How do you like this: Today's Deals on Steep and Cheap: Hunting is pretty cool if you're a kid. You get to dress up in rad clothes and walk around in the forest with a loaded gun.

You're raising some good hunters there. To be honest, we don't wear hearing protection or eye while hunting. The risk of not wearing eye protection is too high, IMO. The cost cost of not wearing ear protection is also too high, IMO. Especially with the fairly low cost and high quality electronic ea...

Oh, and just curious, what's the load you're using for deer? It's a 7.62x39 using Winchester Power Point 123gr. factory loads. I don't use a .223 where I hunt because the deer get big sometimes. Check out my post on the 7yo shooting his first deer. That mulie was fairly small, probably 150 lbs on t...

Nice pictures, how are mule deer populations in your area?

They seem to be down quite a bit from the last couple of years.

I fully agree with your 7-yo grandson's use of an EBR for his first deer. Break him in slowly. Next year, have him use a levergun.

It's funny. The 7yo likes his rifle and wouldn't trade it for any other. The 9yo feels the same way about his M336.

Man, a nice buck and turkey in the same season - or was that your 9 year old that got the turkey? Anyway, regardless congrats!!

My dad took these while we were sitting in a blind early one morning last week. Some of these came up within 10 yards of us and they hung around for 20 minutes or so.

I took my two oldest hunting this past week. The 9yo is an old salt with 4 deer to his credit but the 7yo hadn't scored a deer before.

He started out warming up with a Chipmunk on paper targets and a steel plate. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q241/Bitmaps_photos/practice2008/shoot1.jpg Here is a pic out the door of the shed towards the backstop. Thats about 30 yards. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q241/Bitmaps_photos/pract...

Real good , specialy with that long stock.

With a proper scope properly mounted (IER scope mounted forward) the LOP is not so critical as it is with aperture sights or rear mounted scopes.

I can use the same rifle easily without adjustments although I prefer to take off the cheek rest.

Bitmap

Really just to confirm zero on his deer rifle because he gets enough practice. He started out practicing with a Chipmunk. Here he is shooting out of the shed where I store target holders, chairs, benches, etc. for the range. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q241/Bitmaps_photos/practice2008/shoot1....

I think the following covers it fairly well. From Jeff Cooper: Remember then the Gunsite Bear Rules: 1. Be alert. 2. Remember that bears are not cuddly. 3. Never enter bear country without a powerful firearm and the skill to use it well. 4. Never camp on a bear thoroughfare. 5. Be alert.

Good ideas so far. Another couple of ideas: If you see the critters how about a sling shot? Marbles or ball bearings. If that won't work, or if the critters are attacking after dark how about either motion sensor lights or one of the motion sensor controls that activates a sprinkler? These are adver...

If my memory serves me right, I think sometimes a shell would pop out of the action if I used a shorter than usual shell and the bolt pushed it forward in the mag. when closing the action. Always make sure the shells are well back in the mag. These are 2 3/4 inch shells and it is marked 2 3/4 inch ...

I'd pick whichever feels and fits you best. It is easy to add camo to a gun. You can buy camo tape or camo covers that shrink to fit with the heat from a hair dryer. Another option is to buy a pack of the camo cloth and cut pieces to fit the gun and just tie it around the receiver and barrel. Burlap...

I'm not sure about the 336, but the 336 with a suffix usually had a front sight ramp mounted to the barrel with screws and a front sight post dovetailed into the ramp, while the 30AS has a taller front post dovetailed into the barrel itself. These probably varied by year of manufacture. Also, I thin...
