This is one step foward and 10 steps back. PCRs have been legal nearing a decade. I would have planned my gun season in another state if I would have known this sooner.
If those bird feeders are in your yard I would say no. If they are in the woods on a deer path that crosses your treestand I would be cautious about it.
To be safe and sportmanlike remove them no matter the location at least a month before you plan on hunting. Another person could stumble upon one and not know or care where you set up and people like to talk.
This sums it up well enough. From past experiences I have had aweful times on park hunts when I showed up in the dark without scouting and no topographic maps in my pack.
Fast forward some years later and I enjoy the park hunts, Brown County and Versailles the most. I NEVER take a treestand on...
How big is the woods your hunting in? Still hunting is a good strategy during weather like your predicting. As far as your 2 scenarios I have had luck sitting on the edges of cut fields during bad weather. Sometimes the deer will come out in the fields earlier because they have spent more time...
I am too far out in the country but still prepared. The way I see it is the rioters would have already looted their fill and returned home because they got hungry. Farming would be too much work for the kind of people who expect a lot and throw tantrums when they don't get their way.
But in...
The best public ground deer gun is kind of a hard one to answer. It matters what works best for you and your hunting situation. I will take it you don't reload and will buy store bought ammo, it will determine my recommended choices.
If I had to pick a slug gun it would be a Savage 220.
A PCR...
I know right. They should allow those two under a non-HPR classifaction since .450 Bushmaster and .458 Socom are similar enough ballistically.
Same for all big bore guns that shoot heavy bullets with a low B.C. that have lower velocities. They should be classed different than the high velocity...
I've been thinking about a 300 blackout upper lately but I might just wait and see if they allow 6.8 SPC whenever they get around to allowing more calibers. Not interested in a suppressor so I see no atvantage of getting a 300 blackout except to fufill the have something right now urge.
Well that changes what I was led to believe, that gravity will pull bullets to the earth at the same speed, so velocity is dependant and how far a bullet will travel before it hits the earth. There are so many other factors to this so anything is possible. I wish the link gave some links that...
.300 Blackout will be a fine addition to the already legal AR-15 calibers. And now the AR-10 and the M1A in .308 will be good to go for us. Ak-47 and SKS allowed too. It is a good day for MSR's. Pretty soon the rules will be .243 and up so we can use all the other rifle calibers that got skipped...
A scoped high powered rifle is geared to precise accurate shots capable of long ranges, not quite the proper tool for your topic. If you want to try to shoot running deer with a HPR think again. I am not going to lose a newly given right, which had much opposition due to safety concerns, because...
I use a Fox Meduim Transport Pack for a range pack. It fits everything and is a backpack so I have both hands free to carry guns and targets. Good for long walks. It isn't too pricey like the Maxpedition Falcon 2 that I use for hunting, which the Fox is a cheaper clone of the Maxpedition.
2400 exels in cold weather, gets good accuracy, and can be loaded hot to mild but is dirty. H110 loads are as accurate as 2400 and is cleaner but must be loaded hot. Lil-Gun gives 100 fps increases over the other 2 in rifles but will flame cut a revolver. I stick with 2400 for the versatility...
