    .45 Colt hunting load

    I recently acquired a Blackhawk in .45 Colt with a 7 1/2" barrel. In addition to plinking, I plan to use it as a backup for hunting whitetail (for those close-in shots - no scope). I regularly reload for my rifles, but this will be my first experience rolling-my-own handgun loads. I would like...

    scope on 870

    I'm considering adding a scope to my 870 for turkey hunting this year. I missed one last year - I blame it on my aging eye sight, not the fact that my heart was beating 90mph. I'm looking at the 2.5X Pentax LightSeeker SG. Any comments or suggestions?

    Define please.

    I recall as a kid, my dad would take me to deer camp. The guys were great, but didn't know a lot about proper meat handling. They hunted with dogs, and after chasing a deer for several miles, would shoot it, haul it to camp on the hot hood of a truck, and gutted it when they got around to it. My...

    How many survived the "bb gun" wars?

    I enlisted to fight in the BB gun wars in high school. One afternoon, my cousin and I were riding in the back of a pickup with my brother driving. We were standing, shooting over the cab, at a friend on a motorcycle. :what: We were flying low down a dirt road, when my brother took a sharp turn...

    Has anyone actually used night vision equipment to hunt with at night?

    Scotjute must be an undercover wildlife officer:D Watch out what you admit to. Just kidding Scot. 'Round here hunting at night is illegal. I've never done such myself, but wouldn't own up to it if I had.

    re1973, I know this isn't what you meant, but a little town here in Arkansas has a barbequed coon festival every year. Thousands turn out. Tastes like barbequed chicken:D .

    more skunked skunked: to be beaten so badly by an adversary, that your actual presence in the contest is subject to debate. "I have been skunked so badly this turkey season, that my wife thinks I have a girlfriend with a fetish for camo."

    1st Long Beard

    Congrats on a nice bird. I had a big tom (beard dragging) come within about 100yds Sat. He spotted my dekes and started struting back and forth, gobbling every third or fourth pass, but would not come in. He kept it up for about an hour before wandering off. I almost had a heart attack.

    Patience and Turkey Hunting (hunting story)

    Good stories. So far it has been birds that would gobble at my calls, but not come in and getting busted by not having enough cover or moving (just a little bit) at the wrong time. God, give me patience and I want it NOW!

    1 MOA means a target circle how big at 100 yrds?

    Ya'll got it all wrong! Einstein said that relative velocity distorts both time and space. Therefore, the bullet actually never reaches the target....:evil: :evil:

    spiff completes pucker factor 101, -or- the closest i came to drawing my gun

    Well done. I figure if you're not scared, you don't have proper respect for the situation. You handled it admirably - we can all take a lesson.

    The Black Talon blues.

    My CCL class instructor recommended against using Black Talons in our carry weapons. His reasoning was if you had to use deadly force and the case went to jury, a prosecutor could use your choice of ammo to paint you as some kind of nut just looking for a reason to pull the trigger. This was...
