    recording hunts

    I think what people wanting to take photo's on hunts should do is decide if your going hunting o photographing. I have a P&S I bought just to carry around running my dogs. My DSLR was simply to bulky to handle the camera and dog tools. Now I can go out and if I get a photo I want, put away the...

    First Brown Bear

    Wow! 20 yds from a live wild Brown Bear with a bow! I'd read years ago that Fred Beat had stopped a cape buffalo charge with a bow, living in nothing but guts!

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Doesn't surprise my other than the Hornet bullet is pretty light weight. I think that's a place where it may well work but there are better choices. What do you call exceptional accuracy? Shooting out of the bed of your truck might not be the best place to shoot from. And was this a standard...

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    Two places I really hate going in Oregon are Bend and Portland, I don't go to Portland at all anymore. Only reason I go to Salem is I have family there otherwise it would be out also. Haven't been to Springfield/Eugene in years and don't miss it! Went to my brother's in Salem on time and sitting...

    2024 DIY Muskox in July

    I know a lady in Arizona did a Musk Ox hunt in the N.W. Territories some years ago. She claimed it was the best meat she ever ate!

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    No one wants to waste meat? Go back up and look at the photos! See you live in Wasilla. Lived there about a tear myself. Also lived in Rainbow about a year, about two miles back behind Scatter's bar.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    You might be right but I have seen the difference between the 100gr bullet from the 243 and the 117gr bullet from the 25-06, have used both! I'll take the 25 cal bullet!

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Scratch your jaw if you want. If your doing it about the difference between the 100gr and 117gr bullet, I been there and seen it first hand! I have always subsistence hunted so I find wasting meat simply to kill something off color! And I don't take photo's of animals I've killed either, never...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I'd read years ago that Eskomo's prefered rifle was the 22 hornet. Don't know if that true or not but I would not try that. I think with the right circumstances and bullet selection and bullet placement it would work. Other cartridges give better selections of bullets and placement. I don't know...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Cameron is right. Years ago I had a family to feed and not a lot of income, I fed my family! If things were the same today, I'd feed my family! You don't like it, I don't care!

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    That is a lot of wasted meat! best shot I'd call the neck shot. Dead right there with lot less wasted meat. Miss understood your question which are which. You'll notice every shot but the neck shot waste's a lot of meat, the 243 and 223 if used in one of these is as bad as the rest problem being...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I have also killed three deer with the 243 with three shots. The two 100gr bullet's I used did shoot through but the 75gr bullet made a mess inside and didn't go through. I believe the real down side of the 243 is lack of good bullets! 25 cal has a better selection of them up to 120gr. and the...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    No but I have with 50 and 55gr varmint bullet's from 22 CF's. Have also killed three deer with the 243 and I don't recommend it either. Because something is possible is no reason to recommend it! Most my deer have been shot with the 25-06, 6.5x55, 7mm Rem Mag and 308 Win. have also killed a few...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Well to be honest I have killed deer with the 22RF and 22 CF, both 222Rem and 223 Rem.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I believe that worst came to past I could kill every shot with a 22 LR IF, I could get in the position I want. With a 223, no sweat but again depends on me getting the position I want. I can shoot the mild to non recoiling loads lots better than recoiling loads also. But no matter what I still...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I'd guess there's something to that. I recall when Carmichel fooled with the 260 Rem one of his thought's was to tame recoil on long strings of shots in the target game!

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I won't. Thing missing is you have to know where to put that first shot.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Let me correct this. "Killing power is there with the smaller cartridge's depending on the skill of the shooter".
