Like 338, I’m in NC and sitka stuff is pretty slim at my store too. I have Cabelas about 30 miles away in SC. Last year they had a surprisingly large amount of sitka stuff in Elevated and Subalpine, even a bunch of womens stuff. This year they’re each carrying maybe 2 racks, 90% Elevated...
I just used the pot that came with my turkey deep fryer. Its skinny enough to keep the skull submerged and the horns above the water. I used aluminum foil loosely covered over the horns to keep them dry and colored. Incidentally if the horns lose some color, brown shoe polish is about the...
I read that once. I can imagine the thought going through that deer’s mind when he got shot. “Seriously, a 25-20?. I thought maybe they’d get me with an -06, but never a 25-20”.
At 1400 fps, he must have shot him at like, 8 yards! 😂
I have a Winchester 1892 in 25-20 hanging on my wall. I’ve never fired it, much less hunted with it, but I’ve always wanted to. That one will teach you to get close too. I bet it could tell stories!
Dave, the advice you’ve gotten seems to be unanimous to get back into the woods in some capacity. Instead of giving you another fortification of what to do, please allow me to offer this. Don't isolate yourself.
Your situation isnt at all pleasant, I’ve been there. To sit alone and dwell on...
I always grill them whole (deer) until rare inside, but trimming the silver off will most likely fix the toughness. My best ones have been frozen and thawed. My worst was only hours after the kill.
Dont you dare grind it. Thats just blaspheme! 😁
If u just want an exceedingly warm jacket thats not expensive, look for one by Zero Xposure. I’m donating one as we speak thats about 8 years old (rough shape). Look for one with a removable liner. I moved from New England to North Carolina 3 years ago and havent worn it much at all. Its the...
I promised a follow up. No good on the first 5 groups .020-.060. COAL is still a bit long so I’ll keep going, 5 more groups, .060-.100 (I’m re-shooting the .060 jump). My hope is 1/2moa. Stay tuned, more to come...
Rock, we worship a good good God! May you be lifted up tonite. May you be blessed and free of the anxiety and fear. Thomas may you experience supernatural healing that only comes from our Lord God, all of the tissues and bones be healed without weakness or a remnant of your injury. We thank...
Working up 270Win with 150gr AB’s, following cahunter’s method above. I got .900” group in the ladder work-up @ .010” off the lands; coal was way long but it fits in the magazine. I have 5 shot groups set up for this weekend in .010” increments. Stay tuned.....
This book will tell ya! 🤣
