    Any drone flyers ?

    I had an electric scale model Piper Cub. One day I flew out over the reservoir and was following behind (300 yards) some pelicans. As I flew over shore the neighbor kid ripped loose with his 12 gauge. I wondered if he was shooting at the pelicans. So I gave it another 200 feet in elevation...

    New Montana AIS Permit -Starts May 19

    It would be more important to add it to a boat license. My hooks don't have much for invasive species attached. Especially since the flies I buy will be in a Montana store.

    Anyone seeing Orioles or Hummingbirds yet ?

    So far none in Jamestown. Not seeing much for warblers this spring either. Three years ago my yard was overrun with warblers at this time. A couple of species were new sightings for me.

    Carp spawn

    I seen a guy yesterday with over 100 laid out on the bank. I wish I had taken a picture. I have never seen one guy kill that many. We were trying to fish walleye, but it was impossible to get your hook past the buffalo sucker. I landed eight on rod and reel. All bigger than I have ever shot...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    In one 6.5 Creedmoor I shoot Hornady ELD-X and in the Savage with a Criterion barrel I shoot Berger VLDs. I shoot 212 gr VLDs in my 300 mag. The reason for shooting them isn't because they are a tough bullet, but because they open at low velocities at long range. The reason for heavy is not...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    No, that isn't what I was comparing. Wrong on both cases. I was using 30 caliber. Weight makes no difference to wind, only ballistic coefficient. A 200 gr 30 caliber bullet with a ballistic coefficient of .435 will drift the same as a 100 gr smaller caliber with a ballistic coefficient of...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    BC .395 at 3200 fps 600 yard drift with 10mph wind is 26.4 inches BC .633 at 3000 fps at 600 yards drift with 10 mph wind is 16.2 inches. Aim directly at a deer heart at 600 yards and I would much rather have the BC of .633 Velocity and BC both are important, but as you notice the...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    Jack O'Connor's favorite load was 60 gr of H4831 under a 130 gr bullet. Today that load is reduced to 59 gr in most books. Jack O'Connor was considered the father of the 270 Winchester. He and Elmer Keith were always at each other about the 270. Keith didn't think anything would kill elk...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    Exactly:) Bow hunting spoiled me. For years I kept rifle hunting interesting by using different cartridges including the old 45/70. I was always trying something different to keep it interesting. My first long range I think was a little over 660 yards. Not much for range finders then, but I...

    .270 Win Load Recommendations?

    For years I used 130 gr in my 270. Then one year I wanted to stretch it a bit. So I used a load from the XXXXXX Manual with a 150 Berger VLD. Back when we could buy extra doe license I dropped a doe and her fawn at 825 yards and 865 yards. I'll take a pic with my phone and post the page with...

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    Some of my relatives have farms on the Spirit Lake res. Don't get caught on foot out checking the cows Dogs running on the res will eat your ass. An acquaintance brought a predator hunting magazine back from Australia. Front cover was an electronic call, a rifle, and a half dozen cats...

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    I don't think they have their own data, but would guess it's available in one of the periodicals in their library. Often research is done by grad students and funded jointly through a university. I think I read the data about Michigan in the Journal of Wildlife Management.

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    Ditto. I love dogs, but don't have one because I don't want to be tied down. I don't want a yippy foot stool, and I don't want a 50lb dog in my camper, and I don't want to pay to leave them in a kennel. Cats? I have to agree with MSA. Studies have been done in England and here at home in...

    Browning Hells Canyon LRH

    I forget the model, but this week I was looking at the Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor in the T3XTAC A1. I may have drooled on the stock. http://www.tikka.fi/en-us/rifles/tikka-t3x/t3x-tac-a1

    Favorite gas station snack

    Coffee with two cream and two sugar. A Coke Zero. Then any kind of jerky I can find. Those Cheezy Jalapeno Cheetos are good too.

    Rifle Stock Modification Ideas?

    Years ago they made an epoxy for bow grips. It was a thick epoxy that you mixed, then when it was the consistency of modelers clay you would wrap it around your bow handle and squeeze it to fit your hand. Then you simply set it aside to harden. Don't know who made it or if they still do make...

    Rifle Stock Modification Ideas?

    You have a very nice stock. Don't screw it up. Trade someone for something you like. There should be people willing to buy a new less expensive stock that you like and trade you straight up. If my Bell and Carlson Medalist was for a Remington and not a Savage I would trade you in a...

    Wild asparagus

    Mostly it's been spread by bird crap so look in shelterbelts. One row belts are good because they get more sun. I dig up roots and replant in my belt near the house.
