Michigan wilderness first aid class
It’s a Michigan-based firearms training company. I’ve taken a few handgun and carbine classes with them over the past few years and they’re top-notch in terms of safety, instruction, and not too much “political” talk. The medical course was a two-day course with an instructor they brought in...- PawPawWPG

Look into DART 1 held through MDFI. My wife and I both took it last year and we found it incredibly beneficial.- PawPawWPG

Bullet Failure?
To be honest I was so excited to have taken a moose that I didn’t inspect it until I found the bullet, and by that time we had it quartered out.- PawPawWPG

Bullet Failure?
I talked to Steve. He’s wondering if the twist rate of my rifle is too slow to stabilize the bullet. It’s a M70 Featherweight I got off Gunbroker so I’ll measure the twist and see if that was the issue.- PawPawWPG

Thanks, everyone. I’ve got a long drive home from Maine so I gave him a call/shot him a text.- PawPawWPG

Bullet Failure?
Was this a bullet failure or something that just happens? The majority of my hunting has been done with a straight-wall rifle so I don’t have a lot of experience with recovering actual rifle bullets - just shooting them. This is a Hammer Hunter 143 grain bullet shot out of a .280 AI that hit a...- PawPawWPG

Any luck in the Maine Moose Lottery for the HT crowd?
My buddy drew a cow tag and I’m on his subcommittee. Anybody done that before? We’d be coming from Michigan and it’s the Allagash region.- PawPawWPG

Breeder recommendation for Wirehaired Pointing Griffon
There’s a set of criteria established for dogs to receive a CHIC number, by breed, by the AKC and each breed organization. For Griffs, it is eyes, thyroid, hips, and OFA elbows. Some breeders do a heart screening as well. It’s a little deceiving, though, since a dog can get a CHIC number only...- PawPawWPG

Breeder recommendation for Wirehaired Pointing Griffon
Oh man this is an old thread! I now have two Griff’s! My dogs hunt like mad. They’ve got just as much bird drive as any other versatile breed, including GSP’s. This year I’ve shot pointed grouse, woodcock, and wild pheasants over them, and they’ve retrieved geese. They’re going to be slower...- PawPawWPG

Student Loan Rifle
I thought I’d follow up on this post now that I’m finished! I really appreciate all the help and suggestions and it made me realize I wasn’t going to find exactly what I wanted. A big thank you to @Addicting for let me shoot some of his rifles and talking me through the building process. On...
