    Budget priced scopes-any suggestions?

    E-Bay is always a good place to look when budget is an issue. I just had a look and there is a brand new Leupold VariXII 2X-7X up for bids right now...last I saw it was at $147. A bit outside your budget, but if your patient and check regularly I'm sure you could do better there on your $100...

    Broadheads for my wife??

    I'm sure this has probably been asked in the past but I'm gonna ask anyway. I need some opinions on some good light 75 or 85 grn broadheads. My wife has decided she wants to give hunting a try, starting with bear this spring. She's been shooting 3-d for a year and is shooting really well. Her...

    Tissue damage and multiple hits

    I have taken and helped take many, many moose, shot with everything from a 303 british, up to a 338 mag. Seen multiple hits many times. The bottom line is if you hit a broadside animal in the ribs once, or ten times, there should be no meat lost. You hit shoulder and your gonna get some...

    taxidermy costs?

    I am wondering what the cost of taxidermy is where you live? How much for a deer shoulder mount for example? Would it be worth the hassle to you to ship it to Canada if it could be done cheaper here? I am going to be unemployed fairly soon (mill shuttin down) and am probably going to go get...

    Legal 3 browtine Moose...

    Legal tripalm bull (thats what they call them here) is quite simple. It must have three points below the deepest valley at the bottom of the palm. Its hard to mistake the fronts for part of the palm. Only thing to be careful of is that to be a point it must be 1" long, but the width of the base...

    160 grn nosler for 270

    Anyone tried the 160grn nosler partition in their 270? Any idea on a muzzle velocity with a max, or close to max loading of powder? I'm looking to load for moose and mule deer. I don't want to go with the lighter bullets for deer and then have to sight in again every time I wanna chase moose, so...

    Hunttalk's youngest member?

    Great pics... love to see them out that young! My two kids are 3 and 4. I bought them both real small,low poundage recurves with some real light small diameter carbons. They can both shoot without any assistance now, and hit the target consistently up to 10yds, so in 2 weeks they will get to...

    30-30 carbine- Still King of the deer woods?

    My wife is talking about getting into hunting, I figured I'd start her out with my 30-30, would you recomend the 150, or 170 grain bullet for mule deer? I've had the gun for a while, bought it off a buddy who needed some cash, never really shot it. Whats the drop gonna be with that 170grn bullet...
