Re: World record elk--(if you say so)

I thought hunts were high on that New Mexico Indian reservation at $16,000 a pop! Holy Cow, some people must have a lot of money to spend for hunting sake. I never was about the score on a bull or buck, we always tried to bring home meat for the winter mainly. I do like venison, elk steaks and moose...

Re: 270 vs 7-08

Glen I own a couple of .270 Winchesters in model 70 Classic and pre-64 action. I once owned a 7mm-08 but did not like the muzzle blast from that short model 70 barrel at the time. I don't shoot any competition anymore, (pistols & Camp Perry some years back) but I can tell you a bunch about elk h...

Re: 400 yard mule deer

Re: Tell us about yourself...

Howdy Folks! I am known as TONK and love to shoot guns and hunt birds with our dogs! Some call me an Ozark Country Boy at heart, even though I now have a gray of gray hair on my head. I never thought much about all these new calibers that have hit the market, until I took the pluge after viewing sev...
