We had one more day with the cameraman but I was out of money for more animals. We didn’t want to waste a day or the opportunity at more film. So myself and ph Wik did some math and he offered me a couple options. Cull animals are free, but hard to come by since everyone wants to shoot them...

Are there alfalfa fields near timber where you live? While bowhunting in August in several states I have seen them in the fields during big game hunting hours. Never tried it but I believe you could bait them or at Minimum use a trail camera on a salt block. . . ?

I have an M48 and I love it. My opinion is give him that rifle and if HE wants to upgrade or customize then he can do it at his own disgression. He should love the fact that you gave him a rifle in the first place!

I have a very similar pre 64 in .30-06-these are very good rifles, built to hand down to the next generation again and again. The flat metal butt plate is a kicker, but I’ve never bothered to replace mine. I did refinish the stock on mine. They are great pieces of Americana, I hope someone...

I have a rifle tag for mule deer and another for antelope. Will use my 28 nosler and 175 gr ablr’s or my .300 wm and 180’gr AB’s. I’ll have the 7mm-08 with 150 ablr’s in the truck in case I think I can use it first. Will just have to see how things play out

Daisy red Ryder than later a crossman 760pellet gun. I had to pay half of the pellet gun which was a good lesson. Marlin .22 bolt action with open sights. Harrington and Richardson 20 gauge single shot shotgun-killed my first duck, pheasant and quail with that gun. .30-30 marlin lever action...

I haven’t seen the difference in accuracy but I have seen a big difference in velocity-and velocity certainly affects accuracy. Have you just for fun, shot both over a chronograph?

A .30-30 marlin lever action with open sights and some round nose hornady ammunition. I also still have the antlers although I’m sure I don’t know why anymore. My daughters both killed bigger “first bucks” than mine! 7mm-08 Remington 700 and 120 gr federal fusion-her first deer. 7mm-08...

Had peaches and blackberries off my own plants today. Hope you can find those grouse again in a couple weeks, I bet even a spruce grouse in there somewhere!

For everything I check off, I add two more!:ROFLMAO:

Would think a .275 rigby and a proper bullet of 150 or 170 ish grains would be excellent! Ive never shot one but have read a lot of praise for them. I was surprised a bit how well the little 7 worked for me.

Maybe you can find a “donor rifle” and have it rebarreled to nosler33. Idk for sure if that would work or not but maybe it’s an option.

I’m home, have afew more stories to tell, just working up to it. Part of the success of the trip was that I only missed one shot on big game. Only two animals needed to be shot twice and one of them was really just insurance. All the others were well hit and died quickly and easily found. If...

Have you been able to find the ttsx in heavy weights or are you referring to the tsx?

I had expressed a desire to hunt an ostrich. I just wanted the experience, didn’t want any feathers or any taxidermy pieces and parts, just the hunt. My ph doesn’t have them in his properties and most ph’s hate them. They have spook easily and when they run they legitimately spook all the...

so anyway, -in the favor of the partition ( which I am still not). is a very good book called “One Man, One Rifle, One Land” by JY Jones. It is older but still available and is a worthy read

This is why I Don’t use partitions and didn’t shoot nosler bullets until the Accubond. Partitions come apart-and that base might end up anywhere. I suppose my opinion of what a bullet should behave like is more in line with the Accubond performance. And I’ve had good success with the ablr as...

Bones and organs and fat all used in everyday cooking. Ox tail soup made from eland was excellent

The A Frame broke a rib on the entrance and exit and stuck inside the off shoulder up against one of the big bones but did not break it. So it completed a pass through the rib cage taking heart and lungs as it went and damaged the far shoulder but didn’t quite make it to the skin. The bullet...
