My son and I took the dog and the shotguns for a walk this morning at the Cooke Canyon Hunt Club near Ellensburg Washington. We found six birds and brought down 5 of them! My son used his lightweight 28 gauge CZ double and steel 6's. I used the 1930's 12 gauge Remington 32 over & under with...
Put my 6.5 Creed Bergara Carbon Ridge into a new Boyds stock last night and got out to the gun club this morning to check the zero. Lovin' the new stock! It came with aluminum pillars and was had a barrel channel just big enough to free-float the carbon wrapped Bergara barrel. Looks good and...
Walking the bird dog this morning... We found a bird! Eagle was very cooperative about posing for photos. He was perched overlooking the Wenatchee River, Chelan County Washington. Eagles and osprey both like that river and the Columbia as well.

Was out to walk my dog north of town today and was fortunate enough to find five rams hanging out together. They were pretty cooperative about posing for photos. I was less than 100 yards from them and the sun was just about perfect for photography. Perhaps someday I'll draw the tag. Until then...
For those who don't know, I work with Gavin Gear at Ultimate Reloader. It's a website and a YouTube channel. It's his baby, he created it about ten years ago. He's brought a few of us on to help him during this past year. He pays me to handload, shoot, write about it, make firearms related...
"The only factory load which, in our records, established a 100 percent effective record of deer stopping, over a five-year survey period, was the U.S.C. Co 145 grain Hollow-Copper Point, later loaded by Winchester. Even when handloaded to velocities as low as 2600 f.s.m.v. or to as high as 3100...
Have had requests for some of my load data. I'm just going to keep on referring those detailed questions to the loading manuals where there's all sorts of great info. That's where I get my load data - other folks can as well.
I'll often mention the bullet I used, maybe the powder, and if it's...
Sorry - I see that this topic has been thoroughly explored here before.
I don't see a way to delete the post though, I just edited out all the content.

Today I took a young man on his first bird hunt. His dad is an old law-enforcement friend of mine and can't walk real well right now, so I took him.
Maverick pointed five pheasants, sadly I missed one and the young fellow couldn't shoot because I was in the way. So, we got four. Maverick...
Just to get everyone interested in hunting this season, a buck I photographed a few weeks ago:
What are you using for whitetail this year? And where are you going? If I get out for them, it will be here in Washington state.

This 64 year old with a bum leg managed to stalk & shoot the buck. :)
About 150 yards. One shot. Handloaded 160 gr Sierra Game King at about 3050 fps from the 7mm Rem Mag. I was in a modified sitting/kneeling position on a steep slope. Wrapped the Montana Sling around my arm to steady the...
