A friend that owns Capital Sports in Montana (who seasonally hunts in Arizona) recently told me that there are hunting regions in Southern Arizona adjacent to the border with Mexico that are marked: "Contact Homeland Security for More Information" before hunting in these areas. Any of you guys...

Many hunters in Montana have seen this recent picture that shows the difference in size between a wolf and a coyote. I thought THR hunters outside of Montana would find the comparison in size interesting. It used to be said that no wolf had killed a person in the lower 48. This is no longer...

Ever consider a THR cookout so we could all get together somewhere for good company, food, talk and guns? :)

I am preparing to have a classic Winchester M-70 in 458 win mag converted to 460 Short A-Square. Originally I was considering conversion to the 458 Lott but didn't feel comfortable with the result due to several issues that I previously discussed on THR in a couple of different threads. The net...

I am looking at a Ruger Blackhawk, short barrel, stainless in 44 mag as bear medicine of last resort backup for elk season if my M-70 375 H&H rifle fails after taking an elk and a bear shows up. Revolver does not appear to have an internal locking system but I need to be certain since I will not...

I was at a local sporting goods store in Helena Saturday to get some bore solvent and happened to see a S&W 500 with a short barrel, (while asking a question at the counter comparing copper removal products). The S&W had the internal lock, which is a turn off for me because IMO gun safety is...

I obtained ten rounds of Hornady 458 Win Mag 500 grain DGS superperformance ammuntion from a friend and with a different friend and his chronograph tested five rounds using a stock 458 win mag Winchester model 70 with a 24 inch barrel (to try and duplicate the barrel length of the Hornady claim...

Ok; this is meant to stimulate discussion and I am not going to say anything to begin with to provide arguments either way so there is no bias to start the thread. I have DGRs chambered in both cartridges and am in the process of having a model 70 in 458 win mag re-chambered to 458 lott for my...

Week before last I was out with my daughter to purchase her first rifle in Helena Montana. While we were driving to the Sportsman's Warehouse in Helena, we saw a down and out rancher that was asking for money with his wife off of Montana st. We had to shift lanes at the light to donate twenty...

I tried to post this on the Boonie Packer safari sling thread but the forum software response was the thread was old so I started a new thread. I tried the safari sling on my large bore hunting rifles, which are equipped with barrel bands and express sights (no scope) and it didn't work well for...
