    Does anybody hunt with sunglasses?

    I always use sunglasses especially when out in snowy areas. They do require my removal when using optics or shooting though but the benefit is worth the extra hassle.

    Elk vs Moose meat, which is better ?

    All things equal, I prefer moose, antelope, elk followed by venison. All are excellent table fare but moose is the best. I have found that the farther north the moose is harvested the better it seems to taste.

    .243 vs 300 win mag

    .243 or .300 It's all about shot placement. I shoot any animal as if I were bow hunting no matter what I am actually using. A double lung works every time.

    I Chron 458 ??? need any info..

    I just recently purchased a old Interarms mark X Whitworth rifle in .458 win mag. The gun is in almost new condition and I feel that I purchased it well worth the money at $500.00. (Kahles Helia S glass on redfield rings included):) Now here is where the questions start. :confused: On the...

    Which one? Range finder vs game camera....

    Koja's on the money. But if given the choice of a trail cam vs: range finder only, go with the range finder.

    Neck shot or behind shoulder?

    As a bow hunter I automatically go for the double lung. You have some room for error due to the larger target area than the neck.

    Strange Happenings In The Woods/Scary Hunting Stories

    This was twenty years ago and it still makes me laugh. I was spring turkey hunting on land that I had not hunted before. Got out about an hour before sunrise and set up the decoys on a small open ridge in the timber. Not the best set up but I had roosted a bunch of birds in the area the night...

    .22 shotshells for snakes while hunting

    I use them allot on chipmunks that are taking over my patio. Wife thought they were cute until they started to chew every pot and chair cushion. But anyway seems like the Winchester type with the crimped ends do a little better that the CCI type with the plastic cup on the end at ending the...

    Compasses

    If you hunt or are in the outdoors much you should always carry a compass. They are cheap and do not need batteries so they most always work. Navigating by map and compass is a skill that all should learn but I have had to use mine before on land that I have hunted all my life and pretty much...

    bullet placement

    I bow hunt allot. For this reason I have programmed myself to always shoot for a double lung hit and do it with my guns also. If the heart is hit its a bonus if not just lungs will do. Due to the large target area this is by far the most reliable way of dispatching any game. But don’t...

    Most "what rifle for long range" threads over five pages will have at least one post that claims to be able to shoot sub minute of angle groups at 1000 yards with military surplus ammo.:D And you have about a 95% chance that it is a Mosin Nagant.:neener:

    Hunting rifle recoil revisited.

    H&H, Thanks for the straight dope. I kinda wondered why the CZ was at the bottom of the price range for a big bore. I am still interested in a Lott. What would be the best gun for the money that is chambered in .458 Lott?

    Hunting rifle recoil revisited.

    H&Hhunter, thats a great read thanks for the information. I have been considering a .458 Lott in a CZ 550 American Mag. Have you or anyone reading had any experience with the CZ and just how punishing is the Lott? I shoot alot and am by my on opinion "recoil educated". I have read that you can...

    Odd Deer Hunting Advice Needed.

    Get a Cabelas or Bass Pro catalog and look for Ideas. As for the guns go with Ruger, Remington or Winchester as the big three American companies. Good Luck. :)

    Pro-gun editorial in Iowa City Press Citizen

    And very proud of it! Any more I take it as a complement because of the values the stereotype represents. Oh and then I call them a "Leftist commie hippie" and walk away. :D
