Hello 'Small Lady': I wonder what the weight of your rifle is, and how does it fit you..? With your chosen caliber, you may wish to practice with lower-grain bullets so a flinch doesn't develop in relatively new shooters. Lots of good advice here for you on scopes, so take your time picking...

Brett - you're a true PH in your own right. Your composed demeanor with your trophy underlies the hard work you've put in spotting, stalking, reading the breezes, the avoidance of many sharp eyes, and cumulating in superb musketry with a sure one-shot harvest. Bravo Sir..!!!

Hello Partners - I'm back after a L4/L5 back operation in late Jan of this year. On lefty hunting rifles, a fella may wish to look up & have a gander at what famed sportsman Craig Boddington totes afield, nationally and internationally. I always appreciate what he and his family are shooting...

Over the years I've had quite a number of different firearm makers - some very good and others "never again!" As the shadows grow longer on me I narrow my choices on many of life's matters so long term quality is paramount to this good ol' boy. The Weatherby family and their time tested guns...

Hello Gents - I live up north of you fellas and have never heard of such nonsense! I can only imagine such a wiry aerial predator like that would be like chewing on a ball of haywire a and scented by skunk pee. I don't think even the native peoples here are allowed - or would, kill anything as...

Jo Boy - 40ish is a magic number for all red blooded Hiawatha's in good kameraden standing. Reward yourself quietly and humbly praise the Lord for a custom built 25-06 - maybe in AI too, Sako action with a 70 degree lift & 5 + 1 capacity, 25 5/8" Shilen stainless & fluted barrel, Boyd walnut...

BWR - some very pointed common sense and cogent suggestions for you from Teri Anne, Hummer 70 and others here! I gotta say Amen to such good thoughts too!

"Big Welcome"!, from us sporting folks up in Canuck Land, specifically the great game fields of Alberta, Canada.. Looking forward to your content!

Whitetail Kid - a big hail out from the Great White North...! Take a bow to your fellow Texan - Russell Thornberry with his long experience in the game fields of the North American continent. When he lived and hunted up here in the Province of Alberta, Canada he entertained us pilgrims with...

Shaking - not an uncommon situation for many veteran hunters, but some of the good news is that the gentleman is still up for another exciting season in the woods and plains after our noble North American wild game! Years ago one of my late neighbors - in his eighties at the time and deadly with...

Good for you Len on following your instincts and launching LRH. I look forward to every issue with the stories and opinions of the many followers and readers of your fine website. Cheers Hombres!

Bamban - my guess-estimation is that the larger deer in the pics is about a 3 year old dark face youngster. Fair rack, decent sized body and possibly just pre-rut. I can only judge by the Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northeastern BC bucks I've hunted in Western Canada. If this nice buck...

I've had many years of good luck with the Remington 1100 in a 30" tube, then the 1187 in a 26" configuration. The Swiss gunsmith I've long used shaved the comb down on the 1187 to a production finish as I don't like sustained recoil. Liked the 1187 better for trap & skeet although neither one is...

Dgascho, I have to agree with K. No need to be exotic in what you're looking for. Jack O'Connor's favorite did every thing he asked of it meaning his beloved 270 Win. A good number of years ago when I got back from operations overseas I was out hunting in the Panther River and Ya Ha Tinda area...

Minimum 23" to 26" depending on the calibre, length & type of stock, barrel contour, medium/long action, balance, firearm weight, etc. I don't like excessive muzzle blast nor leaving velocity and energy on the table.
