    Trail camera recommendations

    I would suggest you get in any website that sells multiple brands and check out the buyer reviews. Some makes/models have thousands of reviews and might be of some confusion/help for you. I’ve used stealth cam and moultrie largely for price point, password protection, infrared and battery...

    1 Year Thermal Whitetail Drone Study

    I listened to a ducks unlimited podcast where they were using similar tech to count and track breeding pairs, broods etc. Things that are hidden and impossible to see that are visible to the cameras. Interesting to see the varied uses

    Africa 2026

    Check out 4 stable sticks. Rudolph also has the same thing and I got their version. After using them in South Africa, I bought myself a pair and it is all I use now

    Down Payment

    Take a couple pairs of shorts so you can change after the morning hunt. So you always have clean dry clothes on. Monkey butt powder will also be your friend. I leave in a week for the east cape. Will post the hunt when I get back-

    150 ABLRs in the 280AI - any comments?

    I’ve had very good success with the 150 ablr BUT it’s in a 7mm-08 at 2750 fps using rl-17, r-p brass and fed 215 m primers. This is the load that is the best and most consistent for me. I’ve tinkered with this load to death-different powders. Seating depths, Nickel cases, nosler brass etc The...

    150 vs. 165 (edited)

    Burglar breaks into your house. Do you shoot him with the big bullet or the smaller version- Both will be accurate for the task at hand and the end result will be the same. So bigger or smaller. . .

    25 Pronghorn

    Send the scope to the manufacturer and let them know it won’t hold zero any longer. Even if this isn’t the problem it might have a very happy solution. . . Any chance the throat is getting burned out and the barrel needs replaced?

    Africa 2026

    Your phone will be great for most of your pictures. Talk to your ph and see if you can spend a day at a photography park-elephants and giraffes and all the rest stand and stare while you take thousands of pictures. It’s a great add on to a hunting safari and your new camera will get to stretch...

    I’m Through

    In utah the “peacekeepers” shot and killed a bystander at the king rally. Some guy smuggled an ak into the crowd and when he pulled it out the peacekeeper shot and missed and killed the bystander. . .

    Flying with Rifle and ammunition

    Typically it just goes in a checked back and in an original Ammunition carrier-the box it came in or a plastic ammo holder that is taped shut. But each airline does have their own rules and the girl at the check in counter may not be familiar with them! Always check ahead of time and I would...

    Favorite Loads for the 7-08 Remington

    Had reason to look this load up today-my daughters win m70 featherlite with 120 Barnes ttsx. Uses bl-c2 and nickel plated cases. My rem 700 really likes bl-c2 with 100 gr Sierra hp bullets- a marvelous varmint load in that rifle

    Which cartridge do you like so much, you have multiple firearms for it?

    Multiple firearms in the same caliber=I keep multiples of 7mm-08 and .30-06. Partly since I share with my kids and some I use as loaners in case someone needs to borrow a rifle. For example have a youth model marlin 7mm-08 that my kids all Started with and quickly grew out of-and the girls...

    Favorite Loads for the 7-08 Remington

    I’ll do a report later this summer. Taking one of my little 7’s to Africa and shooting 150 ablr over rl-17 which it loves. We will see how it works in South Africa. Interested to see what hers can do!

    Need help with an experiment

    All you need to know is if you can hit the damn dime at 100 yards with your loads every time. If not, then you have some tweeking to do-
