    Realistic Field Shooting

    "We all have to know our limitations". Some people don't know what they don't know and it seems like you ran across shooters than hunters. Each person comes up different. If there was a school for people who didn't grow up hunting that would be great. In the old days I would write a mail order course on this very subject, with steps. It's interesting to read the comments and see how others have achieved their current level. Coach, websites like this, Long Range Hunting and the fad of 1,200 yard MOA groups take a novice from 0 to 200MPH in the blink of an eye which is good but sometimes leads to limited skills and that is on the person behind the trigger.

    It just takes one bull to start feeling his oats and the others respond accordingly.

    9/12 FISHING REPORT

    They revamped the Fishing Report about two years ago to what it is now, which is basically people calling in and giving a report when they catch something.

    300 Win Mag hunting loads

    I used the Trophy Bonded in my 22-250 and they worked great at 30 yards and 225 yards on a doe hunt with my two kids around 2000.

    300 Win Mag hunting loads

    I will say that the 168 HVLD in my 7Mag put a fist sized whole in the neck of a Coues I shot in January at 225 yards. So I would almost welcome a bullet with a thicker jacket. The same load Goldfinger used on his Elk at almost 3X's the distance also was pretty explosive.

    300 Win Mag hunting loads

    I'm sure he is looking for load data. It's a versatile round so my question to the OP is what game are you looking to shoot? I always loaded different weight bullets in my 300 depending on what the quarry was.

    Could have happened anywhere. But did you report it?

    Walmart ends all handgun ammunition

    So, should they not pay the ammo company who sold it, the vendor who delivered it, the employee who put it on the shelf? So tell me. Just where does that loss get absorbed in the business? Raise the price on tomatoes $.20 a pound for six months?

    Dive Boat Incident

    The wheels at NFPA move slow. I'm not a maritime warrior but the crews on these boats just give the passengers a very quick rundown on the safety procedures. You can expect to see some big changes as to what systems are on boats.

    Dive Boat Incident

    I'm sure many of you have read of this by now. It strikes home for me as over the 4th my son and I spent three nights fishing on a boat with the same dimensions. Our bunks were just below the hatch by the bow so we had a possible escape route but there wasn't any instruction on how to use it. Really makes you wonder why it seems that nobody made it out from below deck or if there was any fire suppression system in there. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/04/california-dive-boat-fire-33-bodies-recovered-1-still-missing.html

    Dive Boat Incident

    I read that they believe it started in the galley. Also the owners filed a lawsuit to avoid liability under a law that dates back to 1851. Looking at the boat it looks identical to the one I fished on in July. https://www.foxnews.com/us/conception-dive-boat-owners-lawsuit-liability-rescue-attempts

    Larry Willis Collet Die

    I'm not a fan of bumping the shoulder back on belted magnums, would rather neck size on a bolt gun. Dis you check case length to see how much they stretched and if they need trimming?

    Larry Willis Collet Die

    How many times have they been reloaded and are you bumping the shoulder back too much?

    Chainsaw

    If my son didn't already own this very one I'd buy it. Vitalzone this isn't Craigs List. Either step up or bow out. Like Sue Says. We don't Need No Cheap Arse Monkey!

    Local Paper Buck

    Just an honest question here. My first event was when the Navajo Nation sponsored one in the mid 90's. The whole intent was to eliminate as many coyotes as possible. There was an entry fee for teams of two and no electronics. How was this not a wack'em stack'em contest? There were 28 teams from six states and if I remember it there were 64, really uneducated coyotes removed from the landscape between sunrise on saturday to three o'clock on sunday.
