Well no photo's of it but the rifle I was always closest o was a Remington 660 in 308. Had a 2 3/4x Redfield widefield on it and was my number one gun well over probably 30 yrs. Somehow my son ended up with it and though he needed more scope so gave me back my 2 3/4x and got himself a newer...
Looks like a lab to me. Probably should try teaching it to flush birds, means you better geta handle on it. There are those claiming to have pointing labs and all I've ever seen are photo's. Look like they were taught to stop and stand still when they discovered a bird. Running it on game birds...
I don't take photo's of what I killed but now and then do birds. I'd prefer to get the photo of the animal alive. Do take photo's of fish I catch sometimes too. hard to get decent photo's of birds in the wild of fish in the water. But I do carry a camera around with me all the time. Panasonic ZS...
I suspect that the dog has already forgot more about smelling things than you'll ever be able to tech it! Get something for your dog it really really likes the eat and drag it around outside and hide it. Then walk your dog through the area and just watch it. I'd bet it will find that treat...
Now I'm wondering. Aren't they monolithic bullet's? And they make a mess inside the game? Anyway people are gonna like what they like. I could use pretty explosive bullets on most game and kill all with one shot without losing a lot of meat, just depends on where you place the bullet! Of course...
Not really necessary to sight in at 100 yds, just something we've been doing for more years than I've been around. From there you can figure out where you have to hold at other ranges to have the bullet hit where you want. I sight in at 3" high at 100yds then feed it into my old chronograph and...
I don't know if this is right or not but you zeroed in at 80 yds. ullet is going to rise some at 100yd, When I zero a scope I start at about 25yds. then move to 100 yds and with 25yd zero the 100 yd shots hit over 4" high. Won't be that drastic at 80 yds zero but gonna be some kind of change...
I'd say yes, depending on the bullet. Shot 139gr Hornadys in my 6.5x06 some years ago and killed three cows where they stood! Have a 6.5x55 and 260 Rem I'm shooting 140gr Speer Hot Cores in and wouldn't hesitate to use either on elk.
That's a good idea for cooking. I don't generally hunt to far from home but number of years ago I went bird hunting a long way off. For food I packed everything in zip lock bags all cooked at home. Took along a metal 5 gal bucket and to heat the food, boiled it in the bags in water in the...
Old thread I know. Anyway was thinking about this and recall shooting cat bullet's from a buddy's 22 Hornet while in Montana. I think is I wa a serious hide hunter I'd go the cast route. 222 Rem with a 50gr cast bullet shouldn't harm a pelt much at all. I think the biggest problem with jacketed...
Ya know, I got my 243's with the idea I was going to take up coyote hunting. Well one 243 is now a 260 Rem and the other I'm not gonna wear out the barrel shooting. If I get this notion again I'm looking for another 222 Rem. problem with shooting coyotes is they look like a dog to me and I have...
I wondered about that. But been using him a long time and other than this one, no complaints. Had my old Squirt get bit several years ago and it was one trip in and couple days and you couldn't tell he'd been bit.
Have to tell a story about this guy, great guy too! He's originally a retriever man but somewhere along the way he got a red setter, my Stormy's dad! Well somehow the red became his wife's dog so he got a Britt. Yep, it too became the wife's dog. Well she told me when they got this pup that this...
