    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Hello all, Here's a 223 bear with 77gr TMK. 25.5gr Accurate 2520. 18" barrel. 2784fps average. 411 yard steep angle shot upwards. When you're a lowlander and all the locals tell you to center punch a bear fricking think about it and force yourself to DO IT. This shot went in above the...

    Shingles Recommendation

    It's valuable to install adhesive backed ice and water shield instead of felt paper or synthetic felt. Owens Corning Duration product hasn't been mentioned yet. Look at the SureNail feature. This is what I put on my house. Certainteed Landmark is great. Use Landmark PRO if your roof is a...

    Shoot2Hunt University

    I'm still fired up about this class. I learned so much in 3 days. Form is a great shooting instructor and cares deeply about the subject matter and his students. I too could have happily continued (and will) with the 5-day class and beyond. Thank you everyone for putting this opportunity...

    Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 F1 vs ATACR 4-16x42 F1

    same... Same...unobstructed view begins between 6-7x on mine. I leave it there when I put it up but it always seems inappropriate given the cost.

    Leather belt recommendation for daily use and concealed carry?

    Wes is busy but worth the wait. I have 2 Man O' War, one for work and one for competition/hunting/forestry, etc. I carry a G43x in his Highwayman holster too. https://www.privateerleather.com/belts

    Trapping catches

    That's great. We had a banner year a few years ago with birds everywhere and now not so much. Pulled a few predators this year and hope to see improvement.

    Trapping catches

    Here's some of ours. We ran MB 550s during coyote season and I stumbled across in the regulations that coon and opossum season ran 15 days longer, so I ordered some dog proof traps and got some good nights in before the end of that season. We should be tripping over poults in a few months, right?

    Trapping in yard with free ranging chickens.

    I was thinking the same thing...switch to 4 coil MB 550 but you'll miss coons and opossums.

    Trapping catches

    Are you willing to share info about your set up? Traps, bait, etc? We set DP's and MB-550's here and run 10x12x36" box traps here but I always wondered about getting a bigger box trap. I never catch bobcats, I don't think they are into the baits, sets or maybe they want motion but they are...

    Tired of the Pigeons

    The pigeon shooters here use these with cracked corn to recatch their missed birds. My understanding is finding live wild pigeons in steady supply is difficult. Domesticated birds are unsuitable for these purposes...

    45-70 elk bullets

    Are these bullets a seasonal run? I got into 450 Marlin last year and bought a couple boxes from Midway and now that I need more they are unavailable and have been for a while.

    I have one of these on a 450... https://www.bulletproofhitches.com/products/2-5-extreme-duty-8-drop-rise This one does 2" incremements...I don't think 2.5" would be much different, but I think all the sockets on the one you are looking at would be a PITA. Also, I don't really have to change...

    45-70 elk bullets

    I'm working on 250 TSX load for 450 marlin for deer next year but I don't think these bullets will expand at 1600fps. I'd think an all lead bullet would be the way to go but you're already making a .45 caliber hole with a mono bullet so maybe it will work fine. My shots are 200 yards in and we...

    Thank you Pickettpuncher, which season do you hunt? I am trying to keep some time blocked out in November given the dates for last season.

    Roof Damage Home Owners Insurance Question...

    These guys put letters in mailboxes around here with lots of hawker type language, such as "If you go with our roofing company we have an 82 percent chance of saving you up to 65 percent off your new roof given our extensive insurance industry experience." I'm in the industry. Real roofing...
