    USFWS

    I live in an area they migrate through and been on hikes where we stumbled across what must have been tens of thousands of them. Pretty spectacular to see. The one thing I don’t understand is what did they do before the eucalyptus got introduced in Ca? Those trees weren’t here 150 years...

    1,000" Game Farm Whitetail

    “The post stated, “Rocky Ridge Whitetails and Quest Haven Lodge have come together to raise and harvest the largest whitetail to ever walk the planet earth. We give all the glory and praise to Jesus for allowing us to be a part of a harvesting this magnificent animal.” These guys pervert...

    What's wrong with 270 WSM?

    As a guy that started hunting with a 270win and came to appreciate what it offers, I thought at some point I’d step up to a wsm. What I’ve learned is that the 270win does everything I need it to with less powder and easier to find brass. What you will hear people say is that it’s handicapped...

    Airline (international) travel - tips / tricks?

    I’ve had the best luck flying Alaskan in terms of not getting screwed on baggage and oversized fees. Have the airline’s baggage policy printed out and in your carry on so you can correct the agent if needed. Not the whole thing, just the part of the policy that pertains to oversized stuff. If...

    Relocating Family to Argentina

    Sounds like an interesting idea and one that could benefit the kids with a good life experience. Two things….1. Teaching young children things like reading, writing and math is a real skill. My wife is a first grade teacher with a Masters and there is theory, understanding cognitive abilities...

    Vasectomy

    I got cut on Friday. The mental aspect was the worst part about it by a long shot. I asked the doc for a Valium for before the procedure and that helped. Pain was not bad but I’ve also been following doctors suggestion of staying off my feet and not doing much.

    Random question- windshield wipers

    I recently put some Bosch on my tundra. Hadn’t bought a set in several years and was pretty blown away by how expensive they are.

    McGuire Ballistics field and terminal reports

    Tough crowd. I’ve got some on order and will be shooting them to 700 yards.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    Parallax error isn’t going to be the thing that causes you to miss. If shooting for absolute smallest groups at distance, sure, you might want it. But for hunting at 100-600 yards it’s not an issue. Consistent cheek weld and sight picture are what allow you to shoot a scope with non...

    110gr TTSX - 30/06 vs 270 Win?

    If you have H4350 I’d start there. Barnes has it as the suggested powder for that bullet in 270. Book COL at 57.5gr of H4350 is where I ended up.

    110gr TTSX - 30/06 vs 270 Win?

    I’ve loaded the 110gr ttsx in 270 and it’s a great combo for sub 400 yards. I’ve killed deer, antelope and pigs with it. Muzzle velocity is right around 3350 in the load I have with h4350. I don’t think you’d see any real difference between 270 and an 30/06. The likelihood of an exit is near...

    2024 California Bear

    Hard to say if it’s “worth it”. There are lots of them here. If your only experience in Ca is San Francisco, I can say it only gets better from there! Millions of acres of public in Ca, especially where bears live. The bears in the Tahoe/Truckee area are town bears.

    Barnes 6.5x55 data...seems low?

    Barnes, and many other bullet mfg, publish extremely conservative load data for older cartridges, with the reasoning being that many people are shooting them out of older actions of unknown quality.

    Baja Fly Fishing

    OP, Winds this time of year can be an issue, but based on your handle you are probably used to casting in wind. The bigger issue is that the green colder water can be on the beach and it drives the bait away and shuts down the bite. The lighthouse down through Frailes is where a lot of the...

    Do I need more grains?

    Definitely some weird stuff happening with both those deer. I believe what you wrote, but it just simply doesn’t align with anything I’ve seen or experienced. I’m at around 30 animals myself shot with monos, plus a good number of others I’ve been around for that have been drama free, all with...

    Cow elk landowner tags

    Unless he has money to burn I’d have him scratch Ca off his list. $45k tule bull tags are a thing here. Landowner cow tags are about what you’d pay for a guided bull hunt in many other western states.

    Do I need more grains?

    Muzzle velocity north of 3000fps, not impact.
