    Enclosed trailer question

    Sounds like you want the enclosed trailer just for towing a car! What might better serve you is renting a trailer. I have never seen an enclosed trailer for hauling cars and the only advantage I can see to one would be protection the car from the elements. In that case unless you cover the front...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Pulling an RV and boat in weather that the draft of a road truck will bother it much won't probably happen that much. The draft certainly can be spooky but unless the road in icy or your in a down pour, isn't gonna wreak you. Bad thing would be getting a dually. On icy roads and probably even...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    I think probably you really don't need a diesel engine. Most people don't. If you were pulling heavy a lot it's a different story. Diesels are made to work, pulling an RV you probably won't do 50,000 miles a year, likely far less. Probably won't wear out a diesel in your life time. Met a guy...

    Anyone regret going from 3500/2500 series to a 1500 series?

    If I went to a 150 from a 350 or even 250 diesel, I'd try to get one with the 300 6 in it. had one and got bit over 20 mpg with it. Checked fuel when prices went up over $4 a gal and a gas truck getting 20mph is less expensive to run than a diesel truck getting 18 mph! My dodge did better than...

    Anyone pulling an enclosed trailer with a midsize V6?

    I used to pull 45' reefer vans loaded to 80,000 pounds with a 290hp Cat engine engine, always the last one up the hill but always up the hill! My son bought a 42' fifth wheel and had a Toyota Tundra. Went out and bought an F-350 Ford to pull it. Didn't think his Toyota could do it. He has my...

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    I don;t think he was meaning to point a finger but i agree with him, most hunters are pretty bad shots, not all of them though!

    Scope Recommendations

    I'd go 2-7x in a heartbeat. 2x at the range's your shooting works great!

    THERE'S A REASON SOME PREDITORS WERE SSHOT OUT! THING TO REMEMBER ABOUT ANIMALS LIKE WOLVES IS THEY HAVE NOTHING AGAINST EASTING YOUD DOG AND FIGHTING WITH BIG KIDS. ABOUT GRIZZLY BEARS, THEY HAVE HUMANS ON THEIR MENU ALSO!

    30-06 for everything????

    I don't have a clue how high temp might effect a wood stock unless left in the heat to long. Then humidity would probably play a part too. I do think it would be foolish to go without aa good bedding job with the barrel free floated. I free float my barrels more than most. Instead of using a...

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    My experience with goats makes my opinion maybe worth what you pay for it! I've had one 270 and it was stolen before I ever used it on game the first time. But I have a theory about bullet's. I think the really heavy for caliber bullet's belong best in the magnum cartridges. At one time in my...

    Maven Riflescope Recommendation?

    Pay that kind of money for a scope you shouldn't ever have to think about an up grade!

    The gutless method. Why aren't you doing it if you have to pack out?

    I've only done gutless one time. Cow elk fell on a side hill about like this deer. Would have needed a crane to get her out, gutless does work in that situation. But years ago timed myself gutting out a deer and removing the bottom of the legs. Took well under 5 minutes. I was a whole lot...

    Off season for the dogs

    Been over 100* quite a few days now. That hot out and I stay near the AC! Otherwise I keep a bunch of pigeons and run them on Pigeons now and then. Bird hunting anywhere near where I live is pretty bad anymore so this year I'm thinking I'll get a bunch of day old chukar chicks and use my own...

    Centerfire handloads for Small Game?

    When I lived in Montana a friend had a 22 Hornet we shot a lot with cast bullets, probably wouldn't work in California! But at the same time I had a Rem 788 in 222 Rem, most accurate rifle I ever short! Nice 222 Rem in an accurate rifle using 50gr bullet's probably take the heads off rabbits at...

    DBH Pics

    There's some nice photo there. Always wanted some sheep photo's but never in the right spot at the right time. Place in the Yukon on the Alcan called Sheep Mountain. They have a building with deck on it there and the sheep are generally a long way off but really great to stop and see them. Was...

    Wow. I did find it after someone said they found it. But wasn't really sure till I saw this photo! I like that first photo best even if it is hard to find the ram!

    .17hmr weight

    My son has one of those 17's. I've never shot it. I use my 22 mag on things he'd use his 17 on. But thinking about the 17gr bullet vrs the 20gr bullet I can't see how 3 grs is gonna make a lot of difference. I think if it were me I'd shoot the most accurate of the two. Not like your hunting...

    First hunting rifle considerations

    At Sportsmans in Bend, Ore the Tikka T3x in 6.5 CM is $899.00. Got my Mossberg Patriot at that store for well under $400. Mounted a new 2-7X Vortex and total cost was well under the Tikka rifle alone. Shoots well under an inch if I do my part. Everybody doesn't have money to throw away!

    Help me to choose a bullet

    Just wondering, How many shots do you get at 500 yds as opposed to say 200 to 250? Maybe I'm confused here. Maybe you won't take a shot at 250 or less unless its last day and your loosing shooting hours!
