to feel defensive I think (IMO) the original post was as much a venting as anything else, tho it should have made people ask themselves some tough questions. Where did the OP go, anyway? Boogity seems to have dropped this bomb...

Gas prices will rise. They may drop a bit now and then, but the over all trend will be up. Greedy execs and such may be making a buck off it, but they aren't really causing it. Worldwide supply isn't keeping up with demand. Exploiting other oil supplies will only be a quick temporary fix at...

Seriously, I understand most people just don't care much for them. I do very much appreciate people having a "healthy respect for them" like you. I have no patience, however, for those few out there with an unreasonable primal fear/hatred for them or any other small animal. I don't keep 'em as...

Yep

Ohhhhhh - those things. DW was looking at those in the store and I told her how DK (dear kitty) don't like that kind. Seriously, we didn't get them to avoid exactly the problem you are having. We buy it sometimes in the buckets if it is on sale and find scads of uses for the buckets, or in...

Well, maybe - but I don't know what I said that would make you think so. Doesn't everyone love a good snake-in-the-box?
