That had been suggested by a brother in law but we haven't seen or heard any indications of feral hogs in our vicinity. The only things we've seen on camera or naked eye are deer, turkeys, squirrels, and one coon. As an aside, on March 19 my wife and I cut some brush so we could have a better...

Central Missouri. No, we don't have porcupines, at least in my area. Ron

I dont think so. Pretty sure my ex-wife moved. Ron

Our deer season ended January 15th but on our farm we have continued to find what appear to me to be buck rubs. This has been consistent up to, and including, today. I know it's the wrong time of year and we haven't seen any deer with real world antlers in person or on trail cameras. I...

Ok, due to popular request, here is the latest in hi-tech hunting stands. I didn't know it when I bought it that it would work out so well but so far it has exceeded all expectations.

There I was, in my recliner, enjoying my coffee, when this guy decided to trot through our pasture. I grabbed my Remington 783 223 loaded with 55 gr Blitzkings and explained to him that wasn't a good idea. No fawns for him.

Congratulations to Caleb and kudos for sticking with it. Ron

Pretty much. If you look at the photo with me in it you'll see my high tech camo 😝

Our spring turkey season opened April17 but I hadn't been hunting yet. All the gobblers I'd heard were miles away and the only turkeys I'd seen on our farm had been hens. After lunch today, I was in my recliner and my wife headed outside. She came back inside quickly and said, "There are...

Thanks guys. Something I forgot to mention is I got my first suppressor out of ATF jail the other day. We tried it out and it was so cool hearing the sound of the bullet hitting steel being louder than the report of the rifle. Ron

My oldest stepson, Josh, and I went to a range yesterday that offers a 500 yd distance. We shot steel targets (provided by the range) and some paper. Sierra 169gr Matchkings, 44 gr Varget, 100 yds. This was my first try with this relatively new bullet. I left the target in Josh's truck so I...

Man, if they DID stop production, I'm scared to think how high prices will go. The sky's the limit.

I have two, both Tikkas, a T3x light barrel and a Super Varmint heavy barrel. I have killed several deer using handloads with the 147 ELD-M and factory loads using the 143 ELD-X. It has rapidly become one of my favorite rounds for accuracy and performance on deer. As was already stated, if...

I have the same model. I've only fired about 60 rounds through it but no issues so far. Prior to the range trip I lubed the BCG but that was all. I haven't adjusted the gas block because it was running fine so don't fix what ain't broke. With Winchester and Federal white box 7.62x51 FMJs I got...

Just prior to my retirement I was a member of a committee tasked with choosing a new duty gun for my agency and to consider changing from 40 to 9mm. We called/emailed numerous departments/ agencies of all sizes, urban and rural, and the overall findings were: A majority of the officers on the...

In the early 2000's Tikka made a sub-series of their T-3 rifles called a Big Boar. It had a full length stock with a 19 inch barrel. 308 Win, 30-06, and 300 WSM were the only chamberings. I have been able to find a 300 WSM and a 30-06 but would like to find a 308 to complete the set. I have...

I dont know if this will meet your criteria exactly, but Speer is showing a 120 gr Grand Slam, $20.99/50 on their website.

FWIW, I have a Grice special run 7600. It's a black synthetic. 280 that was made in the mid-to late 90's (I think). A guy had a LGS order it for him then backed out of the deal when it arrived. Another guy bought it but didn't take the best care of it and lost it when he didn't pay the Pawn...

My wife found this on Facebook and I thought I would share Ron

Glad you're doing better and the prognosis is good as well. One of my best friends had a similar experience many moons ago while bow hunting bear in Canada. He killed his bear while having the symptoms you described, then dressed it, etc. He didn't get any medical attention until he was back...
