    Open fields under fire in another state

    A few years ago on opening day of dove season two game wardens came on our farm. They checked hunters twice and drove around our farm. They parked at every visible stand I assume checking for bait which required quite a bit of effort on their part. I was working and saw them coming out and...

    Any hog farmers on here?

    Be aware that they can lift very heavy stuff. Don't give them any room to get a snout under anything. I would attach the panels to the concrete. They are probably the easiest animal to feed out. You can pretty much give them anything to feed them. Just figure the ration based on grain and...

    Bear over bait

    I did a spring hunt in Maine with Penobscot guide service. I really liked our guides but only my son got a bear. They handled a 12yo very well and we're considerate of his age. It was a slow spring for bears that year. I think it's been over 50% the following years.

    Don't mess around, take the day off and ice them.

    Is he a Bot or a real person?

    Not trying to hijak the thread, but I kept wondering. Was Europe real? If not I fell hook line and sinker but I felt like Randi, Panda and Europe were legit.

    Wool hunting clothing

    Too cheap to spend the money for all wool. It's much better utilized as a base layer. There the natural scent elimination is so nice for extended hunts. The old adage of synthetics stink is still true though scent suppression helps. I do have a 3/4 length blaze orange vest I would never do...

    Is he a Bot or a real person?

    Messaged with her several times about everything from hunting, guns to families. Great lady. Never worked up the nerve to ask her real name!

    Sell me on a 45-70

    I always think about a browning high wall in 45/70. One day I'll have one.

    Camping Outside Designated Sites in Wilderness Area [RESOLVED]

    That is why I mentioned the forest warden. Not sure if that's the exact title or just what I call them.

    Camping Outside Designated Sites in Wilderness Area [RESOLVED]

    This reminds me of the old arument threads about it being lawful/unlawful to park along the interstate to hunt. Topgun and Buzz would go at it for days. I think I would get the name and number of every game Warden or forest warden in the area. I'd also email them for confirmation and save it...

    Groundhog Day

    Dang, got teared up scrolling for what I wanted to post. Wouldn't mind reliving this one over and over.

    I've long considered a .35 Remington build on a Mauser action.

    Sewer smell

    I lived in a house in college that had the hidden floor drain that dried. Filled with water and the same issue. In that particular case what happened was that the drain cover had rusted and wasn't to proper depth into the trap and would let the smell through. It was an older house and the...

    Anti hunting group buys hunting rights

    I'm always in amazement when disagreements with Buzz start up. Not who I'd pick to engage with over a topic in this realm. Glad he's involved and engaged at the level he is. But the scary part is that every year the number of people with a sportsman's bias, like Buzz, involved in the agencys...

    .284 Win and heavier-ish bullets

    I love H4350 in mine. As mentioned, if in a short action you may need a magazine extension to handle the extra length without losing capacity. Since you have a .284 I'm betting you already probably know that. 4831sc would be my second choice. The data on the hodgedons website seems pretty...

    .243 Winchester

    Just telling you what I did but might not be everyone's cup of tea. I went with a 7-08 and a .308 as my kids first guns. Then I had them shoot reduced recoil loads to equal .243 recoil with a bigger bellet. I much prefer handloads with a ballistic tip or hornadys reduced ammo. I tried...

    Pastrami?

    I read a lot of stuff about the low temp needed. I went to 150 as well. But what I'll say is once I got distracted and it went to 180 and it was still ok. But 150 seems like a good mark. I wrap it loosly in foil so smoke still gets in but they sit in the juice while cooking. I think that...
