    Hunting & Fishing Monster whitetails getting some APA airation

    Everyone has their idea of what they like or don't like. I've hunted whitetail with everything to include my Ridgeback and a knife. For that reason I won't hunt anything with a knife ever again. That being said it's whatever people get out of whatever they do. I hunt for myself and don't ask...

    Hunting & Fishing Monster whitetails getting some APA airation

    Yeah they are high fence. Those guys don't just grow on trees. 20 years ago they said a big deer for them was 160". Just goes to show you what you can do with the right program and management in place. You can see some of the little guys running around in the footage I have. That's what...

    No it's not like that at all. The deer are tagged when they are fawns and cut loose on the ranch. The colored tags let them know how old it is. The two I shot hadn't been seen in weeks. My lucky TX Huntco hat draws them in every time.

    It was time for the annual deer smack down at the Timberghost Ranch this year. Normally I'm sitting behind the camera but this year things were a little different. Here are this months Berger testing results: 292" 280" I don't know what the score was on...

    Here is the photo we took of it: The wood projects are always nice to look at when you are done but make you pull your hair out some times in between.

    Robert Gradous does it again!

    Well al is well that ends well. Looks like a great rifle.

    Jim, I think it's the screw between the butt stock and the trigger that was loose not the ones you referred to.

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    I've gotten plenty of "love" on the March scopes that I have. While I haven't tried to beat one to death like a USO I haven't had any issues to speak of.

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    The 215 Hybrid people swear by including some very important people in NC whom I value their opinion. That being said it's a "target bullet".

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    I've shot a lot .......with a lot. I would say this is the first time I've seen a barnes less than perfect typical performance but they are a tuff bullet and aren't cut out for the long range gig. Regardless of their performance the BC is way too low to consider them in any sort of distance...

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    Unfortunately a Butler Creek set. They seem to be good for about one hunt if you are hump'n it. Something will be screwed up on one of them by the time you make it home. I thought about making some metal ones here when we have some free time which will pretty much be never.

    Its a carbon fiber Manfrotto. It's one of their heads I just don't know what it's called. Here are last nights results:

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    I was hunting private property. I really didn't have a guide. I was hunting with some other hunters that knew the property. The property was in Folsom. I'd love to try the 215's but Berger has discontinued them. I know some folks that have tested them extensively in gelatin and on...

    A word to the wise.......Barnes bullets don't open up well at 1107 yards. They did the job but there wasn't a ton of damage. He was dead on his feet it just took him a few minutes to get the memo even though I went through both lungs. I'm going to do some limited work with the Bergers this...

    Its just a 300 Ackley improved cartridge. (Blown out to a 40 deg shoulder is all). Here is a photo packing him out. You pack 3 of these off of a mountain in two days and you'll be hard pressed to keep a smile on your face for a photo.

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    I don't take pills unless I'm really jacked up! The rifle is one of our MeatStick rifles chambered 300 Ackley. I was shooting the 180 Barnes TTSX and really had no plans on putting one out in the wind past 700 but the elk didn't get the memo. I passed this bull up 2 days prior but in the...

    Hunting & Fishing NM Elk hunt

    I just got back from an Elk hunt in NM. Thought you guys might like to see the pics. I'm still trying to get my nose and lungs back in shape after hunting in dry air at 9000 ft for a week. It's a big difference from 700 ft. The rifle in the photo with the elk isn't what I used to shoot...

    Hunting & Fishing Latest Africa Hunt - 2013

    There are two models of the 88B for larger calibers I thought. The PH or the Safari package. Of course you can add to or take a few things off of either one. I was just curious if it was the "safari" addition or the PH with some upgrades. I thought the standard 88B was only available in...
