    The Memes Thread!

    A number of years ago I was at the supermarket with my hunting provisions in the basket and the lady in front of me remarked that if she didn't know any better she would swear that I was going hunting since I had exactly what her husband usually bought for his hunting trips.

    338 Cal Rifles

    If it is still available I might know where a .340 Weatherby Alaskan is for sale. If I remember right it is listed at $1275 and is in Tennessee It has the black fiber stock and nickle plated along with a fixed muzzle brake. I believe that it comes with dies and some brass.

    Weather conditions as it relates to the calendar, elevation and state?

    I hit the enter button before I was ready. the same can be said for migrations into and out of units. As for breeding it will usually stay at the same time year in and year out.

    Weather conditions as it relates to the calendar, elevation and state?

    Weather is always a crap shoot no matter what time of year you schedule for your hunt. I have seen areas that are dryer than popcorn farts in September and then then next year have 3 feet of snow. All you can do is to cross your fingers, hope for the best, and plan for the worst.

    338 Cal Rifles

    For me I tried out bullets up to 250 grain and finally decided on the 225 Barnes TTSX, this bullet hits like a 250-270 grain one is a very good all around bullet.

    338 Cal Rifles

    You left out one. The 340-378 Weatherby. But I love my .340 and will never give it up. I have a load for it shooting a .225 grain Barnes TTSX bullet at 3000 fps that is lights out for whatever it hits. I have taken animals with it from 90 yards to close to 800 yards with all shots being...

    Just wait until you are 60, the pounds come out of nowhere and it takes forever to get rid of them. But I am just 3 years shy of 70 so it is going to get even worse.

    Please critique my caribou gear list

    And the most important thing to place into a zip lock is TP along with a few wet wipes, not in the same bag. Even in my truck the roll of TP is in a zip lock bag

    A good book

    One thing on the CJ Box Joe Pickett books is that you really need to start at book one. If not at times you will be in the middle of something and it will take a bit to figure it all out. I read one that was about in the middle on my trip to Africa and then my sister gave me the whole...
