    No they can fuck off. Paid canned hunts and trophy hunts are “ethically challenged” and create extremely bad press for all hunters. Secondly as Smiddy says, non deserving shits and giggles cowboys...

    I managed to get a free weekend so conned a mate into going back to an area I hadn't been in to in years. Walking in to the hut on Friday night reminded me why I hadn't been back in 5 years! I am...

    The red faces are from the cold and retrieval, Mooseman didn't tell the full story. I couldn't find the animal from my second shot, with darkness closing in I scoured the area with no joy then...

    Mooseman liked post by Tahr On thread : 7mm rem mag vs 300 wsm
    An old farts view is that the 308 kills better than a 7-08 'cos of the bigger hole. My experience is the same with the 7RM v 300 (albeit limited with the 7RM) - bigger, mushier, bleedier, deaderer. ...

    Mooseman liked post by Ryan_Songhurst On thread : .270 Berger Classic Hunter 140g
    I would (and do) use the 150s, any 10 twist barrel will stabilise them just fine, 140s are a funny thing in the 270, they dont have the speed of a 130 and dont have the thump of a 150, some might say...

    This is good advice i reckon, you definitely need to be honest with yourself about what 'long range' is for you in a hunting situation. IE in most steap as public land, often a 400-500 yard shot...
