I am friends with a couple of older "retired" hunters who dont get out any more. They get a lot of venison and ducks. I work with a guy that absolutely loves geese. He puts in his order every year!
For early doe season I will be using my TC Omega in .45. Nikon 3-9x40 scope. It shoots 200gr Hornady SST very well with 110gr of 777 3f.
For regular rifle season Im gonna use my .308 BLR Mossyoak/Stainless with Leupold 2.5-8x36 shooting 150gr hornady SST. Also going to bring my new Win M70...
Yeah, went to Island Lake. Its 10 minutes from my front door. Didnt figure it would be that crowded this far til November 15th.
I was wrong.
Hadnt shot rifles there on a Sunday in awhile. Forgot what it was like. I usually go there on a Thursday at 11am and its nice.
Finally had a day off that wasnt windy, stormy, 100 degrees, or filled with demands from the better half. I had purchased a Win M70 Extreme Weather in 7wsm awile back and topped it with a Minox 3-15x42 XR-BDC. I also had negotiated a heck of a deal on some Federal Premium ammo in both the...
Went and picked it up today!
This thing is slick!
I had tossed around different ideas for a scope and finally decided that I was gonna step out of my Leupold comfort zone. I ended up buying a Minox ZA-5 3-15x42 with the XR-BDC reticle. Been hearing a ton of good things about these and...
I have a BLR in .308. When I bought it, I also bought six boxes of the 150 gr Hornady SST load. Standard, not superformance. The thing groups 1.25. Not bad for a lever. I was at a gun show and saw some 150gr SST but in the superformance. Was a very resonable price so I bought a box to try...
Dr Mike-
Yeah it was a win!
When it comes to haggling, I gotta tell you that I have no skill or patience for it. If you added up my record it would probably be will under .500!
Had the day off which is always dangerous. Went to the local gunshop to trade a shotgun in on a rifle. They gave me what I had into the shotgun so I put that towards a new Winchester M70 Extreme Weather. They didnt have the 7mm wsm in stock so they had to order it, the distributor actually...
I had a tag for our first season here in Michigan. My tag was good from April 23-29. For those in Michigan it was for area K, north central Michigan. The weather didn't look promising but the last time that I had back to back days off were New Years Eve and New Years Day, so I really didnt...
Ive been looking for a smaller CCW handgun for sometime now as my everyday carry gun is typically a full size Sig in .357sig. I typically carry IWB and its never been a concern but always wanted a smaller option such as pocket carry.
Every day carry
I was in a gunshop the other day and they...
I was always a bolt gun guy, preferably belted mags, 300 winchesters, 7mm STWs etc, but ever since I bought my BLR 308, its been my goto Michigan deer killer. Strange how those other rifles are heavier now that im 38 and not 24.
Michigan for turkey, deer, grouse, woodcock etc... Indiana for doves. Applying for NDak muley tag again. Trying to talk a buddy into going to TX to kill something exotic.
I bought one 3 years ago. I really wanted a light handy option different than all of my heavy belted mag bolt guns, without sacrificing accuracy. I found a gun shop not too far away that had some of the mossy oak/stainless SHOT show versions. I got a .308 although I was torn between that and a...
I recently spent 4 days of firearm deer season in Lake County, MI. My dad has a cabin on a private lake and has some acreage as well. Its mature woods, not a lot of deer but its a great opportunity to spend time with dad at deer camp. When I want to kill deer, I hunt in the southern part of...
I had one wth the stainless upper. Was a very accurate gun. I carried it for CCW, carried 200 gr speer gold dots. At the time I had several CCW guns that were all the same size and function so I traded it on an AR-15. I still have a spare magazine if you are interested.

What holsters have you tried with your G20? I carry mine quite frequently using a Galco JAK slide holster. Now that its getting cooler in Michigan I get away with wearing a jacket, long flannel shirt, or sportcoat etc.
