    Venison Via My Mosin Nagant

    If you're in a state that has Chronic Wasting Disease, do not eat any of the vital organs, including heart, liver, and eyes... anywhere else, feast on my brothers... =) Oh, and congrats on the kill. =) I just sighted in my mosin nagant M91/30 yesterday, no scope... shot a 3/4" group at 25...

    Idaho bags its first wolf

    I'm confused... As of July 3rd 2009, Gray Wolves were placed back on the FEDERAL Endangered species list, which means it is illegal to hunt them in all 50 states.... The Judge shouldn't have to make a decision in Idaho, the Fed already made it for him. On that note... There is science in this...

    .22 magnum for coyotes?

    I've got a .17HMR for pesky rabbits and yotes here in Wisconsin. The superior muzzle velocity and wonderful action of the bullet when it hits flesh pretty much DRTs any animal under 30lbs... In my Savage Bolt Action with Accutrigger, I am hitting .5" groups at 100 yards on a calm day, and head...

    Feral pig range question

    Best diet in the world, the raw pork diet... Let the worm do the work. =) Obviously, you've never seen Snatch... Always beware of a man who keeps pigs, an adult pig can consume 2 pounds of flesh per minute and their teeth can cut through bones like butter. If you want to dispose of a body...

    I let my dog down today

    Ahh, at least you have a dog that will hunt... my lab will stare at a bird and purposely not flush it because he's gun shy... =( Even if I don't have a gun, he won't go near the bird when I plant them for him. He's a lazy boy, but he's my big ass lap dog... I wish I could get my husky to hunt...

    Killed a Deer With Sidearm

    meh, it happens... I get sick like twice a year, and when I do, it's usually whatever bug is floating around... always in spring and fall... =( Sorry about the confusion. Hope to be a welcome contributor to the site.

    Feral pig range question

    They are prolific in Wisconsin too... they grow thick, wiry hair, much thicker than they had in captivity, and both boars and sows grow tusks. From accidental release from a farm in Wisconsin, to the "feral" stage, I've read somewhere that it can take as little as 6 months...

    Absolutely... and that's why I retracted it and clarified... I'm a gun and hunting enthusiast... never an Anti!! Ever!!

    Killed a Deer With Sidearm

    Beg your pardon... I used the wrong words here... no doubt a handgun of less than 6" barrel length is accurate enough out to 25 yards in the hands of the right individual, but in the hands of most shooters who are already experiencing Buck Fever, and shaking as the OP said he was... He was lucky...

    Hunting myths that will mess you up!

    #9310 I've personally had deer walk down the same trail I just walked 15 minutes after I got set up in my stand... With no cover scent. =) #18324 I can stalk any animal, but if I can be sitting in my tree lounge instead, you can bet you won't see me trudging through the woods looking for the...

    Killed a Deer With Sidearm

    In Wisconsin you'd have been arrested for shooting that deer with the CZ75 because the barrel isnt 6" long. You can't even carry a pistol less than 6" barrel length during the hunting season because they just aren't accurate enough to get the job done at any range more than 5 yards. Especially...

    Hunting Mentors

    Adam Jeschke Age: 30 Game Hunted: Pheasant, Deer, Grey and Fox Squirrels, Rabbit Experience: I've been hunting since I was 12 years old. Started going up north with my family when I was 10. I shoot instinctive with bow, and have a fine collection of modern and military surplus rifles...

    Cleaning vs. "restoring" a surplus rifle.

    EDIT: OMG, so idiotic... I didn't even look at the dates on this thread... Sorry for resurrecting such a dead post.. =( Definitely stick with pure Boiled Linseed Oil and Tung Oil to refinish... use the BLO first, as it never dries, let it soak in for a few days in a warm area, and do at least 3...

    Where to find K31's?

    I just called the local Dunham's, and they don't have K31s, but they have a wide selection of Mausers including a Yugo M24/47 for $239... I'm a bit out of the loop on prices right now, but from what I remember, that's not a bad price. I'm still looking for K31s... I have 3 now, but I just can't...

    Ballistic gelatin test results : 7.62x39mm 123gr Hornady V-Max

    The Hornady brand stuff is still in steel cases, and can't be reloaded... and they only have it available in bulk at Cabela's... As if buying Wolf 154Gr for $200 for a case of 1000 wasn't bad enough, now it's $200+ for a 500ct case of 123Gr V-Max that won't perform as well on deer - but performs...
