    Older Remington 700

    Dad shoots a 84' model in 06. Topped with an old wideview 3-9x33 Weaver scope. Thing shoots and looks great and has been the death of many a critter.

    Yellowstone Sightseeing!

    We were there the week before Memorial day and say several idiots in action. My favorites were the ones stepping off the boardwalk onto the ground at the mudpots and geysers were signs say every 50 ft "STAY ON WALK". What part of unstable ground and boiling mud and water dont you get? Does it...

    Leupold vs. Vortex Warranty work

    I have had nothing but excellent service from Leupold. Dropped a pair of binoculars one day in the creek and bent the eyepiece on a rock. Still functional but the eyepiece would not move in or out. Sent them a email explaining what happened and they told me to send them in with a note explaining...

    More TV poachers

    "Celebrity"????. Some of these guys heads are so big its a wonder they can fit inside a pickup truck. I believe the definition of "celebrity" is a famous,well known,or very important person.Most of these "celebrities" fall into that classification only within the confines of their own...

    More TV poachers

    Its a sad fact but a very big percentage of TV hunters are more concerned with their "cool,bad-ass,team me image" than they are with any sort of game laws or ethics. I would really like to know what percentage of the mega whitetail hunters are hunting under the disguise of the high fence? Very...

    Private Land Hunting... Cheating? Rifles...Cheating?

    I'd say 99% of my hunting has been on private as my family is fortunate to own some MO farmground plus have very generous neighbors that allow us to hunt whatever whenever. I dont feel like i'm "cheating" by hunting our land at all. The amount of work we put into it with timber...

    Podcast 5 - thoughts on funding

    I really wish more states would take a look at what was done here in Missouri. Our conservation dept gets 1/8 of 1 cent from sales tax for funding,and it has done wonderfully. You could even limit it from a general sales tax percentage to a tax on sporting goods much like Pittman. For those who...

    Muzzleloader Help

    I use blackthorn 209 in my Knight Disc Extreme .50 and while it is still corrosive,it is non hydroscopic which means it doesn't draw moisture like other bp subs. I have been lucky with my gun and have found that if I pop off 2-3 primers on a clean barrel it fouls it enough to give me good...

    Best all arround scope

    This ^^^. Have one on my Knight .50 Disc Extreme and love it. Also have a couple VX2 1-4x20 one a muzzleloader and one on a Marlin 336 30-30. Have become a bigger fan of the lower side of magnification the last few years for some reason.

    AK Blacktails -Fantasy Island

    I thought the Longhunter record book listed a .54 caliber next to some of your entries so I'm assuming it's the same gun? Man that's ALOT of shooting to shoot a gun out that you need to have it re-bored! Awesome looking rifle!

    AK Blacktails -Fantasy Island

    I'd like to know more about that muzzleloader!! Ive seen James' name listed several times in the Longhunter record books.Being a full time muzzleloader guy myself(albeit a inline)it takes a special kind of guy to hunt with a hawken style rifle fulltime,not even throwing in the factors of the...

    When is 'old' too old?

    Im only 44 but notice the difference from 20 years ago. I carry the same philosophy as my dad who is 66. He used to still hunt deer a lot,but as he got older his legs and hips couldnt take it. In his words he didnt give up still hunting deer,he just adjusted tactics. Thats my plan until they...
