    Shooting off of brush

    I've not been required to do this yet, but I sure like having the option to do so if needed.

    Essential upland bird gear for under $30

    If he runs dogs in an area where there may be snares. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCX2LL7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 Again if he has dogs this is great. Our new puppy would rather fight to the death than let me trim his nails and he does really well with this trimmer...

    Wisconsin (Midwest) Whitetail Lease cost

    It's often start paying or lose your spot around here. I know of several guys that have gone to talk to the farmer about hunting again this year - same as they have for the last 20. Farmer says something along the lines of "ya know, neighbor down the road just told me he's getting paid X dollars...

    Kuiu tote bags - worth it?

    I know this isn't what you're asking, but I've been using these for years for all sorts of odd stuff. Goose/duck decoys, sleeping bags, waders, clothing, etc. I hang them up and they keep everything clean and off the floor...

    Mercy Kills - Legality?

    I once passed a doe that was hit by a car on my way to work. It was in the middle of a busy highway and obviously paralyzed. I called both DNR and sheriff to see if I could put it out of it's misery before the morning traffic picked up (I'm certain someone would've called me in had I done it...

    Ever find cactus needles in meat?

    I was just cutting some meat and found half dozen or so cactus needles in a piece. Now I'm paranoid. I obviously threw that chunk away but am concerned there may be more that I didn't see. We took quarters off directly into game bags and then layed them on the ground. Obviously one of them got...

    Is LC brass "Good" brass?

    LC brass is good stuff. I ran this stuff exclusively in a 308 for a long time.

    Dog recovery

    I gave my last lab carprofen after hunting or training hard but that was about it. When he started getting tumors on his abdomen I'm sure the vet said he had cancer in his liver and kidneys and wouldn't make it much longer - he was maybe 8 or 9 at the time. His liver enzymes were off the charts...

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    20ga in steel or bismuth is nearly impossible to get around here. The shelves are full of 12ga which I prefer if geese are the target. Another thing you may want to consider is that the SBEs have quite a reputation of shooting high. Most of the guys I know aren't willing to gamble on them anymore.

    Tikka mountain tactical bottom metal

    Got this figured out. It was the "step" machined into the top of the mag release lever preventing it from fully seating. The bump out on the mag was basically hitting the corner of either step rather than sitting on top of the step. Hard to explain but super obvious when looking at it. Would not...

    Tikka mountain tactical bottom metal

    If you've not noticed, then you likely don't have the issue mine does. It's really obvious that something doesn't seem right.

    Tikka mountain tactical bottom metal

    I've got the mountain tactical bottom metal on my 7mm RM. Anyone else have one of these that makes like 2 half clicks when you put the magazine in rather than 1 solid click?? It does this with 3 factory mags. The magazine release is like a hair trigger - touch it twice and the mag drops. Makes...

    140 inch 8 point?

    That's a good picture to show just how deceiving they can be. He looks big on his own, but not THAT big. When he's in with the crowd it's much more obvious how big he is.

    140 inch 8 point?

    It's hard to tell from pictures, but I think he's close to 140. It's a great deer. For 8's they need serious tine length with tons of mass to get the score up there. I was told by a neighbor that was an official Pope and Young scorer that everyone is concerned about width, but in reality it's...

    Caliber Choice On New Rifle

    I'm not sure why you're baffled at the 6.5cm success as you had already listed the reasons for it's success. It will do 90% of what 90% of shooters want.

    Ever mess up a ten yard shot?

    I once grazed an easy 160 class whitetail with muzzleloader. He was at the bottom of a ravine probably 30 ft below me and 20 ft across. Was using a scope and put the crosshairs on the heart. Like you, as soon as I saw the way he reacted, I immediately realized I had messed up. Found some hairs...

    Chris Brackett's Landlife Podcast

    I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a blunt pencil than give Brackett a minute of my time.

    2023 Bird and Dog pics

    So, here's the story on him. We'd recently lost our last dog (white lab) and we were discussing getting another lab or a GSP. I told the wife if we were going to get another lab, I want a fox red as I've already had black, yellow, and white. She was looking at some breeders and found one that...
