I have a Thompson Omega and a Leupold UltimateSlam 2x7 scope, but I need a good solid mount for this combo. Any recommendations?

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?

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?

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...

I've had my old Remington 870 12 ga for almost 20 years now. The stock and fore grip are both battered and worn from years of hunting in all kinds of terrain and conditions. The finish is missing in spots and the wood is stained with sweat where I grip it. A couple of years ago, I replaced them...

I have about 10 lbs of black bear fat in my freezer that I don't know what to do with. Someone told me that it makes an excellent leather conditioner and waterproofer, but I don't know if thats true. Has anyone made anything from the fat?

He has to write a 9 page paper for a high school English class and the topic he chose to write about is pro-gun / anti-gun control (I must have raised him right!). It’s an advanced English class that is actually considered a college course in his school. He is looking for some good research...

I need to get some new two way radios. The old FRS band radios I have do not work well in the mountains where we hunt. Can anyone suggest a radio that will work from a valley to the other side of a ridge where there is no direct line of sight? I'm looking for one you don't need a license for and...

I'd like to parkerize a couple of AKs that I'm building before I use Moly Resin, along with a plain park finish on a 1911. What type of media do I need in order to get a good result? Harbor Freight sells 70 grit Aluminum Oxide and 80 grit glass beads. Is there something that would be better?

I need to refinish a couple of rifles, and a local gunsmith offers a "Tuff Coat" finish. He said it is a very durable Teflon/Moly coating. Is anyone familiar with this?

I loaded up a couple of different .44 mag loads for my S&W 629. The components are new Starline brass, 240g bullets, Unique, and CCI 350 primers. Accuracy is very good and I have no problems when firing in single action. However, when I fire in double action, approximately 10% of the rounds fail...

Does anyone have a special place they keep them during the off season? Maybe a dedicated closet or container? A freind of mine stores his in a large Rubbermaid container along with leaves and dirt. Has anyone made a nature-scented closet/cabinet?

I'm going on my first black bear hunt next month, and I'll be using 180g Nosler Partitions in a Rem 700 30/06. I'll be hunting over bait, so the distance will be fairly close (50 yds or less). My question is, how hot should I load these bullets for this type of hunting?

Do you have any bear hunting stories you would like to share? I’m going to Maine next month for my first bear hunt and I’d like to hear some of your experiences. Any tips for a successful hunt, how not to get eaten, things you wish you did or didn’t do would be great as well.

Does any one here use 77g SMKs and N140? How have your results been? I've been using 77g SMKs and N540, but my N540 is almost gone & I have about 7 lbs of N140. Thanks.
