I started feeding deer about 20 years ago just as a means of keeping deer around the house and gradually I fell into using corn as an attractant for hunting. The use of corn was readily accepted by hunters and for some reason I just kept feeding it because all of the stores sell deer corn. As...

I just finished my Whitetail deer taxidermy work by mounting a 15 point buck taken during the 2021 Oklahoma rifle season and a 9 point buck taken during the 2022 Oklahoma rifle season. My wife never complains much if I do one deer each year but she raises heck if I do two. This past year she...

Earlier in the year I began getting pictures of two big animals that I wanted to hunt in October but I couldn't get close enough to hunt them with the archery equipment I owned. Then on youtube I watched Chris Bee shooting a Mission Sub 1 crossbow and hitting targets at 100 yards and a light...

I am getting ready to re-barrel a pre 64 Model 70 Winchester to change the caliber from 30-06 to 280 Remington. Bartlein is not currently taking on-line orders but they did call me back today and we worked out the details. They will be building a pre 64 Model 70 featherweight #1 contour barrel...

I went to the Tulsa Gun Show on Saturday and it was amazing. For those who haven't been the show is held in the Tulsa County Fair Grounds IPE building which is a large impressive building with eleven acres of floor space. There's probably 60 acres of parking and when I arrived at 11 am it took...

I recently posted about getting a pre 64 Model 70 featherweight rebored to 338-06 by JES and I was excited to go about getting it sighted in. This is my 2nd 338 so I have a lot of experience with these rifle. I have been going through the process of breaking in the barrel and at the same time...

I joined The High Road in August 2011 as a way to gain knowledge about reloading and to pass on some of what I knew to others. My progress has been good and this is some information of the information that has been valuable to me. In July 2012 GooseGestapo posted on a thread about Reloader 17...

Today I hung my whitetail buck up on the wall from the 2019 primitive rifle season. The buck was a basic 4 X 4 with double brow tines on each side for a total of 10 points. I get a lot of satisfaction by doing the taxidermy work myself. The buck was mounted on a Competitors Choice 170 form...

I was surprised today to find that Graf & Sons in Mexico, Missouri has H4350 in one pound containers for sale again. I was told by a local dealer here in Oklahoma that it would be available in April but this is really good news. For those who haven't purchased from Graf's their shipping fee...

I am a real dummy when it comes to Glock pistols. I watched a video of how the Glock pistols have three safeties on the firing pin and I would like someone to tell me if my pistol has the three safety system. The pistol is a Glock 22 manufactured in December 2008. The serial number begins...

This past week I finished my taxidermy work on the deer I took during the 2018 season. Since I do the work myself I am more interested in quality than doing a commercial deer mount. The first deer is a large mature whitetail that I took during the muzzleloading rifle season herein Oklahoma...

It's been quite a year here in Oklahoma. During the spring a huge prairie fire burned 285,000 acres in my home Dewey County. A small fawn was eating corn in my back yard. In October we received over 9 inches of rain in two days and the North Canadian River went out of it's banks. A coyote or...

Once a month I pull the cards from my game cameras and this is some of what I found. I liked the picture of the deer, racoon and porcupine at the feeder at the same time. The bobcat is probably getting fat eating the little pigs and the bucks are growing their antlers again.

Duplicate posting. I wondered where the original posting went.

I was born on a farm in Dewey County, Oklahoma and have property there. There has been less than an inch of rain in the last 6 months and this past week we had and are still having a terrible fire. It was started near Rhea by someone welding and as of now it has burned 451 square miles. Many...

I was going through my game camera pictures and noticed an interesting picture of whitetail doe fighting. This is very common and the doe establish a pecking order just like the bucks. They are very territorial and will fight for a food source. When their hooves hit it sounds like a boxer...

This animal showed up on my game camera in December and comes often for corn. I don't know whether it's domestic or some kind of exotic. There are no goats or sheep in the general area. It's the size and color of a deer and I think it's a goat but I'm not sure. Help me out. Thanks.

I have been using a lot of Alliant powder and out of curiosity I looked at their website to see who owns them. I was surprised to see the list of subsidiaries that are owned by Vista Outdoor Company and this list is only the company names that I recognize as follows: Bushnell, Weaver, Simmons...

Anyone who has tried to find new Winchester 25-06 brass will appreciate this note. There are 10 50 round bags of new Winchester 25-06 brass for sale on GunBroker listed by Wholesale Hunter in Wetumpka, Alabama. If my memory is correct the price per bag was $31.95. They were very good to deal...

I recently read a thread where two TheHighRoad members were involved in an unfriendly exchange that was less than flattering to both members. TheHighRoad is a high quality forum and this doesn't happen very often. The incident shows that some people have little respect for others and have a...
