First time pronghorn
Basically the same way I hunt with one exception. I do all my looking the week before the opener. When I can manage to draw a tag, I like to get there a week or so before opening day. The first day I’m there I find a good camping spot and get everything ready. After that, I spend the rest of the... -

Anyone else getting antsy?
Good luck to all of you guys! Leaving here Labor Day for Louisiana gator hunt and redfish. Only out of state hunt this year. Points again for Wyoming, might have enough for a decent pronghorn area next year. Whitetails here in Missouri from mid September through the end of the year. Looking at...- BobT1105

Help, I need a new pronghorn rifle! (Update)
I ended up getting my phone out and taking video of the 3rd deer. I actually ran it off when I stood up to start my field dressing. If I knew how I would post the video. -
What trucks do you regret selling?
There are 3 over the years that I wish I still had, the first was not really a pickup but a 1964 ElCamino, 283 4 speed 48,000 on the clock when I bought it. The next was a 1979 GMC High Sierra, 350 with a granny low four speed, my first new vehicle. The last one was a 1961 Ford Unibody Custom...- BobT1105

Another ZZ Top member is gone
I have seen them a few times over the years, the most memorable was the first night of the Eliminator tour at the Scope in Norfolk Virginia, Sammy Hagar opened for them on the last night of his 3 Lock Box tour, what a fantastic show!!!- BobT1105

Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game
We used to have two neighbor boys that piled up several deer between them when they were first learning to hunt. The rifle of choice was a Ruger 77/22H. Yes, the old .22 Hornet, they never lost a deer that I’m aware of. I’m quite sure that the various .22 caliber cartridges are all capable of...- BobT1105

Help, I need a new pronghorn rifle! (Update)
I’ve been hunting suppressed for several years now. Yes, there is some noise but I have seen deer at close range pay absolutely no attention to the sound. Hogs will run around in circles, it’s as if they don’t know where the sound is coming from. This past fall I was hunting with my .308 in an... -
The big 18 and adult things?
I retired from the military at age 38. I retired from my second career as a machinist/toolmaker at 64. At 67 I went back to work as a gunsmith. I enjoy working and it affords me the freedom to mostly do whatever I want. I did save a little over the years. Several years ago I had an accident and...- BobT1105

New Bolt Action Rifle Recommendations
I have 3 good loads for my .308, mine are all hand loaded. I have a 125 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip load for our local woods whitetail. Another Ballistic Tip 150 grain for longer ranges and a 150 grain Partition for black bear. Take a look at Federal Fusion in factory ammo, I know several people... -
Opinions please!!!
I have mostly Leupolds, they have decent glass, are fairly durable and they are light weight. Us old fat guys like light weight. I have an older Vari xII 2-7 that has been on so many rifles that I have lost count and it’s never let me down. I have some newer VX3 2.5-8 scopes that have been... -
