    What firearm (or bow) did you kill your first deer with?

    Remington 760 pump in 35 Rem. Dropped a 4point in it's tracks at 40 yards with my dad in attendance. I was 14. Old Weaver 2.5 scope on it. Damn fine weapon that started as my grandfather's deer gun, then my mom and dad's, and now mine. I will turn 40 later in the month and hopefully the Rem...

    Should I sell it?

    a new hunting rifle seems to be a better reason than holding on to a rifle you arent using and dont have a real need for. Selling it makes sense. Your not in love with it and have a need for a rifle you plan to use. I have still major regrets after i sold one of my pistols. Still I have...

    So do you let two high points pass for 150.00

    i would probably buy them. Then if i hated them or just didnt use them i would resell them or give them away. No way will you lose money on them if you take care of them.

    Using your carry knife?

    thought about this very subject yesterday in fact. My SAK is always with me. The screwdriver gets used so much that is why i have always returned to the SAK as my daily carry. I normally have a folding utility knife with me for box cutting duties at work as well. Even while hunting or any...

    .30-30 vs. .44 mag for medium/large game?

    30-30 for me. Versatility and extended range being the main resaon as stated above. The 30-30 is a 250 yard cartriage with Hornandy Leverevolution ammo. The 44mag is about a 100 yard maybe 125 yard cartriage. The 30-30 is best for deer and black bear. And so is the 44mag. I...

    338-06 vs 35 Wh

    35 Whelen. Easier to find ammo. No real world difference with the two performance wise. Not sure if Buffallo Bore makes the 338-06 but they make the 35 Whelen.

    New .35 Whelen

    sounds like an easy one to me. I would go with the remington for the simple reason is it near mint. The springfield has a pitted barrel (eveni if it is minor). The remington should be more accurate. But that is just me. Reworked military surplus just doesnt do it for me but again that is...

    What is your all-time favorite rifle?

    rem 760 in 35 rem. Took my first deer with it. A gun passed down from my grandpa, then my mom and dad. Wonderfully accurate enough.

    Hunting knives

    Buck 110. It was my dads hunting knife and it has field dressed countless deer. Over 40 years old. He wanted the best after he got out of the Marines and bought the 110 folder. It it is my number possesion from dad even over the deer rifles that were handed down. It is always on me when i...

    Ohio allows Straight-walled cartridge rifles! Now which one to get?

    44mag from a lever-action should work fine and meet all of your requirements. 150yards and in. Recoil minimum from a rifle. Reloading componements are easy to come by but so is really good factory ammo. Proven deer killer. You can put a scope on if you so choose; either way it is a...

    shot a Kimber today and was shocked...at how good it was.

    My Custom II is pure awesome. Great trigger, 100% reliable, and just a pleasure to shoot. I bought mine used with a couple of add ons. I haven't changed a thing on it since I purchased it. My buddies who either have owned or currently own 1911's are in love with my Kimber. Frankly I didn't...

    The old man's knife.

    Carried a SAK for over 20 years. Just can't leave home without a knife and screw driver. Easy to keep sharp and always handy. I have tried clip knives but haven't fallen in love with them. Great post by the way

    Looking to pick out a first centerfire rifle

    223 AR: meets all of your criteria. Practice; accuracy to 300yds; ammo availability and low cost; low recoil; and even hunting(meets this the least). But with the AR platform just change the upper later to a more hunting friendly caliber(if you feel like the 223 is not up to the task) and...
