    Night Vision NV and Shotgun

    Here in KY the state legislature has recently passed a bill that allows for hunting coyotes at night. The caveat is that it must be done with a shotgun. In the day time that isn't a problem at all. Many coyote hunters I know locally prefer a shotgun for coyotes because the close distances are...

    Hunting & Fishing My First Deer

    My first deer. Taken in NE Wyoming in the Black Hills. 101 Yards. He was chasing a doe hard in the timber, and stopped in the only shooting lane I had, for just long enough for me to pull the trigger. Shot with a 7mm-08 (Barnes TTSX). It wasn't as good a shot as one would want (I broke his back...

    Hunting & Fishing Wyoming Goat and Coyote

    This was my second hunt with the very excellent G-Man Outdoor Adventures, hunting in Northeastern Wyoming, both in the Black Hills and the open plains, for pronghorn. But this trip was different than last year. Being that I put my buck on the ground before 10am on the first day of a 3 day hunt...

    Gunsmithing Need a smith for Stock Inletting

    I have a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle LSS that I bought a replacement stock for. The new stock, a B&C Alaskan, needs a small bit of inletting work for it to fit properly. I can get the rifle in the stock (with a bit of work), but it's a smidge off and I can't load the magazine (bullets pop out...

    Rifle Scopes 2(ish)-12(ish) Scope Options

    I'm looking to scale down on my 6.5 Grendel glass (an IOR 3.5-18x50) to something more like a 2(ish)-12(ish) magnification range. What are some options? I'm looking for FFP. Most other options (zero stop, etc) are optional. The one I like best so far is the IOR 2.5-10x42 FFP with the MP8...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Valdada 2.5-10x42

    I have an IOR Valdada 3.5-18x50 and I really dig it. It's tough, and has all the goodies one could want in a reliable scope. But I'm coming to the conclusion that it's too much scope for my 6.5 Grendel AR and am looking for something smaller. I'd like to hear from anyone with any experience...

    Hunting & Fishing Hog Hunting Questions

    I'm looking to go hog hunting and have a few questions, so to the brain trust I shall submit. Background: I've never hunted hogs before. I'd be glad to hunt hogs wherever they are plentiful whether it be Texas, Florida, Georgia, or wherever. I'm in KY where hogs are few and far between (and I...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight scopes

    I'm looking for a scope on my hunting rig that will be silly light. 3-9x is preferable, though 2-7x or thereabouts would probably work just as well. I've seen the Leupy ultralights and those look nice, but I'm looking to see what other options exist in this market.

    Hunting & Fishing Turkey Calls

    I'll be turkey hunting for the first time this fall and have a question about turkey calls. What might be an appropriate call for a newbie to LOCATE gobblers? I've seen the "gobbler" calls (the ones that you shake), but it seems that they are not nearly as common as crow, owl, or hawk calls...

    Hunting & Fishing 4x4 Side-by-side

    I'm looking in to getting a 4x4 side-by-side (like the mule or teryx) and I'm looking for some info from guys who use them. I've never used one before. I'm looking for a 2 seater. My AO is Kentucky with some extremely rugged and wet terrain, ranging from mountains to nasty farm fields to old...

    Bravo Co. MK12 MOD0 uppers

    I'm looking to get a 5.56 gas gun that would be good for competition (tactical as a secondary weapon and perhaps a 3 gun rifle), adn I'm looking hard at getting something SPRish. I'm not looking to get an exact build with identical parts to the REAL MK12 MOD0, but something reasonably close...

    Hunting & Fishing First Coyote

    And he's a HUGE song dog (though he may be a coydog - he has coyote feet, ears, tail, scat and fur, with what looks like a dog snout and some stout legs). EDIT: At the local weigh in for a regional coyote competition, he weighed in at an official 57.5 lbs. Of the 7 people there, 4 thought he...

    Rings and Bases for Hunting

    I'm looking to try and keep my new hunting rifle as light as possible. Currently there is a NF Direct Mount on it and I've run in to the dreaded "can't move my scope back far enough" syndrome sometimes associated with integrated base/rings. What base/rings might you recommend (30mm scope)...

    Boooooooooooooo Remington!

    So after a coyote hunt last week where I lugged my absolutely wonderful yet wholly woods-inappropriate Cooper Phoenix in Tac 20 (26" Varmint barrel) through the hills of Land Between the Lakes, KY, I QUICKLY decided that I needed not only a coyote appropriate caliber (the Tac 20 fills that niche...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a Good Coyote Scope

    I'm in the market for a good coyote scope for EASTERN coyote hunting (the reason I mention it is because eastern coyote hunting and western coyote hunting are different sports). Shots more than 200 yards are few and far between, and most shots are within 60-75 yards. Most of our stands are in...

    Rifle Scopes SS 1-4x HD Questions

    I have 2 questions about the new SS 1-4x scopes. 1. Are they shipping to customers yet? If not, is there an eta? 2. Does anyone have a graphic of the Donut Reticle subtentions (mil)? 3. I only have experience with 1 1-4x scope (Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x w/ Green Traingle), and I absolutely...

    Hunting Rig in Process

    Just ordered all of the components for my first hunting rifle. I'm not quite the athlete I was in my formative years, so I've purposefully elected to go as light as possible within the parameters of my current budget and desires. Remington 700 Mountain (l)ss in 7mm-08 (Stainless action) 22"...
