Head net, elastic bands for wrists and ankles, and a pair of thin gloves. Hunting from a ground blind and wanting to keep scent down. Back in the '50s there wasn't Thermocell.

.54 cal round ball, just as dead hardly any meat loss.

Ontario had a 3-day open season for whitetail, I lived only minutes from 3 farms that let me hunt on their property. Two weeks before opening I would be up well before light and out in the fields getting to know where the deer moved from the feeding area to where they bedded down for the day. I...

Where I live a lot of the time it is illegal to shoot full mature moose and only legal to shoot immature bulls, cows are a no no. In BC Canada there is a non-science-based stupid rule that only 3 brow-tined moose can be shot.

I think CZ 520 IS Semiauto and is in .223 Looks more sporting than military.

Years ago where I live archery season started two weeks before rifle season, then black powder became popular and a primitive weapons season was created. Archers and black powder shooters didn't mix well so primitive weapons hunting areas were developed, that worked well for several years...

You snooze, you looozze... Stop crying over spilt milk.

The .270 is not much different than 25-06, as others have pointed out sometimes a larger bullet can get the job done more efficiently. I also use a 45-70 and you can eat right up to the hole on any size deer.

Where I hunt griz abounds, therefore I shoot deer with what I carry in the bush in my area. .338 WM 225 gr Barns ttsx, surprisingly very little meat loss. Used to use a .270 with a lot more meat loss.

I used to shoot obsolete cartridge matches, due to the scarcity of casings I had to reload them at the range in order o complete the match. I had a winch front bumper on the front of my pickup that made the perfect loading bench, I had holes drilled and mounted the press there it was easy enough...

I found a bunch of .270 reloads that I did up many years ago and they turned green with a corrosion-looking film on them, I thought what the heck I will throw them in my wet tumbler and see what happens. They came out sparkling clean, I took them to the range just for giggles. Not one misfired.

Welcome to Canadian prices...we think $50 is a bargain!

10 year old....375 H&H? Father should be charged with ...child abuse!

Back in '57 I started reloading with a 310 Lyman hand tool, in '58 I upgraded to a Lyman single stage press, and I still use it today. Add a beam scale, Lee trimmer and you can get started. I now use the same outfit to load about a dozen different calibers.

Take up golf, tennis, needlepoint, fishing, etc. Leave the rifles, shotguns, and handguns, in the safe, I guarantee you the prices of ammunition and loading components will drop in price drastically. The only problem is getting everyone on board, just look at the gas prices, a service station on...
