8 remington premier heavy shot, 8 winchester xtended hi density, 5 remington nitro turkey, 2 federal premier heavy weight. I'll sell it for $30 FTF north side of Indy. Sold my 3.5 inch gun and don't need it.
I've never tried that, but I've taken a few wasp nests out with oven cleaner. It drops them on contact, they literally rain down onto the ground. Good times!
My grandpa showed me how to make yellow jacket traps when I was little. You take a plastic milk jug and cut a window in the side about 4 inches up from the bottom. Fill the bottom up with water 4 inches deep and pour some oil on the water. Next push a wire through one side of the jug and out the...
Awesome hunt! I went out to Kansas a few years ago and my experience was similar to yours. I arrowed one big gobbler the evening I got there, and my second the next morning. I can't nail a tom in Indiana with my shotgun, but going to Kansas I laid two out with my bow, go figure!
I'm pretty happy since I like oddball calibers, all my 30's have weird names like Norma mag, H&H, and Savage:) Plus now my son can use my 6mm this fall!
Anything firing a .243 or a .308 caliber bullet is legal. Nice!

You know in some parts of the country shooting at running deer is the norm, not everyone sits in treestands. There are volumes written about snapshooting deer. Stillhunting and tracking deer and then shooting them when you put them up is how most deer used to be shot. It's all about practice...
Francis E. Sell wrote a lot about hunting years ago. One of my favorite books has an entire chapter on "brush busting". He put targets behind screenings of hazel and huckleberry branches and fired hundreds of shots from dozens of rifles. His unscientific results showed that across the range of...
Growing up in Oregon I remember opening mornings in the mountains. As the sun came up you would hear a single rifle shot here and there across the canyons and ridges. It was a pretty big difference moving to Indiana as an adult. The woods are full of guys toting semi auto and pump shotguns...
There is nothing particularly hard about necking brass up or down, that doesn't make you a "professional". A condescending attitude towards those of us with far more experience than you makes me think you're not a professional. And not understanding simple English makes me know you're not a...
So devils advocate example I could see happening: Enough of these bleeding heart nuts get organized and get a petition to close the state park hunts. They start nagging and annoying their representatives until they pass a law ending hunting on state parks. I'd rather the DNR handle managing...
So we would be able to use a 243, a 300 or a 308...so I guess I could use my 300 H&H mag and my 300 savage, but not a 30tc because it's missing a 0? I don't have a 308win but I'll be good to go with my 308 norma mag...I can use a 243 but my 6mm would earn me a ticket...This is fun! It's like...
Interesting, especially since the 30-30, 300, 30-06, and 308 CARTRIDGES all shoot the same CALIBER bullet...who is making these rules again?
As far as the 22cf for deer, it's pretty common and effective. I grew up in Oregon and shot a nice buck with a 223, a guy I know took a lot with his...
If the teeth haven't fallen out, there is still connective tissue holding them in. Trust me, you want to get every last bit of that out or it will stink. I've done tons of deer, coyotes, raccoon, even a badger skull. Best thing is drop it in a bucket of water and forget about it until the end of...
