I’ve only hunted Florida opening weekend of 2020 season. It was through an “outfitter” and we bounced around from 40 acre orange grove to the next all day. He would park, I’d get out and walk and call, then on to the next one. I saw people hunting on neighboring properties everywhere we went...

Having shot a blacktail deer with a 375 H&H, I can affirmatively state you will probably get a 3/8" hole going in, and a 3/8"-1/2" hole coming out. I can tell you that you will not ruin very much meat. The bullet is only traveling 2400-2500 fps, and is designed for Cape buffalo and elephants and...

G Shock GW-M5610 (known as the ‘square’) is the only watch you ever need. Especially the only outdoor watch you need if you like simple, small and comfortable. It is solar atomic, around $100 on Amazon and proven for decades. Never change batteries, and updates atomic time every night. I love my...

Welcome to AH!!

Annealed about 550pcs of 223 brass today. Coming along nicely.

I used a Catquiver Mini last year and didn't find it too handy. My arrows are 31" long and with the broadhead attached, they're at the limit of it's length adjustability. I found the shoulder strap to be somewhat of a pain too. I actually cut myself once on a broadhead when I was trying to push...

Over the past 15 years or so I have fired more than 25,000 CCI BR4's. While there have been a few FTF in all that they have ALL been due to either headspace issues or weak firing pin springs. Not saying that it can't happen, but IME it ain't fookin' likely.

Enjoy and keep us updated

Congrats!

My .375 H&H is a Ruger #1. My play with plinker load is 49.0 gr. of either IMR or H4895 capped by a 270 gr cast bullet sized to .378". Bullet is the RCBS #37-250-FN and accuracy at 100 yards runs right at 1.5". Recoil is right at factory 180 gr. 30-06 level. Nice fun load and brass seems to last...

I don’t think there is a better repellant than simple 100% deet. It doesn’t smell great, it eats plastic, it always seems to leak out of the bottle, but it always works if you need it. I buy the little pump bottles and pack them in two or three ziplocks because they will leak and you don’t want...

I stayed in Westin once and i liked it. Did not like One thibault so much.
