Congratulations Dan on some excellent work, both with Quickload and from behind the rifle. (y) For viewers, I visited Dan recently and he gave me a little insight into the value of and variable inputs required to get the best results from Quickload. Dan has volunteered to use his Quickload...

Looks like a beautiful day with well trained dogs in some good bird country. Reminds me of hunting birds years ago in North Dakota with friends and a well trained Lab named Josie. Thanks for sharing. Rol

Thank you for posting a great story Guy.. I was out in the snowy woods today with my chainsaw cutting on an old Hickory tree that fell in our woods. When done and dried it will be mighty nice fuel for ther fireplace.

A few years ago I first came on the forum looking for advise on how to become a 400 yard shooter and I received several excellent suggestions. The big step toward that goal for me was to change from a simple duplex reticle scope to one with hash marks on the lower half of the vertical portion...

Dan, I do not intend for this falls hunting trip to be your last..out west... I am hoping that your 300WSM will serve you well and help you bring home the bacon...(Elk Bacon of course).. :-). Great memories have a way of planting a seed which sprouts into a need for more opportunities...

From reading hunting stories by Teddy I do not recall him mentioning carrying a small caliber rifle. As I set here thinking about Teddy stories I seem to remember reading about an occasion where he had some cartridges loaded with shot to put small game in the pot when out in the field. He...

Reloder 22 was a favorite of mine in the 30-06 with 180 grain partitions and accubonds until I learned of the temperature sensitivity of the powder, which never caused me a significant problem as I do not shoot long range. I have since changed to IMR 4451 which seems quite stable in my limited...

For the last 25 years Dan has maintained the farm previously owned by his grandparents and parents. His efforts have included adding to the acreage, to attain 267 acres presently, maintaining open fields to prevent the return of dense forests, and for the last 10 years or so, planting food...

Congratulations to Tom and Paul, and thank you to Dan for sharing his beautiful hunting property for family to enjoy. Excellent story with a beautiful ending. That Doe will be a lot of good eating.. I encourage Tom to print the photos and start a hunting journal to add to over the years as...

Troy, nice job getting the does to stand and pose for you... What is your secret? :grin: My sister lives in a Village in western NY which is off limits to any hunting and there is a herd of 4 or 5 does that could care less about me coming and going from her house when they want to feed on the...

Congratulations Caleb... Beautiful story and i have enjoyed the pleasure of hunting from that stand, although I do not have the pizza shop number to call for delivery to the stand.. Maybe you can write it on the inside wall in case I may need it in the future... :lol: :lol: It pleases me...

Thanks for the encouragement Fellas. The Ruger Number 1 will be my primary rifle this year with the Remington as a back up. The Ruger Number 1 is at local gunsmith shop to have the 4 pound trigger worked on before I journey forth to Montana in a few days. I have also ordered the wrist and...

Background: I have three 30-06's that each shoot less than 1" at 100 yards if I do my part with the following loads: Nosler cases, (can be new or 1X) Federal 210 primer, 56.6 grains of IMR 4451 with a 180 grain Nosler Partition setting on top, comparator OAL 2.695 - 2.696". Two different lots...

Beautiful inspiring story for us older folks to keep up the hunt.. Congratulations on a fine hunt and enjoy the fine eating. Thanks for sharing and wishing you many more years of good health and much success.

Dan, sounds pretty complete to me.. (y) What variety of apple trees would you like to plant on your property for next year? A few early varieties for early archery season and some late varieties like northern spy? Just think Dan... :grin:

That is truly Hilarious... (y) Having helped with and seen Dan's latest stand addition, I am waiting for him to add a propane heater to supplement the solar heat beating on the stand and maybe a coffee pot... How about it Dan?

Dan and I have been friends for about 4 or 5 years now and as we were traveling to a diner for lunch (which was delicious and He bought) after the build Wednesday I remarked that when we met I knew he was a serious deer hunter, but this project puts him WAY over the top in dedication to the...

We had a black bear with two ear tags walk through our yard earlier this month. When I called Wildlife to report it, as they have requested, the young female voice asked me if I had the numbers off the tags?? I informed her I did not get that close and personal. Kinda makes you wonder if the...

I would consider your rifles deterrents. Is it safe to assume you were after black bear?

Wow, Dr Mike, you were close. What made you sure the boar would not mistakenly think you were going to challenge him for the sow? Did you have a deterrent in case of such an occurrence? Thanks for sharing and I am glad you both are safe.
