    Vintage (1949) Browning auto 5

    Thanks. Kind of verifies my impression. Interesting, but not really practical. Just wanted to make sure I was not missing something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vintage (1949) Browning auto 5

    I know other sites focus on shotguns, but figure I would take a crack here as it’s the only forum I am on. I received a vintage (based on the serial I believe it’s 1949) Belgian Auto 5. Stilly fuzzy on details but I do not think it’s any special model. Has anyone ever shot or played with one...

    CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs

    Not sure why everyone is so wound up. It sounds absolutely reasonable. Certainly 80/20 is a fair balance of resident options ans still having out of state opportunity every few years potentially. I do hate when wildlife departments try and make things more complex with more than six points/less...

    Your hunting money

    Really a lot of this marital stress comes from spending beyond you means, and a lack of understanding between you ans your spouse about what your priorities are. Though my wife and I do run a joint account and keep separate checking so we do not really see what the other spends. I always...

    Does Dialing Take Too Long?

    100 yard zero here. Dialing no, finding a confident/secure rest, yes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Montana general tag 4 for 4

    Yeah my comment was a little tongue in cheek. I guess my thoughts are once someone has a tag it is his or her choice what they want to harvest and we should not socially shame them for what they pull the trigger on. Antler point restrictions are not a very successful management tool. Herd...

    Montana general tag 4 for 4

    Curious. How does shooting a mature buck vs a “dink” alter the supposed state of the declining deer herd? Both are dead bucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    California’s finest hunting club...

    Still a little hung up on Taxidermized. I had never seen the word used that way. Learn something new everyday. Not sure why someone with a Mexican name immediately makes someone ask if they are legal. Have you spent much time in the south or west of the US? Either way. Glad the charges and...

    Tikka 6.5-284 Build

    The build was great. Shaen did great work as always. I have only put about 60-70 rounds through it, but so far, it shoots better than I ever will I am sure. I have only loaded the 139 Shock Hammers, but the mag has plenty of room if you wanted to go longer. I was happy with the accuracy and...

    Basement bar area kegerator?

    It’s always fun, because but really think about how much beer you consume and the style you like. My dad had a double tap at his house for years and eventually pulled them as he and his friends liked different beers and they would get tired of what was on tap before the keg kicked. Also the...

    Athlon Ares 15-45x65 spotter eye relief question

    I guess I have the same issue, but I do not like to glass with my eyeglasses on so I always pull them off/away and deal with the adjustment in the spotter. My glasses just seem like another layer that degrades the image during a long glassing session. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you think point creep may lead to better quality animals?

    I say the whole concept of “quality animals” is total BS. Every hunter with a tag should harvest the animal they are proud of. We can keep our opinions to ourselves and make decisions for our tag. Stop shaming folks for decisions they make with the tag they are awarded. Some folks hunt for...

    South Dakota Success 2022

    Congratulations, this week was brutal. The howling winds on Thursday and Friday were no picnic as well. As a NorCal guy myself, it always reminds me how soft we are with near perfect weather year round. Not sure where you were at, but definitely seeing the population decline from EHD over the...

    Busted skull plate - display options?

    Damn I just want to hear the story. I say display it busted, seems like a great conversation starter. Unless it just ended up falling out of Your truck or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New world record long distance hit on target

    I actually just ran my stopwatch that long just to get a feel for it. It really is hard to comprehend. Maybe it should not be celebrated as some great new world record, but it sure sounds like a fun project to attempt. Hard to throw too much shade when most of us could not read the...

    Consistently wrong balistic calculator

    I would say #1, check your scope tracking. If that is accurate can you shoot from 100-600 without dialing. If so, are the drops consistent to your ballistic calculations or does it drop faster/slower at distance showing a differential from your calculations. This would make it seem like a...

    California SB 856 Hog Hunting Rule Changes - Curious what you think

    It is very easy to get a depredation permit to deal with private land hog issues. Also noted earlier, if you have a issue on private land, hunting can help pressure them off for a time, but if you have feed they will be back, trapping is really the proven method for cutting the population. It’s...

    Pack-out photos.

    Still putting together the concepts/ studies. I will keep everyone in the loop as the project comes together. A study in dry brush watercolor. It will be a few more months before the oils come together. Maybe spring. Thanks to everyone for the inspiration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
