I knew it was a 'when, not if' situation with CWD but that day finally came. Georgia DNR sent out a notification yesterday declaring the first case of CWD in a wild deer. Tennessee and Alabama both have documented cases of CWD so I expected when it came to come from the north or northwest corner...
I've always wondered, but never been in the position to be affected by variations in bullet shape causing inconsistency in POI. I don't shoot long range or competitively or anything like that but I do have a small range of my own where I can shoot at "extended hunting ranges" (I've got gongs on...
I have an older style model 7 that I decided to put a new scope on. I'd already bought the scope but when I got around to mounting it I started running into problems finding mounts and based that would match the old style hole pattern on the receiver, but would fit a 30mm tube. I hit the easy...
Twas the night before Turkey season
And all through the house
I lie in a cold sweat
With food poisoning throughout
My vest was hanging by the doorway with care
In hopes that old hickory would soon be in there
My shotgun was loaded, with one in the chamber
Just kidding.. this is hunt talk
And...
Saturday brought the end of a saga. To quote the late col Tom Kelly "I wished I could breathe life back into him" it's the bittersweet nature of hunting. I saw this buck for the first time in January of '20. I dint see him in all of the 21-22 season and only got about a dozen pictures of him in...
I'm trying to pick out a new set of waders, and I haven't bought any in several years. I'm interested in breathable waders, but I have zero experience with them. 95 percent of my duck hunting will be done in relatively warm climate so they don't need to be in super insulated. I'd rather not go...
I've seen several people on here that post about shooting a 7saum, and I'm wondering about your ammunition sources. I have one that I haven't been able to shoot in years for fear of not being able to resupply my ammo. Are you guys reloading? Or are you buying from a custom loader? I know nosler...
I've seen rumors online about another proposed red wolf reintroduction in North Carolina, but it seems that there are too many people with too many opinions to get to any concrete information. I read in one article that out of the last group released seven were ultimately hit by cars (my guess...
I’ve tried, I thought I had them figured out, but they’re just not working for me. I have 30 rounds of factory 7mm-08 e tips for sale. I think I paid $55 per box so if you’ll give me $75 I’ll send the two original boxes, 30 rounds and if you’d like I’ll leave the 10 once fired pieces of brass...
They work.
And in the spirit of those big boy social media whitetail hunters I have a gear break down.
Food plot: forage oats (for muh moocows)
Camo: wrangler
Scent control: wind
Tree stand/saddle: hydraulic oil bucket
Shot details: laying on my tummy
On a serious note, I started to get...
I shot a doe tonight with an e tip for the first time. Normally I'd go for a high neck or a head shot but I decided to do some live animal testing. 75ish yards, perfect broadside, right in the armpit. Deer takes off very little blood, find her piled up down the field road not far away. I roll...
I am the proud owner of a rifle with an obsolete chamber. The 7mm saum. Ive run the numbers, and for the cost of six boxes of ammo I can buy all the supplies to load my own ammo. It's that or put a new barrel on and I'm leaning .300 wsm. To those of you that have, know somebody that has, or have...
I looked around for a while trying to find some info on the unit but there is t much available. I picked up a December cow tag in the secondary draw and I'd just like a little general info on the unit. How are the roads? is it eat up with people? Is there a pretty strong population of elk? I...
I bought a few boxes of the 140 grain etips a few months ago for my 7mm-08, and they shot great at one and two hundred yards but once I stretched it out to three hundred the groups went absolutely wild. (I'm talking nine or ten inches here) so I moved back to 200 and was shooting in the one to...
I've been looking at a barbary sheep hunt in New Mexico, and I'm wanting to upgrade my binoculars. With that said, in your opinion, am I better off spending my entire optics budget on glass? Or, should I downgrade the glass to afford a tripod?
Will the benefit of the stabilized optics outweigh...
