    Turkey

    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...

    .375 h&h for whitetails

    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...

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    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...

    Let's See Some Hunting Knives

    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...

    Anyone else having problems with CCI primers?

    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.

    New handloads for my 375 H&H

    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...

    Do I need to worry about insects?

    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...

    Top 5 plains game?

    In May 2014, my kid and I hunted plains game in South Africa. 300WBY for both. While I have 200 grn Nosler PT, he has 200 grn Nosler AB. Reloading materials was more difficult in 2014 than it is currently. One shot kill, 200 PT, huge zebra. One shot kill, 200 AB, huge red hartebeest. I could...

    25-06 Rem in Africa

    I just received a Friday, June 25th, and I got it shooting 1/2MOA groups with 100 gr rem. core pieces. I killed a deer on Saturday morning; I was responsible for the first shot, which just knocked it down by knicking the backbone. The second shot was placed just beyond the shoulder crease, with...

    358 Norma

    Life would be impossible without my 358 Norma. In reality, I own two Rem 700s and a 98 Mauser. Unfired and incomplete is the Mauser. I would never give up the 700, but I could give up that one. Where are you in Montana? I rarely venture into bear country without the Norma, even if I'm just...

    Which Talley Mount

    I’m not sure how many different models they make. But the Talley Ultralights are very subpar, especially in comparison to the Hawkins rings of similar style.

    Dreaming of a Double Rifle...

    The doubles are stunning and definitely out of my financial range. Quality comes at a price, but even then, reasonableness has its limitations. Most people really cannot afford a rifle if their lives don't really depend on it on a daily basis. However, the topic of this thread is dreaming.

    Revolver holster recommendations

    For your holster, I would consider JM Custom Kydex. I have a few, and they are excellent. For both my 4 inch Security Six and my 4 inch GP100, I use the AIWB holster. I also own a number of Tony's IWB holsters. They are nicely constructed. Although they don't produce K Frames, Dark Star Gear...

    Advice on waterproof bag

    you can purchase waterproof bags, backpacks, and sling bags on Amazon for a lot less money. Of course, you won't receive the same warranty or customer support that comes with bags bearing well-known brands.
