    Oddities Afield

    My Uncle raised Emu's during the 90's. He bought a adult pair bred them had 25 babies. Sold all of them bought 6 more adult pairs bred them and had hundreds of babies. He made money the first 2 years after that he couldn't give them away. Ended up letting all of them go on property the...

    K Frame Birthday selfie....

    Nice gun. I put the Houge's or Pachmyers on every handgun I own. I know they are not as pretty but I've always been a function over form guy.

    Duck hunting Louisiana 2014

    It looks like my hopes for a group hunt are not going to happen. The Outfitter I would use does not what to commit to any dates. He only wants to do the hunts on a stand by status. He says the birds are tough to pattern that time of the year in his area. He advised making a Hunt in Missouri...

    Excellent. The hunt will most likely be during the first week of Feb. If you are interested PM me.

    I'll put out some feelers on prices and availability. These types of hunts are put on in rice fields and require a huge spread. Only way to really do these is guided. It's not too expensive and when there are birds you can shoot till your sick of pulling the trigger.

    A Canadian would be awesome. I've never seen any where we hunt. We get Specks, Snows and Blues. Mostly Specks. Life is good. I'm so thankful we live in a country where we are able to experience the outdoors the way we do. I've had colleagues ask me why we like to shoot animals. Why...

    I always tell him to take lots of pictures. It's difficult to make a young person understand the importance of documenting these times.

    I'm in Nigeria right on the Cameroon, EG border. Here are a few more pics from my son. He likes to rub it in some while I'm at work. His still on Christmas break.

    My first Montana Spring Bear hunt

    Thanks Huntlife. I certainly will post pic's. Good luck with your new house.:) Permethrin is your friend. I treat all my hunting clothes with it. Helps with all of the creepy crawlies. Seems strange to me that ya'll have such a problem with Ticks up there. I woulda thought the cold would...

    Great write up Buzz. Really makes me like this round that much more. When people ask me for a caliber recommendation I always recommend this one.

    My first Montana Spring Bear hunt

    Thank you Mthuntinfool. We will try to check it out. Last year we stayed in Big Sky and spent a week at Yellowstone and Grand Teton Parks. We rented horses in Big Sky, went white water rafting I fished every day and we absolutely fell in love with the country. I can't wait to get back.

    Tjay it was a newer 140 not a 150. I've never shot 150's out of my 7mm08's. I've read that they are a tougher bullet. This deer was close only around 30 yards. That might have been part of what caused the damage. I shoot Partitions when hunting now. I still shoot the BT's at the range...

    This small buck was shot with a 140 gr Nosler BT out of a 7mm 08. The small hole is the entrance, there was no exit and then the damage under the skin. This is why I don't shoot BT's at big game anymore.

    I have two 7mm 08 and I agree with Firehawk on the Varget. As far as bullets I used to shoot the ballistic tips but have switched to Partitions due to the mess the ballistic tips make. I just find they damage to much meat and don't exit well even on thin skinned deer. IMO/IME the 140 gr...
