    Double-tapping with a .243 vs one shot with 30-06?

    What do you think is an appropriate lead free bullet for hunting in California? I was very disappointed with the performance of a Winchester "Copper Impact" 30-06 on a ram I shot last weekend, took multiple shots to the chest with the 30-06, and then some more finishing shots from a sidearm to...

    Double-tapping with a .243 vs one shot with 30-06?

    So, I was thinking that, especially in places that require copper bullets, since a lot of times a powerful 30-06 will pass through the animal leaving a small hole and dumping a lot of the energy into the ground after exiting the animal..... Why not hunt with something like a semi-auto Browning...

    Critique my WY Pronghorn NON-resident tag application

    So, I don't really know what I am doing and I only have two preference points for a buck antelope in WY. I don't care about a trophy, I'd just like a unit with lots of lope and some stalking/shot opportunities. Since I figure I don't have good odds of drawing a good unit with my two points...

    Finding bear in California in the Sierras this November/December?

    Any tips on how I can find a bear before the year ends in the Sierras in Cali this year? I know I should be looking in 3-6k feet of elevation where there are hopefully still some acorns, anything else would be appreciated.

    Was my experience normal...or did I somehow F&#K up?

    Update: I just looked at the statistics from the Nevada Department of Wildlife that are available now regarding my hunt in 2023. https://www.ndow.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2023-Antelope-Harvest-by-Unit-Group.pdf For what my 2023 tag was for, second season ALW for Antelope in Unit 033...

    Wyoming Long Range Turkey with Centerfire Rifle?

    Howdy y'all, I am an adult onset hunter without a lot of turkey hunting experience, forgive me if I seem pretty ignorant. Last year I went on a guided turkey hunt in California and attempted to harvest a turkey by shooting it in the head at close range with an air rifle from a blind, but...

    Marlin 1895 SBL with see thru scope rings?

    Managed to score a new Ruger made Marlin 1895 SBL in 45-70 at Bass Pro recently. It came with an XS ghost ring sight which would be ok if only using the gun for defense against large dangerous game up close, but not really for hunting at 100+ yards like I hope to have the chance to do with it...

    Supplements

    Save your money and don’t risk your health with placebo effect snake oil. Any substance that actually is useful as a performance enhancer either gets banned or made prescription only. You can get all the nutrients you need from eating a good variety of foods. Exercise is the best medicine.

    Non-resident Idaho tag frenzy

    Take a look at the exponential growth in the human population of Idaho: https://worldpopulationreview.com/states/idaho-population It is pretty simple, the human population in Idaho and other Western states keeps growing, meaning more demand for tags from residents, while at the same time more...
