Smitty,
The day we shot those two I was stopped by a PGC game officer. I knew he was going to approach me as I was dragging mine out, but he stayed in the his truck well until I started loading her on the car.
I remarked as he was within earshot "how come you guys always come after the...
Smitty,
The season is quite liberal in aspect to days, it comes in mid-February and runs to May 1st.
I have taken a first time deer hunters and seasoned veterans everyone enjoys springtime hunting.
The BIGGEST rule is to respect the landowners' wishes. The RedTag hunts are within a boundary of...
Mr. Smitty,
The deer shown in the above pics were harvested as part of a PA Game Commision program with participating landowners referred to as "RedTag".

My rifle is a 26" barreled LazerMark.
The 120gr load my rifle liked was 71.80grains of Retumbo using Federal 215 primers and Weatherby Brass.
Now...that load gave a...
257Rob'ts,
For years I was a heavy bullet user, but through the years I have refined my skills and also discovered a way that I prefer to hunt.
I always wanted to hunt across a grassy field to a woodsline, but never spent enough hours logged doing so. So...I'd trod the woods, find a suitable...
Well guys this is my first post and truthfully I've never been a Nosler fan.
The limited experience I had with Partitions did not give me the accuracy I expected and the BT's performed at both ends of the scale.
But...I needed some recipes for my new Weatherby LazerMark in 257Roy.
And since my...
