    7mm-08 with 175 gr bullet

    Both my wife and daughter's 7mm-08 are in the Camilia, they love them. I have 2 340wbys, it used to be my go to gun but 15 years ago or so I started using my 300wby more so it's been a while since I've killed anything with a 340. The recoil isn't as bad as most people think, but it's not as...

    7mm-08 with 175 gr bullet

    I have three 7mm-08s bought the first one for my son, he's killed numerous whitetail and a black bear all with 140 grn bullets. I purchased one for my daughter, last year she killed a bull elk at 362 yards with a 140 grn TSX bullet (one shot kill), she killed an antelope at 415 yards with the...

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    I was worried about my daughter using a 7mm-08 on elk but it did just fine. Stepping down to a .22 is in my opinion irresponsible. Eventually if you hunt enough, you will make a poor shot and these small calibers do not create a large enough exit hole to produce a good blood trail. In my...

    Anyone have experience w/Ravin or 10 Pt Xbows

    I have a Ravin R10, have had it for 3 years. I have not killed anything with it, but my son killed a 6x6 elk in Wyoming and my daughter has killed a whitetail buck with it each of the last 3 years. I am not an expert when it comes to crossbows, but I really like the R10. Incredibly accurate...

    The Corner-Crossing War Is (Mostly) Over…For Now

    Agree 100% it should be up to you to know where you are, it shouldn't be the responsibility of the landowner.

    Is There A Wolf Coverup in Colorado?????

    I would like to say that I am surprised but what do expect from people who thought it was a good idea to reintroduce wolves in the first place.

    The 40 acre deer refuge 2025

    One of the hardest things about catching Coyotes is keeping everything else out of your traps. For me the first week of season is all possums and skunks.

    I'm surprised you haven't caught any skunks.

    The 40 acre deer refuge 2025

    I was taught to always offset my traps to left about 2 inches because someone did a study and something like 65% of the time Coyotes approach from the left. Supposedly some professional trappers set up cameras at their sets. Not sure if that is true or not but I did start offsetting me traps...
