    300 blackout is too weak for deer (graphic)

    Following this myself. I have a 10” bbl blackout and am debating between the Barnes 110 & 120s for deer and hogs.

    Short action caliber

    This is a 24” 1:7.5 twist, Sendero Lite 6mm CM that has been absolutely devastating on deer and hogs with 105gr Hybrids. It has quickly become a favorite deer setup and I find myself using it more each year. I typically attach an Sico Omega but it is very long. I am going to build another deer...

    Silencerco bog!

    In late 2021, they had a similar promo. I bought an Omega 300 then selected the 45 Octane as my freebie. I ordered all in December of 2021 and received my Octane 45 finally approved in May of 2023. They ran out of the freebies quickly, then my Octane arrived at my dealer in July of 2022, and...

    What's a good size alligator to get full body mount?

    This gator was 11 feet. The head is real then painted a muted orange and blue. It makes a fun piece on the bar.

    What's a good size alligator to get full body mount?

    If the man wants a full mounted gator, that’s what he wants. My taxidermist has done all sorts of them, and some pretty cool versions too. Personally, I like just the head mounted, as they are great on a bar or table for a conversation piece. My dad has one on the coffee table he keeps the tv...

    Help me decide short barrel 6mm

    I feel the same way. My 1:7.5 twist is 24” and the 105gr Hybrids have been simply fantastic on deer and hogs. I like it so much I’m going to build another with a 20-18” bbl for a better stand gun.

    Hot weather hoodie advice

    Excuse the above, I hit PR before typing….. I live in FL and have learned to wear the long sleeve performance type wear with hoods a lot. It’s pretty much standard issue wardrobe for me when I’m at the beach, on a boat, at the lake, taking a jog in the sun, fishing, hunting early season, etc...

    What is the best tasting deer species

    From my adventures. I have not eaten fresh moose but have heard it’s tops. Anyway, my list is as follows: Wild- Young Elk (bull or cow) Fat Velvet Whitetail Buck from Ag Fields. Exotic- Pere David’s Deer is the best deer meat and I don’t know why. They beat all other farm raised/ US exotic...

    New AR Build Caliber

    I have used .223/5.56 ARs for many deer and they work fine but use proper bullets. Most of my deer, AR hunting now is done with a 6.8SPC using 120gr SSTs. I would like to try NABs but they have been sold out whenever I look. I prefer the extra weight and diameter of the 6.8 over the .224 for...

    Best caliber for Colorado Mule Deer.

    I have taken most of my mulies with a .300 WBY and never second guessed my choice. However, a .284 caliber, medium to magnum cartridge is my ideal MD setup with 160-180 grain bullets.

    Elk- .300 WBY Trophy Deer Hunts- 7mm REM Mag General Purpose Deer- 7mm-08 Kids Deer Rifle- 6.8 SPC Hog and Shootn’ Stuff- 6mm CM

    Anyone use a 10 gauge?

    I would rather shoot the SP-10 over my Benelli SBE with 3 1/2”. The 10 is a bit heavier but it makes a difference. The 10 has a shorter barrel than my SBE so it handles well; just a tad heavy but fine on run and gun turkey hunts.
