I'm on the other end of the stick and I will tell you it is difficult at least in Middle Tennessee to find land to lease. I have been leasing in Kentucky but cancelled out for 2016 because it was too far to drive to hunt weekends. I was only going for one week per year. Add lease fee, hotel...

Yep. I am so used to the vintage actions that I am super careful when ejecting a live round. I have one in 6mm Remington that my grandfather gave me. I love that rifle. It is a standard sporter barrel but it will hold it's own with my varmint versions in the accuracy department. I have shot many...

Hey CB, I am hoping you feel better about the killing power of the 7-08 these days. It sounds like the round is growing on you. I have one in a Rem Model 7 and it is one of my all-time favorite woods guns.

I have a pretty long list of Remington 700's. I like the ones built up until the late 1990's and I snatch up the late 1960's models when I can find them. The ones with the steel butt plate. I do have a new Remington 700 Heavy Barrel ACC/SD in .308 which I mounted a 4 x 14 Burris on. I hate the...

Sort of an optical illusion. The gun slid over when he picked up the head. It is actually to his left and passed him. And of course it is unloaded. Thanks for the concern! :tiphat:

Little HOSS just turned 8 a few days ago. Saturday he got a nice birthday gift. His first deer. A nice fat doe for the freezer. He was sure proud of it and I am proud of him. He made a difficult shot out of the wrong side of the blind. The hit was too far back but he didn't get squeamish on the...

List is a long one and I may forget some but I have taken deer with: Bow, crossbow, muzzleloader, .22LR, .223, .243, 6mm Remington, 7mm-08, 7.62x39, 7mm Rem Mag, 30-06, .308, .303 British, .357 mag, .44 mag, .45 acp, .40 S&W, 12 gauge, .410 shotgun slug. I have taken elk and black bear with a...

I started hunting deer in the mid-70's. There were darn few in Tennessee at that time. I shot my first at 6 or 7 years old using an old Remington 742 Woodmaster in 6mm Remington. Seemed that all I needed was some old coveralls, old galosh boot covers and a stump to set on. Started bow hunting...

I consider myself to be an above average rifle shot and I am pretty decent with a pistol probably because I shoot allot. I am a horrible shotgunner. I can hit a running rabbit easier with a .22 rifle than I can a shotgun (not that I do that feat all of the time). Back about 20 years ago I used...

Was in a government type building once....all concrete with high ceilings. Explosion went off about 40 ft away. My ears rang for 3 days I think. Then I had tinnitus symptoms for days. As long as there was some type of noise I was ok. If it got quite I couldn't sleep for the ringing in my ears. I...

I think I have posted extensively on this subject before so I am not going to re-hash all of that. I do know that when my fixed blade broad heads leave my bow the blades are deployed......100% of the time. Yes it takes a bit more patience and knowledge to tune fixed blades to fly right out of...

Uh......she sure could be :mrgreen:

What is frustrating is that a gun safe will not hold the advertised amount of guns........with scopes that is. Scopes reduce the space by about 30 to 40%.

I would never admit to that :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol2:

I think the G2's were in the 13" range.

Got this one back from the taxidermist. One more is still being mounted. I am slowly getting them caught up.

I got lucky like this once. Much closer shot though. Pulled through the gate and there was a coyote 20 yards in front of the truck. I had a 9mm in my holster. I jumped out, he took off running straight away. Held over his head and shot. Bullet hit him in the spine mid-back. He died. He was...

I use the ballistic silvertips in my 7mm-08 and love them. Never had an issue with them. I shot 1 and my son shot 1 on Jogeephus place a few years ago with my little Model 7. Neither went more than 10 yards after the hit. I have shot several deer with the rifle and bullet and my son has shot...

:shock: That had to smart! My hand would have been gone cause I would have had a muzzy on it :mrgreen:

As an avid hunter and a serious bow hunter I have seen about every archery shot scenario imaginable. I have probably taken in the neighborhood of 75 deer with a bow along with elk, bear and hogs. Arrows can be very deadly in terms of terminal performance. Arrows kill by massive hemorrhage where...
