    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Shower without soap. Leave my hunting clothes hanging outside when possible. I put plain vanilla extract in a small Spray bottle. Spray my shoe bottoms with some. Have shot a lot of deer following my trail. Why ...I think that scent makes them curious but it was passed on to me by my dad. Got a nice Doe tonight with the 03A3.

    I've always stored my hunting duds in a big box that contains pine needles and leaves. Keep 'em in the back of the truck until ready to hit the woods. (Swapping clothes as you exit the vehicle CAN be rather chilling, though.)
    Dunno what the deer make of it, but I like the smell of pine needles, so....
    As noted above, I think the most important thing for stalkers/still hunters is to keep still most of the time! And don't stop hunting until you get back in the vehicle. Can't remember the number of times I've had deer within 50 yards of the truck on the way back from a day of seeing nothing otherwise!

    someone said breadth control is important so i made a little research and there's no way you can stop breathing. even if you chew all the leaves and ping you want.

    Funny how different animals react to scent, fox and coyote will bolt soon as they come across your trail and sometimes Ive had deer stay downwind long enough to bow shoot them. One thing is for sure any two bits of scent and or movement and your done for sure.

    A sport's wash for your clothes wash without soap wear rubber soled boots and when moving in the woods even in the cold open your coat so the heat don't build up. Sweat can give you away and it can also kill you under extreme conditions. Even breaking a sweat walking to your stand will probably make you quite chilly when you final stop and hunker down quiet. Personally I don't worry about it anymore. I live in the boonies and have deer in my yard all the time so they are used to us and our smells.

    Other than the occasional wily old buck, I think the primary trigger for deer is sight. If they scent you, they will fool around trying to determine where or what you are rather than just taking off. Stamping, snorting, walking a few steps and then jerking their heads up. They often even know you are there just not what you are until you move. They just know you aren't right.
