      Predator Hunting

      I'm not sure if I'm going to start doing this this year or not. Lord knows we have beaucoup coyotes all over the area I can hunt. I think that this year I'll just get the tactics down with the electronic callers etc. I'm also going to skin and tan at least one yote to see if I can do it right...

      Deer Processing question

      I saw an episode of Eastman's Hunting where a guy showed how to take the Tenderloin out from the top of an elk without gutting the elk. Can you do this with deer also?

      Long Distance Shooting

      I'm planning on trying to shoot some deer from high on a Missouri River bluff. I used my range finder today and the deer will be 350 to 450 yards away. I'll be up pretty high as well. I'm going to zero my 300 Win Mag rifle at 6 inches above bulls eye at 100 yards. That should zero me at 300...

      Hunting with a Rossi 44 Magnum Rifle

      Or is that Rossi 44 Magnum Carbine? Whatever...I tried to use some handloads with the max load of 800X and a 180 grain Hornady XTP bullet but the load was blowing out the primer holes to be too big. I scaled down the load by two steps (per the Hornady manual) and it shot them pretty good to...

      44 Magnum

      I've run into something weird about reloading 44 Mag ammo. I started using my Rossi Lever action rifle in 44 Mag. I had a bunch of cases loaded with primers so I've been using those. I loaded them up and shot some. After that I cleaned them up and started putting primers into the cases. I used...

      Rattling in Nebraska

      Thought I'd put this thread up so hunters could hear what it's like hunting the rut in Nebraska at least in my case. I waited until the weather got colder to get serious about hunting. Until it gets cold the poison ivy around here makes the woods pretty unpassable. A lot of it is about 8 feet...

      S&W Shield 45 ACP

      I bought one on Monday. I took it out and shot it Tuesday at the range. Most of my handloads would not eject. They kept getting stuck before the went out of the gun. The handloads worked fine in my Remington R1 and my Ruger American ACP guns. Any ideas on what's up with this?

      Had my first Deer hamburgers today

      I've only been grilling the steaks from my venison so far but today I decided to finally see how the hamburger I made from my deer cooked and tasted. I had a 1/2 pound package in the freezer so I made 2 1/4 pounders with cheese and bacon. I put some mesquite rubbing on them also. They came out...

      7.62 x 51MM

      I've seen a couple of empty boxes of this ammo at the range lately. I've also picked up some empty cases of the stuff. It's almost identical to 308 as far as I can tell. What's the deal here? Is there a rifle in this caliber and why?

      Gun Deer Season started today

      for the tribal members on our rez. I want to get a big doe to get some nice, big backstrap steaks first. I'll go after her with my newest 308 rifle. Will report...

      Deer Hanging Contraption

      I'm going to build a thing I can hang deer up on to season the meat outside. I'll only use it after the weather cools down and the outside temps are around 40 degrees or under. I'll probably stand it up in my backyard but may try to put it up in my garage but I don't think it'll fit. I'll put...

      Question about crop damage by game animals

      A friend is growing a special kind of corn near a small farm town. The native Americans around here use the corn to make soup. He says that he loses a lot of the crop from deer eating it. Can the deer be hunted out of season to control the damage? I told him I'd look into harvesting the deer to...

      Question for the Reloaders here

      I've been thinking of showing a few guys who go to the range I use how to reload their ammo. They all have had a hard time finding factory ammo as we all have. Noone really taught me how to reload. I used videos and books/magazines to learn. Seeing as how even the reloading equipment is hard...

      380 ACP

      I was shooting one of my 380 ACP handguns this weekend. Compared to the 9MM and 40 S&W guns I was using the 380 seemed kind of puny. How effective is the 380 as a Concealed carry gun. Could it stop an attacker?

      S&W M&P Shield 40S&W Handgun

      I found one for sale @ $275.00 that looked to be in pretty good shape. I've been wanting a carry gun with more power than a 9MM so I was interested in it. I hesitated at first but went to the bathroom to get some time to think about it and decided to go for it. At that price I didn't think it...

      Reloading shotgun shells

      410 shotgun shells are ridiculously expensive here. I've looked at some reloading gear. The reloading press boxes are labeled 12 ga. and 20 ga. from what I've seen. Are shot gun reloading presses dedicated to a certain gauge?

      45 ACP brass

      I finally had a chance to shoot the brass with small primers installed. I don't see any real difference between it and the brass with large primers. I have a lot of small primers and not many large so I think I'll just keep reloading the small primer brass until it wears out. I've had...

      RIA Imports single shot 410 shotgun

      It cost a little over $125.00 and shoots pretty well.

      Crow calls for turkey hunting

      Do you guys use them? I'm trying to learn how to use a couple. I have an HS Strut and a couple of Primos calls. I used two of them tonight and there were two Toms gobbling but I'm not sure it was because of my calling. But maybe they were.

      5.56 Brass

      I picked up a bunch. Can they be reloaded as .223?
