My unsolicited opinion on the matter has to do with the intended use. They're designed as a cheap rifle to get people into hunting for a small amount of money. Most of these beginners aren't going to be hiking through elderberry thickets in the Rockies after elk. They're going to be walking down...

I've never been, but a friend of mine uses a 30-06 with 150gr core lokt bullets. I figure that when I do go it will probably be with a 280 and 140 ttsx.

My AR-15 has a 1-7" twist. I found that it shoots 60gr Remington HP 223 the most accurately. The caveat being, it's A2 style open sights and I'm shooting prone across a windy canyon at a paper target stapled to a pine tree. That being said, it was shooting about 2" at 230y. My Ruger...

Red dots are legal here. Go for it.

Hello internet. So, yesterday I was out burning some ammo with a friend, somewhere around 230 yards. We were just plinking some pinecones and a couple sheets of letter paper tacked to bushes, nothing technical. Anyway, at one point I thought I'd lob some 9mm out there from my Beretta 92...

Hey everyone. Sorry about the delay in posting the ending, but that "computer issue" I mentioned was actually my laptop telling me it was minutes from dying - permanently. So my laptop, with practically all of the rest of my pictures, is totally toast, though I may be able to recover some of...

Now for today, which is the 30th of December. This is just about closest I have gotten to a bear this season. I made it out of the house at 10:30. Later than I'd wanted, but the earliest I could. I decided to go to the same place I went Monday. I've seen bears there in the past week (just...

December 29. I got out around 1:30 to a new place. Some friends of mine had a bear get into their chicken coop this week, but their land borders huntable forest. When I got out, the fog was beginning to burn off, but it was still pretty thick in a lot of places. This first picture shows the...

Well, nobody ever claimed the internet was perfect...which is good, since mine has been down the past two days. But, here is the report for December 27. Nothing. I took that day off because we were forecast for lightening, and crawling around the side of a mountain in a thunderstorm wasn't...

Part 2 of December 26. While I was in the treeline, I took advantage of the good cover to have a snack and change from my black hoodie (which is nice and warm, and decent as a concealing garment) into one of my Christmas presents that I got in October. This is a Kryptek shirt, lightweight...

On to the 26 I couldn't get out to hunt until almost 11pm. Partly it was weather. The other part was because my grandma was parked behind my truck and slept late. It gave me a chance to walk my dog before going out though, so I guess there's that. I went to an area that is close to where I...

Part 2 of the 25. This is where I set up to glass. I walked all the way around the rim of the cut and was about half way down the other side. I had a bush to my back, and a stump to put my backpack on as a rifle rest. I was only here for around 45 minutes, but in that time I saw a coyote...

On to the 25th! I didn't get out into the woods until 11, and only got to hunt until ~3, but I covered a lot of ground. This is in the same canyon as the one I was in on the 23, but instead of driving to the top, I started at the bottom.And here's another Mountain Lion track.This picture...

Thanks for the nice words. Continuing with the story. On the 24, I didn't do any dedicated hunting. I brought my 9mm when I took the dog for a walk, and naturally that was the day I saw a bear. He was an older boar around 200lbs, dark brown but not quite black. This picture is his front...

Part 2 of December 23, 2017 Again, this is still in the fire, but it gives a good view of how steep the area is without the underbrush. This was on a north face of the mountain, so it was still snowy. And ridiculously slippery.Here was our lunch stop. By this time it was about 2pm, so we...
