I’ve never liked the BLR’s, and would rather have a Savage 99 than the Browning if wanting a .308. While I agree they are two different tools, if forced to choose, I’d pick a Marlin Big Bore.

Hunting ammo? Realistically, about 50-60 rounds per rifle, except 44 mag. I could shoot til doomsday and I’d not run out of ammo for it. But it’s my plinking and hog/bear rifle too.

Sounds like a doe was bred around late September to early October.

That’s my kind of gun.

I ain’t much of a turkey hunter, but if I do go, I’ll carry my ancient camo Mossberg 500 with an extry full choke. It rearranges my cheekbone and blurs my vision when I pull the trigger, but I haven’t been punched in the face for a day or two, so what the heck.

In 1985, a High School buddy killed the first coyote that I ever saw in Montgomery county where I grew up. It got a lot of attention, and I believe he had a full body mount done with it.

That’s right, and not left to rot.

I was gonna say buy two bricks of primers, but yeah, what you bought will do it too….

Beautiful buck. Glad he’s been able to evade the bears for so long.

Now that there is a real rifle.

They ultimately get turned loose and disappear. ICE won’t do a dang thing.
