Deer season is here and I hope to be able to fill the freezer again with some venison. I always do my own butchering, but struggle each year using knives during the process that are just "OK". Can anyone recommend a good set of knives that are not hugely expensive but work great and hold an edge?
Thanks for the replies. I gave it very thorough cleaning before I shot it. It was very dirty. I'm just going to use it for hunting, so I guess I won't worry about it too much.
I recently bought a used Remington 11-87 Special Purpose 12 ga turkey gun, max load 3" magnums. Is there any way to get this thing to cycle using target loads? Unless I use very heavy hunting loads, it is basically a one shot firearm. The spent rounds don't even come close to ejecting with...
I just picked up a stand alone clothes cabinet (armoire?) from the Salvation Army to store all of my hunting clothes. I'd like to put something in the cabinet to give my jackets, boots and other clothes a natural scent. Has anyone else done this? What have you used for a scent - pine branches...
I'm looking for a carry pistol that is smaller than my Springfield full sized 1911. I have the opportunity to buy a friend's Para 12 45 but I don't know anything about them. Can anyone tell me about the quality / performance of this pistol and what a fair price would be? Thanks.
I have a coyote and a black bear skull that I'm bleaching for a display. Most of the teeth are either loose or fell out. What type of glue is best for gluing the teeth back in?
I went on a Black bear hunt with Birddog a couple of years ago. Our guide had a steel litter that we used to carry out our bears. It was kind of like a stretcher without any fabric covering. Either that, or one of those deer carriers on wheels might work.
After a 4 year drought, I finally bagged a deer this year. Getting the deer was pretty uneventful. A 40 yard shot from my .308 dropped it where it stood, but about 2 hours before that something unusual happened.
I was sitting in a ladder-type tree stand nestled in a stand of pines. The...
What would it be? I'm referring to a rifle for small game that you would bet your life on in a survival situation. One that is reliable and deadly accurate shot after shot.
She’s never had an interest in it before. I’ve tried to get her interested many times but she never wanted to shoot, so I haven’t brought the subject up for a long time. At dinner last night she said “Dad, will you take me shooting this weekend?” WOOHOO!!! My jaw almost dropped. We’ll start with...
That is unusual for brand name ammo. I've heard of problems with cheap surplus ammo, but not Remington. Is it possible the misfires could have been a rifle problem, say from a dirty bolt assembly?
