First shot: Daisy 1894 BB Gun Marlin 22 Bolt - still in safe (1974) H&R 410 shotgun Rifle ……?? Might be a REM 700 7Mag ( my first center fire rifle)

Oh boy ….. Nov 1980, REM 700 7Mag. Whitetail doe in WI. Opening morning one and done as 3 does trotted by.

Congrats to her! A first elk and I’ll bet it came out whole on the farm. Good for her.

If you hunt elk and are “old”, you tend to look at deer as being fragile by comparison. That being said deer still need a proper hit but after that it’s bang flop if muzzle loader / bigger bore lower velocity center fire up to that short dash with everything else. Now there is a big...

When I look at my bullet shelf, I have PTs for every caliber that I load for. I like to try different bullets but I end up back at a PT or AB/BT on most everything I shoot.

Growing up in Northern MN in the ‘60s/‘70s all I remember seeing was Evinrude and Johnson 9.9hp. The bigger boats ran Mercury / Mariner. Fast forward to the 80s to present. I’ve owned all Yamaha's but for one mercury kicker. Running a 115 Yam SHO on a little alum bass boat now. Going to...

This has been a good read. I have a Venom Red Dot on a Glock 40 I use as a hunting weapon. A similar setup in a 9mm for practice. It is only used off a stick or rail for precise shooting. I still need more practice……

I’m already there with two of them……

I too shot Skeet. Closer to actual hunting birds. Loved the windy days. Unfortunately our club was shutdown. Closest skeet field is100+ miles away. Was spoiled having it in our home town. Shot twice a week if not more.

Yes I am ! Not to side track the thread - but a marriage is a "Long term Commitment to your Partner" You get out of it what you put into it.

I know I’m a little late to the party… My wife just purchased for my B Day a Marlin 1894 SS 44 Mag. I’ve been wanting one for years. I’ll be cleaning and shooting it today. Plan on reloading for this rifle. I’ve got some homework to do first. Also in the safe is- Savage 99 in a 300 Sav...

We have on occasion have moose in our backyard but I have not captured a pic with the doorbell yet ! Now that’s awesome!

In my 28N I’m going to use the 175 PT. We have on occasion shot cow elk at less then 50 yds while in the timber and brush. Usually more controlled then that and catch them coming out of the timber where either would work just fine.
