    Trapping Coyotes On Property That Has Wild Hogs

    If no bears are bothering your feeders, you are extremely lucky. The only way I can keep them from destroying my feeders is to put a 5 gallon feeder on a cable suspended between 2 trees or tall posts. However, they still come in, eat all the corn on the ground, and keep any deer from coming in.

    Big fat beaver

    I killed this one with a shotgun while duck hunting in a swamp. I was straddling a submerged beaver run when he swam through my legs. He scared the snot out of me. He weighed just short of 50 lbs. The cleaned skull shows the orange teeth.

    Bad News for Deer Hunters: CWD in 2 Men

    But releasing irradiated screw worm males that were impotent is what eliminated the screw worm from Florida in the '50s. Before that thousands of calves were lost due to screw worms annually. Until the 1950s Florida had open range ... no fences. Travelers on the roads were expected to yield to...

    Bad News for Deer Hunters: CWD in 2 Men

    We have one county bordering Alabama where a road-killed deer had it. The county I hunt in is 4 counties away so I'm worried about the future.

    Twist on a .45 T/C Patriot?

    Thanks. I tried to measure it but a relatively short 7 1/2" barrel led to several readings depending on how tight the patch was. I'm going to try to shoot a deer with it this year if my 80 y.o. eyes will work a little longer.

    Twist on a .45 T/C Patriot?

    I've had a Patriot for about 15 years but never hunted with it. Just for kicks I loaded a 200 grain R.E.A.L. in front of 30 gr. of 3F black powder. I fired at 22 yards from a rest and the cast REAL formed a perfect hole about 3 1/2 inches high. The recoil was moderate but I will experiment with...

    Surprising and funny things that happened while hunting

    I have a friend who told me this story. I won't vouch for its veracity. He was hunting on some undeveloped lots across the street from his house where he had seen deer tracks. In order that he not "spook" his neighbors he had camo clothes stashed in the bushes of the lots. He hunted with a...

    Deer retrieval unit finally done ....lets see yours!

    I use the same thing for deer retrieval. Toss it in the bucket and drive it to the skinning rack .... or use it as the skinning rack.

    More reliable Remington or colt cast your vote n tell why

    By just looking at them, the1858 has more strength due to the addition of a topstrap. An enclosed “box” is much less prone to fractures. The Colt’s wedge is problematic also. Plus the Remington is so much more user friendly due the simple and quick cylinder swap ability.

    Wyoming Spring Bear

    The only thing I can say is I don’t know of any place in Wyoming that’s lower than 4500 feet. So you probably don’t have to worry about that. The lower elevations of the Big Horn mountains is probably a good bet.

    Kibler range report

    I’ve found that the harder it is to seat the load, the more accurate it is. Just my 2 cents.
