    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    Michigan started an apprentice where someone regardless of age who has never taken hunter safety can purchase an apprentice license for two years and hunt with a mentor who is at least 18 years old and has passed hunter safety. I was really surprised how many older folks (over 20) took...

    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    Hunting for my family is not just something we do, it's who we are. My kids were always welcome to come with me but I never pushed them. When my oldest son was 10 the state of Michigan changed the age to hunt deer from 14 to 12 for gun and 12 to 10 for archery. I honestly thought it was crazy...

    Just can't fix stupid...

    First time I've seen FIBs in writing. I was taking a sip of coffee when I read it and spit it down my shirt. Pretty accurate description!

    Need an Eastern Bird towards my slam

    Where I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan there are turkeys everywhere. I had 40 in my yard today. I don't usually hunt them because the season always lined up with my busiest time at work. Check it out, I used to let a gentlemen from Wisconsin hunt on my property and he always got a...

    Rethinking Deer Gun

    It is a great gun! I have been searching gun brokers and Cablela's gun library every couple weeks. I originally purchased the same rifle in 280 rem and really liked it. When the kids got old enough to hunt I started looking for one in 7mm-08. Finally while we were on our way home from a...

    Rethinking Deer Gun

    Just curious, how do you like the Camilla? My daughter uses a Remington 700 Mountain DM in 7mm-08. Before handing it down to her my son shot Antelope at 300 yards, a black bear, mule deer and numerous whitetails. My daughter has already killed 4 bucks with it. Now my wife wants to use it. I...

    What to top my new rifle with

    I've been considering a ballistic turret but I am concerned with my lack of attention span under hunting situations. I have a tendency to get pretty excited in the heat of the moment and I am concerned that I will loose track of where I set/left the turret. Personal problem, I know the point of...

    What to top my new rifle with

    I do not have any with ballistic turrets but I have leupolds on all my rifles. I have tried others over the years and ended up selling them on Ebay. Lots of scopes look really good in the store but in the field I have not found anything that I like better.

    Wisconsin

    I know a lot of guys who hunt central to southern Wisconsin along the Wisconsin river. From what they say if your not on private land the hunting pressure is very intense.

    Best Western Caliber?

    Weatherby came out with another 6.5mm the 6.5 RPM, from what I have seen it appears to duplicate the 6.5 PRC. They developed it to fit in a 6 lug bolt. Interesting but I'm not sure the world needs yet another 6.5.

    Sad story but a hell of a way to go.

    That's the way I would like to go out, except for the stress it put on the family not knowing.
