Adds up to 501 grains. Did a measurement with my reloading scale and came up with 491. So, I am confident I am righ...

Re: Swamp Bucks

Missed a doe this morning. My fault 100%. At least I am seeing deer. I hope I am correctly figuring out their pattern. Looks like they are in the corn and soybean fields at night and use the wood lot strips to travel to and from their bedding areas. They like to bed in areas bordered by water on at ...

Re: Swamp Bucks

I have a Sherpa cart kit for my Summit Viper and a sled so I can get them out ok. Fortunately the area has several raised roads for the farmers in the refuge. Once you get off the roads it is wet and thick.

Re: Removing Inserts

I will get an 8-32 screw the proper length, cut it off and screw it into the soldering iron for removing the broadhead inserts.

Swamp Bucks

I hunt the swamps now here in Northern Alabama. While the past two seasons is not a long hunt history I have been surprised by their sudden appearance when they do show up. The area goes from no fresh sign at all in the woods to being covered in rubs and scrapes almost overnight. Most of it is done ...

Re: Great-nowhere to hunt now

Hunting private or public land bordering someone else's property can be tricky. You are at the mercy of the owner's perceptions of you and their life changes. A buddy of mine lost his hunting ground after helping out an elderly rancher with his chores for quite a while. He pitched in to bail hay, fe...

Re: Old sporting gear

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.

Re: Ruger 30-30

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.
