Has anyone been on a successful wolf hunt or knows an outfitter that is well regarded in Canada? I’m interested in this for 2027/28. Thx!

I’ve been hunting the Craig Colorado area for the past 25 years.This past fall the game commission had a testing requirement for all animals harvested in our unit. We took four healthy looking buck for testing and three were positive for CWD. So, i am not sure you can look at the condition of an...

I am going to look at the Seekings, Weatherby alpine ct 307, and the Waypoint 2020. I’ll be in Arizona on a cat hunt in early Jan and there is a Scheels store in Chandler with lots of these type rifles. Thx to all for the info.

I have a Tikka T3 lite in 7mm mag with a leupold scope.It’s my go to gun for the past 20 years and shoots anything i put in it well. Has served me well in Colorado, Alaska, Canada and Africa. Agree that most older calibers still work as good as newer ones. I just have an itch to look at...

Just looking for a quality rifle to hunt and maybe do some longer range target shooting. But to be honest i haven’t done any consistent long range shooting or competitions. But who knows, retirement is 2-5 years out.

I’m thinking of getting a higher end bolt rifle or maybe a custom build. I have been looking at a Springfield Waypoit 2020 with carbon barrel. I know there are Seekins, Bergera, Fierce, Christensen and others in this price and quality range. I know there are people on here who are gun...

No doubt it’s enough or more than needed for most all critters at any reasonable range. I just struggle with Whelen lovers who claim it’s equal or more than either the .300 or .338 mag in actual velocity/power and at the same time has less recoil. Love the passion for a fav cartridge but not the...

Thx for the hunt report. I’ve hunted 2x with Pieter and it was a great. As you mentioned, he has many properties near his family farm and all are game rich. He also has some great primarily bow areas that are 2-4 hours away that we stayed at for a few days on my two hunts. Pieter and Dani will...

Thx. Wouldn’t a decent pre64 be much higher?

Visiting an a silent auction that has a Win 94AE commemorative .30-.30 for sale. The serial# is 6139355. Gun is in very good condition with almost no blemishes. It’s close to new. Last bid was $700. I was thinking of bidding $750. I don’t need it but i don’t have a .30-.30 lever. Any blemishes...

In my early years i took quite a few whitetail and a black bear in PA with my grandfathers .35 REM pump with 200 grain core lokt. In late Jan 2025 i brought her out of the safe for the first time in 30+ years and took a mountain lion in Arizona. The 200 grain core lokts performed as i remember...

Glad you survived that unfortunate incident. [emoji23]

A pussy cat? Similar recoil to your other favorite, the .243 i guess? Sorry had to poke you a little. [emoji38]. I’d say at least a large bobcat or small mountain lion. “For every action there is an EQUAL, and opposite reaction” Newton’s laws of motion. No such thing as free energy with guns...

I am very familiar with Ashby. I like that kind of stuff and don’t question the data. I made 950 total weight arrows (including 250 grain 2 blade VPA broadhead) and took to Africa as i was considering a Giraffe. They flew great but outside of Giraffe or maybe Eland, i don’t are really needed. I...

I’ve taken these 4 animals multiple times with a setup of a 60-70 lb compound bow, 125-150 grain fixed broadhead with total arrow weight in the 500 grain range. No issues, numerous pass throughs. My 60 lb bow had a clean pass through on a kudu and a waterbuck last July. I would be surprised on...
