Young gal and her dad just sent me a text that her first evening on stand and her first time out for big game were uneventful. I replied to her that is what hunting can be alot of and just be persitent and something will happen. They said they will come back later in the week. Thank goodness we...
Myself and two friends made it out to shoot some and try out my friends new Swarovski Z5 3-18w BT. He is shooting a Browning A bolt South Paw. He had a Christensen Carbon wrapped barrel installed chambered in 300 RUM. We shot out to 700 yards. The scope seems to work well. It takes a lot of...
After a almost a month this guy decided to check out the bait. He has come in 2 nights in a row in the dark. This is the new stand which we set up for the young lady. Hopefully her and her dad can make it out this week sometime. The season runs until June30 so lots of time left. The boars are...

Going to set up 2 baits tomorrow. My cousins 15 year old daughter wants to come out and put an arrow in one. Should be a fun month or two. Knocked off 16 beavers this week that will fill up my 2 barrels and then some. Love that beaver bounty.
It was 1978 and I purchased a Remington 600 in 6mm Remington. Muskrats were bringing good money I think I paid $165.00 for the gun. Another day of muskrats and I picked up a Bushnell Banner 4x and Weaver mounts and Rings. Speer 75 grain Hollow Points and H4831 were the go to load for this gun. I...
