hunting

i'd like to take my dad out cow elk hunting and was wondering if anyone has insight on good nonresident hunt areas, if the terrain is rough that isn't an issue, I just need to find somewhere with good public access, and hopefully a few elk thanks, Steve

I have some private land to hunt on down here out on some farm land in northern California. I have taken quite a few coyotes. This property is down in the valley, There is a ton of alfalfa fields and rabbits and squirrels around. The farmer wants me to take out as many yotes and squirrels as I...

Just returned from two weeks pig hunting in outback NSW (state) we visited several properties, starting in the hilly country which ranges from 1500ft ASL to 4070 ASL. We then travelled west into the flat country. All up we shot on 5 different properties in this time. Took my HS Precision Short...

I am ready to hit a couple local places on SE side of state Wednesday. Maybe a little further north toward the weekend. Going to give the new jack in the box a try.

I did a search already for this topic but it didn't turn up the info I need. Basically, I have a 300WSM (custom rifle) with a 1:10 twist barrel. This rifle shoots sub .5 MOA at 100 yards with Sierra 180 MK bullets. The problem is every time I try hunting bullets the groups open up to 1.5-2.0...

This is a vid of a guy getting attacked by a bear because he was taking his lunch out to his car. They need to bring back bear hunting in NJ http://gmy.news.yahoo.com/vid/14282516

After wanting to try one for several years I finally picked up a Arthur Brown 97D falling block rifle in 6.5 BRM. I still have to work up my load but am looking forward to using it this season. I have a ton of 130gr accubonds and 120gr barnes on hand so they will get the first call. At 7.5# as...

Hey guys. I just got my first serious (to me anyway) rifle! I picked up a Remington Model 78 30-06 from an extended family member for pocket change. Some where down the line from new, it got a Ram-Line synthetic R700 ADL stock. I got it with a Bushnell 4x38 scope and Ironsighter rings. I picked...

Anyone bult a hunting rifle with this action ? thinking of a "Non Typical" style rifle in .300 winnie etc. scope is 3.5-15x50 NXS

I just purchased a Tikka M695 in 338 win mag to fill my need for a light-weight hunting rifle for up here. I'm trying to keep the whole setup as reasonable as possible (I paid less than $400 for the rifle NIB ) and I was considering either a Bushnell 3200 or a Sightron SI as reasonably priced...

Hello all. I've searched all over the place for an answer to my very specific question and the best I can come up with still leaves some gray area. I was hoping someone could answer my question or point me toward someone/somewhere that can. Let me quickly summarize my situation. I recently...

OK a while ago there was a thread on the "Non Typical Hunting Rifle" an awsome rifle a real cross over. I want to build a hunting rifle around a scope the "NXS 3.5-15x50" I suppose cal does not matter so much for general specs but personally I am thinking .300 win mag or .338 win mag at this...

In the past I've always just pieced together stuff to hunt in. An old camo jacket with layers of sweaters, shirts and underarmor......cargo pants with two or three layers underneath for warmth. If it was raining I either stayed home or wore a poncho. Having ridden motorcycles for a number of...

Here's a couple of shots from my hunt last week. A really big baboon I shot at 191 yards An impala I shot at around 150 yards off the bipod, you can see the entry wound just above his nose. Another impala that stepped out 10 minutes later, shot went in right under the jaw in the neck...

I need a new day-pack. I'm looking at the Badlands Superday, vs. the new Whitetail Hybrid(nobody seems to have one yet) & the Eberlestock X-1. The X-1 may be bigger than I need, but has the rifle scabbard , & the Badlands have a kinda cheesy rifle mounting system. But I usually carry my rifle in...

Has anyone tried using the same exact Berger bullet with the two different jackets? I have been shooting the hunting VLD's but right now all I can find is the target version. Has anyone experienced any difference in accuracy between the two (driven below 3000 fps)? David

Going up to the high country, Sierra's in a few weeks to hunt Marmots. pretty much a mountain rock chuck. havent decided yet if I feel manly enough to carry my 14 pound .308 tac rifle, my 12 pound .243 or my 7 pound .17hmr. 5 to 6 mile hike, all uphill, switchbacks, 2 night trip, 9600' to...

I have a Les Baer M4 chambered in the 6.5 grendel on order. It comes standard with a 16" barrel and I will be topping it with a 4-16x56 Hensolt. I am sure I have plenty of time to make some adjustments on the gun. I would like to use this gun for hunting and long range shooting. Should I go...

So I was drawn for my first elk hunt here in NV. Done a lot of deer hunting over the years but no elk hunting. Going to check with the BLM and G&F in my hunting area for advice as well but I was wondering if others had ran across good books on elk hunting tactics/trends/etc. Any other advice...

{Yes, I've done a lot of searches and reading, but found nothing quite on topic) I am considering a custom build in 308, Surgeon action and DBM. I'm interested in the pros and cons of a tactical (say, A5) stock vs. a hunting stock (say, HTG or HTG adj). I currently own hunting rifles. I...
