Hunting With My Less Accurate Rifles
When I was a teen, my friend made up his own gun from two that were not functional. He attached a bolt action 12 gauge shotgun to a rifle stock with many wraps of wire. The fit was poor and there may have been some safety concerns as well. Accuracy was quite awful. But on opening day, a large... -

Optics/Bullet for First Elk Tag
I wouldn't fret too much about your outfit. 30-06 has been hammering a variety of game across the planet for many decades. But I'll share some advice. Practice shooting 6 inch diameter targets at about 225 yards using makeshift rests from field positions. Accurate shooting brings down game... -

Father/Son Axis Hunt
Both animals are dandy trophies. 204 yards is a long shot to be proud of for sure. I visited the Brady Ranch in central Florida a few years back for a photo safari and we observed dozens of axis deer. But cost factors for a hunt were too expensive for me. TR -

30-30 hunts - Forests & Foothills
I have hunted with 30-30 carbines for many decades. Deadly accurate out to about 150 yards or so which suits my spot and stalk approach to hunting mule deer. This heavy bodied big forky was downed in the Black Hills National Forest before South Dakota implemented antler point restrictions... -

Ultimate Deer Rifle
I prefer to hike several miles from where I park my truck and for this reason a short carbine is often my first choice. This Remington 660 chambered for .308 has served quite well for very long shots out upon the open prairie as well as hunting forests and foothills. The barrel channel has... -

Mule deer in the high country?
Years ago when stationed in northern California with USAF, my friend and I hunted within the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness each September. This beautiful place is located at about 8,500 ft elevation in Alpine County. But the mule deer population is low per square mile because of food sources... -

Piebald buck
This very interesting buck was taken by my cousin (pictured) in western Van Wert County, Ohio near the Indiana line. None of the locals had ever seen this buck before nor any piebald deer since his hunt. Perhaps just a one of a kind animal or else possibly wandered in from Indiana. For... -

Going Soft - RV Advice Needed
For motorhomes, the Ford V-10 engine is an excellent choice. Some of the older motorhomes were equipped with the Ford 460 V-8 that was OK in it's day. TR- T.R.

Best 30 caliber bullet for a grizzly?
My brother spent a summer working for the forest service in grizzly country. His job was to count trees and estimate board feet of lumber for timber sales within western Montana. He had to qualify with a Remington pump action 30-06 shooting 220 grain ammo. Some of the job candidates did not...- T.R.

New from Florida
There are more hunters in Florida than deer by far. Reminds me of the "pumpkin army" from my first hunt in lower Michigan. But squirrels are abundant and small game hunters are few. Wild hog hunting is offered by guided hunts within nearly every county and I have downed quite a few with my... -

New from Michigan's UP
One of my USAF buddies retired to Iron River and I hunted deer with him within a vast National Forest. The name of this forest escapes me. I shot a large bodied 6 pointer with his 35 Remington Marlin lever gun because of the hassle of flying with firearms. It was quite cold but we had a... -

Deer - lets see em
This photo shows me with two dandy blacktail bucks downed within northern California back in the 1990's. At the time, I was stationed at Travis AF Base. I had permission to hunt near a large vineyard in Pope Valley of Napa County. TR
