    Recipes for Whitetail burger

    My goto method for any burger includes egg and breadcrumbs, as mallard said. Disagree that deer burgers are disgusting cause family and I love em. Approx 1 egg and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs per 1 pound of ground deer meat. Add whatever seasoning you like to this mix as well. As for the deer meat, I...

    Looking to buy a Garand, what do I need to know?

    If you are thinking about buying an M1, my best advice is to read everything you can get your hands on about them. You need to know what to look for. These rifles have been bouncing around for 70+ years, and sometimes abused for the same amount of time. Years back I bought an M1. It was a...

    Do you hunt from home?

    I can actually shoot deer and hogs out of my bathroom window. I live on a river and my boat stays in the water all of duck season. Nothing like walking 25 yards to the boat and running a half a mile to the hole. I can drive my gator to two of the 3 dove fields we shoot. I do travel about 40...

    TMK for hunting?

    I've shot the 77tmk and 130tmk in 22cm and 65cm, both seemed to shoot pretty well 25-35k off touch. I have no experience with tgk. 130tmk is pretty short in a saami 65cm chamber. Not much bullet in the neck, it's more suited to 120fb chambers. These bullets are violent on game, put it behind the...

    Ford F-150 reliable?

    Generally speaking, they are very reliable. The motor is very well sorted, the body is aluminum so it won't rust, and Ford is very experienced at making trucks. With that said, things can and will break. If you keep the truck to 200,000 miles, there will be a repair or two. The big question is...

    Anyone use 4-24 VX6 for long-range hunting?

    I have one on a newly built 6 Dasher hunting gun. But I cannot give a detailed review because I just haven't used it enough. But so far I do like it. Still only doing load development. Not sure if all of them have the built in reticle level? Suppose to blink when canted. Mine doesn't???

    270 Success on big game.

    Why the 270 Win? It shoots flat, has mild recoil and kills well. Pretty much any 277 cal bullet performs well at 270 Win speeds. There are high b.c. bullets available, how many does one actually need? Many people that say there is a higher amount of good bullets available for 7mm but then only...

    TMK for hunting?

    First let me say I have not tried the SMKs or TMKs on game so have no real experience with them but I would think the TMK would be ok as the tip should initiate expansion. I would be concerned with the SMKs that have been pointed and the meplat closed. They may pencil through and not expand but...

    McMillan A3-5 Stock

    Does the Manners stock need to be bedded? They make a Mini rail but that puts the stock over $1000. McMillan says they don't need to be bedded.
