I've been coyote hunting for about 15 years and have been very successful but I rarely have hunted at night. This season I'd like to hunt more at night and see what happens. I went out tonight and just got home. Nothing was stirring, not even a mouse. I find myself scanning with the red...

Upstate New York helps fight crime by turning illegal weapons into jewelry...and then sells the parts for 10 times more than the gun costs! New York State...

Seems to me the bullet availability is starting to come back a bit although from what I can see, the powder and the primer situation is still lagging. When all this gun silliness and panic is over, when reloading supplies are stocked and available to reloaders at anytime, let's not forget the...

What's the purpose of the squares above the bullseye?

Just returned from the woods. Going to be irritated for the rest of the day, had to come home. Why? Because I didn't do what I KNEW I should do, wanted to do something different, try something new. Cost me a big, beautiful coyote this morning. In this section of woods I've had great luck...

I made a recent purchase of a TC in 222. It hasn't arrived yet so I figured before I receive my dies I'll grab a few boxes of factory 222 so I could shoot it while waiting on them. I'd have 2 boxes of brass to boot. I head to Walmart. The clerk at the ammo counter, who is very anxious to...

Recently picked up a nice little T/C Contender in 222, 14" barrel. So recent in fact, it hasn't arrived yet. According to several of my reloading manuals, the rifle data is good for the 14" barrel in the TC. They do say that accuracy falls off. Instead of horsing around/experimenting with...

I've got a Rem 700 SPS Varmint in 22-250. Barrel twist is 1-14. Both 50gr and 55 grain hit the target at 50 yards sideways. Can't even hit a 3 x 3 foot board at 100 yards. Obviously those bullet weights are not being handled correctly by that twist. 40 grainers shoot like a laser, can't...

You're more concerned about the piece of brass you dropped out of your tree stand than what you're supposed to be doing in the treestand. I got up in my treestand this morning in a choice piece of woods, only to drop a round of 308 while loading the gun. For almost 2 hours I was fretting and...

"Smith & Wesson Model 629-1 (Pre-Lock) - Serial# N932541 - Mfg. date 1983 - .44 Mag./44 S&W Spl. cal., N-frame, 4 in. barrel, 6 shot, stainless steel, adj. rear sights, and factory wooden stocks with the original box and paperwork dated 5-23-83 and tools. This is in very good plus to excellant...

I've been looking for reloading data for both .224 & .243 for the new Nosler Varmageddon bullets. I know some here have also had questions about it. I talked to Nosler directly recently and they said these bullets use the exact same data as the ballistic tips of the same weight.

Got a great deal (trade) on a beautiful Rem 700. I have no idea what model it is though. Checked the Rem website and couldn't see where this one fit in. I've included some photos so maybe some of you sharp cookies out there can tell me which model of 700 this is. It's got a 26" bull barrel...

Turkey season just opened here so I was able to get out this morning bright and early. I got a nice box call and have been practicing with it for several months in anticipation of this season. Apparently it's so effective that instead of turkeys responding, I got coyotes. Coyote after coyote...

I put a scope on my GP 100 but it's still shooting 3" to the right, even with the crosshairs adjusted all the way left. I've heard of folks shimming the scope but there doesn't seem to be any room to put a shim in there. Any other way to remedy this? An easy fix would be to buy a new set of...

I found these tracks near my tree stand this morning. I had to do a double take at the sheer size of them. I went back to the car and got a tape measure and went back. At first I thought maybe it was just melted or so but I followed them for several hundred yards in all directions and they...

I'm sure some of you must have done this already but if you like to hunt coyotes over bait, I tried something new last week and it worked beautifully. On a recent ice fishing excursion, I brought home a 5 gallon pail full of pike, perch, and bass. I cleaned them and put the scraps of the...

I prefer the smaller and very fast centerfires. I have most everything from a 17 up to a 308 and about 15 calibers in between. I felt I needed a big boomer, bigger than my 7 Mag. I got a great deal on a new Howa 1500 in 300 WSM. Since I already had about 50 pcs of brass I've collected at the...

I was talking to an avid coyote hunter at work yesterday and what he told me shocked me and I was disgusted beyond belief. I'm a coyote hunter, I use a gun and a treestand with an Alpha Dogg e-call. I have nothing against hunting whatsoever, I enjoy it. Apparently the new way to hunt coyotes...

Is there such a thing as overkill when shooting a particular breed of animal/varmint? Dead is dead, is it not? I shoot coyotes with anything from a 204 to a 300 WSM and 15 calibers inbetween. I pick a gun I want to hunt with that particular day and that's what goes, without regard to caliber...

I got my new Alpha Dogg yesterday so this morning I threw some batteries in it and headed to the woods. I got up into my treestand and waited about 30 minutes for things to settle down. I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to calling dogs so I hit the 1st program of "Expert Hunters"...
