    ?? Crow Sniping

    Back to the OP's question. I use a half dozen decoys, and I also use bread that has been soaked in RED jello, makes no difference what flavor. What you are doing is making it look like meat. Make sure you break the bread a bit. When they try eating the bread they will not be spooked because...

    scope for the poor man

    I can tell you first hand to take a look at the Muellers. I have 2 of them. I have the 4.5-14x40APV and the 8.5-25x44 tactical. The APV can be found for under $150, and I picked up the tactical for $120.00. The tactical, I was in the right place at the right time and got a steal on it. Retail it...

    My wife is tough!

    In 2004 my wife was diagnosed with MS. From 2004 until 2009 she battled numerous relapses that required heavy doses of steroids which left her with osteoporosis. Fortunately in 2009 the Dr's replaced her medication which has kept her relapse free to date. But the kicker is that studies have...

    Run Bambi Run

    Our gun season opens in Wisconsin this weekend. Took the afternoon off to sight in the 7mm. It was dead on last year, but some time between last year and this year it decided to move. Was hitting high left about 4" at 100yds. A little messing around and it was shooting 1/2" pattern at 100yds...

    Found a bargain

    Went to my local hardware store the other day to pick up some 17hm2 ammo. I asked the guy behind the counter if they had any in stock. He said yes they had 9 50 boxes and 1 brick. Asked him how much and he said $5.99/box. I had to try and hide my excitement because the cheapest I have seen...

    trading my 7mm rem mag

    I live in Wisconsin and currently have a savage 110 in 7mm rem mag. This gun is much more than I need for deer hunting. What I am considering is trading it for something like a 243, 270, or 25-06. the reason for the smaller caliber is I am wanting something that is reasonable for both deer and...

    What is your most consistently accurate caliber?

    Most accurate for what they were engineered for would be a toss up between my 17hm2 and 17hmr for shorter ranges. For longer ranges out to 400yds my Savage 7mm rem mag. Past 400yds would require a different trigger puller behind the scope.
