    The day began as one would expect a good Sunday to begin. Breakfast together, excellent late summer weather, and a small harvest of what little the warm summer allowed to grow in the garden. A basket of apples, and a few pumpkins were the yield, while my one year old son went after the...

  3. Hawg Hunting
    Greetings. Hope everyone is happy and healthy. Summer is hot and everything is expensive. Except the hawg hunt we went on with family this June. The outfitter gave a discount across the board if you signed up early. I called a young cousin who I took deer hunting his first time and asked if he’d...

    When selecting a hunting knife it is important to choose the right blade for the right purpose. A hunting knife blade is ideally 4-5 inches long and should be constructed in good quality steel that can be sharpened. When considering handles, remember if you are using it to gut the animal or...

    I am currently looking at range finders and see they very all over the place. I have seen the Halo XL450 as a good deal but have read reviews stating its only really good over 52yrds. Also I have looked at the Bushnell Truth with clearshot and the Vortex 1000 and 1300. Not sure which one to go...

    I just recently bought my first marlin, a model 60 for 100.14 even. My buddy said he wants to take me squirrel hunting. I was raised by a single mother, so I’ve never been hunting, but I’ve been raised around guns. It’s the squirrel model that has the squirrel etched on the stock. The only issue...

    The season doesn't open for a few more months but I want to get my act together beforehand so I don't put it off until last minute. Any tips for hunting deer? I'm in NY, so it'll be a close range shot (probably less than 50 yards due to trees). Specifically: •Shot placement? I'd prefer to drop...

    *Still new to hunting, need a little advice* I have a traditional style Ka Bar that I used on my first hunt (turkey) and found that it was a bit too cumbersome to clean the animal after the kill. Does anyone have an opinion on Ka Bars as hunting knives or an recommendation on a better one? Deer...

    For context, as a boy decades ago, I went hunting with my father three times in very different locations. These were still-hunt days (i.e., no dogs). Got out reasonably early each time. Every single time, one or two pick-up trucks would show up with dogs, running them in basically our...

    Howdy all fellow freedom lovers. I just joined the eternal brotherhood of the 2nd amendment with a recent purchase of a beautiful Marlin 795. Heading to the range today to get her broken in. Plan on running a brick of CCI through her with perhaps a few cleaning patches during the process. Here...

    Hey there, I'm from Black Forest, Germany and i'm very interested in the Marlin leveractions expecially in .45-70 Gov. I search for something special considering the .45-70 and cast bullets. Currently I hunt with my .308 Win with a 110 Grains Barnes TSX loaded at 3100 fps. I`ve tried a lot...
  12. Hawg Hunting
    This past weekend my father organized a pig hunt with Hog Wild USA (Forsyth, GA) for us and a couple of friends and family. Going from Southwest Virginia to Georgia I expected it to be a lot warmer but night time temperatures were hovering just above freezing. Consequently the pigs were not...

    Hey all, So, a brief background first.. I live in California and have never hunted before, but I promised myself I'd try it at least a few times this year. I plan to start with either Boar or Deer, but I'm not necessarily sure about what location. I need to get a pair of hunting boots because...

    I was wondering if anyone here subscribes to the moon position philosophy? Hunting when the moon is overhead or underfoot? And if you do, have you ever purchased this: http://www.moonguide.com/? I've only recently learned about it. Seems it's like anything, some use it, some don't. Curious on...
