    Idaho Spring Bear Hunt

    I was out in Montana ten days ago. I got a stent last October so didn't want to walk that much. I would drive as high as I could in an FJ Cruiser. That took me to 6000 ft most of the time. I found a nice spot where I could watch three drainages with 300 yard wide bottoms with green grass...

    Scope reticles?

    It depends on the rifle for me. For a while I was putting mildot on everything. On my AR 223 with 75 gr the bullet drop reticle in the 3X9 Nikon works very well to 600 yards. I have two scopes for my 300WSM. A 4.5x14 with mildot, and the new Vortex Strike Eagle 1X6 reticle with light. The...

    Redneck Blinds

    I had five bucks in my yard last summer. My wife didn't much like them eating her flowers. I put up a tree stand the week before rifle season and that's about the last time I seen any of them. I never did get a pic of the largest one. He was here only a week. Long enough to girdle a six...

    hunting bullets for 308 winchester

    svn mag don't feel left out, buy some of these and really read with your seven. You can get them loaded to. Hornady calls them the Precision Hunter. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/122348/hornady-eld-x-bullets-284-caliber-7mm-284-diameter-162-grain-boat-tail-box-of-100 If you want to step...

    Abuse

    I can see a problem with four people. I lay mine in the back seat just like you. I have had more people then left the guns cased in the pickup box. I guess if you want to keep them with you and have four guys it's more safe muzzle down. I think I would make a sleeve for the muzzle so it...

    Abuse

    I will second Kurts remarks about damage cleaning. I will say it's different with different barrels. I don't know why but those Bartlein don't need to be cleaned often. It also depends on how much you shoot, the velocity of your loads, the grains of powder in each load etc. In my handguns...

    hunting bullets for 308 winchester

    I have a tight custom chamber so I am loading one grain under max from my manual. That's 44 gr of Varget.

    hunting bullets for 308 winchester

    Shot everything you mentioned. I like long range so ballistic coefficient is important to me. I recently switched to the 178 ELD-X by Hornady. They shoot great, but I have not put them to the test yet on game. I guess no one has they just came out. Hard to find, but I picked up a couple...

    Handgun hunting

    Squirrels with a Ruger 10/45 and suppressor. A couple of deer with the 357, then went to the 44 mag. One deer with the 45ACP. The 44 is sure versatile I think. Nine gr of Unique below a 240 cast will kill everything from cottontail to deer. Averages about 1100 fps. Doesn't blow up...

    Abuse

    People who neglect to clean their firearms. Stainless was a Godsend for some people. It still needs to be cleaned once in a while. Another abuse is those people who stick their gun in the pickup barrel down against the floor. A floor they have tracked rocks and dirt into. You look at their...

    High Beams (AGAIN)

    Your right Rowdy. I guess I was trying to avoid explanations for so many different scenarios. Sorry about that. How can I put this hmm mm you know it kind of depends on your day too. I will admit I set my cruise on 76 to 77 often. If I am passing a truck doing 65 I will not push it further...

    Handlaoding

    Only in my 45ACP. It has one heck of a hollow point, but still feeds perfectly. I shot a coon about 40 ft up a big cottonwood tree. It sounded like you smacked a 50lb bag with a 2X4. It sure smacked him off that branch. I have the same configuration for my 9mm. The only problem is it takes...

    High Beams (AGAIN)

    No I shouldn't do it either, but sometimes with a guy right on your bumper your trying to get out of the way. No matter how close they get I'm not going any faster than 5mph over the speed limit.

    It becomes addictive

    Do you guys remember the old Lee loader that you used a hammer to do your reloading. I started out with that and a model 43 Winchester in 22 Hornet in 1960 I think it was. I would hike up to the neighbors and shoot a few gophers, then sit behind a big rock and hammer another 20 rounds out. I...

    High Beams (AGAIN)

    In the event they needed a witness. Guys like that are going to kill someone. I know a judge will throw out anything less than five mph over the speed limit so I feel safe at 79 mph, and I may push that another couple miles per hour, but that's it. I was doing at least 10 mph faster than...

    High Beams (AGAIN)

    I will follow a truck only doing a couple miles an hour less than myself. If it's five mph I'm going to pass, but I'm not going to get a speeding ticket doing it. If your behind and don't like that, to bad. I hope the highway patrol gets people that don't like that on radar. I am legal, they...

    High Beams (AGAIN)

    I am 68 and use cruise so I don't go over the speed limit. My problem is passing a truck and I am already going the speed limit or a mile or two over. Then some guy rides my bumper trying to force me to go faster. If I am at the speed limit I am not going to break the speed limit to keep this...

    High Beams (AGAIN)

    I sometimes forget, but it sure does help. Weedy1 I think many of those cars nowadays are built for city boys. Especially the higher end cars. Many people I know add extra power after factory lights. My FJ Cruiser has led wide angel on the front push bar. It lights it up to the side to...

    Does anyone volunteer?

    I have done nothing with hunter ed, but I worked with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts for 19 years. Two of the dozen merit badges covered firearms and archery.

    High Beams (AGAIN)

    Ditto. I may add it's just as bad with the asshat on your bumper with the brights on. At least with the Buick I can hit a button and bring up the rear window shade. Then turn my side mirror back in his face. Idiots. Da^&%$ Obama voters.
