    New to Turkey Hunting-Need a Turkey Gun

    Browning BPS and Ithaca 37 are both bottom eject so can be used either side. Benelli Super black eagle 2 or the newer 3 are made for left hand but there have been some point of impact issues with the 3, so I would look for a SBE 2 if going that route. But if I were going to buy a dedicated...

    Should Have Bought A Tundra

    I recently got rid of a tacoma with 175K, was going to need about $1500 put into it for the usual stuff that wears out. I wanted to go back to a full size truck and would have bought a Tundra in a second but for the MPG. Got a decent deal on an end-of-the-yr Silverado so I went that route. With...

    We will take your truck.

    Yeah, I don't understand it either, a friend will take his truck hunting, but only if the roads are good with no chance of scratches or dents. So no even semi-serious off roading that a prius could negociate. Then it gets cleaned immediately, at camp, not when he gets home. And if the outside...

    If you had to choose just one caliber???

    I concede that today's bullet technology makes the old standbys more effective, it's just that old ideas die hard, and I'm closing in fast (if not already there) on what I would consider old.

    If you had to choose just one caliber???

    My 340 wby would fit the bill for me. Over gunned sometimes (if there is such a thing, I'm skeptical) in the scenario presented, just right for others.

    Longer trips with higher mileage vehicles?

    Sounds like the samurai committed seppuku

    Moose guns.

    I never killed one but have been applying for tags. If I ever get to go I'll likely use a 35 whelen with 225 or 250 gr. bullets.

    Forgotten Calibers

    221 fireball & 338 RCM have 'em and like'em both. Have enough brass to shoot them until I'm gone the way of the dodo.

    Longer trips with higher mileage vehicles?

    OH wait a minute, after that trip to the outdoor showw I think I figured it out! Here's the math Win 300,000 on a lottery scratch off -$120,000 Gov taxes -$75,000 New truck with dealer discount taxes etc -$2500 Leer truck bed cap for truck (must have) -$30,000 Brown bear hunt in Alaska...

    Longer trips with higher mileage vehicles?

    Well I did see a truck I liked down at the NRA outdoor show today, a 3/4 ton Chevy......only $71K. Guess I'll work on putting another 160K miles on the tacoma.

    Okay then, onward and upward!

    Longer trips with higher mileage vehicles?

    I am making a snowshoe rabbit trip up north soon though. About 1100 round trip.

    Longer trips with higher mileage vehicles?

    Not "afraid" more like cautious, and planning for the worst and hoping for the best. But sounds like my concerns are unfounded.

    Longer trips with higher mileage vehicles?

    As kind of another question to the cross country thread below. Do you trust your higher mileage vehicles (say over 100,000 or so) to make longer trips? Longer meaning more than a couple hundred miles from home. Have a well maintained '12 tacoma, has about 160K, but not sure about a trip out...
