    IDFG Investigation into Unit 6 Grizzly Shooting

    Awesome the guy didn’t get a citation but… How in the world did anybody think that was a black bear? Is it one of the fish and games classic “we don’t want to deal with managing and informing the public of those critters here so we pretend that they don’t exist” kind of deals? They have been...

    Big bore build, grouse to Cape buffalo

    Wow, what a beauty of a rifle you have there. Excited to see all that you do with this.

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

    I’m running 22.5 grains of H4895 at AR mag length about 2600 out of an AR with a 16” barrel. I run 24.5 in a 22 nosler, haven’t chronod but I imagine it is smoking along pretty good. Wouldn’t mind if it were a little faster in the 223 but really don’t need it to, where I’ll be using it is sub...

    Cape Buffalo: Euro or Shoulder Mount?

    I’m not big on taxidermy at all personally. I think they are really cool, just not for me. I would love to have a few in the house but I wouldn’t love to pay for them. Maybe it’s because I’m young with a young family and I’d rather spend money on other things. (I could either shoulder mount...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Funnily enough, we may as well have them with some of the experience here, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we actually do, some of the guys around here are pretty mysterious. More times than anyone can remember guys on RS have presented legitimate data (not opinion) and hundreds, (if not...

    I think you made a good choice

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    It would certainly be interesting. The easy way to do it would literally be to chop an FMJ and leave the tip pretty close to caliber diameter. But it would be a half assed experiment because lot of the lead core would be exposed and it would be pretty likely to nuke when it hit an animal at...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I’m sure that would be absolutely devastating, especially after going through a barrier like the tree to get the party started with the homemade “hollowpoint”. If I did it I would shoot the doe in the lungs, no shoulder. And I personally would not predict a bang-flop. I would be tracking almost...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I’d also like to add to the thread, unlike most members I actually have a .50 BMG that I could hunt with (from a blind because it weighs as much as I do) With enough donations I will shoot a doe with it with FMJ’s for science. Who’s in? 🤣

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    As someone who has spent a lot of time behind a M2, (never shot anyone with it though) this isn’t even remotely difficult to wrap my head around. The .50 BMG first and foremost is an anti material round. They are meant to penetrate like a SOB to turn cover into concealment and disable vehicles...

    Humbled

    I never, ever, ever, under any circumstances am in the woods during season without whatever weapon the season is for. I’m sure you will live by that rule as well going forward. That sucks

    Humbled

    When I was a kid (15) my dad took me out of state bowhunting. He had just gotten a new bow and had given me his old one, a Hoyt turbotec that he hadn’t bothered to turn down from 70 pounds (somewhat irrelevant to the story, but still funny). The first night he got me up in a tree and not long...

    Backpack Training

    Easy one for me is to just throw a bag of heating pellets (40lbs) in. If I am feeling really sassy and self loathing I’ll put two in.

    A Skunk Adventure. Now, what's next?

    Too bad you killed it… Around here the big joke with commercial fishermen is to let them go in the middle of the night on your buddies boat. You can have fun with a skunk

    Enough gun?

    Christ, I’m in more trouble than I thought. That’s why she left

    Enough gun?

    Hmmmm. Is this based off of cartridge length, or diameter? What about the most important, foot-pounds at the muzzle?

    WTS Tikka sale

    My dad is an FFL and that’s like $150 below his cost from his distributer. IMO it does seem a little too good to be true. It’s fun to pretend it wasn’t though. I hope anyone that did order one, gets it!

    Enough gun?

    My “insurance” is shooting something that I enjoy to shoot, and can afford to shoot the living shit out of so I can be proficient as possible. I have a nice -06 as a “big gun”, haven’t shot it in probably 5 years now. No need.

    Critique my 300 Win Mag build

    I’m with you here. Won’t even be near one being shot. Even being next to something like a 6.8western with a brake feels like you’re getting socked in the face with every shot. Miserable.
