    Public Land Fall Longbeard/Tom Hunting Tips & Advice

    Thanks for the input. It's going to be a challenge but I am looking forward to it and looking forward to having a great season in general. I've already picked out some oak abundant land to target so we'll see what the results are!

    That's unfortunate. They are missing out on a great opportunity to own some of the finest hand-fitted bespoke rifles and shotguns in the world. These pieces do get imported here into the US but the importers hike the prices 200% - 300%.

    In the United States that rifle would be at least double if not triple the price you saw it at.

    Public Land Fall Longbeard/Tom Hunting Tips & Advice

    All great advice here. For at least the early season, I won't be taking the "bust up" and kee-kee approach and will try to hunt mature birds more like big game using slow lazy gobbler yelps sparsely. I need to get out and scout prior to opening day. The vegetation is thick, weather is hot, so...

    What country is popular with Hunting and fishing?

    Haven't done any hunting in these destinations myself and based on your name it seems you may be from Belgium or France. Spain, Canada, and Scotland would be the best fit from a diverse species opportunity perspective and as a cultural match for you.

    I wonder if I can do that on my Lynch World Champion box call.

    Public Land Fall Longbeard/Tom Hunting Tips & Advice

    It's shotgun here only. I don't have a 16ga, only 10, 12 and .410. I'll probably carry the 10 for the love of it and then switch to a 12 single shot when I need something lighter. Got it on the mast, look for islands of it, if it's everywhere, they'll be scattered. I assume the edges of...

    Public Land Fall Longbeard/Tom Hunting Tips & Advice

    I am looking for some advice from experienced hunters on this forum on how to hunt longbeards in the fall on public land east of the Mississippi river. I have heard this is an especially difficult hunt. I'd like to use this as an educational experience to build a solid woodsmanship foundation...

    Was looking at a few for myself so thought I'd drop this one in. Looks to be a solid option:

    Thread Deleted

    I decided to voluntarily delete a recent thread that I had posted (No, nobody PM'd me or asked me to delete it if you are wondering). Upon further reflection, it struck me that the content of the thread was highly counterproductive not just in terms of its content but also in terms of it being a...

    QL 8X57 Mauser

    I'm speechless. These are numbers similar to or approaching factory loadings for some of the 300 magnums. But it's being achieved with almost half the powder out of an intermediate length, unbelted, and underbore cartridge with drastically superior barrel life and one that was designed to be...

    this seasons hunting plans

    Ahhh. So just like here in Wisconsin. Our northern forest unit is also less densely populated with deer so they limit many of the areas to a buck only permit. Central and southern farmland zones though are packed with deer and you'll often get a doe permit or multiple when you purchase your...

    Hey! Good luck! Nice accurate loads there. Make sure you shoot a big fat one!

    Where, how, what, when, why? Is it a concession? Free range or high fence?
