    Just put our 8 year old german wirehair down this week because of cancer. I have a feeling you're right

    I think we align on this more than it seems at times.

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    Right, I'm with you. You said there are very few people that should use a 22 cal centerfire for big game and I'm just curious what the difference is between using a .243 and say a 22-250, 22 creed, 220 swift or even a 223. I'm not saying they're the best choice for elk but antelope, deer, and...

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    So 80 grain 6 mm bullet is good but 80 grain 22 cal of similar construction is bad? This is where I really get myself wrapped around the axel with this stuff. The 243 is probably one of the most recommended cartridges for young/new shooters

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    I kind of enjoy this thought process and I'm not arguing with you but I'm just curious what the cut off is for enough gun. Is a .243 kosher with everyone?

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    I'm confused. Putting a bullet into the chest cavity of an animal is a varsity level move?

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    The smaller caliber/cartridge stuff can make sense to me. If the projectile creates a sufficient wound channel, that's all that matters. The one argument against it that I've heard and can get on board with is that it's more difficult to pinpoint/spot where you hit an animal. You can spot shots...

    Haven't you killed a bear with a .223 or is my memory all screwed up?

    Sounds like you need to use one of their brakes with it which is a huge turn off for me

    Latest APR. SENT TO me by a friend

    So what do you think the odds are of a billionaire selling his ranch back to a ranching family? I actually agree with you that once these properties are out of production, they will likely be out of production forever. So why is it that one scenario is bad and one is good? And I still find it...

    Latest APR. SENT TO me by a friend

    Am I reading that correctly where you’d like to see the public lose hunting on the APR just so you could say ‘I told you so’? Do you have any complaints of the wall street businessmen being able to keep their elk ranches in ‘production ag status’ because they run a few cows and plant food...

    Cool. I remember you posing about it on LRH before you got the boot. Since you have years of experience do you have any suggestions or insight for the OP and the rest of us?
