I have an old Montgomery Wards bolt action 12 gauge shotgun that has accounted for ducks, Fox, wild hogs, dove and deer. Paid $75.00 for it in the late 70s. Still use it.

Darn good hog gun too!!

I have a Mossberg 464 30-30. Sweet little lever action. I use Hornady’s 150 grain FTX 30-30 bullets in it. 1 1/2 inch grips at 100 yards on a bench rest and 4X scope.

Paul when your son is grown he is going to have so many fond hunting memories. I have always been grateful my Dad left me so many memories of the fishing and hunting trips.

Part of mine is age and part is change. We hunted same lease for 31 years. It was “ home”. You fix things up a little at a time and it gets to be more comfortable and more like home with every year. This is the 5th season since we lost it, and I have looked for another lease. I haven’t found anythi...

I am trying to figure out their travel patterns in hopes of finding the bedding areas. Ambushing them moving from the bedding areas to the scrapes and rubs area is probably my best hope. In Oklahoma it took me a few years to figure them out. In the river spot I was on the wrong side of the creek!! B...

Your story reminded me of my Elk hunts when I lived in Wyoming. Chains on all four and always carry a couple of good shovels.

You guys are tough!!

2022 is my first year not killing a deer in many years. Between skin cancer surgery, flu/sinus infection and bad weather I only got out to hunt 4 times. The season stays open into February but I am leaving for our annual 2 month trip to Florida on Tuesday. The deer here rut much later than the deer ...

Scouted the swamp again yesterday. Only been about a week since I was out there. No sign last week but yesterday found lots of rubs and scrapes. What a difference a week makes!! 17 deg F tomorrow with windy conditions. May wait for a thaw. Running out of time to. Leaving for Florida 2nd week of Janu...

The areas I hunted last year had lots of scrapes, rubs, etc. This year all I am finding is a track or two. The fields were in corn last year but this year it’s soybeans. I got sick at Thanksgiving, just now feeling ok. I have only been out a couple of times but hope to get out after the rain stops. ...

Great story!!

Sweet! I’m going to shoot tomorrow and I hope my Eclipse is that close.

Good luck and have fun.

Season opens here the 15th. I know I should have taken the Exomax out of the closet much sooner. Took over to my daughter’s house to shoot it. Shot it at 20, 30, and 40 yards. At 20 and 30 yards same hole accuracy. At 40 yards 1 to 1 1/2 inch group. I attribute that to the windy conditions and me. S...
