    Il show you mine. Even if you dont show me yours.

    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...

    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    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...

    Cameras? What does everyone use?

    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...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    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...

    Biggest…when?

    Actually, I prefer hunting cows. Much easier to find and makes a big dent in the freezer! Got to admit though, those big bulls are beautiful!

    Hammer Bullets - what makes them so great?

    Ya know from what I've read there is a reason they are so popular. The company really seems to care about their customer's questions.

    Hammer Bullets - what makes them so great?

    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...

    Why can't I figure out my scope? Am I really that dense?

    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...

    Why can't I figure out my scope? Am I really that dense?

    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...

    Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024

    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.

    Alaska Caribou

    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...

    Fur friendly caliber/.223 bullet

    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...

    Teaching my 7yr old niece to shoot

    I think the best way to teach them is to teach them to shoot first. No bipod and no scope. After they learn to shoot then the after market stuff.

    New predator gun

    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...

    My dog just stepped on this snake???

    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.

    Dog eyes

    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...
