    Midsouth Shooters Supply

    I think the last hazmat charge I saw was $26.50. This is a charge in addition to normal shipping rates. Powder and primers do not need to be sent to FFL's.

    Hunting with a suppressed rifle?

    I have a couple suppressors from Dakota Silencer. They are Varminter 3.0 models which have been renamed "Banish". I've had them for several years and they work great but if I were to buy another today I would be looking at a suppressor from TBAC, most likely their Ultra 7.

    Thank you all for the kind words. I have much respect for the members of this site and the fact that so many have read and chimed in on my thread means a lot. I'm glad I was able to share the story of my hunt with you all. If anyone has any moose recipes they're willing to share I'd love to...

    Lucy retrieved her first bird yesterday. At 8 months she doesn't really know what she's doing but she's showing promise.

    Once In a Lifetime

    Overall I am over the moon happy with how the season progressed and ultimately ended. Each hunter has the choice to make whatever type of hunt they want with each tag they have. I decided early on I wanted to do this tag the "justice" that I felt it deserved. Sharing this story with all of you...

    Once In a Lifetime

    Here is where things get really "North Dakotan!" I had permission to hunt the land I was on given it was enrolled in PLOTS but I was really hoping I could get permission to drive on the land to dress and load the moose. I went to the farmer's (Roger) house to get permission. Roger wasn't home...

    Once In a Lifetime

    I used a Weatherby Vanguard S2 rifle chambered in 30-06. I have many rifles, some much fancier and trendier, but this rifle fits me like a glove and has taken many animals over the years. The rifle is topped with a Leupold VX5HD purchased from Schmalts. I was shooting Barnes 168 TTSX bullets...

    Once In a Lifetime

    I sent a few text messages to friends and family and my phone started blowing up with replies. I made a call to @Flatrock to fill him in on what had happened. I wished he had been there but we were both happy I was able to harvest such a great bull. Here I am with my once in a lifetime North...

    Once In a Lifetime

    I sat in disbelief as to what had just happened. Then I gave thanks to the Lord for the blessings He provided that led me to where I was currently sitting. After several minutes I stood up and walked to the bull. He was magnificent! I notched my tag and placed it on the antler.

    Once In a Lifetime

    I dropped my pack and extended the bipod on my rifle as I readied to call the bull. Before I could sit down the head of a moose appeared over a berm covered in tall grass that separated property I could hunt and property I couldn't. The head appeared next to the trees in the top right of this...

    Once In a Lifetime

    I drove to a place where I felt I could begin my stalk. I put on my pack and loaded my rifle. I needed to make it 200-300 yards to be in a position I felt would give me a good look at the bull at a distance I was comfortable shooting. Using cattails as cover I slowly crept toward the bull. The...

    Once In a Lifetime

    Following a great night's sleep in the hunting cabin I was up and ready to go before sunrise. Driving to moose country in the dark of morning I was anxious for what I may find. Flatrock and another friend would be on their way to join me later that day and spend the weekend helping me fill my...

    Once In a Lifetime

    The opener of rifle season came and I found myself at home due to conflicts with my wife's work schedule. My wife is very patient with me and my passion for hunting although she ins't a hunter herself. We have two young children and each time I leave on a hunting trip she is often left alone...

    Once In a Lifetime

    Back to moose hunting. The Day 1 bull was holed up in an area with several cows. Breeding season was fast approaching and the parcel of land he chose to relax with the ladies looked to be off limits to hunting by anyone but the owner. My suspicion was somewhat confirmed by a neighboring...

    Once In a Lifetime

    There's a bit of a back story that I should insert at this point. I didn't pick this area of my hunting unit on a whim. @Flatrock has some family in a different part of the unit that were extremely helpful and generous. They provided "boots on the ground" information that is only gained by...

    Once In a Lifetime

    I wish I could tell you that I found the Day 1 bull the next morning and was able to fill my tag but that didn't happen. Flatrock and I hunted together for another morning and then he needed to head out for an AZ elk hunt. We did see some bulls but not the Day 1 bull. Here's one very photogenic...
