    Crappies are hitting!

    Good catch. I like using Kalins 2" grubs and also Bobby Garland 2" Baby Shad. I use a 1/16th jig head normally a 1/8th jig head on windy days. Cast it out and retrieve it as slow as you can. For the Kalins, I like Acid Rain, Lemon Meringue, Black/Blue/Chart, Tennessee Shad, and Electric...

    2013 Spring Season

    I didn't get the limit, but I did get half of it. Birds acted strange by gobbling on the roost and then shutting up once on the ground. They didnt gobble that much in the afternoons after the hens went to nest and they usually gobble their heads off. I did what I could and made it happen twice...

    .204

    I just picked up a Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter Max 1. I like it but the price may over shoot your budget. I have only fired 8 rounds out of it but it show potential and I havent loaded for it yet, but there are 39gr Blitzkings waiting on the sidelines right now. This makes my second .204 and...

    Loads for the new 257 Wby

    R-25 is the only powder I have tried, as that is what came with the rifle when I bought it from my buddy. I have played with loads and seating depths a little more than he did and have settled on the loads that I listed here. I started at factory seating depths and worked out from there. My...

    Shot Sizes for Long Range Hunting

    Another thing I am looking at doing for my shotgun to help with groups is to lengthen my forcing cone. This is supposed to reduce recoil and tighten up patterns. Tight patterns=longer range.

    Shot Sizes for Long Range Hunting

    I shoot 5's for turkey. I like them up close, but can kill them at 70yds. I will be trying a .660 choke this year and would like to have my forcing cone lengthened. I think I can get an extra 10yds if everything plays out right.

    10 gauge

    Try 5 shot if it doesnt improve. Still big enough to thump a head and should put more pellets on the target(what I have seen so far).
