Looks great. no doubt a fun project. Long

I’ve shot a small 10 pt and a doe years ago with my contender but it was off of a solid rest where I wired up 2 poplar poles, like a bench,and had a bag rest on them. It worked great but not too portable lol. I’ve tried the shooting sticks but the wiggle drives me nuts. Maybe I just need to...

Nice buck, like those darker horns. I’ve tried the SST’s also and have had on again off again results. Long

I know it will be loud, but I wear electronic muffs / hearing protection even when hunting w/ a handgun. So hopefully it will not be an issue. Good idea about attaching the pistol to the shooting sticks, I’ll have to try that out. Long

Yep J.D that’s it. One of my. Favorite pics and it isn’t even my deer lol Long

Some years back J.D posted about taking a buck, in the U.P, with his 45-70 lever. At least I think he did as my memory isn’t too good these days. I thought it would be fun but not very practical for me at the time. But you guys know how it goes, sometimes you get a sliver in your finger and...

Two years ago I was sitting in my post when I nice 6 pt popped out of the wash at 200 yds. I put the crosshairs on him and squeezed the trigger, he leaped back into the wash and I saw him go down. Waited a few minutes and went to check him out. Hmmm, he wasn’t there. Had about 12” of snow on...

Since I just retired this year I have lots more time to shoot. Wiped the dust off the Thompson Contender in 7-30 Waters. Took it to the range and shot 130 gn Sierra ssp. Off the bench groups were .465 - .731 with Reloader 15. But Sierra doesn’t make those bullets anymore and I really like...

My buddy, Northwoods, loved the 160 Accubonds out of his 7m-08. He considered it great deer medicine. I have a Sako model 75 in 7m-08. Absolutely love the rifle but run BT 120’s and Accubond 140’s out of it. Long

I think that is a great choice for your boy. He should enjoy that rifle for all of his years...along with any others you might send his way ....:<) Long

What would u recommend ? Long

If the Straits freeze you will be getting more I'm sure.. Lar

Many areas of the U.P will have few deer. The DNR says hard winters, predators and declining habitat are to blame. We have had 3 wolf attacks on dogs just across the WI border from here. People were walking their dogs "off leash" for all three. DNR says to walk them on a leash for...

My understanding is that we naturally pause between breaths and that is when I squeeze the trigger. Holding your breath will quicken your pulse I don't like to see my heart beat in my scope.

But it is a real pleasure to just take your time and put lead down range. I got kinda addicted to fishing the last couple of years, but I still love reloading and shooting. Long

As I get a bit older I find myself thinking about the "old days" a bit more. I find that I take more joy in the hunt and watching family take deer and no longer feel like I need to put the meat in the freeaer. I have my dad's 1950's Marlin lever 30-30 and was thinking of all the deer I took...

I have 2 of them. They are very particular about CCI Mini Mag ammo. I have not tried the higher end ammo so I don't know if it will work. Enjoy, they are fun pistols. Long

I've never been to a chili cook off. Would absolutely love going to one. Hope the participation increased next year. Long

Very cool. Well done. Long

Knowing nothing about the 356, is it a 200 yd rifle? Looks like a lot of fun. Long
