I think the absolute best place to go in both zones would be somewhere where there's a water source nearby, as well as a good food supply, and cover. If you find a spot like that, look for game trails. Then, return to this area as often as possible to glass for hours and hours and hours, and...

Check out CalGuns. Their "Marketplace" forum always has Ruger American in .30-06, usually like new, for $300 or less, and it's a great rifle.

The hydrostatic shock of the TTSX bullet will greatly surpass a bullet that fragments inside the animal. That hydrostatic shock will destroy tissue and organs more "thoroughly" than little copper fragments. Check out the first pics posted in this thread.... a TTSX bullet that stayed inside the...

Do you really think the tiny fragments actually have any energy behind them when they separate and create notable wound channels? I could be wrong, but the massive wound channel, of either a copper or mixed metal bullet is in the first 4-8". From there, you either have a 180gr intact...

I must've had to say that about a thousand times. It all boiled down to practice. Practice, practice, practice. More importantly, practice how you will be shooting in the field. There is no bench. Practice prone, sitting, kneeling, with shooting sticks, and offhand. When I am shooting my...

I started with trail cameras about 2-3 weeks ago. I've got 4 now, and my total investment, including 32g SD cards and batteries is about $375-400, with the cameras being $99, $54, $54, & $50. I've been to "my area" 6 times now in the last few weeks, and have seen people out there 2 times. All...

Just keep in mind this follows a path along the ground, VS., as a crow flies. Helpful when hiking from A to B, NOT helpful when deciding if A is a good place to shoot FROM at an animal standing at B. I have an app on my iPhone called "Topo Maps" and it has a good ranging feature for the...

"Sight alignment is correct when the tip of the front sight post is perfectly centered, both horizontally and vertically, within the rear sight aperture, SIR!"

Thanks for the info guys, glad to know I won't have to work up a new round :) I am surprised you were able to recover the bullets. Hey, good souvenir!

I have the SWFA SS 10X40 with side parallax on my Remmy 700 SPS Tac and love it. Tracks perfectly. I will be replacing it soon with a Vortex Viper PST though.... the rifle came with the SWFA. Both TiborasaurusRex and Jason Rose gave it VERY favorable reviews, and I would consider their...

Hey guys, Im wondering what y'all think of the Barnes TTSX for deer, specifically the 180gr. The reason I ask is I have a great load .30-06 recipe for this round that I'm using for moose, and would like to use the same for deer to keep things simple. Is this too heavy of a bullet for the MUCH...

Hi Aeon, I certainly understand your position, and if I understand correctly, your position is essentially, "give the guy a break, crap happens." While you did list several legitimate circumstances that certainly fall in the "crap happens" category, I have to disagree that his actions are...

So, I only watched the third video, and what I gathered was: 1. We was shooting towards livestock and a road, with a vehicle passing by seconds after he took the first shot. 2. He was shooting beyond what HIS effective range was with the equipment he was using. 3. He decided to shoot, 5...

I guess its a good demonstration of how good their sense of smell is?

Well...looks like I have to go back out there tonight..... because I just picked up two more cameras :) These things are GENIUS!!

What advantage do they offer for hunting?

I think considering this is my first attempt at deer scouting, finding good habitat on legal land with difficult access, this is a success! This validates my "theory" that this would be a good area, and now not only do I know THAT they are here, but I know WHEN they are here, which direction...

I'm working on being ready. Going out to check my 2 cameras tomorrow. Took Hunter's Ed today and went to get my license and tag, but "the state is updating so we can't issue any licenses." My wife hasn't given me the green light on deer yet. In fact she gave me the red light. I'm going to...

And next time you zero a new scope, do it at 25 yards. You'll be done after 2 rounds. 25 yard zero matches 100 yard zero.

Dang, those are GREAT pictures!!
