First shotgun: O/U vs. Pump
O/U You can get into an ATI for about $550 in any gauge you want. If you can't kill it in 2 the third probably won't matter. Choke each barrel differently. Comes in a youth size stock if needed. Can have him load one barrel only if safety is a concern. Selectable barrel. Extractors. walnut... -

TC Encore Pro Hunter in .270. TC Encore pistol in .30 Herrett. CVA single shot 20 ga. I have never passed on a shot because I only had one. A clean shot is a clean shot. Wouldn't matter how many shots I had. -

Torn between .257 Rob & .270 for this years hunt
If hunting local to home, 257. If traveling 270 because I can buy 270 everywhere. Maybe not the case with the 257? -

7-08 or 6.5 creedmoor
Isn't the 30TC from a 30-30 case? Or did I miss something. I may be confused as my TC 30 Herritt is a 30-30 case. I don't own the 7mm-08 or the 6.5 but I have a question. If you were going to hunt elk with either would the Barnes TTX solid copper bullet be your choice? -

Best Bird Dog for Apartment
You should look at the AWS (American Water Spaniel) Smaller than most gun breeds except a Boykin. Ows is now 10 and there was a period where we both worked and he was home alone all day. He is a hunting maniac. Loves upland and ducks. They are a flushing breed but hunt close.- 2dogs

Wall Tent Rookies - When is too cold?`
Been tenting it for hunting for 35 years. Now we have a sleeping tent, cook tent and outhouse/shower tent. Put a plastic tarp over the tent, not touching suspended a few inches over. Keeps the snow and rain off, no leaks. We use kerosene heaters, works fine.- 2dogs
