    Hunting & Fishing 2009 Muzzleloader buck

    Well, after a pretty crappy deer season around here, persistence finally paid off. Saturday morning my uncle and I sat while my cousin took a walk through the quiet, morning woods. I saw a flash in the woods as deer were headed toward the field. This guy and a bit smaller 8 or 10 came out at...

    Surgeon actions steel vs SS,older actions are?

    Re: Surgeon actions steel vs SS,older actions are? BMG, I wasn't meaning to bust your balls. Stainless steel crossed my mind for a brief moment when I first looked at the GB. And if it's any consolation, I feel like a dumb ass for commenting that they are made out of the same material when...

    Surgeon actions steel vs SS,older actions are?

    Re: Surgeon actions steel vs SS,older actions are? Are you referring to the SS notation in the group buy? That is for single shot, not stainless steel. All of the actions are produced from the same materials.

    Hunting & Fishing Anyone Using A Vinci?

    Re: Anyone Using A Vinci? I strongly considered trying one when they came out. I do think they are kind of ugly but not being able to run 3.5 inch was the deal breaker for me. I have had too much success with the big turkey loads to give them up. Hence I have stuck with my SBE2 and had...

    300 wsm or .284

    Re: 300 wsm or .284 I have to agree with this one, the 7WSM is pretty close to the best of both worlds. I am having one built as we speak (actually 7mm-300WSM just to make things harder than they need to be!)

    Re: poacher cam! Unfortunately not, I am not sure any game law violations elevate to a felony here.

    300 wby bullets

    Re: 300 wby bullets I shoot 165 gr Swift Sciroccos out of my 300 Wby and have put two elk and a multitude of deer down on the spot. They shoot very accurately out of my gun as well.

    .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308

    Re: .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308 I would love to be able to give you some idea of you might expect for barrel life in a 300 WSM based on those loadings but I haven't shot a barrel out yet so I have no personal experience to base it on. I am sure someone here has some experience...

    Hunting & Fishing First ever spring turkey tag

    Re: First ever spring turkey tag I shoot 3.5 inch 2.25 oz of #5 hevishot. Some might call that overkill and it is if every bird is within 40 yards but sometimes hunting public land, things play out a little differently than you hope and being able to put them down out to 60 or so is not a...

    Hunting & Fishing poacher cam!

    Re: poacher cam! Also, the number of pictures per month depends on what resolution you have uploaded. I picked the highest resolution for best results in identifying scumbags.

    Hunting & Fishing poacher cam!

    Re: poacher cam! We are using the Moultrie I65 Game Spy camera and GPS connect unit. I am using the cheapest monthly plan. I am not looking at it but I believe it is 29.95 per month or something similar.

    Hunting & Fishing First ever spring turkey tag

    Re: First ever spring turkey tag I haven't hunted turkeys out west but if they are anything like Easterns, I might recommend sticking to the scatter gun for your first. Save the archery for after you have one or two under your belt. Trying to bowhunt them is another league from archery...

    Hunting & Fishing poacher cam!

    Re: poacher cam! That's where the photographic evidence is hard to refute. Our DEC officers were very enthusiastic about having a landowner who was willing to lay down the law on these scumbags. They were particularly appreciative of the airtight case that the photos provided.

    Hunting & Fishing poacher cam!

    Re: poacher cam! I am definitely watching out for repercussions despite the fact that they have proven to be quite the rocket scientists. I am sticking to doing things by the book though - this neighbor is a former firefighter who thinks he is all buddied up with local LE. They are all...

    .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308

    Re: .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308 I saw your reply about barrel life in a 300 WSM but that would be my hands down number one choice for this application. You can run heavier bullets, and not as hot loads and your barrel life should be fairly decent. The 300 WSM is also developing...

    Hunting & Fishing poacher cam!

    Since last hunting season, we have been having problems with the neighbor on one side. Their house is abandoned and they just come there to poach and make a mess. I threw some guys off our property last season and let the neighbor know there was to be no hunting on our land. I was basically...

    Hunting & Fishing please help age, id like to harvest this week

    Re: please help age, id like to harvest this week I also say 4.5 years old. He has no sag to his back, despite great spread and points, his rack lacks mass and his legs look too long. Once you get to 5.5 and beyond the legs start to look short and stubby. It would be hard to hold off on a...

    Re: Berger 7mm 168gr Hunting VLD Not the cheapest out there, but Sinclair appears to have them in stock. I got some recently from Midsouth but I see that they are out. I haven't taken anything with them yet but looking forward to it.

    Suppressors my new 460 s&w performance center

    Re: my new 460 s&w performance center I shoot a S&W 500 and they definitely want to carry a scope. I have used both the Leupold 2x and the 2.5-8x. For most purposes the 2x is plenty adequate. My only caveat is to make sure you have a good mounting setup (the integral rail on yours is...
