    Night Vision Scope

    I will look into those more for sure. I though about just using a flood spotlight attached to my shotgun barrel and getting one of those Leupold thermal devices to check the bait pile every couple minutes. Then once they all come in its flick the light on and bang. Problem if I need the pigs at...

    Magnums-best recoil compromise?

    My 300 WSM has a muzzle brake. Recoil is comparable to a .243 maybe less. It is VERY loud though. And I'm pretty confident I could kill an elk at 500 yards with it.

    I see your link. I know a couple guys that tried those and the hogs took off when it came on.

    Night Vision Scope

    Thought about trying this one. My shots will be under 100 yards. Probably more like 50 yards.

    Night Vision Scope

    Can anyone recommend a low cost night vision scope? Less than $1,000. I realize that is not going to get me much but I cant justify spending 4,000$ on a thermal scope. I have about 30 hogs on my deer lease that are very unruly and are causing a lot of havoc. Its time to act accordingly. I...

    Which state has the best opportunities and draw odds for Resident Hunters

    You are probably right. I can only attest to Nome, Kotzebue, Anchorage, or Barrow. I flew around in choppers for 14 hours a day 7 days a week in those places and I can tell you those places didn't have much game per square mile....Very little actually. Although, I did see 6 bull moose in the...

    Which state has the best opportunities and draw odds for Resident Hunters

    Tru'er words have never been spoken about hunting Alaska. I worked there for a summer and would never consider living there permanently. You dont walk out the back door and hunt. You go on a couple hunts a year. The rest of the year, you sit around and drink your life away like everyone...

    What Makes A Big Mule Deer?????

    AGE and NUTRITION To answer your question, thats what it takes. With people being able to kill deer "consistently" at 600+ yards its very hard for a deer to get one of those two items. 30 years ago and beyond we didn't have rangefinders. There was more guess work and skill involved and...

    How Do You Define A Successful Scouting Trip?

    A successful scouting trip to me is figuring out how to navigate a unit without having to break out a map. If your breaking out your map when you are hunting you are burning precious hunting time. Let the other guys do that while your out hunting. I hardly ever break out a map if I am hunting...

    Case Cleaning 2019

    I tried the ultrasonic method and I decided against it. It was just too much of pain in the butt and it corroded the cases and primer pockets with the concoctions I tried. It did clean the insides well though. I just tumble mine with a harbor freight tumbler now with the cheapest media I can...
