I had a Garmin 320 for a lot of years and about three years ago the receiver went bad. Found a used one to replace it with. Lasted maybe three more years and ten toes up! So got a new Garmin 430 and no problems. Farthest I was able to track a dog was an E Setter I had years ago, got him out at 2...
I like that! I've got a 1903, call it my elk gun but don't hunt them anymore, getting to old to get one out!
Almost looks like you even copied my scope. Mine is a 2 3/4x Denver Redfield Widefield I got new about 1972'
Actually the need for speed is more so with penetration. Weight and velocity penetrate! The mono bullet's that seem to be always used are quite a bit lighter than lead core bullet and both penetrate about the same but the lead core seem to be more destructive. Winchester had some adds for the...
Years ago, when I was a lot younger, though a magnum was the answer to any question like this. But something I finally came to realize was I don't like recoil. Learned to shoot the magnums alright but did not enjoy getting belted by them. Some years back I did go elk hunting again and took my...
Ya know the only pressure sign I might over look, might, is a flat primer. I've noticed what a lot of people think is flat doesn't mean a thing. Bolt opening hard does! I also pay attention to the ejector mark. But your the one firing the rifle and I think you should decide for yourself what...
I lived in Big Fork and lakeside 1970 to 1974 then moved to Missoula. That's why! Kalispell used to be a nice town. Early 1970's I'd go up to Polebridge quite a bit. Went up when I took my mom the Kalispell and never do that again, been over run with hippie type people. Can't even get a slice of...
I carry a hand gun every where I go. But have to admit, if I was to have trouble with some predator I figure if my rifle won't end it my handguns not gonna work. Of course generally I have my CC gun with me. 9mm and light weight!
Well I like them but not so close to civilization. I used to hunt birds a lot and as wolves moved into the country I hunted, I left the country. Not interested in having one of my dogs be a wolf's meal. Wolves are dangerous predator's and need to be given room. It's not the one that runs from...
At one time Missoula was quite alright. Started driving road trucks out of there in 1973, I think that was the year. Mountain Pacific Trucking. Back then for a city Missoula didn't bother me. haven't been in Missoula for years but have heard things that just don't sit well with me. Took my...
While I was in Alaska I went salmon fishing with the guy I worked for in grizzly country. We camped out over night in a tent. Wasn't the best night sleep I ever had!
Love them crappie but Brownlee is to far away! Last perch I got was caught in the Boy Scout Camp, Baiting Hollow, on Long Island in New York about 1960 maybe a bit before. Never have eaten one!
