hunting

Hi! This thread is a place for new THR members to introduce themselves. Tell us a little about who you are and what kind of gun stuff you're interested in!

If you could only have one semi auto 22lr any brand in the world what would it be? I'm debating between a Browning buckmark rifle, the classic 10/22, and the cz 512 which shares magazines with my 455 varmint. For hunting and target.

The SHARE Act is an omnibus outdoors/sportsmen bill that would expand access to federal land for hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting as well as eliminate the excessive tax on suppressors. This website has been set up to provide a channel for the sporting and gun-owning communities to...

OK. I've asked this before, but I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been, and I got some pretty vehement answers as a result. I'll try to outline my thoughts a little better. First off, I'll say that in NY, any centerfire is legal for big game, so my idea is at least legal here. Secondly...

While listening to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, I heard him and his friends discussing bow hunting axis deer in Lanai. He said (paraphrasing) that the deer were often 2-6 feet away from the arrow by the time it got to them, even though he hit exactly where he was aiming, because they...

Hello, all. Has anyone found a lead-free .44 Magnum ammunition that will achieve pig-worthy accuracy and reliability in a lever gun, such as the Marlin 1894? I think the main concern is that copper bullets are less dense and therefore longer than lead bullets, so they might not feed reliably in...

Good Afternoon Everyone, Does anyone have a rebel SOS Suppressor for a 22LR? OR What are your opinions about it from their website? Link: https://rebelsilencers.com/sos-22 Thinking of just paying the $200 tax stamp and $99 for the can... with shipping its like $315 Grand Total... I'm...

Good Morning THR Members, I'm in search of a new accurate 22LR, preferably bolt action, for small game hunting. I would like to be at $300 or less for the firearm alone and of course I have some "basic desires" I'd like it to have. Ideally I want something that is: - Bolt action - Good...

I am buying my first AK-47, but I have barely any experience with AK's. Could you hunt with a tactical AK in 7.62? Or would that just explode the poor thing? How bad does it kick?

I've decided that 7-08 would be the best cartridge to hunt with me personally, because I just flinch too much with anything too much bigger. I have no basis with rifles chambered in 7-08, I don't know what all actions you can buy with them in, but I need bolt. Which 7-08 that you have experience...

Hey everyone, I've been concealed carrying for a few years now but have never carried a caliber larger than 9mm, but in the summer I'll be taking a trip to Montana for a camping trip and I am considering carrying a 1911 in 45 that I just purchased in case we run into bear or any other dangerous...

Good morning all! I have a question for those of you doing long range hunting, I have recently gotten into coyote hunting and have started extending the range of which I take shots. Over the past year I have gotten pretty deep into long range shooting, and reloading so I want to utilize my...

I am looking to buy my first hunting rifle and have decided I would like a Tikka. The "Lite" models intimidate me a bit because of the potential recoil factor. I live in AL, so would likely be hunting deer or headed to GA to hunt hogs. I liked the look of the T3X Hunter and it's a little...

I have a feeling I know some of the answers but I'll ask of those who know more. I have a lever action rifle in 44/40. Is this ok for deer hunting? I have a rifle I have yet to shoot after about 3 years and am thinking of selling it. But if I don't I'd like to know if 44/40 is just marginal...

Pennsylvania: Sunday Hunting Legislation Gathering Momentum After Senate Committee Hearing This will be more appropriate and of more interest if I post this here than in the legal section. Right now Pennsylvania bans hunting on Sundays due to old blue laws that date back many years. Pending...

Having wanted to start handgun hunting for a while, I finally chose and purchased the firearm for the job. A ruger blackhawk, shooting 210 grain Sierras that I reload because have you checked factory prices lately? I originally planned to get some lilgun because a friend bought some that he...

NH: Silencers for Hunting Bill heads to the House The bill would allow silencers for hunting in New Hampshire already passed the Senate now the bill, HB 500 heads to the NH House for a vote as early as Wednesday April 6 2016. If passed, New Hampshire would be the 40th state to allow silencers...

Wow... I don't know about how things are in your region, but out here, coyotes are everywhere. My brother and I used to get coyotes at about 25% of our stands. Then we started using thermal during the day and we moved the mark to about 50%. Last year, I added night vision to the mix and our...

I haven't been out seriously hog hunting since before deer season began. I finally got an opportunity last week and off I went! I figured the hogs had been having a pretty easy time of it since I'm about the only one who hunts this property — the landowner gets out on occasion but that had not...

Hello fellow outdoorsman, I recently bought a Remington 700 .22-250 sps varmint ( 26 inch barrel/ 1 :14 twist )... reasonably noted, 50 to 55 grain are the sweet spot for barrel length and twist. The rifle is going to be used for coyotes 0-500 yards and with a wild hair in a blue moon 700. I...
