    My two day guided hunt lasted 15 minutes

    I agree on the theory. For example, we do experience educated birds, the ducks in NC act differently than the birds in Canada, before they have gotten shot all the way down the flyway! I can see this if hunters are pursuing alternative methods. Trapping pigs is supposed to be much more...

    Husqvarna Model 4100 243 Winchester

    I have a Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB Mod A Sweden in caliber 22-250 and was curious about the heritage. How is Husqvarna related to Tikka?

    Best factory Rifle???

    Yeah, but did the answers change over the years? Speaks highly of a mfgr that can stay at the top for a decade...

    Caliber and best factory rifle for Whitetail deer - NC

    270 Win with 130 grain bullets is perfect, and I have used it for elk and bear as well (you can move up to 150 grain bullets if desired). This caliber has some staying power, unlike some of the "fad" calibers for which ammo may not be available in a few years. Lighter recoil than many, but...

    What cartridge/bullet for hog hunting?

    I've killed several with 270 Win in 130 grain, same as I use for deer. Pigs are terribly destructive on the habitat. They are good to eat, but pick a sow up to about 125 lbs. Boars we fed to the gators. I will say shooting pigs is the only time I wished I had a semi-auto instead of a bolt...

    Canned "Recreational Oxygen" for elevation sickness?

    Wife, son and I went from sea level to elk camp at 11,400' same day, and even managed an evening stalk. Stayed in a sweet little cabin with propane heat. About midnight my wife woke up feeling sick, we walked outside and she blacked out. Son and I got her back inside but for the next couple of...

    New rifle...... Flinching

    Might slow down on your trigger pull. I often don't know exactly when the gun will go boom, so it is a surprise.

    Factory rifle vs custom build

    Some manufacturers offer a sub-MOA guarantee - Sako, Tikka, TC, Vanguard. I know nothing about guns, and my Sako A7 in 270 Win shot .25 groups out of the box with Federal Fusion and Federal Premium factory ammo. Plenty good enough for my needs :D. Enough gun for any NA game except self-defense...

    One “Do it All Cartridge” - All of NA

    Why carry the weight of a 25 rd mag when you won't need more than one bullet to hunt, and won't have time/need for more than 10 in the event of an animal attack?
