    Steep and bluffy, rocky areas. Will beds mid morning and sometimes arvo, seem to feed mid day fairly often. Listen for them, will hear them bleating if you get a bit of elevation. This time of year...

    Well put Barry the Hunter. I had a Winchester Model 94 in 22 Magnum (I wouldn't recommend Magnum for plinking tin cans, unless you have money to burn!), but the you can't beat a lever action, with...

    The good old 3x3 rule works for me, even though I have a couple of dial scopes. I dont have the need to shoot beyond 300-350, much easier just to stalk closer. And if you dont dial, you dont need to...

    This woke world we now live in seems to be rubbing off on a few. I probably wouldn’t have a beer there but it would be nice to have the choice. We need less control in our lives not more!

    Barry the hunter liked post by McNotty On thread : What do Pig hunters want ?
    We’ve just always used Rossi 44 mag running 240 grain hollow points. Never had an issue. Nice and simple. I thought if you wanted a nice simple setup you’d just run a single shot Bergara 44 mag

    If the firearm is to be used in the DOC estate shotgun cartridges aren't an option. Also have seen 410 slugs fail more than once, knew other who had the same experience, maybe poor ammo? Used 20...
