Cheyenne, I tried to contact you in a different way but continued to get disconnected, so will tell you here. Our family agrees with the above statements by Hodgeman We have experience, with all three of the rifles you mentioned and the BHA wins, in our opinion, hands down!!!! my uncle has...

April, that will be a very nice Christmas gift for your granddaughter A second comment or question to everyone, is it struck me when I read this, that the VX6 will cost as much as the rifle. And it made me wonder, if most of you think about this before you buy a rifle. " the cost of the...

that is still true April. more than one Bear, Deer, Caribou, Wolf can be taken each year. And there are still some no closed season's in some area's and for some game. some area's allow 20 Caribou a year ( 5 per day ) Some areas allow 10/20 Wolf's a day, if you can find them. But time, money...

Scotty, I stand corrected, you are right. I was thinking Elk, but after I made the post I remembered that you and my father have a friend in Colorado that hunts Elk very successfully with a 270. Thanks for the correction Brooke

It will be my pleasure to respond to your thread I have not hunted with either in Alaska, but had the opportunity too hunt with each in Texas and Arizona when we lived in Texas. I am not sure that if all your going to hunt with these rifles are deer that it makes any difference. And since you...

My uncle just told me that there is, or was, a fellow here in Alaska that hunts wolves all over the state using a 243wssm and FMJ bullets. Hopefully hodgeman or bear78 will be along to enlighten us further. Brooke

Mr Miner, thank you for your post sir. Allen, thank you for your very nice pm. My father and grandmother arranged for me to hunt mountain lions in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, when we lived in Texas. We were able to use hounds ( not ours ) on all our hunts but not always horses, but we did...

I am probably the only one here who had to look up Cape Grysbok, as I had no idea what that was. That is a little antelope! Thank you for all your comments, I will summery them and share them today. I enjoyed reading about the horse mishap, as I have had my share of horse mishaps. Goat was...

we were discussing this subject today and for me it was toss up between mountain goat and mountain lion. And for you ? Brooke

Hodgeman, you might also check with Safevision and TacticalRX. My grandmother has used them and speaks well of them. Brooke

Scotty, Dr Mike. I am almost certain that it is a 9.5 x 57 MS Carbine and I am assuming the MS stands for Mannlicher Schienauer--but I am at school and can not seem ti to get ahold of anyone to confirm this. I did remember the name of the bullet company however, it is Kynoch, whom I also have...

Jamila, this thread is unbelievable timing. My great uncle and grandmother apparently have 9.5 x 57 MS Carbine 1910 in their sights. ( I hope I have that right , since I have never heard of it ) It is supposedly in very good condition and is a "full stock" carbine 9.5 x 57 MS 1910. They have...

It looks like I am going to get a Bowtech Eva Shokey---but I don't think that helps you Charles (-; Dad said to say hello and good luck on your hunt and health, you are always in our prayers Charles Brooke

where are you setting up camp tonight, I will be there (-; I am under 21, so can not have a scotch, but if Fotis and April show up, you might want to have a bottle handy (-; BTW Hodgeman, I like this idea better than your peanut butter, honey and bacon idea (-; Fotis, I case not think of...

To your daughter : Congratulations and I am wishing you the best of luck on your first mule deer/muzzleloading hunt. I join your dad and others in hoping you are successful on your muzzleloading hunt, your elk hunt and in reaching 11-0 by the end of the season. You go girl! I am sure you...
