Hey. So I moved the trail cams last week while duck hunting. Still no photos. BUT, tons of fresh bear scat lying around. I went to go and check them yesterday while duck hunting, but.... yeah.... about the river.... When I walked in at 5 AM, the slough was dry. The main river is...

yeah, I'm planning on giving them a crimp. I know it's not a concern really with boltguns, but I still like having the bullets crimped in position. Sort of a belt-and-suspenders kinda guy. Additionally, if I go with the tokarevs, I might use them in a 30-30 load later on, so then it'd be...

I really don't have either of those options. And what I'm trying to do, while not making any sense for you in the Lower 48, makes a ton of sense here. Because of the HAZMAT restrictions to ship stuff from the lower 48, we're boned twice as hard, so we're stuck with a super small selection of...

I can see that being the case, but there are still a few advantages to having a plinker for my 1903A3 that I forgot to mention. One being that if I'm out in some place in the bush I can simply switch to my heavy stuff if I see a bigger critter, like a caribou or Moose. I already do something...

I'm thinking of developing a light, inexpensive varmint load for my M1903A3 for nabbing small game up to and including coyotes and Wolves. My buddy gave me the idea when he developed a load for his Win 70 using the below bullets: Speer Bullets 30 Cal (308 Diameter) 100 Grain Plinker Round...

lol yeah no kidding, I can't wait to get on one of these furred fools. there is a ton of activity back there, and my trailcams have caught nothing! meh, I'll move the cams next weekend when I go duck hunting

So I went out to the bear spot yesterday, and found quite a few interesting things. First, a new trail running northward from my spot with fresh bear poo. took a stick and dug around, and it appears that this particular bear has switched to an herbivorous diet for this final stretch before...

You've made me want to get one. that sounds like a helluva lot of fun

Neat, dude. I'm really curious, out of all the new "Thumper" cartridges, what led you to choose the 458 SOCOM? I'm sure you have an awesome story about that.

Thanks for the advice and the link, gents. Hopefully I'll have it back in shape by the time I need to go out and slay another hapless woodland creature

Man, I saw a Remington 7600 pump in 35 Whelen a few years back on Alaska's List. I had been looking for that particular rifle forever. guy was selling it with a weaver scope for five hundred bucks. I offered to meet the dude at the local gun shop and run a 4473, he said "Nah dude, that's...

You're not alone. My 03A3 cracked open on a bear hunt last month in the exact same spot. Curious, I really don't care what my stock looks like, can I backfill that gap between the receiver and the stock with Bondo, pin the stock together, and call it good? I'm thinking of sanding down the...

VERY true. I run the cheapest stuff I can find and still get great effects. (cheap 220 gr roundnoses out of a 1903A3 will KILL ANYTHING!!!! lol) But if you're like my buddy and want to shoot something like this in the head at 200 meters: Collared pika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it...

Nice, I've been growing ever more concerned with the trail cams, and will likely change them out when my budget allows. I had to swing those moultries because it was the end of the summer, and my research stipend was running out fast(plus I had to buy duck ammo, etc.) Definitely checking out...

Finally have some time to post. WAY too much to do this week with the Veteran/First Responder Art Gallery. Anywho, I decided to walk out to the hunting spot this weekend. The swamp meadows between my truck and the bear spot are atrocious. absolutely atrocious. Just as bad, if not worse than...
