Probably the most dedicated muzzle-loader hunter I know always uses round ball and real black powder. He's taken more doggone elk, bear and mule deer with that combo over about 30 years... I went with the "Great Plains" conical as it shot better from my traditional T-C White Mountain Carbine...

Vortex did well. That's the kind of customer service model that builds and reinforces brand loyalty. Cool. :) Guy

J. Y. Jones wrote a large and detailed book about hunting every North American big game species. Every species of moose, bear, elk, deer etc... I forget how many species he took and it was over quite a period of time, maybe 20 years or so I'd guess. He used one rifle, a 30-06 Remington 700. For...

Whew! Narrow escape for me. ;)

I hadn't heard or seen "williwaw" in a long time! :) Thanks for that - and the accuracy looks just peachy. Guy

The 308 responds really well to Varget and a good 165/168 grain bullet. Heck, the 308 is great with a lot of different powder & bullet combinations. Guy

Hey! Stay away from "my" H4350.... It's hard enough to come by. ;) Re the 180 Ballistic Tip, I provided 300 Win Mag ammo for a buddy to take to Africa, 180 Partitions and 180 Ballistic Tips. He and his PH were both very impressed with the quick kills from the 180 BT, and he ended up...

Accurate as all get out from my 1:10 twist 25-06, and 3200+ fps... Haven't yet shot game with them. Guy

I am impressed! Have never used a tracking dog for hunting. Did appreciate them in my law enforcement career... Guy

Thanks! This Boyds stock is smooth, but it was received with their aluminum pillar bedding and the barrel is free-floating just as ordered from Boyds. I've become quite a fan of the Boyds laminate stocks and sometimes wonder if they supply the laminate stocks found on many production rifles...

Thanks. Elected to stay home today, get some things done here, give my legs a day of rest. And I'm cooking venison stew from my last mule deer - in an act of revenge! ;) Guy

It's general deer and bear season here in Washington. I was sitting on a ridge, glassing for mule deer and had also noted bear tracks & scat nearby. A large doe, two yearlings and a young forked-horn 2x2 buck walked past me, maybe 25 yards away. I had my rifle, and a 44 mag revolver. The deer...

Good info there 'Flex. Thanks.

Yes. They shot well and performed well on deer. Guy

My son and I both agree that we wish my father, his grandpa, had been on this hunt with us. He passed a couple of years ago after a lifetime of working hard, fly fishing and bird hunting. We used two of his shotguns. :) Guy

When I was a kid, Grandpa went to the local slaughterhouse and found them using this original Colt percussion revolver to drop the animals. The guys were complaining about it being slow and difficult to reload. Grandpa asked if they'd like to trade for something more modern along with some...

I'd love to hunt SD someday. Never have. It's quite a ways from Washington. Pheasant... Great game birds! I hope you and your son get to hunt there next year! Regards, Guy

Thanks! All that rock? That's the railroad bed! These rascals were hanging out between the highway and the railroad. I sure didn't have to work much for the photos. :) Guy

My son and I took the dog and the shotguns for a walk this morning at the Cooke Canyon Hunt Club near Ellensburg Washington. We found six birds and brought down 5 of them! My son used his lightweight 28 gauge CZ double and steel 6's. I used the 1930's 12 gauge Remington 32 over & under with...

3 Meter - looks like some really nice work! Thanks for sharing that here. Guy
