    Generally speaking, AR accuracy is not very hot.

    This is generally referring to the rifle and carbine AR's people buy stock out of the box for home security as well as mil-spec AR's. Out of the box bolt action rifles are generally minute-of-woodchuck. Many lever jobs are minute-of-deer. An out of the box or mil-spec AR is generally...

    DOGS - A Book Chapter Narration from p. 56 of "Dove Hunting" by Charley Dickey, 1976

    That dog won't win any beauty prizes. But better an ugly mutt, still, to conserve wildlife than to otherwise let doves rot away unrecovered. The shotgun is a beater too but seems to efficiently get doves converted to poppers and maybe ducks laterally moved to L'Orange, to quote Donald Sutherland...

    DOGS - A Book Chapter Narration from p. 56 of "Dove Hunting" by Charley Dickey, 1976

    I like the notion of hunting with dogs for just old-fashioned charm. No, I don't want to spend time and energy combing through a sunflower or corn field for one or more dropped birds. There might be snakes hiding out there. The only "boy" I might have is a male Lab or golden. A retriever, K9...

    What do American deer hunters need to know about chronic wasting disease?

    PS - The man in the video states that 10 million American deer hunters a year contribute $40 billion into the economy. It would seem then that each and every deer hunter is averaging about $4K/year out of his pocket on average toward his annual deer hunting effort. His numbers seem really bogus...

    What do American deer hunters need to know about chronic wasting disease?

    1. Where can a hunter have his quarry tested? 2. What is done to safeguard the meat until the test results are gotten? I would hate to spend money on deer processing only to find out the animal tests positive later on. Can the meat be preserved before butchering while the CWD testing is in...

    Make a new draw system from scratch.

    This is for Dave N: I cannot find any Dave N OP's and Dave N complained on one of my latest threads that I never add anything to any other person's threads so, Dave, you asked for it, you got it, Toyota: a present from dove-retrieving dogs everywhere and me to YOU! Now come hear me, all you...

    DOGS - A Book Chapter Narration from p. 56 of "Dove Hunting" by Charley Dickey, 1976

    The simple answer is NO. I'm more interested in the dog aspects of wingshooting than the shotgun aspects. Any damfool can buy a dozen boxes of shells and bang away at dove all day long. If a man were to take a mourning limit with just one 25-count box of shells and recover each and every one of...

    DOGS - A Book Chapter Narration from p. 56 of "Dove Hunting" by Charley Dickey, 1976

    Drivel? It came directly from the book which I cited here. If you don't believe me, please purchase the book and read it yourself. This book was published in 1976. This book's author states that millions of doves are wasted each season due to lack of retrieval by dog. Humans just don't have a...

    DOGS - A Book Chapter Narration from p. 56 of "Dove Hunting" by Charley Dickey, 1976

    I hear they are good wrapped in bacon, cream cheese and jalapeno. I hope you don't let your male dog loose to chase stray bitches or for any other reason.

    DOGS - A Book Chapter Narration from p. 56 of "Dove Hunting" by Charley Dickey, 1976

    The most heart-warming thing about hunting doves and other game with a gun is having a well-trained, loyal and loving K9 companion afield. The hunting dog is important for the conservation of game and the dog can even let you know if birds are coming in case you did not see them of hear them...

    Who regularly hunts deer with a shotgun?

    My Pennsylvania-native grandfather was born in 1908 and was raised in northern California since age 5. He once deer, duck, grouse and pheasant hunted in California sometime before 1964. Just before I came along. He had two CF rifles of his own and he would use borrowed shotguns for occasional...

    Who regularly hunts deer with a shotgun?

    The magical Savage 220 is the definitive "woke" and "geek-tech" way to fly in the 2020's if the state's game gestapo dictates you must absolutely fling shotgun slugs, but no rifle bullets or buckshot, at deer to kill them. .243 Winchester kindness to your firing shoulder coupled with...

    Moose hunting is not for me.

    I once had elk sausage and it was great. No, never tried moose. Remember, rules permitting, you might shoot a cow elk. You might even shoot a cow moose. But please don't shoot any cows while hunting!

    Who regularly hunts deer with a shotgun?

    Here are two pages of text from George's book, pp. 48-49. They tell a lot about deer hunting with a shotgun, but not more up-to-date stuff: Most of the gun people, hoping to improve the shotgun as a deer hunting weapon, have concentrated on the ammunition. Only in recent years has there been a...

    Who regularly hunts deer with a shotgun?

    I'm now reading The Deer Hunter's Bible by George Laycock. 1986. Doubleday I'm now on the chapter on shotguns. For thick brushy cover and in the South with traditional hound pushes, they make all the sense in the world. Teddy Roosevelt even said the shotgun was the ultimate weapon for brush...

    Moose hunting is not for me.

    Ditto for elk hunting. Deer hunting, does only, in low, flatter wooded areas near home is about as labor-intensive and costly as I would ever want hunting, big game or otherwise, to be.

    Deer Hunting: Is the .350 Legend bound to be the "thirty aught six" for the straight-wall-cartridge eastern states?

    I'm serious about going hunting with "something" someday but I don't know with what just yet. What I need to do now is just wait until I get settled into whatever future state I move to and then see what my real options for a deer-killing device are then and there. Whenever hunters move from one...

    I'm a boomer. In the 1970's and 1980's

    old people often hated rock and roll music, and generally, loud music. Nowadays, all the classic rock n rollers are old people if not dead already. Sound funny? In the summer of 1976, I put on a pop/rock station while riding along in my grandfather's 1961 Chevrolet. Peter Frampton was singing...

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    a Toyota Tundra and a 12 ga slug gun: provided the Toyota was in very good condition if not brand new Guess which item of the two I would never use, and probably sell, if I had both.
