    Shooting High

    Practice shooting at distances further than your planning on hunting. There should be no guessing when your trying to kill deer or elk. No need for that, we should all know better by now. Walking it in on a deer makes me cringe. Shooting steel is fun.

    Buying land in Minnesota?

    If you have to ask about water in MN you need to look what you're getting into. Buy some ground up by Isabella! Or washkish you can thank me later.

    33XC Build

    300 gr bullets! You need that knockdown power at 700yds for elk.

    Ideal Bear Defense Long Gun?

    Just smuggle whatever you need in your pants and tell the border Canucks your hung like a horse. I'm curious with all the recent gun grabs up north what the people who interact with bears consistently are able to pack besides spray.

    I appreciate the advice!

    Your Groups Are Too Small

    Shoot as accurately as possible. Always trying to get better. I need to kill coyotes and wolves which don't give a person many second attempts. Also kill elk and deer but they are large and stationary compared to what I do most of the time.

    Your Groups Are Too Small

    You ever heard of Murphy's law?? Just joking. Yes that makes sense both what you and tock-o said. Going to have to open my wallet up and start really testing some loads.

    Your Groups Are Too Small

    My biggest problem is that I don't know what is acceptable anymore. Always shot 3-5 shot groups. From listening to the podcasts 20rd 1moa groups are pretty good. I haven't done it yet but if I shoot 18 rounds at .75moa and then have 2 out at 1.5 my head might explode. Work 20 more rounds up or...

    Preferred shot distance calling coyotes

    Interesting to hear the differences. I'd be screwed if I had to get them inside 100yds not during denning season. I don't pack a shotgun this time of year so if they come running it's not necessarily a good thing. I bet there are a lot of educated coyotes in thick country.

    Tikka 300WSM to 6.5PRC or other?

    If you like your 300 buy another rifle. I own a 300 and think it's over kill for most things but it's still nice to have. I use my 6.5 for almost everything and it performs outstanding, plus it burns about 1/2 the powder as a 300.

    Beaver hunt in Utah, literally

    Next to nobody is trapping beaver anymore because they aren't worth anything unless the landowner is paying. Buy some 330s, most days checking beaver traps it's not if you got one but how many. Look for bank dens with entrances that have hard bottoms. I don't eat them but feed them to my dogs...

    Preferred shot distance calling coyotes

    I call in a Western state and I prefer to stop coyotes when they get in to 200yds or so for a shot. Had some guys tell me the guys who are good at calling only shoot them at 50yds or less. In my experience any closer than 200 they have a better chance to keep moving and get your wind. Just...

    AR vs Bolt Action for Coyotes?

    A good ar is hard to beat but I've had dirty ones not function in crunch times. I know there are some very accurate Ar's but they don't seem as fool proof as a bolt gun. If I'm going to kill something that really needs to die I'd pack my bolt gun.

    Does Dialing Take Too Long?

    Nice buck. A muley buck chasing does isn't exactly the hardest critter to kill. Defeats the purpose of asking the original question. 200yds isn't long range in my opinion either. I zero my rifles at 200. I don't adjust till 300 either hold or dial depending on time. To each their own.
