I hope everyone is doing well. I have not been on the site much due to hunting and trapping but that is a good excuse!!
The goal was for my wife and I to put 3 deer in the freezer with her shooting at least one of them and to catch a fisher and an otter. We did that plus.
I shot the first...
I don't know when but I know it was in my blood at a very young age. My uncle was in his master's classes to become a school psychologist and had to test little kids so I was his test subject.
At 3-4 years old, he asked me, " How many seasons are there?"
I replied, "Four."
He then followed...
I understand if you can't buy the ones you really want but maybe a buddy of yours can buy one or two of them and someday you can buy them back from him. Better than Joe Blow buying it and never seeing him again. The M1 sounds like a dandy!!
Looking for information on what barrel maker to check out when looking for a fast twist .223 AR15 barrel?
I would like the barrel to be 18-20" and shoot heavy bullets. The purpose of the upper is more for the range not field.
Thanks
One of the older guys in my hunting group had a 7mmRM and I was in awe of it as a kid. I watched him kill deer WAY out there with is and always wanted one. I inherited a Browing A-bolt from my late father in law, but could not get it to shoot so I sold it and got a Tikka T3 and it loves 150...
My wife and I are getting ready for deer season here in WI and were talking about dream hunts. The conversation ended with us wanting to book a moose hunt in 4 years from know.
Here is my thought, my wife will be the shooter, I will be there as support and to enjoy the time with her. I...
I have been hunting in WI for 24 years and have targeted deer, turkey, and bear for the most part.
I will start with bear. There are 4 zones in the state. 3 allow hounds and are in the northern 1/3 of the state. Drawing a tag takes 5-10 years depending on the zone. I drew mine in 6 years...
I like to take the breast and cut it into 2-3" hunks. From there, I pound them flat with a meat mallet and coat them in seasoned flour before frying in hot oil until golden brown. For the thighs/legs, I slow cook them and then pull them for tacos.
2017 is in the books and it was a good one. I was not able to take a kid out during the Learn to Hunt or the state youth hunt due to a vacation but I was able to get out during season B-F here in Wisconsin. The numbers of birds were not as strong as the last few years which made me focus on...
I love to turkey hunt but have never left WI to hunt them. I can try to help you but if you need more info PM me. My buddy just completed his world slam this spring.
Osceola=mid to south Florida (guided is the best option)
Eastern=from Maine to north Florida and west to the Mississippi River...
I just went and checked the barrel for free float and action screws. The screws are set to Ruger spec and the barrel is floating.
The scope is tight as well.
??? I plan on trying RL22 this weekend with the 140 hot cors.
My best load was 55.5 grains of IMR7828. It shot 1.125" with two touching and one out at .010" off the lands. From there, I tried seating some deeper. .020/.035/.050" off the lands and they shot 1.75-2.5" groups. Speeds were 3065 fps with 55.5 grains.
