Finally drew a region 4 permit. Loaded up the kids and headed towards a couple of Block Management areas. Got all signed in and while driving down the highway saw just the very tip of some horns out in a stubble field. Drove past a ways, double checked the map and then on foot snuck up to...
My son is driven to be an archery hunter. He signed us both up for bowhunter safety course here in Montana. I have sat in on both my kid's hunter's safety classes and always got a lot out of them. So I am looking forward to learning more. I've never hunted with a bow or owned a decent one...
Bought my kiddo a Savage axis 7mm-08 with mounted weaver scope on sale at Scheels this summer and she shot her first deer with it this fall. We put about 1 box of ammo through it practicing and hunting. It was bore sighted pretty well and didn't take much adjustment to zero. I stripped it...
Getting geared up and excited for our 2 day youth hunt here in Region 4 of Montana. My daughter took hunters safety earlier in the year and she is minute-of-milk-jug with her 7mm-08 at a reasonable distance. My son has a couple years under his belt and is ready to help his sis. I hunted big...
Looking to buy 20-50 pcs or more 7mmx57 once fired or even new brass.
Also would like to find:
some 300 min mag brass
7mm and .308 bullets of varying weight and type for load testing
Also interested in primers and powder but not sure how shipping will work for that.
Just getting back...
I have a Mauser 7mmx57 m98. modern - not military. Looking for a stock that I can cut down for my kids so I don't sacrifice my original. Will take synthetic or wood. Looking for a used one before I pay new price. Thanks!
After listening to the latest podcast I have some questions.
I am an ONX maps user and I have found it to be useful for hunting the boundaries of public/ private like many other listeners. I am trying to wrap my head around the ethics, laws, opportunity, or plain ol' respect of fence lines...
Neither my boy or I drew a permit this year. HD404 is our backyard. If anyone has a permit for this area and wants to do some scouting or would like a hunting partner or two let me know! More block management/public out here than the you can cover in a season.
After a long cold winter spring is finally here in Montana! Spent our first warm weekend of the year out in the country practicing with our firearms Any time the kids and I go out to target practice we have a long session on firearm safety. Time spent now means that during hunting season a...
Bought a new rifle, scope and mount at a retailer. Had them mount and bore sight it. Got it home and was wiping it down to put away when I noticed that there was a metal burr or something on one of the scope mounts. The rear one doesn't have it so I'm sure its a defect? Could this have...
I am in search of 12 Ga Invector Plus Choke Tubes. I have a "full" that i would trade like for like. Also will buy new/used of the following : IC, LM, M, IM. I prefer the extended Carlson's or similar. Thanks.
For comparison from left to right: .300 Win Mag, 7x57, 6.5x55.
The 6.5x55 - a fun round with a long history. A few guns still chambered for it. Mine is super hipster in a Husqvarna Swedish Mauser.
Got my resident deer/elk permit applications submitted! Also first time for my son to be able to apply @ 12 years old. Just got done reading some recent HT treads about points systems, makes me want to apply even though I don't hunt goat/sheep it sure would be nice to have that opportunity for...
Decided to join up since I feel I have read almost every post here from the past two years! Huge fan of Randy Newberg on his many channels especially the unfiltered podcast! Glad to have an ethical hunter to let my kids watch and listen to. We primarily hunt public ground and block management...
