Dandy Great kill; love hunting with my excalibur here in Arkansas; have to wait until oct 1; good luck on the rest of your season

Remington 870 Remington along with every other gun company has to make a gun now that will "compete" with others on market; it is unfortunate that we have allowed foreign countries to put their "junk" in our gun market but we have; in order to survive, all gun companies make cheaper models to...

30-30 Nothing wrong with owning several different rifles but as far as I am concerned, there is nothing that handles better than my marlin 30-30; the new ammo by hornady now makes a 30-30 deadly at 200 plus yards; I am a firm believer that a 30-30 will be all one needs to chase whitetail deer;

Wife bought me a new T/C encore pro hunter stainless, synthetic stock 50 caliber muzzle loader; what rifle barrel? looking at the 25-06, 30-06, and 270; also what scope would you recommend for a single shot T/C? thanks

One caliber; The animals you are planning to hunt will die with any of the calibers listed BUT the choice YOU must make is dependent upon budgets and the ability to practice; some loads are cheaper than others as far as practice rounds; with that said, 30/06 first choice 270 second...

Hunting with a bow Welcome to a BIG circle of hunters; the only problem with bowhunting is very addictive; keep your shots (IMO) 25 yards or less; use nothing but RAZOR SHARP broadheads and practice shot placement; Another area you might want to check out is hunting with a crossbow...

Bolts docsleepy; Bolts guns IMO, are the most accurate because of the way they are made and operate; not saying that autos are not accurate but most of the time the most accurate of the two would be the bolt action;

Had a good time remembering the past; the singleshot is a winchester 16 ga with a full choke barrel; still is in excellant shape for its age; there is no telling how many rabbits and squirrels were taken with this gun both by him and my dad; alot of great stories behind this one; Wonder why...

Reasons for the "hunt" Many things could be said but hunting is just who I am; I am able to connect with the past, see things more clearly in the present, and have greater hope for the future; when out in the woods, God is more present than any church I have ever been in; his creation is more...

Alaska Alaska has always tugged at my heart strings but probably will stay just a dream; reguardless of what gun is chosen, I would outfit myself with a Smith and Wesson 500 mag or a 454 casull; in BIG bear country, one cannot "out-gun" himself IMO;

Bear medicine All calibers listed are great but don't forget about the Marlin 444 with the new hornady ammo; I am seeing good 200 yard groups with this combo at the range; ...:)

I am talkin' your "go to, no worries" shotgun that does it all for your hunting needs; turkey,deer,ducks,geese, and all small game; My old faithful remington 870 12 guage 3 inch mag with a fixed full choke 30 in barrel; never once failed to fire, and wal-mart couldn't hold the meat I have...

What would you choose for hunting whitetails? remember, ONLY ONE!!! Action Brand Caliber; For me, remington model 700 BDL in the 7mm mag topped with a nikon 3x9 and nothing but hornady ammo...:)

Buying Have bought several new guns but I am a vintage shotgun nut; I buy mostly used winchester single barrel shotguns; have one in every guage in the 37 models; I love hunting with single barrels both in rifle and shotguns; I like to hunt like my grandfather did years ago; The old guns...

A big smile Watching a group of feathers fall on the water after a greenhead hits first; watching a whitetail deer hit the ground dead after one clean shot; watching a gray squirrel through a scope waiting for it to stop long enough for a shot; hearing the thunder gobble of tom wondering where...
