I understand people getting frustrated, but that would seriously piss me off to have a dog step on one of those!! Heck, what about some guy taking a young kid out who may not have super sturdy boots that could stop one of those from going into their foot??
An all too familiar story I’m afraid. Unless a person heads out directly from their home they most likely used a road and vehicle to get them someplace. Its how far they continue to push it that irritates me. When I see an abandoned two track that doesn’t look like it’s been traveled on in...
I voted for your Sako, but the cartridge had nothing to do with it. I just prefer wood stocks and blued rifles. Good luck hunting with whatever you choose.
Location definitely has something to do with it. I went to a local Walmart the other day to grab a couple of things in the paint and hardware section. Walked past the sporting goods counter and not a box of anything to be found as far as ammunition goes. My daughters boyfriend lives a...
Apples to Oranges here, Jeep vs Ford. TFL did a video a couple months ago on the new Gladiator Hybrid that you can plug in, run as a hybrid or totally gas or totally electric. I’m going from memory here, but in town and on the hwy I think they ended up getting somewhere in the mid to high 20...
For a fixed blade take a look at the Buck 102. I know some people prefer a longer blade when actually cutting up an animal but for skinning and quartering I like a shorter blade and the 102 is plenty long enough. If you’re a person who has a preference for blade steel, they have some...
I have 2 Kimber Classics, one in a .300 WSM, the other a 7mm-08. Both shoot very well and are a joy to carry in the field. I also prefer wood stocks and blued rifles. At this point I guess it comes down to your preference in wood vs synthetic. Either way I hope you enjoy whichever one...
I read an article several years ago, about 2 or 3 years after Washington outlawed hound hunting. Two guys sorta stumbled onto a successful method by accident. Once they cut fresh tracks in the snow driving logging roads they would start to trail it. One guy would hang back 100 yards or so...
If you shoot me a PM with an email address I'll send you a photo of a mount a friend had done. It is a really cool concept. I'd love to share it with everyone on the forum but I wouldn't put it on the internet without his permission. Just sort of a thing I have about courtesy.
Sometimes a gun just doesn't want to shoot. A buddy has a Sako .300 Win Mag. The absolute only factory load that would ever shoot was the Winchester Fail Safe in a 180. He tried virtually every boat tail bullet he could lay his hands on to reload and nothing. He could get a Nosler...
Can't help you on the varmint Kimber but I have a Classic in .300 WSM and another in 7mm-08. I know there's been some issues here and there but I have nothing but good things to say about mine.
I've found that bullet and load charge seem to be the two biggest factors for me. I'm loading for hunting rifles so anything that'll shoot under an inch consistently at 100 yards and carry that out to 300 is solid in my books. I have had rifles that didn't like a particular bullet worth a...
Very cool! I've seen a few while hunting but have never had the opportunity to take one. Two questions, what specific bullet did you use and what are you going to do with the cat? Rug or mount?
That is great! My Grandfather is 100 now, but lives in a retirement home in Glasgow. He shot his last deer at 90 on the banks of the Missouri where the Milk dumps into it. Had his eyesight not failed I’m pretty sure he could’ve hunted another 4 or 5 years but that would’ve been it due to...
