Up until about 12 years ago my Buck 110 folder worked perfectly for deer. Having a few extra bucks in my pocket I decided to try a custom knife. I knew a dealer that was selling Randall knives (when you could still get them without waiting for 3 years) I ended up with a just under 4 inch blade...
I learned the hard way about using Magnum primers in cold weather. I had loaded up some 7MM-08 140 Grain Sierra Game kings/with H414 with standard primers and then after sighting in took the combination to Maine for my annual deer hunt. Well the temperature got down to about 10 below one...
My only hunting these days is Whitetails as my buddy has serious issues with his eyes. Many good years of Elk hunting in Colorado but Maine Whitetails are no slouch. My rifle is a Rem. 700 Titanium in 7MM-08. Wears a Leupold 2.5X8 and stuffed with Sierra 140 grain Game kings. I've lost track of...
I couldn't agree more. My .338RUM has taken a number of Elk over the years the longest shot being 326 yards. In each case the Elk headed right to the ground and no tracking was needed. I've used both the 225 grain partition and the Sierra 225 Grain Pro hunter and both bullets performed perfectly.
Charlie, based on what I heard on three different occasions he was using open sights. I'm sure as time goes on more will come out. I'm curious as to what the SS sniper said in regards to holding his shot for so long. He had the shooter in his sights for three minutes and apparently someone was...
I can understand him wanting her to learn to shoot a larger caliber. The .243 at its best is very light for Elk hunting. And as distance to the animal increases the .243 becomes less effective. While hunting for Elk in Colorado I've seen and talked to hunters who carry a .243 for Elk hunting...
I'm reading all the comments on Scope power and it made me realize that I made the right choice with my Model 700 .338RUM. I have a Zeiss 1X6 with Warne Mounts that's been on it since day one and taken a good number of Elk with it out to just over 300 yards (326 yards to exact) At 6 power Elk...
Good luck on the Antelope Jim. My buddy has been trying to draw a private land Antelope for four years with no luck. He's told that the herd is down. He buys points and that's a plus for Fish and Game.
Reminds me of my incident a number of years ago when I was doing my early morning walk through the neighborhood. Had a neighbor who rehabilitated dogs and was presently working with a pit bull who had been rescued from Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina. It seems the dog was a guard dog working...
I went through my course three weeks ago and even though I was the 2nd oldest out of 28 shooters I aced the target and tied with two other shooters. (The instructor laughed and congratulated me). Practice definitely pays off.
I had four stents placed after my heart attack in July 2020. The Doctor asked me how I felt and I had to say I Hadn't felt this good in a long time. It's amazing the feeling after circulation is improved.
When I did a lot of IDPA shooting I used a considerable amount of titegroup in my .45. I switched over to 9MM and continued using the titegroup. Other than burning dirty I had no complaints. When Win 244 came out I tried that and stayed with it. It burns a heck of a lot cleaner.
Deer in Alabama this season. A good friend with almost 800 acres made this possible. I wish Elk was still possible but Elevation according to my Doc is a no no. Ducks in Florida. (good hunting) Too damn cold for Deer in Maine:rolleyes: (The Doc told me I've been living in Florida too long)
Midway sells the reloader that you are looking for. I purchased one for about $30.00 and their worth every penny (especially in cold weather) At 79 years my fingers don't work quite as well as they used to and the last 5 rounds are a PITA. This unit will solve that problem completely.
I have just read where Ukraine has received a very substantial order of small arms ammunition along with the bigger rounds. I'm figuring this is where all of our components are heading to. We are on the tail end of receiving anything left over and it does not look good.
There are a lot of Citrus trees growing in my area of Florida and many different types of lemons/limes are available. I can't quite remember the name of that lemon but there is a house down the street from me that has a tree just full of those. My next door neighbor has lemons, limes, and key...
