    Do I need more grains?

    No. You are doing fine. Heavier bullet with copper will be going slower, which will reduce upset/bullet opening up and actually decrease trauma. Those shot distances you listed it won’t make a huge difference because everything will be going plenty fast inside of 400 yards, but with monos...

    Slug gun recommendations

    I have a savage 220 sitting at the shop waiting to be picked up. I researched it quite a bit and pretty much everything pointed to the savage 220 as the best option. They certainly aren’t “nice” guns…pretty basic stock and they cycle a bit rough but accuracy is supposed to be the best which...

    Kuiu Venture 2300 versus the Exo K4 2200. Thoughts?

    I own both. If meat hauling is not needed then I would grab the Kuiu pack every single time. The kuiu 2300 is actually a really nice pack. Well thought out.

    Sauer 100 - Talk me out of it

    I own a Sauer 100 and it’s a great rifle. When I was in the market I was trying really hard to like the tikka that was next to the Sauer, but the Sauer just felt better in every way to me. Flush mag, very good trigger, stiffer stock and egronomics on stock are very good. I do not notice any...

    Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle

    Seems like a cool project. Not for me, but will be what many are looking for and it’s good to see a company step up. There will always be improvement. Can’t fault people for pushing forward. There seems to be a tone in many of the responses that they have been misled when they have not...

    Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills

    Conversation and debate are healthy but it seems like this is topic has been beaten to death lately. The information is out there. Lead bullets work, copper bullets work…use what makes you feel good. Much like anything now days you get people who aren’t satisfied that they’ve found something...

    Antelope Hair

    Depending on the climate and temp…hang it up and hose it down and give it a good scrub. I know people get nervous about getting meat wet, but if it’s cold and dry out, and even better if there is some wind, it will be dry minutes later. If it’s going to a butcher he’s going to hang it in a walk...

    Classified prices

    People are free to ask what they would like, and people are free to offer what they like, but I always find it easier when selling to price things competitively for a fast sale. High asking prices lead to having to bump the listing, wading through offers, people flaking. You price things right...

    Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills

    DRT is the only entity that takes this approach to shipping component bullets into CA. The rules are not vague, nor is DRT stepping into any legal gray area by shipping to people’s door. When the likes of Midway, Bass Pro, etc will ship bullets to your door you can be damn sure that a lawyer...

    Prop 127 struck down!!

    Great news for sure, and should serve as a blue print for future battles. They aren’t going to stop.

    Trail Access Restrictions - No UTVs = No Horses

    Side by sides are useful sometimes in some places, and I don’t necessarily hate them, but they are an absolute scourge on public lands during hunting season, and my hope is they are banned in more places during hunting season. They create a race to the bottom. As the forest gets louder, game...

    SuperCrew to SuperCab pickup

    I have a tundra double cab (smaller cab, 6.5’ box) and wouldn’t buy a half ton with a 5.5’ bed. Child seats do fit back there just fine. I have two car seats in mine now ages 6 and 2. I’m 6’3” so have the driver seat back a ways as well. As far as adults sitting back there….they fit. Won’t...

    OR / WA / CA BT rut ..............

    I’m in Ca. Length of day is the main factor, but I believe weather and hunting pressure play a part too. I’ve hunted on public where bucks were mostly nocturnal and a mile away on private you had bucks with does out most of the day. Same with weather. A cold snap will get them on their feet...

    What products do you wish companies made for hunting?

    How about a solid/safe rem 700 trigger? Too much to ask for I suppose.

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    The Tract 2-10 would be THE scope if it was proven reliable and had a better reticle. Sub 20oz, locking/stopped elevation. A lot to like. That said I’d go SHV. I have a 3-10 on my main rifle and love it, dial it every shot at the range and have had no issues with mine.

    Meat Safety - infected wound

    I wouldn’t be too concerned with it. Infections like that tend to be localized, and unless he looked obviously sick it was probably just an injury that was healing. I’ve killed a decent number of wild boars that had something like you describe from fighting with other pigs. I just cut a...

    Wood Stove/Heater

    My house is just shy of 1600 sq/ft and gets heated primarily by wood in the winter. It has an old steel Lopi, no cat or any of the fancy epa stuff and the main problem is that the house can get too hot. Granted this is Ca where we have very mild winters compared to the rest of the country...

    Nightforce SHV Reticle Advice

    OP, do you currently shoot in Mil or MOA? Neither the Mil-r and MOAR are perfect, but still very usable. If you have a strong bias towards mil or moa I’d let that decide for you unless you want to change. Regarding the moar reticle and how easy it is to see the center. It’s pretty easy...
