I have clients that when livestock kills are shown to the state, the state has replied, " they have to eat too". This is speaking to lion and wolf. After the state raises the landowners hackles they ask of me for intros to those same landowners to get on their property. We (ADC) guys know when...

With defference, predators can be managed or eradicated. The wolf disappeared from much area when the tools were a string, traps and later poison. I have clients in there eighties that tell me that when they grew up they never had coyote issues. I now take up to a dozen coyotes per section! This...

I am not only a avid hunter but a trapper certified wolf trapper in the state of Mt. Wolves don't understand the concept of ecology. When food runs out, they move. Forty miles in a night is not unheard of. In our state, they are now on the east side. In the turn of century, some prolific...

This may sound crazy but it isn't. If you are wishing to; 1. Work on wind call ability 2. Work on form 3. Stay " inexpensive" for the amount of practice You may think of an old rem 40x rimfire with some Eley red or black box ammo. 200 yd wind calls on a 2 inch target is remarkably similar to...

I'm away but I will get one this weekend. Think of a pill bug. You and the rifle become one. Here's a POI story to stick in your pipe. 1996 I went over to Caly to shoot their state shoot. ( Back when they still allowed guns) The relay was offhand 100 yd standard face. The day was to be a full...

If you were to throw a baseball, trying to get the highest bounce and using the same amount of energy...which would give the highest bounce? 1. Cement 2. Grass lawn Your forearm is analogues to the baseball. Do we want your forearm to bounce? No. Most like softer bags, rice hulls, cat liter...

Yup, I would investigate this road. What you need is a water tank to capture. No anyone with a pool? Ha! You really need to examine that pill after its been extruded and that bore.

Crazy, but I would look at slumping. The bullet is changing shape due to perhaps a tight barrel, to fast of rotation and speed or perhaps you found the magical formula where all three contribute. Slumping is not a new phenomena. Load down to another node and retest your different ranges. If...

300 rum, 700 action trued with a 3 land Lilja 30 inch bbl and a slightly modified Holland radical brake. Jewell trigger. Topped off with a 8x32 1/8 min Night Force. Sendero style stock keeps it together. With the 210 vld it crumples game. Ave take is mid 700's with 980 longest to date.

Thank you Susquatch. I too have been plagued with this same delima like all. The cure I found was go lighter and faster. If I'm working from a known hide, I use my heavy pills. But I know I will be limited to my position and style if shooting. If I am unsure or " freelancing" I go lighter and...

A bullet is effectively swaged as it travels down the bore. You now create a lateral force if that would be the correct word. The longer the bearing surface on the pill the more exertion takes place. As a general rule you will feel a force in the follow through tending to the right. The bbl...

One issue that seems to be forgotten here. It is NOT the real or perceived movement of the muzzle crown. The bore line is the axis. Upon any point there can be a " fulkrum". Keep the the crown position and move the breech either to the side or verticle. You now have changed the bores...

Here's a test. Let's take a 30 cal. Put a load behind a 230 and shoot 3 position. Now take that same platform and put a 165 or 190 through it. You will probably be around a 3 to 400 fps differential. I think the results will speak for themselves. Conversely, throw a 30 or 31 inch tube on and...

I concur. What has taken sometimes near a half century cannot be translated into typed words. All platforms are different as well as body types. Each unique unto each other. There are founded foundational principals. When things aren't right, you go back to those rules and move forward. This is...
