    Anyone made the switch from a compound to crossbow?

    An unhealed elbow injury ruined my bow hunting until crossbows became legal. This young meat doe never knew what hit her. My crossbow is an older Ten Point purchased second hand for a very fair price. - TR

    .308 has always worked well for me. I shoot twice into the chest and they fall soon after. - TR

    Men I Knew, Who Hunted Thier Entire Lives, With Just One Rifle.

    50 years ago, I was a teen living in rural Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Many hunts took place with a man from our church named Harry Freed. He was a steel worker in Beaver Falls and worked hard to provide for his family. Harry hunted deer and bears with his 300 Savage levergun which had a...

    Just purchased a 1894 win 25-35.

    My Uncle Harold and Aunt Lilian lived in rural Mifflin County, Pennsylvania all of their lives where they enjoyed hunting deer and bears very much. Aunt Lillian hunted with a cut down Remington slide action in 25 caliber and many deer and a couple bears were downed with it. The 25 Remington...

    Red Stag

    I'd love a hunt in Romania for fallow deer and red stag but cost factors are too high for a retiree like myself. But fallow deer are widespread at ranches across USA. They're even hunted in Florida!

    Red Stag

    I hunted in southern Ohio at high fence ranch. Most folks assume that Ohio is flat, but the southern areas near Kentucky and West Virginia are quite steep. - TR

    Red Stag

    Would anyone else care to give praise to the .308 ?

    This Black Hills muley was downed with one shot at approx 225 yards or so. Savage .308 is a keeper! TR

    They just don't build beautiful hunting guns like they used to.

    This handsome .308 is super accurate with 150 grain ammo by FEDERAL. - TR

    A bolt action carbine, simple scope, varied handloads, good for everything.

    I've had very good luck across the decades with my 660 carbine in .308 topped with 2-7X scope. This big forky was taken within the Black Hills Nat'l Forest of western South Dakota.

    Would anyone else care to give praise to the .308 ?

    I sent my 99 Savage to MagnaPort in Michigan and their process did not even mar the blueing at all. The result is complete elimination of muzzle jump with reduced recoil. - TR

    Solid Entry Level Crossbow

    This older Ten Point has been downing deer for me since 2008. It's a keeper! This hunt took place in northern Maryland where deer are abundant and hunters are few. - TR

    Do you own a scout rifle? Is it worth getting one?

    This is my well used .308 Remington carbine. - TR

    Would anyone else care to give praise to the .308 ?

    I'm a huge fan of the .308 cartridge as offered in lever action rifles. Very handy to carry all day yet has the power, reach, and accuracy to down big game animals within reasonable distances. - TR

    Pork in the freezer

    Another Florida wild hog for the freezer! This one weighed in at about 90 lbs. Typically, I hunt these tasty animals with my 30-30 but my elk rifle hadn't been out for awhile. .308 is actually way too much power for these hogs but it got the job done! -TR

    Deer rifles for young hunters

    If typical shots within your region tend to be 150 yards and less, look no farther than a good 30-30 carbine set up with a 2-7X scope. My friend's son swears by his Glenfield 30-30! TR
