.338 Federal is a .308 case, so it would fit the 'short-action' criteria listed above, and be better on moose than the '06. It's ballistics are better than you might think. I say try it.

Listen carefully to the theme song next time Barta is on. It has the lyrics 'you're the man, Tred Barta!' in it. Complete tool. Watch the episode where he tries to arrow a duck. Hypocrite used tractors to move round bales into a blind, then talks about how he hunts in a 'natural' way. He...

Hey Art I've got a client coming in to hunt predators in early Feb. Here in MO, we've been covered in ice for a while, and everything is starving. The coyotes are mating, and I've been seeing them out in the open, along with red fox. I've been trying this baiting thing lately, too, and today...

brush busting I'm not looking for a fight here, I just remember the NRA magazine (I think) did a test wherein they shot all kinds of bullets through a screen of brush at targets and actually found the opposite: fast, sharp bullets deflected less than slow, round ones. The only point being...

Check out Hoover Creek Outfitters at www.hunthoovercreek.com It's a friend's place, but I really think you'd agree it's a great hunt at a great price. 100% fair chase with guys who grew up there and care about the place. They're building a tremendous lodge right now. Can't hurt to contact them...

I don't know if this counts or not, but this year Illinois had a late CWD season in the northern counties. I went up and hunted Friday, killed a doe, and then the weather turned bad. I still had a buck tag, but also lots stuff to do Saturday, and the Bears played Sunday, so I called it a...

Ballistic Tips JCord, I hear you. I just worried that in .243, we might be dealing with a varmint round. Thanks

Butchering rbernie, it sounds like you know exactly what you're doing.

genetics debate I'm with Blackfork. First of all, who aged your deer? I've had the check station people get it very wrong on many occasions previously. Secondly, we manage thousands of acres and have lots of food plots, game cams, etc. You can't say that because a young buck doesn't have brow...

Wet blanket... ...Sorry, but the .243 and 6mm are proven cripplers, particularly if you're going to shoot at a big buck with a less-than-perfect shot. Or downrange where the little pills slow down and get moved about by the wind. Shot placement is critical, of course. Shoot the heaviest bullet...

Turkey, I mean coyote hunting Here in MO, we have coyotes come in to our turkey decoys and calling about as often as gobblers! Try a hen decoy and some clucks. If that's legal, of course.

Just had this conversation... ...with a hunting buddy the other day. I'd always thought a coyote couldn't kill a deer, either. That's because I'd seen a buck thoroughly stomp one once. My friend has had the opposite experience, watching a coyote kill a small buck by himself. Guess that's as...

'coyote killer' There is actually a compressed-powder .22 mag loaded with hornady expanding tip bullets called the coyote killer. I forget the name of the manufacturer (It's not a big three loading), but you can google it.

From experience... ...12 ga slugs work great on boar. 9mm slugs, even 6 or so, do not!

Boring... ...I know, but I'm throwing my hat in the ring for the 870 combo. Bought mine for $200-something over 10 years ago. 3" chamber and cheap, readily available choke tubes mean you can hunt any fowl or furry critter on Earth. My 20" fully rifled slug barrel has taken deer at distances I...

No news here... ...but my Chocolate Lab bitch has done great on quail, dove, woodcock, chukars, grouse, pheasants, ducks and geese. She will also retrieve cottontails and squirrels, attack coons and other varmints on command, blood-trail arrowed deer, and well as bring coyotes right to me...

Careful! Chainsaw: I got it straight from H&R (makers of the NEF guns) that we cannot drill and tap shotgun receivers. Called this year cause I wanted to get my brother a scope mount for his 12 ga slug gun. They said the barrels are too thin and that only silver-soldered mounts are OK...
