Nice to see there are some trappers on this forum.

Thanks guys, I'll give them a call. :)

Well I don't know, things must be really good for a lot of you because "need" certainly is something I have to pay attention to these days. Gone are the days when I could just buy new rifles and cartridges to play with and discard for something else that came along. It has gotten to the point...

Well I really want to try the .257 100 grain E-tips but I can't find any. Any Canadians on here that know if their local supplier is carrying any? I will want to get two boxes minimum. Sure wish they would bring something out for my dear old .375 H&H as well.

I don't know................I have tried them all over the years and in the end I settled on the .25's as the varmint/deer/antelope combo rifle. Varmints for me are coyotes, the odd porcupine, wolves, nothing smaller. Our deer up here are big bodied and not unusual to get big bucks well over 300...

That is very true. It is impossible to calmly and rationally discuss hunting or firearms ownership with these zealots. Logic, real science and common sense do not factor into the equation with these people. While I do not understand the rabid abhorrence some of these people have towards...

LOL That happened to me this fall. I went to a stand on our ranch about 3/4 of a mile from our house for an evening sit. My wife didn't go out that night as she was messing around with putting a new program on her computer. She went to get a cup of coffee and there was a nice buck pushing a doe...

boolit.........they never go away. When I was a kid the anti's were protesting and harassing big game hunters at the Vancouver airport and all these years later they are still at it but in different ways. Dr.Mike I can't even go to the lower mainland any more. Makes me want to cry. We have...

Yes I can remember when I was a kid in Coquitlam and the bears were always in the garbage. Mind you back in those days we use to ride our horses up and camp on Burnaby mountain and Eagle ridge. Now much of that area is all city and way out the valley. Bears do wonderfully in mixed...

Doesn't help when the damned EU gets involved either and starts lobbying against grizzly hunting. Enjoy it all while you can boys because the enemy is multi-faceted and will never give up. They will keep chipping away, whether it is hunting or guns, until we are all just a bunch of androgynous...

Good luck with the hogs. :)

I agree..............I find this scope to be just about perfect. Has enough magnification for poking coyotes at 400+, but not too high on the bottom end. Glad you like the pea shooter. Dr. Mike my wife and I each have one rifle with a plastic handle.......they are the ones we use for backup...

Scotty the scope is a Leupold 4.4-14 with the 30mm tube, LR model. Dr. Mike your projections from QuickLoad are bang on. I get just under 3400 with 7828 and RL19.

Well here is the .25-.284. As I mentioned it is an FN (Belgian) mauser action with a 26 inch Douglas Premium heavy contour barrel and Timney trigger. Decent piece of wood, but you can't really tell from the pictures. The Leupold scope is mounted in Warne QD rings as I have a second scope with an...

You guys will probably be disappointed as it is built on an FN mauser action and has a wood stock. LOL I know hard to believe, must be my age. Heavy Douglas barrel. Leupold 4.5-14 LR scope. Will post some pics later as I have to go out and plow. It finally stopped snowing and the drifts over...

I'll take some pics and post them. It is very accurate.

I have been using the 100 grain TTSX and 110 Accubonds in my .25-.284 for coyotes and deer/antelope. Great accuracy with both and you can knock things over way out there. The thing I like about this particular rifle is it is one of the few where I pull the trigger and see the animal drop in the...

That is an absolutely outstanding California bighorn ram. I hunted and guided for them in southern BC years ago. Definitely looks like a 190 class ram to me. Love to hunt for a desert ram as per your photos blm389, but I think I have a better chance at winning the cash lottery than drawing one...

It is indeed a lot of work having your own place to hunt on. On the other hand it is getting to be the only way to go as time marches on and we keep breeding like rats. My wife and I have moved several times and every time it was strategic. Each move has been to a bigger ranch and to areas with...

Can't participate in that poll as I use all of those methods, depending on where and what species I am hunting. There are times I can just sit in the leather chair in the living room and wait for a whitetail, elk, moose or bear to walk out into one of our pastures or in our yard...........but...
