    Dispatch gun

    take down 10-22, fits nicely in my sled box. Early in the season (up til around Christmas) its also a 45-70 or a .375 H&H . Land sharks can still be active... For reference, my hand is 10" across.

    Ram/hemi guys - lifter issue

    Maybe you've caught it early enough then. Mine threw a CEL. Mine sounded like yours for a few months and I thought it was the exhaust manifold for a while, as it sounded similar to when one of the manifolds did need fixing. The misfires started awhile after the CEL popped up. I tried the...

    Ram/hemi guys - lifter issue

    Put a code reader on it and if it says cylinder 3 start looking for a replacement engine. At about 120000 miles mine started filling up the engine with metal bits. If you're handy, pull the vvt actuator. If it's clean put a new cam shaft and lifters in it- your engine will be mostly torn...

    10 gun and 36 gun safes

    Picked up an old Mosler safe from a gov't auction. Paid $200 for it and it was advertised as no combination but when I went to inspect it the doors were open so I knew I could get it re-combo'ed. Ended up being highest bidder and when I went to pick it up I found a piece of paper with the combo...

    Hunting plans

    The family sheep hunt at the end of Aug turned into a a bit of a disaster but last Monday my wife and I and a good friend got out for a moose hunt. We were going to go for 3-4 days but we left about 0830 Monday morning and were home by 3:00 PM Tuesday. Helen got her first moose!

    Help me pick my rifle/optic pairings

    The closest I have to your list is a couple of Kimbers and a couple of Sako's. I have the Swaro Z5 3.5-18 on a Kimber varmit pro (.223) and a Leupold VX3 with the CDS on Kimber Montana (6.5CM). Also a Swaro Z3 on a Sako finnlight (7-08) and Zeiss Victory on a Sako Kodiak. So... I'd be inclined...

    facts as you age:

    Discovered that at 61 this is my last year of doing no pre-season prep for sheep hunting. The first few days sucked!

    Coyote gun

    Concerning the 6.5 CM for coyotes... Just happened to drop one on the edge of my lawn this morning, normally would have used a .223 but the CM was still out from recently getting back from a sheep trip. The exit hole from the 147 gr ELD-X will require a bit of sewing...

    Seeking advice!

    After "X" number of years teaching.... how's your patience holding up? :D I say that 'cause long sits behind the glass can be your biggest asset, especially if you're targeting alpine deer. Online scouting is fine but if you're close enough nothing compares to boots on the ground. Satellite...

    Suggestions/recommendations for location for wilderness first aid class

    If you're going to commit to a WFA seriously look into the Advanced (or higher). I recertifiy in a 4 day course every couple of years in AWFA and ours includes a transport component. It's probably more likely that you will come across somebody who needs your assistance and if medevac is going...

    Those 12ga blank perimeter trip wire things

    I have a pack alarm that I sometimes take. Bought it so the wife would sleep better at night when I introduced her to back country hunting. Light, doesn't take up much space and loud as hell when it goes off. If it's triggered the noise is a real motivator to get out of bag and see what set it...
