Thanks all. I realize stuff gets edited, but I don't see a reason to load by hand for the sake of the video. The longer bullet scenario makes more sense to me. I personally wouldn't like that for hunting situations though.
I've seen a number of hunting videos where the shooter loads a bullet in one at a time for follow up shots rather than cycling them in with the bolt from the magazine. Usually the shooter is prone and a lot of times it is a long range show, but I've also seen on shows that aren't long range...
Wood burning stoves can be a bit of a pain to lug around, but I've yet to find anything that recharges me mentally like a nice hot fire in the wall tent. They are simply good for the soul.
I don't reload and am not an ammo junky. 2 boxes (40 rounds) is usually what I have for the hunting season. I rarely use more than a half dozen rounds, but that second box is nice peace of mind in case the first came up missing.
Well said. The couple of times I've gone guided for big game (add a couple fishing too), I always wanted to do things a little differently or go harder. Saying that, I'm sure there are a number of sheep guides that would run me into the ground.
Given the Hunt Talk community is largely a public land, do it yourself bunch--I'm interested to know under what scenarios you have or would go on a guided hunt.
I've gone guided as a gift a few times. While still enjoyable it wasn't as fun a doing it on my own. I never have, but would like to...
