Now, describe your favorite cooking method. I have never eaten goose. Usually, I make chili or stew out of them but lately a buddy and I have been following a local guy named Hank Shaw, when it comes to cooking gamebirds. He's a professional chef who happens to hunt and eat just about anything that...

I've kicked myself too many times to count after passing up several 99's in .243. Never again.
It's on my short wishlist, however, funds and safe space are even shorter at the moment.

Sounds like you came out on the better end of that bargain.

Bagged these this morning about an hour after sunrise. Two fat Canadas and a hen goldeneye duck. They dropped into the decoys looking for love. http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff334/stew71/photobucket-198018-1358363973177.jpg Boy, was it chilly today. 26deg and ice on the ponds.

Thanks Nath. Nope. Extractors only. I don't mind though. I prefer to not litter the duck blind or clays range.

I finally found the perfect field-grade, working-man's SxS shotgun. For that last year or so, I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a good, low-cost, used SxS for the duck blind and pheasant fields. And here it is...a very slightly used CZ Ringneck 12gauge. The action isn't even broken in yet, so I d...

Mergus, thanks for posting those recipes. I've forwarded them to my buddy. If we pop a couple in the remainder of the season, we'll give them a try.

Thanks!!

Hey Perry....yeah sorry I missed your PM. Sounds like Sutter did pretty well this year, huh? :) A buddy of mine has permission to hunt some ponds on grazing land south of town towards Elk Grove. Not the best shooting but we bag a bird or two per week. It's nice to get in a nice quick morning hunt on...

This is one of the best charities, in my opinion, that helps wounded veterans.

Only 6% admin overhead costs. The rest goes right to the troops and their families. They also seem to be very non-political.

I picked up a new scope for the AR, one of those Nikon M-223's. It has the BDC reticle that's supposedly calibrated for the standard 55gr AR round. Well, it certainly did the job at 100 yards. Shooting the 62gr Federal green tip M855 round, I was able to get 3 - 5 round groups just over 1", whi...

Why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?

Lead poisoning will do that sometimes.

That's a scary-looking black rifle. It must be banned, of course. For the good of society.

My 1911 feels like it's part of my right hand. Strangely enough, so have the S&W M&P 9's that I've been checking out lately. S&W really did a fine job making this pistol feel "right", at least to me. My dad's Remington 700 fits perfectly on my shoulder. My eye always falls in l...

My wife's uncle sent us a shipment of Alaskan cow moose last week. Several large beautiful roasts. We traded him for a good helping of our Alaskan halibut. I've never cooked moose before, but I imagine it's not much different than a large elk or caribou roast. I'd be interested in some favorite reci...

In three days of scouting, I saw no bucks, and only twice did I see does, This is what deer hunting has become in California. It flat out sucks thanks to mis-management by the turdknockers that run Fish & Game. Too many hunters as well. Of course, you add in the mis-management of the national f...

Now wait just a minute. You expect us to believe that you filled your tag without using the latest composite-stocked SuperMagnumDeerSlayer? And no scope?

Unpossible.

I really really want a Savage 99.

Mine are all reliable AND pretty.

Sorry. No complaints here.

Ive been thinking about getting a 338 Marlin XLR for Alaska. There were a couple in a local shop recently, pre-Remington IIRC. Our big-game hunting seasons here in NorCal tend to be rather hot and dry so I don't see as many SS/laminate versions here. Mostly standard blue/walnut. But that's just me. ...

Only one i've ever seen that was happened to be a single slug from contact distance through the ribs. Gangmember vs gangmember, he ceased to have a heart, lungs and upper GI with one shot and died of rapid blood loss in seconds. The second slug probably didn't help, but the first killed him. That w...

Thankfully, all of my 7.62 NATO stock is authentic British & Australian military surplus.

Time for a new hunting jacket. The old Cabela's Gore-Tex shell finally gave up the ghost this last season. I'm eyeballing the Sitka Downpour jacket. A bit pricey, but looks like it will fit the bill. Packable, lightweight, breathable, waterproof.

Opinions either way are appreciated.

stew71

Nice set up. I have a buddy that buys hard-side luggage at the local thrift store for $5 per bag and bolts them onto his KLR. They last about a year or two, then he chucks 'em and buys another set.

It sure was. You can still find the odd Savage 99 over here chambered for the Hi-Power. You'll pay a premium on it, though. Model 99's in good shape are pricey.

The right one. He's probably younger so his flesh would hopefully be more tender. The rack is irrelevant to me. I hunt to put meat in the freezer.

That being said, I've never had bucks like those in my sights.

I picked up a brick of 1000 Wolf primers at our range shop for about $22. Remington and Winchester bricks are running around $26. Not too bad. CCI #34's seem scarce at the moment.

I have an issue paying the hazmat fees so I stock up from Cabela's or Scheels when I pass through Reno.

Yeah thanks for the heads-up. Was planning to check it out while visiting the family.

A kid used one on our local skeet range. Got all sorts of chuckles and snerks from the "Browning and Perazzi-only" snobs. He did quite well IIRC.

Ugly as sin, but it apparently works well enough for him.

Yup...I've had this on my Android for a couple of months. They're really good about updating it with new reticle types, scope makes, etc. Very handy to have at the range.

I'm assuming from your post that both lowers are for the 5.56. In that case, I'd stick with the 6.8. Good enough for deer and piggies at your common hunting ranges. I've seen 6.8 SPC ammo at most gun shops so availability shouldn't be too much of an issue. Your mileage may vary of course. As for the...

Never shot one, but I seem to be really good at hitting them with the Subaru. Last count was 3, I think.
