    CVA Accura V2 with Blackhorn 209 84 grains, what’s the best bullet?

    I have the same V2 and shoot the Hornady sst 50 cal low drag sabot with 300gr 45 cal pill over 75 weighed grains of BH209. I’ve taken more than a few heads north of 165 yds with it and would feel comfortable to 200 yds as my personal limit. If shooting beyond that is a possibility I’ll take the...

    First hunting rifle considerations

    Some good information posted already but I’ll add some to confuse you a little more. LOL Don’t over look a used rifle for your first gun. There’s a lot of guys out there that just like to keep trying new stuff for a little while then sell it later down the road. I’ve bought or traded for used...

    Dad let me go with him starting at 6yo but wouldn't let me shoot anything until I was legal to do it . That means purchasing a junior tag. 12 for bow and small game 16 for gun big game . Learned a lot in 6 years. My first bow buck at 12 went like this. " I've given you enough information to be...

    I've got 20 acres in upstate ny, what would you suggest to improve it?

    You are not going to compete with all of the ag when it is in the ground. I would stratagize on what they are going to need after the ag is harvested and before it comes up.. Several things come to mind. Ladino or Duranna white lover for sure, cerial rye, Austrian winter pea's. radishes, and...

    Down booties for stand hunting?

    Tried the booties and they didn't solve the problem. Two things have helped tremendously. A boot dryer and these. I've paid $30 bucks for socks in the past but this has been a game chager. No packing extra stuff , no changing socks on stand, no noise making on stand in the dark. Put the boots on...

    Any guess on this deer's age and score?

    I'd let him walk. He has good potential , just needs a little more time.

    Thoughts on this Huntin Fool moose video ethics?

    Poor choices in both situations. Bow shot #1 was quarting to and a low percentage angle for lethality, bow shot #2 was a hail mary in an effort to repair shot #1, that didn't work either. The rifle work was an embarasment and purely a game of numbers. I'm not in the camp that an outfitters...

    Sierra Game King Bullets

    Its been a while since I have taken my 7RM for a walk but I shoot the 175 SGK SPBT out of it.They are accurate and lethal. My only dislike is the amount of blood shot meat. From whitetail to elk they have done their job . If you hunt in thick cover and like giant blood trails that Hellen Keller...

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    As mentioned by the others above , knowing when and when not to shoot is most important. As you can see by the varied responses here it doesn't take a whole lot of gun to put these things down. Unless your going solo in griz country your legs and hips will thank you for carrying a 6lb 6.5 or...

    field dressing responsibilities?

    ^^^^^ What he said^^^^^ I’ve done half a dozen diy moose hunts but if I were paying 20-30k for an outfitted hunt the expectation would be full service. You want to charge a premium then you better deliver premium.
