Most of my deer hunting is where it's open enough that I'll take the lung shot when I can, I'll still recover them. I'm usually far enough from the neighbors land that traveling 80yds is no big deal too. I don't always wait for that shot though during buck season, I usually take the first...

That looks like great practice for a trip to Africa

That sounds awesome. My dad was never much of a hunter of anything but quail, and our quail population dropped to a level where you feel bad about shooting one about the time I started high school. Never had many hunts with him after that.

The elk area I hunt in Wyoming is the toughest I've been on. The country is steep and the elk are in the middle of the big canyons, far from access from the top or bottom. The top is usually snowed in by the late season when I hunt so the bottom is the only access. The country got tougher...

Everyone has their idea of perfect bullet performance. I personally like controlled expansion and exit wounds because to many of the animals on my wall have been taken at angles that required some penetration. That's the reason for the love/hate relationship I have with the Bergers. Love the...

I used the Foxgrip the first time tonight I went out and made a couple sets. No luck calling, but it works fine. It's real easy to install and pair with the remote. I set mine to the luscious lips lip squeaking sound at volume 10, one of my pre-sets I've used to get coyotes to commit in the...

I actually think the Accubond begins expansion faster than the BT if anything. The process that bonds the bullet softens the jacket I've read. It just holds more weight together and has less fragmentation or shrapnel that leaves the main bullet and creates a larger wound channel. I'd agree it...

I often have deer run up to 80 yards after being hit with an Accubond in any caliber. I wouldn't worry about that, it's normal. Ballistic tips or Bergers deliver more shock because they typically have more fragmentation. They also can potentially damage more meat and give less penetration on...

I haven't hunted moose either, I'm going in 2018 for my first time. I have used the Havalon knives quite a bit and do like them for caping. I'm to hard on a knife I guess though, I break blades quartering game with them. I got one of the Outdoor Edge replaceable blade knives for renewing an...

Cool pics and looks like fun. Good luck finding your cougar.

I was really hoping to hear the stock was stiffer than the American. That's the one spot these rifles miss the boat in my opinion, almost everyone uses a set of sticks or a bipod at some point. Make those stocks just a little stiffer so there isn't a pressure point loading up a bipod and they...

Just got it today, need to get it installed and tested.

I had a lightweight 300 win mag built by Rifles Inc I'm happy with. It was expensive but shoots and handles great. He builds heavier ones also. My others are all by Flint Hills Gun Works in Kansas and he built some darn nice shooting rifles also.

Where will you be hunting in Alaska? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hunting with Papa Bear outfitter, flying out of Bethel. He basically is a transporter that scouts an area the way I understand it. We will rent camp and an inflatable boat from him, bring own food and other gear. He...

Thanks, it felt like good practice. For what it's worth I like the bolt guns with more powerful cartridges than the 223 when coyotes are targets of opportunity. The bigger or faster bullets hit harder if the only shot I get is running away and at the back end of the yote at distance. They...

Sounds fun, but the ranch doesn't let me get away much. There used to be a couple trappers around here that took a couple hundred out of a 10 mile circle around me. Pelt prices are low and fuel costs enough neither has been out. There also used to be a calling contest that got a lot of...

I thought about titling this one Fun with Beer and an AR, but thought that might not present the best image. I parked my boat under the shed this year thinking I'd be using it again in a few days. The river flooded, haying started, and that never happened. Emptying it out didn't either, got...

I buy to many knives trying things out. I like the Barracuda best of the Havalons for general use. I bought the Shockey model with a 3" regular blade and the Piranta blade holder on the other end. It's handle is to bulky and I like a longer blade. I bought the Havalon with the Barracuda...

Hoping to draw for elk this year in Wyoming. We are going to have to try a new area, just across the highway from where we have hunted. Point creep has been staying ahead of us in the unit we used to hunt and we are tired of building points. It will be similar hunting just unfamiliar...

I've got 9 now in 2017, it's been a good start. Here is what I used and what it did. All but the one last night dropped on the first shot and didn't move after. Calling 204 Ruger AR, 45gr Hornady factory load @3325fps, 160yds. Entry front chest, small exit behind shoulder 204 Ruger AR 45gr...
