    What is your Best Hunting Story?

    One cold winter morning in South Carolina. One of those days where the muddy ground spewed upward with ice and crunched as you walked across the land. The path led to a small round opening in the woods. Grassy spots along the ground. I crossed to the opposite side and climbed up into a pine...

    What is the longest shot you have made on a live target

    Well, it ain't much compared to most but one shot @375 yards - doe. I'm still pretty happy about it. I was using the old "Kentucky Windage" method. Rem Mountain rifle, model 700 in 7mm08 using factory 140 grain core lokt.

    What’s the farthest you have taken a big game animal with a rifle?

    400 yards. Whitetail doe hunting a powerline in SC. 7mm-08 with factory Remington 140 gr Core-Lokt. One shot. Surprised myself how well the shot placed at that range since I only target at 100 yards. Just hit about six inches lower than I was expecting.

    Best 7mm out there now

    I think everyone really missed [the mark] and meant to say that the best is a 30-06. I say that because i had one once. :) BUT, I love the 7mm round. Mine don't seem to run as fast as most mentioned in this thread. That's ok. I guess being "older" does that to things. I have a 7mm-08 pushing...

    New Sitka Stratus Bib...

    I also reached out to Sitka and they have responded already! Thank you Sitka! Thanks for reaching out. You shouldn't need to wash the bibs before you use them for the first time. I would recommend washing them if they get smelly, it can happen after a few uses but it's really up to your...

    New Sitka Stratus Bib...

    First time buying clothing at this level. Silly question to most but, should I wash them before using? To remove factory scents, etc.? If you have similar clothing, how often do you wash them?

    Best deer cart?

    Will be using in the Appalachian Mountains... they still get pretty steep - again this year. Getting older though... 61 now. Not in the best shape but working on that. But, I know I will need help hauling out. Looking for a recommendation on a deer cart. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Keeping your barrel cool…

    My shooting range provides bottled water - refrigerated. I use this with a towel. Pour a straight line of water along the width of the towel. Then I squeeze the towle so it is not sopping wet. Lay that on top of the barrel for about 2-3 minutes and then wipe barrel down with the dry end of...
