Tuna - San Diego
I went out on a Party Boat many, many years ago and had a BLAST! I 'only' caught two in the 30-ish# range, but it took me over 30 minutes each to bring them to boat, on a 50# rig. Next time out, NADA. Thus is fishing as apposed to catching. Good fishing, Calm seas, and Fair winds to you &...- Gunner46

WuuuHuuu !!! I got 63% on the 1st night. Only KY wounded my longer game, but not fatally. All in all, not my best start, but far from my worst.- Gunner46

March Madness 2022
My 1st time since the HT bracket was opened (how many yrs ago?) I didn't pick Duke to win. It almost feels like I have betrayed my faith !!- Gunner46

7mm-08 reloading question
Just my experience, I spent Months trying to grab a pound of RL-19. Nosler listed it as having the highest velocity with a 140 gr. Turns out it was absolutely pathetic, giving me 200 fps below list from the book with a Max charge. Varget, or RL-15, has worked predictably very well for both my...- Gunner46

7-08 hunting loads
Wow, so many to choose from. 150 Nosler BT, 40.5 gr RL-15 at 2650fps. Used it for years only because I had a boat load of bullets on hand when I switched to the 7/08. 140Nosler BT/AB, 42.5grs Varget at 2760. 120 TTSX, 43.5gr RL-15 at 2915. They all group around 1 MOA, or less, and I've never...- Gunner46

100 bucks or less sunglasses
For me, but maybe not for you, nor anyone else, the most clearly I have been able to see was with polarized Blue blockers. Those are my eyes, not yours. Cost about $20-$ 50.- Gunner46

What are you guys paying for gas?
Dumb A$$ Executive Orders DO affect our nation, as a whole. I didn't vote for the man, along with his policies.......But here is what we have to deal with. Gas was $1.49 less than 2 year ago, now it's $3.39. Energy independence then VS Biben begging the Saudi's to up production, all the while...- Gunner46

New 7mm-08
Straight up, brass tacks advice, from experience...if your going to go light weight-ish.. insure you have a Good recoil pad a recoil pad ! I've shoot & hunted with a light weight 308 & 7/08 for the past 50 years. You'll feel it on the range after a couple dozen rounds sighting in and that recoil... -
Knock Down Power, Spomer nails it !
I think Ron is right on in his conclusion. I have tagged deer & bear with a 20 Ga, 30/30, 35 Rem, yada, yada.... up to a 338 WM. Some were DRT, some not so much.... -

linguica
Can't get it here. If it's not Polish, Italian, or Kolabsa it's not available. Tried to order some on-line but that failed bcz UPS required a signature, but I live in a Secure facility and the jerk wouldn't just walk over to the leasing office. Sooo...my question is can I disguise some Italian...- Gunner46

Boot reviews?
I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but for about 80% of my hunting I'm still using the same "Black Cadillac's" I was issued at Parris Island almost 50 yrs ago. They still have some good tread left, they are definitely broken in, yet still in amazing shape ! (non-snow conditions only) Wet...- Gunner46

Thoughts on using a military surplus ruck sack as a first pack until I can save up for a high quality/value pack for Western Big Game hunting?
I've managed to do just fine with a Desert Storm era Alice Pack for more weeks afield than I care to remember.....with and without the pack frame. Just don't stuff a bunch of crap you'll never use in it. You'd be surprised about what you Think/but Don't really need.....- Gunner46

.44 mag ammo for deer
I can tell you a couple of brands not to waste your time & money on ! UMC 180's and any Blazer ammo. I had a Ruger Black Hawk 8" and was lucky enough to hit on Hydro-Shocks the 1st go round. Some pretty bucks fell to that load. Now I have a Ruger 96 Lever. Wanted to see what would work out of... -

Sad, so Sad, I can't begin to count the # of actual cash buy/sells I've done with members.

Who'Da Thunk ?
How often does a Company surprise you? I've had a problem with a slow leak on a couple of tires. Old aluminum rims just don't hold air well. Had in the shop twice and still there. Today I got off work to find my tire pump on the fritz and needing air. Went to Rieley's got a new one and still...- Gunner46

Old Guns Still used to Hunt, Let’s See Them
My 16th B'day present (1966). More whitetails have graced my table than I have fingers & toes from this little killer. 308. It's LOUD and it KICKS, but it sure does the job. -
300 SAUM & 165 Partition
Not to pop your bubble....but Seriously? Kids, women, Grand Ma's & Pops, RANDY use a 7/08 for elk, with a 140's, all their life and the freezer stays packed. Why would you even question if a 300SAUM and a 165 would be anything short of enough? Numbers on a data sheet don't fill tags. Time... -
