    Man kills mountain lion with a shovel in Colorado

    If you’re trying to kill something with a shovel, don’t use the flat. Use the edge and swing it like an axe. It’s not as effective as an axe but I guarantee it’ll leave a mark. Also using the point and stabbing might hurt a bit too.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    House slippers and a dress. Standard night time possum hunting attire in that part of Texas. Or bathrobe and crocs.

    Well sheeeet....

    Hopefully you have another rifle you were using prior to this one. I would not depend on that in the woods. Well… I would depend on it to break…..

    How many hunting rifles do you have?

    Four: I have a 1962 Remington in 30-06. It’s the rifle I learned to hunt with, and it has a lot of sentimental value. It was replaced by a Tikka T3XL stainless in 30-06. Browning X-Bolt Stalker in .243 Latest acquisition is a Tikka T3X stainless in 7mm-08. This will be my main rifle for...

    Lightning safety while hunting

    I never go out in a lightning storm without my tinfoil hat, with a quartz crystal glued on the top. It channels my mega positivity brain waves In such a fashion that lightning is actually afraid of me, but makes women adore me. Or so I’m told on woowoocrystalpower.com. Ladies?….. anyone?

    Idiot shooters

    They did kind of pork the pooch on their grammar. “NO TRESPASSING PERMIT REQUIRED”. and “ NO TARGET SHOOTING OR DUMPING VIOLATORS WILL BE FINED”. Some periods would clear that right up. Still, I’d like to hear what the judge would say if somebody tried to use this defense. “ Your...

    30-06 for everything????

    I work on guitars. I see a lot of severe wood shrinkage with guitars and ukes that come here ( Near Reno NV) from wetter climates, Hawaii being one of the more notable examples. Believe me, wood can move… a lot. I know a gun stock is not a guitar, but I would take a minute and check your...

    First Rifle Choice

    Before you buy a seven mag or a 300 WM, see if you can get somebody to let you shoot a box of hunting weight shells through it in one session. If you don’t have a flinch by the end of that session., you’re probably good to go!

    Idiot shooters

    Can’t swing a dead idiot in this town without hitting a live one… “I see dumb people. I see them everywhere. And they don’t even know they’re dumb.”

    Late Onset Solo DIY

    46? What a pup! I took up dirt biking at 44. I’m not in especially super shape… just too dumb to know any better. I’m 63 in my avatar photo, three years ago. Elevation about 9k, about 8-9 miles from the trailhead. Not solo but it’s not cuz I’m old… I’d just rather hunt with my son...

    I thought I needed a new “big game” hunting rifle

    Shoot somebody else’s 300 WM or 7mm RMag before you buy one. Shoot a whole box through it in an hour. I don’t bruise easily, but a box of either caliber will usually leave me with some marks. Some people seem immune to the heavy recoil, but everybody shoots better with a lighter kicking...
