    35 remington vs Hog

    Hog loses. I went down to some of our land to put out a few game cameras. I knew there was a good chance of seeing a hog in one place I was going so I took the recently acquired 336 Marlin in 35 rem along. The middle field as we call the place is actually a series of long narrow fields...

    Bird 2 Down

    Got number two this morning. Went to the swamp this morning and this bird gobbled at an owl at 5:37. I had fooled with this same bird several days ago and he had flown down out to the left of his tree and walked off gobbling. Today I sat down next to the largest water oak in Packers Bend out in...

    8 Point Bow Kill

    Shot this one at 25 yards quartering away this evening. Grim Reaper eat him up and buried in the ground. watched him run a 70 yard semi circle out in a broom sage field and hit the ground. Blood trail looked like something from a Nightmare on Elm Street film. This deer came in twice. First time...

    Bird Number 3

    Went to the home place this morning and set up on a bird that was roosted near were I killed the first bird this season. In fact I set up near that same little strut zone clearing that I killed the first one in. But things did not go down as simple this time. I was about 100 yards from this bird...

    Second Gobbler of the Year

    Killed my second of the season this morning. Went to one spot first thing this morning and heard two birds gobble way off. But they were not in a good place to try and get on. Ran to a place we call the Middle Field next. Walked out by the pond and yelped with a high pitch box call. A bird...

    Gobbler Down

    Third hunt of the season was the charm this morning. Chris and I had fooled with this bird a few mornings but he had not seemed very receptive to calling. Set up near a little clearing where Chris saw him strutting the other day. He fired up at 06:35 this morning and gobbled 16 times on the...

    My Illinois 11 Point

    I was fortunate enough to shoot this buck Monday evening on the 5th day of a 6 day hunt at a small 160 acre farm in Pike County Illinois. Due to a very wet fall they have been extremely late getting the corn up and the weather turned warm on us while we were up there. Those two factors really...

    Good 6 Point

    I killed this buck about 5 pm Tuesday evening on some of our family land here in Alabama. I was trying to spot a 8 point that I have gotten some game camera photos of that is even wider than this buck. But this deer despite being just a 6 point was too good to pass on, especially with a bow. He...

    Old Rifles for Hog Hunting

    Some of our land has quite a hog infestation. So when life hands you lemons make lemonade. I have been having a blast stalk hunting them with my old open sighted military surplus rifles. Killed this one with the rifle in the photo. A M/28 Finnish mosin nagant and a 203 grain silver bear soft point.

    Not a M/39 Perhaps a M/28?

    I'm the guy who posted that I saw what I thought was a M/39 hanging in a local gun store for 90 bucks. Even though it's in rough condition everyone here advised that I jump all over it for that price. Well I went back and apon a closer 2nd inspection it is not a M/39 but something older still...

    Finn M/39 Question

    I am a newbie to the world of Milsurp collecting and am more of a shooting collector than a serious historical collector. That being the case I spend most of my time here not posting but reading and trying to learn a thing or two. But I ran into something today and I need some advice. Most...
