    7mm Rem Mag Handloads

    I’d look to a different bullet. The 195 in a 7mm REM mag with a 9.5 twist isn’t going to stabilize very well. I run a 162 eld x at 2950 with 68.5 H1000. Good BC and it kills just fine. Those 195’s are great bullets but you really need an 8 twist I think to get them right. And probably some...

    Dark Day

    It was in the jury’s instructions. Fairly simple to understand as the judge didn’t hide the fact that all 12 didn’t have to agree in every single charge.

    Dark Day

    This may sound far fetched…. But I believe their plan is to kill trump. Jail him and he “dies” in jail as Epstein did….. now Epstein was a guilty sob…but they killed him in order to keep him from rolling on others. The same will be true for trump I believe if he goes into jail/prison. Looking...

    Visiting MT in June

    If you want to use an outfitter, I would recommend Cody Car outfitting for a horseback/fishing adventure up in Plains, MT. I’ve hunted with them and they were very good to me. They have nice cabins and are nothing fancy, but they are plenty nice. There’s some beautiful places up that way along...

    Hand Loading/Reloading Training Needed

    When I got started several years ago, I had no one to show me other than YouTube…. My suggestion would be get a good, up to date manual, the basic equipment, and start with loading for only a single rifle. If he can’t read a dial caliper/digital caliper I would wait until he can. Look at a...

    Whats your favorite hunting rig as in truck ?

    17 Tacoma TRD off-road 4x4. 3” suspension with 285-75-16 Toyo AT 2. Gets me everywhere I need to go. Had her in the Rockys and down here in the Florida swamps and pine lands. No issues getting through some questionable stuff. But was running 285-75-16 Toyo MTs during the Colorado hunt.

    Stoeger 3020 VS Mossberg SA-20 which is the better more reliable turkey hammer?

    I own a Stoeger M3020, absolutely zero issues with this shotgun. Not the most refined but it cycles everything just fine. Never hangs and has about 3,000 rounds through it. Easy to clean and patterns very good with the factory chokes. I had the factory stock cut down to fit my son and ordered a...

    Thanks a lot OK

    That is correct. It’s really come down to jealousy I think. Now that being said, 99% of the residents I run into are done off the best people I’ve met. I even hunt with some of them. Networking is the best way to be able to hunt all over this country. But the squeaky wheel gets the grease...

    Thanks a lot OK

    I completely agree with ya there, but will add to those resident folks….do not cry when the non res guys start mowing down small deer and stuff. It’s gonna change. I like to shoot a big deer, but my standard has went down a lot because I can only eat tag soup so much before I get the itch to get...

    Thanks a lot OK

    If I get drawn and I get an opportunity, I don’t eat tag soup anymore. I used to pass a lot of good deer on out of state hunts. But with the expense getting so high, I am not as picky. That’s the trade off I believe most people will start doing…. Sucks but if I got to spend a grand to hunt and...

    Need an update on scent technology and bugling season

    I think the whole mindset of scent control should be to minimize your scent the best you can. Playing the wind is your best bet but it also can change suddenly and then what? lol, I as well shower clean with unscented soap, wash clothes in fragrance free detergents, but at the end of the day I...

    I bought land - now what?

    Congrats on the on the land purchase. A lil control burn goes a long way. Mowing with a rotary cutter will help open up some areas. Plenty of guys on the land clearing side are all over. And as far as prevailing wind…. ⬅️⬆️⬇️➡️↙️↖️↗️↘️. We’re not as fortunate as our friends in the Midwest and...

    What is your favorite rifle in your arsenal?

    Mine is an 1984 model Remington 700 in 270 Winchester…. Given to me by my dad when I was about 10-12 years old. I’ve killed countless deer with it and it’s as accurate as anything I own. Best feeling rifle I’ve ever put my hands on and it’s what I judge everything by. Only upgrades is a lil...
