Hunting & Fishing Interesting Story on Alaskan Wolves
Re: Interesting Story on Alaskan Wolves my cousin and best chum growing up lives in Couer D'Lene (or however you spell it) Idaho. He gave up gun hunting a few years back when he noticed every time he shot a deer or other animal, the local wolf packs would home in on the gunshot sound and...- jayd4wg

Hunting & Fishing Best slug for smoothbore? Choke?
Re: Best slug for smoothbore? Choke? that's the one part I forgot to mention. I really see no desireable benefit for going to 3" unless you are a masochistic recoil aficionado. The recoil delta from 2.75" and 3" (and even 3.5" if your gun eats them) is significant, and downrange performance...- jayd4wg

Hunting & Fishing Best slug for smoothbore? Choke?
Re: Best slug for smoothbore? Choke? i'll second "Smoothbore ONLY?!?!?" never heard that one, just sounded odd. I've seen many states/areas that are shotgun only with slugs only and no buckshot, but never a specification on smoothbore. IN any case to answer your question, assuming this IS...- jayd4wg

Hunting & Fishing Shotgun slugs - Hornady SST bullet at 2000fps?
Re: Shotgun slugs - Hornady SST bullet at 2000fps? I've tried a few scopes on my mossberg, and have gone back to the POS that came with the gun package 15 or so years ago. I've busted 2 red dots (one barska, one bushnell rebadge job), and a couple other cheap 3-9x40's. I'd say that BH04 is...- jayd4wg

Hunting & Fishing Shotgun slugs - Hornady SST bullet at 2000fps?
Re: Shotgun slugs good stuff guys, thanks for the input. I'm thinking most of the previous hooplah about the entry sized exits and full pass thru's were likely with the actual SST bullets and the FTX's were put substituted with current inventory of the sabot cups...once the rifling engages...- jayd4wg

Hunting & Fishing Shotgun slugs - Hornady SST bullet at 2000fps?
Re: Shotgun slugs from the looks of pics on his page, the image of the back of the gas seal looks like it was attacked by a dull beaver. on the contrary, i've picked up spent "birdies" from my slug "rifle" and they do not have the piranha markings... I'm not in a big hurry to hacksaw my...- jayd4wg

Hunting & Fishing Where do you leave your guts and scraps?
Re: Where do you leave your guts and scraps? I gut them in the woods away from my stand, and away from landowner dwellings/trails. mother nature takes good care of the buffet quickly. I dropped a doe in the backyard a few weeks ago, left the gut pile 25 yards off the edge behind my wood...- jayd4wg

Hunting & Fishing Shotgun slugs - Hornady SST bullet at 2000fps?
Re: Shotgun slugs I just found out another little interesting tidbit about the hornady slugs... they are no longer stuffed with SST slugs, but with 300gr FTX slugs instead. THis changed this year, and is evident with the price drop of the slugs. they were running about 14 a box, now down...- jayd4wg

screwed up big and went out to get food for my shotty yesterday...shelves were picked clean. Finally found two boxes of hornady SST's for good price (12 bucks a box) so i snatched them up. Fired 2, they touch at 50 yards, adjusted scope to 1.5" high at 50, dead at 100 or close to it, and can...- jayd4wg
