    What do you wish hunting had?

    I would start with factory fresh hip and both shoulders. A list of things I just don’t do any longer makes me want to rethink a few life style choices I’ve made along the way.

    I couldn’t agree more about that fillet blade. I want to use it on fish though. A pkg with a couple blades longer and shorter or even a pair the same length. Having a fresh razor halfway through a bucket of panfish would be nice.

    Audio Books/Podcasts on the Road Recommendations

    Dan Carlin Hardcore History will eat those hours up. History on Fire is similar, host has a heavy Italian accent that takes a bit to get your ear tuned to. But its worth it, similar to Hardcore History not as long generally with different topics. Adam Corolla has a few shows Carcast is my...

    Bolt Action Rimfire

    I’ve heard much the same about the CZ. It was my choice till I thought about the Tikka and perhaps commonality between it and it’s bigger brother.

    Caliber suggestions.

    Couldn’t make up my mind. I’ve picked up both .257WBY and 7-08 in the last couple seasons. The 7-08 is a Ruger compact geared more towards a kid, but it is as handy as it could be. If I weren’t of Shrek proportions he might never handle it, as it is I’ll carry it around a bit till he grows a...

    Making your own grips, butt plates, handles, parts from old clothing

    I’ve always liked micarta grips. Those look nice, particularly the burlap.

    Bolt Action Rimfire

    Tikka in 300win mag. It looks like the safety is similar, only rifle I’ve had in hand is a thick carbine affair. Not that I have anything against short and thick, but the 300 is a lite model.

    Bolt Action Rimfire

    I’ve been thinking I should get a solid .22 rifle. Been getting by with a semi auto Marlin for quite a while, it’s an okay plinke, w/ lousy sights and a receiver dove tail that won’t hold a scope in place for love nor money. I lean towards one of the CZ Trainer types, or the Tikka. My...

    Optics/Bullet for First Elk Tag

    Has anyone mentioned upgrading to a scope with CDS (or equivalent). Couple that with a good quality rangefinder and you’ve overcome many of the things that the 30-06 starts failing at. Witness the rise of smaller cartridges used for all species. Magnums dealt with maximum point blank range...

    Matching the gun, with the game country and the game animal.

    I was thinking SnapOn and automotive stuff. You don’t see mechanics reaching for their 12” extension every time they grab a ratchet they get what the sit calls for. That’s not to say they can’t make do either. Have you seen some of the roll cabinets out there? Electrified, WiFi enabled, a...

    Hunting deer Illinois

    I grew up in Illinois, Vermillion Cty. It’s been quite a while but Kennekuk Cove County Park was very good for public access. Across the Middlefork River (west) is Middlefork State Fish and Wildlife area. Harvested as many as 6 deer a year in those woods. I preferred KCCP, as I worked there off...

    Matching the gun, with the game country and the game animal.

    I agree that the game and terrain dictates the weapon. Deep northwoods bear and whitetail call for Marlin 1895. Rockies Elk mean a Tikka lite in 300 Winmag. Weatherby in .257Weatherby is waiting on a Pronghorn hunt. There is a Ruger Hawkeye Compact 7mm/08 waiting on my grandson to take his...

    Perfect cooler for a elk....

    This has swallowed 5 quartered elk in the past. It’s become a must bring cooler for us.

    Question on proper layering

    Next to skin I’m a pretty big fan of military “waffles” when it gets cold. I’d probably suggest a warmer hat too, unless you have a hood at your disposal.
