I think you'll be fine, here in NJ the minimum peak draw weight for a bow is 35lb to efficiently kill deer. As a few others have posted using a cut on contact broad head would be preferred and most efficient. Personally, I use the Slick Tricks Magnums or Vipers, but there are others that will...
I was at a show with a friend who wanted to hunt Africa, so we talked to some of the PH's there. They all asked whether or not he planned on bringing any Weatherby's, after telling no he didn't own any and why ask, they then went on to explain the Weatherby 6 & 9 lug actions have a tendency of...
I have a friend whose 300 WBY had accuracy issues , after i took it apart and looked at it, had the same issue with the front screw, sanded it down and re-bedded it and the accuracy returned!
I have one rifle, my 30-06 in fact, that on a clean bore will put the first shot at the 11 o'clock, 3 inches high every time, after that it settles down to where it should be. I have another one that'll put the first round 2 1/2 inches high at 100. As a few others have stated, no need to clean...
Wow, I'm surprised to see this. Had to go and check their website just to verify. I'm friends with a close cousin of the family that owns Lightfield, why he hasn't said anything to me is shocking. At least I have a few boxes of the 20 gauge slugs and 12 gauge left. I guess when I run out I'll...
If I recall correctly it was an Optika 5 series. I just happened to come across them at a shop and checked it out. As I've stated, don't need a scope...yet.
I believe the rule is to keep at least 100 yards away from all wildlife, if less than that it's considered wildlife harassment. The fact that you can read or hear on the news the multiple incidences of wildlife versus humans, says it all. Big deal, you may get a fine or injured and have to be...
I've used the TTSX quite successfully for a while now. Tried the E-tips in a couple of calibers, they just didn't shoot as well , but others I know have gotten better accuracy. Hammers are the next on my list to try, I've heard nothing but great things about them.
Anyone ever use or has a Meopta riflescope they like? Was looking at one the other day, thought it was a nice scope, with good glass. Not that I have a need for one, (as of yet), but was just wondering if anyone uses one on a regular basis.
Every time I go into the woods, whether to scout, hunt, fish, or do some photography, I look for and try identify a new edible plant. The obvious berries of all varieties are great finds, the wood sorrel is my next favorite and rose hips are fantastic as well.
I had 2 experiences with grizzly bears, the first took place back in September of 2016, I was hunting the backcountry in Sunlight Basin and on one particular morning woke up to 3" of snow on the ground and grizzly tracks all around my tent, the second encounter took place last year in the same...
I believe most of us feel this way after a few days off, as others have posted, be grateful for what you got, health, family, etc. Life is a roller coaster, make the most of it and enjoy it.
As some others have stated, if it's an OTC tag, go to the wedding, if it's a tag you've spent years working on getting...I'm going hunting, and knowing my wife, she wouldn't even argue with me over it, she would agree with me.
I sighted my Marlin in at 100yds., and have shot it out to 150, use a scope on it now, as others have stated, the eyes aren't what they used to be. As for the Hornady Whitetail ammo, it has shot well and delivered good results for a couple of my friends, I've never personally used it, but that's...
There are many out there right now in the price range you're looking to spend, Excalibur, TenPoint, Wicked Ridge, Mission , just to name a few. That being said, yes get one with a scope, avoid Barnett crossbows, ( I know too many hunters that purchased a Barnett and had nothing but issues). If...
