    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    On October 15, 1996, on a sunny dewey morning, I got a deer in California B-2 zone. I can't recall what day the deer season ended that year but I was legal with a tag. I was under a paid guide on private land. Yes, venison in the freezer even before little monsters in Halloween masks came...

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    Well, I have yet to live and/or hunt in Iowa. Perhaps, I should hold my tongue until I actually move there and feel out an entire year there of climate. I have more important reasons than hunting to move to Iowa anyway. At least the doves in IA seem very promising as to what I've read thus far...

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    Are there any fellow gun hunters here that feel the way Peter Frampton and I do? Well, I don't know how Peter feels about it, but do YOU feel like I do?

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    I want to seriously take action so that America's gun hunters get a fair shake. I want to be able to CHOOSE what month I can shoot my doe in with my gun. America is all about freedom of choice. It angers me that the nice warm weather is given, handed on a silver platter by state regulators, to...

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    I'm trying to say I'm sensitive to cold weather. The question I'm trying to hammer home is why in the hell are gun hunters forced in Iowa to suffer in freezing weather? I just want a damned doe anyway. I mentioned California because I was happy and warm in October when I took my deer there in...

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    No, I really don't understand the conservation logic of making poor gun hunters tough it out in the nasty cold months. Why does flinging arrows from a bow and maxi balls from a smokepole during September, October and November make more wildlife management sense then flinging out even those "safe...

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    PS - Is there a lobby to protect America's modern firearms hunters so we are treated fairly?

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    I believe this whole anti-modern-deer-gun movement is to deter hunting altogether. Gun hunters seem discriminated against. When things get complicated and messy, it puts many guys off and they give up. Many guys gave up ducks and geese when steel shot was once forced. Why in the devil should...

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

    A dedicated slug gun can only be hunted past the first of December since it can only be used in the 2 shotgun seasons and the special January antlerless. A Savage 220 gunner will still be out in the nasty cold, weatherwise. How hard are modern muzzle-loaders to keep clean? What if a follow-up...

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

    None of the above. I use instead a tidy commode to flush it down, Jack.

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

    One source claims the .350 Legend bullet is .357 diameter: This younger man has a creepy look of death in his wide serious eyes. The black facial hair enhances the spine-chill factor. This man could easily pass for an Army drill sergeant or a Marine DI with a shaving profile. This looks like...

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

    Mr. Gun Blue 490 is a sensible man. I could listen to him all day long. I like him. He is not some snowflake young punk.

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

    To me "east" means EAST of the Rockies having lived in California most of my life. This man uses a rifle in a conventional deer caliber to hunt deer in New Hampshire. Virtually no state west of the Rockies has any rifle restrictions during normal deer gun seasons. East of the Rockies, the whole...

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

    No, I have never shot the H&H but I gather it is an elephant gun for dangerous game in Africa. I lament on classic "deer cartridges" as used by many American hunters over the 20th century: .243, .308, .270, .257 Roberts, .250-3000, .300 Savage and .30-06. The .350 so-called Legend appeals to me...

    I don't crap on plates but I used generic Walmart toilet paper.

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

    That's the real bee-yotch of it all. But I'm even more concerned with getting venison into the freezer should I end up living in a straight-wall state. Iowa will accept the .35 Whelen to satisfy it's .35-minimum-diameter-bullet deer caliber requirement. Remington made some pump rifles in nice...

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

    I don't know. Winchester might have otherwise better called it the .350 Cornfielder, or, even the .350 Flyover. This round was conceived to deal with straight-wall regs. My suggested namesakes might have been insulting to heartland American states with these straight-wall rules, however. Toto...

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

    It should even shoot much softer than an '06 I should think. Here is what old Mr. Gun Blue 490 thinks of the "marvelous" 21st Century Legend round: The 6.5 Creedmoor was once so wonderfully touted but some cornfield state game regulators don't seem to dig it much. Iowa requires rifle...

    What do you hate about YouTube hunting, shooting, outdoors sports videos?

    For me, the following gets on my nerves: 1. all this whispering crap during deer hunts 2. this blaring background 'music' 3. butchering a nice older gun defacing its value: you know how I feel about drilling non-OEM holes in Savage Model 99's to mount stupid scopes 4. rotten marksmanship: learn...
