    Hunting & Fishing Grendel hunting

    BTW, the best blood trails I have ever had on deer and hogs have come from 2 blade broadheads - Magnus Stingers and Zephyr Tempest heads. One of the shortest blood trails I have ever had came from the Zephyr out of a recurve - the small buck went about 10 yards. One of the most profuse blood...

    Hunting & Fishing Grendel hunting

    @Toney198 sounds like we hunt in similar terrain. My daughter (13) and I sit in double ladder stands together, and we are always near thick cover like you mention. This is her 5th season hunting with me. In my experience, very few deer drop where they stand with vital shots. I have had some...

    Hunting & Fishing Grendel hunting

    No disrespect intended here, but you have one sample size. My daughter and I have taken 9 animals in 2 seasons with a Howa 6.5 Grendel. Last season I loaded the Sierra 120 Pro Hunter. Blood trails were fine, and all animals were dead and recovered. This year I loaded 123 SST, same results as...

    Hunting & Fishing Whitetail Deer and cattle

    Good afternoon, If you have hunted for deer on cattle farms or something similar what has been your experience? Did the cattle have an affect on your hunting? I have my own opinions, but would like to hear from others. thanks

    Hunting & Fishing Scent attractants

    I try to use the wind to my advantage, but Saturday was a typical day for the terrain and region I hunt - the wind came from 4 different directions. An important question for anyone reading or participating in this thread: How many of you are bowhunters?

    A few cartridges losing popularity? It seems

    I did the same with my daughter. When she was 9 I bought the Ruger American Ranch rifle in 300 blk. We both used it and took several deer with Barnes 110, Hornady 125 SST, and the only factory round a 150 Deer season XP. It performed fine for her first 3 deer, and the game I shot with it. I...

    A few cartridges losing popularity? It seems

    @MarinePMI you’re 100% right about the mags, but I hope the action stays. I have one in 6.5 Grendel and use a Jefferson Outdoors BDL bottom metal = a very nice whitetail rifle. Oregon Gunsmithing and Jefferson Outdoors both make BDL bottom metal for it.

    A few cartridges losing popularity? It seems

    It is losing ground in bolt guns. As far as an AR and it’s intended role as a suppressed subsonic round it is fine. It may even be King. Ruger used to have multiple variations of the BLK in their American Ranch rifle - now one. Howa had several variations in their 1500 mini, and now only a...

    A few cartridges losing popularity? It seems

    Although from a handloaders perspective I would choose 6 creed over 243.

    A few cartridges losing popularity? It seems

    I agree with @rjacobs i don’t think the 6 creed ever caught on with the average hunter. The .243 has too much of a presence. And @sirboom has a very valid summary.

    A few cartridges losing popularity? It seems

    6 creedmoor and 300 blackout Edit: Bergara also cut the 6 creedmoor from the B14 HMR. Since the 350 Legend came along Ruger and Howa both have pulled back offerings in 300 blackout in their bolt action rifles. Both companies also have dropped the 6 creedmoor - with one exception Ruger still...

    Hunting & Fishing Scent attractants

    I have seen deer lick the leaves of a bush where I sprayed the original Scrape Juice Bowhunter’s Setup. This scent was made here in Georgia, but I haven’t seen it in over a decade. Some old timers say vanilla extract will work. They dilute it and spray it on plants as a curiosity scent. I have...

    Walker Razor hearing protection or ?? * for daughter for hunting*

    That is a great idea. She already has a pair of Airpods that may work really well - no need for a cord which is a win.

    Walker Razor hearing protection or ?? * for daughter for hunting*

    Morning, Asking the Hide before I order. My 13 year old daughter and I deer hunt together - same stand. She likes to be on her phone or tablet while sitting. Yes, I did a search, but most of the recent info is about in ear protection that is more than I can spend right now. Unless someone...

    My thoughts on Remington

    You all have me curious out of ignorance. What’s wrong with the 1100? I’ve got a 20 gauge lightweight model from the early 80s that works well. Haven’t shot it in a few years though.

    Thinking about getting a vudoo, or should I settle for a CZ? Advice needed.

    @Merlin O you're not wrong in your statement, but you're not right either. (your 3rd from last sentence is absolutely right) Just because a person wants and buys an expensive rifle like a Vudoo doesn't mean they have something to prove and is a snob trying to boost their ego. Maybe they like...

    Hunting & Fishing 6 vs 6.5 for whitetail?

    Hunting season is upon us, so bringing up the old thread. Last year my daughter and I took 7 animals with a 6.5 grendel. No problem for Georgia deer, hogs, and coyotes. I've got a 6.5 creed that I am putting together for my primary hunting rifle, and a backup to the Howa mini Grendel. She...
