Re: Everyone Wanting to do Long Range Hunting? Most people that would take an 800 yard shot would have trouble getting the bullet to hit within 20 feet of the critter. Then there are those that know they can do it and are fully capable of hitting the x on a paper target at that distance who...

Re: This guys' Ground Hog totals Not particularly amazing. Hunted a place that was 17,000 acres and even though we hunted it hard every year we never did get all the hogs. What people fail to realize is whistle pigs are actually woods critters with an affinity to openings. Their natural...

Re: The one that got away. Having one like that walk is part of hunting. I have had a number of book critters live to see another day, it is part of the experience of hunting. Some I have missed some just gave me the slip. A few didn't though and that is enough.

Re: Mink! Mink are all over and most people never suspect it. One of my hunting spots I frequently see mink. I see their tracks in the snow behind where I work and it is just a ditch line in a built up area. If there is food and cover they will be there. You probably saw a weasel not a...

Re: Neck Shots, advantages, disadvantages Have found more than a few dead deer with neck/head wounds. Always wondered why until I ran into a guy at the range shooting his "slug" gun before the season. Vent rib barrel with a scope. He could hold a 6" group at 50 yards and said that was good...
