    Caliber selection for small frame hunter

    Every hunter within my family started out with a Glenfield (Marlin built) 30-30 carbine fitted with a Weaver 4X scope. We zero the rifle so that bullets impact two inches higher than point of aim at 100 yards. This results in a 150 yard bullseye strike and about 3 inches lower at 200 yards...

    Deer Crossing Sign

    Many years back, I was scouting for a place to hunt deer within the Huron National Forest of Michigan. I had never driven there before but soon encountered a deer crossing yellow sign by the roadway. I stopped and walked back about 100 yards looking for a deer trail. Finding nothing, I reversed...

    16ga ???

    When I was a young hunter back in the 1960's, 16 gauge was quite common among hunters of upland game. Always an excellent choice for flying pheasants and running rabbits. I remember the purple cardboard hulls were sold at Tru Value Hardware for a very fair price. TR

    Im looking to do a pig hunt this spring

    This is where we hunt in Florida for wild hogs. They're spooky but can be approached by a stealthy stalk. The guide is very helpful and always puts us on hogs. Pricing for a fully guided hunt is $230. for a hog weighing less than 125 lbs. More for the truly huge ones. Guide dresses, skins...

    Coastal blacktail hunt

    This is a photo of a photo. I downed this dandy coastal forky when I was stationed at Travis back in 1991. I had to crawl and use hunting skill to position myself within shooting distance. Marlin 44 MAG did the job with just one shot; distance was about 100 yards. No exit hole which means this...

    There is very little variance between 22-250 and 243. Not enough difference for killing power on deer sized animals. - TR

    With Deer Season Approaching: Rifle/Chambering/Load/Optic

    Where I usually hunt in northern Florida and central Pennsylvania, the shots tend to be 75 yards or less. So, I continue to hunt with my Mossberg lever gun in 30-30 fitted with a Simmons 2-7X scope. For ammo, 170 grain Power Point is a dandy. - TR
