    Trying to get smart boar hog

    If you believe that. Scent is the problem, try smoking your clothes including your shoes. If you can stand in the smoke even better, it will cover up your skin and hair oils that way. Then try to approach your blind from a different angle, or use natural cover in a different spot instead of your...

    Prairie dog hunts

    I just moved to Texas from Missouri. I am looking to learn about all of the hunting and long range shooting opportunities that are available. I am half way between Austin and San Antonio. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Bone to pick with new rifle owners - 100 yards out of the box

    I did not have anybody to teach me how to hunt, or shoot. When I worked at an archery shop I would see people come in the day before season opened, stick a paper plate on the backstop and if they hit it they called it good. I agree that we need more hunters, shooters and archers. In order to...

    Bone to pick with new rifle owners - 100 yards out of the box

    I am a proponent of having to prove your proficiency with whatever tool that you choose to hunt with, whether bow or firearm. The weapon of choice should be demonstrated to a trained instructor and listed on your hunting permit by the instructor, by hand not put in the computer. Too many wanna...

    Cotton Ball With Ashes Fire Starter - No Match Needed

    If you take Cottonballs and work petroleum jelly into them they make amazingly good tinder. Just one will burn long enough to get damp material burnin. But a lighter or other method to get it burning. Carry the cotton balls in a zip lock.

    Reloading Issue: Why do measurements vary?

    Do you aneal your cases, it seems to help equalize the variants in the response of the brass to the tensions that are put on it. Also are you measuring from the ogive or the tip? The ogive should be constant, the bullet tip will have variances, that is why some people trim and repoint their...

    243 brass formed to 6.5 cm

    Because I have 100 virgiin Lapua 243 cases that I will not be using. I just don't shoot that much 243. The 243 has a large primer pocket, the other 6.5 Lapua brass I have is small primer pocket.

    Reasonable bipod

    Versapod with sled feet, look at them on ebay. Much better than Harris, I have both, and the Harris is never an option for me any more.

    Illinois Rifle Season for Deer 2023

    Illinois has bigger deer because of the crops that they eat. You have some valid points, but the new crossbows people are using have as much lethality. Besides all of the other reasons, we should all boycott BLUE states, until they change their way of thinking about firearms rights. Money talks.

    Let them walk.

    I am not sure that I have had those levels in that way. I do greatly appreciate your presentation and hope that many experience the joys of hunting as you have. I have different joys based on the method of hunting. With my bow, I like to hunt from the ground, even though I have several stands...
