    A few expensive or a lot, less expensive

    I started out thinking I needed every caliber and the only way too do that on my salary was to buy very cheap used stuff and most of it never got used after the weekend I bought it. Eventually I decided a Weatherby line up was for me and we sold everything and now have only 6 Weatherby's and...

    Store Bought Ammo

    I use weatherby ammo and have not found it to be inferior to anyones handloads. It is expensive but to date, I neither have the time or inclination to buy all the equipment and products I need to start reloading. Someone else above said "I am a hunter not a shooter" and that does fit me for...

    ladies/youth big game caliber

    The first rifle I got my wife was a 243 and she loved it. Eventually she moved up to a 270 but I was glad she started with something smaller and easier to handle I have never owned either but have almost owned both at one time or another. I have shot both, as friends have both the 308 and...

    A Relic

    300 weatherby for me, sort off. I also agree with Earle and April. A friend of mine has an H & H and I do want one, and the 300 is still in the safe but has been replaced in the field with the 270 Weatherby. I will probably sell the 300 Weatherby and buy a 300 H & H. Charles, speaking of...

    Alaska Average 1st Shot Distance

    Excellent point Dr Mike and I have looked at pictures of the area Gerry hunts in and that alone is an incentive too move. It is beautiful Dr Mike, another one that makes me smile when I read it, is Walrus---who in the heck hunts Walrus of course it is possible the several here do since the...

    Alaska Average 1st Shot Distance

    here in the east ones shots are usually under 100 yards. I was always told hunting Elk in the west would require a long range rig but we have hunted Elk in Montana every year for several years now and I think are longest shot was 225 yards. I love how Gerry speaks about goat and sheep like it...

    Caribou Hunt Outfitter Recommendations

    Dr Mike, Gerry, Gil you fellows from B.C. Is the ban in Quebec on Caribou like the ban oil Grizzly's in B.C. ? Does someone from the U.S. have to have a guide to hunt caribou in B.C. or is it like Alaska ?

    Your vote....coolest European cartridge and rifle.

    I would love to own a nice double rifle but I can not justify the cost. I think a double is definitely something that is European and Africa. I also dont use or have a double shotgun either side by side or over and under, but several people I hunt with do have an over and under but I dont...

    Dogs for hunting

    I am with Dr Mike. I am not a knife fighter! BTW the LEL hunt was with rifles and to my knowledge no dogs We have had two or three different breeds, I like the Lab, however I do not harvest 60 plus pheasants in one morning like salmon chaser, and we dont have a lot of sled dog races or...

    Dogs for hunting

    I agree with Fotis Dr Mike, thank you, interesting. I had never heard of them but I guess wild hogs destroy a lot of land in the south. A group of fellows from the LEL forum got together and went on a hog hunt and had a lot of fun and harvested a lot of hogs
