    Double-tapping with a .243 vs one shot with 30-06?

    What do you think is an appropriate lead free bullet for hunting in California? I was very disappointed with the performance of a Winchester "Copper Impact" 30-06 on a ram I shot last weekend, took multiple shots to the chest with the 30-06, and then some more finishing shots from a sidearm to...

    Double-tapping with a .243 vs one shot with 30-06?

    So, I was thinking that, especially in places that require copper bullets, since a lot of times a powerful 30-06 will pass through the animal leaving a small hole and dumping a lot of the energy into the ground after exiting the animal..... Why not hunt with something like a semi-auto Browning...

    Critique my WY Pronghorn NON-resident tag application

    So, I don't really know what I am doing and I only have two preference points for a buck antelope in WY. I don't care about a trophy, I'd just like a unit with lots of lope and some stalking/shot opportunities. Since I figure I don't have good odds of drawing a good unit with my two points...

    Finding bear in California in the Sierras this November/December?

    Any tips on how I can find a bear before the year ends in the Sierras in Cali this year? I know I should be looking in 3-6k feet of elevation where there are hopefully still some acorns, anything else would be appreciated.

    San Diego Long Range Fishing Help

    I can wholeheartedly recommend the Intrepid, I just did a 1.75 day on it this past Spring targeting big bluefin tuna, boat is very, very nice and the crew genuinely friendly and helpful.

    Was my experience normal...or did I somehow F&#K up?

    Update: I just looked at the statistics from the Nevada Department of Wildlife that are available now regarding my hunt in 2023. https://www.ndow.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2023-Antelope-Harvest-by-Unit-Group.pdf For what my 2023 tag was for, second season ALW for Antelope in Unit 033...

    Wyoming Long Range Turkey with Centerfire Rifle?

    Howdy y'all, I am an adult onset hunter without a lot of turkey hunting experience, forgive me if I seem pretty ignorant. Last year I went on a guided turkey hunt in California and attempted to harvest a turkey by shooting it in the head at close range with an air rifle from a blind, but...
