Had a herd of deer come by me this morning and smacked a big doe on the shoulder. She warped the ground hard and didn't even kick. When I got to her there was two holes on the same shoulder. The exit was 6 inches higher than the entrance and both were about 1 1/2" in diameter. When I opened...

I hate to admit it, but it looks as though I am going to have to rely on the old ways to hunt deer this year. We have white oak acorns everywhere at the farm. What few pictures that I have of deer at the feeders is at night and not many deer then. I know that they are there. Had 5 bucks in...

I got volunteered by a friend to help do a controlled burn on his 120 acres. He acquired it 3 years ago and is trying to make it a deer haven. He has planted food plots along a quarter mile creek bottom and built 3 shooting houses on stilts. Then he bought a travel trailer to use as a camp...

Went for a ride before the storm hit last Wednesday and actually saw some deer feeding in the field. This has been a tough year. The acorn crop was huge and the deer didn't have to go far to eat. I have really had to work at it. Our late season starts Monday and I am pulling the Bergara out...

The thread on barrel harmonics got me to thinking. I have always wondered about the accuracy of fluted barrels as they heat. I realize that it saves weight and probably doesn't have much effect with casual shooting or hunting where few rapid shots are fired. But what about a long term bench...

I took my M18 Mauser 6.5 CM out for a ladder load with Win 760 and had pressure signs on my starting load. I had a sticky bolt lift and could see ejector marks on the 2 rounds that I shot. . When I got home I pulled bullets and checked powder weight on 2 different scales. All were dead on...

I received a rifle today from one of my distributors and had to show ID. After over a 1000 guns shipped and received I now have to show my driver's license which gets scanned. Driver said that it is a new rule. Guess I'll have to wear clothes and carry ID from now on.

Decided on a new carry gun a couple of weeks ago. Ordered a P365 Sig from Davidson's and it arrived at the Fedex hub in Memphis on the 22nd. Couldn't find any tracking and waited with the tracking reading delayed. It came in today, the 28th. The Express driver told me that they were covered...

The last day that I went to the farm I had 5 deer pick me off instantly. I had seen several feeding in one corner of the pasture and had steaked it out. I was 10 feet into the brush sitting on a log in full camo. Five deer came out on the other side of the field about 170 yards and stopped...

Stopped by my friends store yesterday and, believe it or not, he actually had some reloading goodies. Lots of bullets (mostly Hornady), brass, powder and primers. It was gone today. I only bought some 6.5CM brass, but would have grabbed some R-17 or H4350 if he had had any. I also noticed...

One of my friends has booked a Texas hog hunt after Christmas for he and his young boy aged 11. He bought a compact Ruger in 300 Blackout with a 2-7X Leupold for JR and called me over to help sight it in. It took 5 shots to get it in the bull and then we turned JR loose with it. Even with the...

Yesterday was the last day of our first firearms deer season. I made the rounds on my Yamaha and pulled SD cards and checked feeders. We have a Black Powder 3 day season coming up and I need to move stands. As I was riding I noticed something that didn't look right at the far end of one of...

Went to the farm to check cameras and feeders today and saw a deer in the middle of a big pasture. Unfortunately I was on my ATV and in the middle of a herd of cows when I spotted the deer. Now these cows are so used to vehicles that they don't really care if you want them to move. Most of...

Made a stop at Bass Pro in Springfield, Mo. today and saw more ammo than I have seen in a year. Didn't need any so I didn't buy any, but you might want to check it out if you are in the area.

The doe turned broadside and posed at about 40 yards. The smoke boiled from my Ruger in-line obscuring the results. Much to my surprise there was no white belly in sight, After reloading I eased to the spot to find a blood trail going off of a 30-35 degree grade. The deer had gone 50 yards...

Shelled out $7 Saturday to see guns priced way out of reach. $500 guns selling for $800. 22Mag ammo for $50 for a box of 50. There was more jewelry and knives than there was guns. Plenty of ammo if you wanted to pay 3-4X the normal price. That is the only show that I have been to that I...

I just got an email from SGAmmo and they are starting to get some ammo in and the prices are coming down. If you don't mind paying a little extra you might want to check them out.

One of my close friends owns the LGS. Last week I noticed a closed sign and the local Service Pro clean up crew in the parking lot. I pulled in to see if they needed help. Sure enough, they had a water valve break in the rest room and flooded the store. I had no idea that they had that much...

Been watching the birds lately. They have been gobbling big time for the last 3 weeks. Yesterday I watched 20 birds with 2 longbeards. The gobblers were strutting their butts off and it is almost 3 weeks until season. It seems that the AGFC believes that the reason for low harvest numbers is...

Things are looking up again. Sold a gun today for $2800. Looks like this guy used his and the wife's stimulus check. My wife said that it looked like he double dipped.:rofl:
