TPS Arms M6 Scout - 357 over 410 - Rabbit hunt and cook.

[Brobee]

My self-sanity-preservation project this past winter:

Had a lot of fun with the platform, am hoping to take it big game hunting this coming fall.

Cheers,

Brobee

Another great video. I’m curious, what are the hollow point 357 bullets shown in the beginning of the video?

Thanks Brobee,, nothing better than sneaking around looking for bunnies.

Really nice, and recipe to add to the collection! I think the 22 hornet would be great for rabbit and grouse maybe better then the 357!?!?

 

[DGY]

Just did a quick search and none in 22 hornet available that I can find!

I’ve got one in .357 and .410. I just can’t find a scope mount for it. The 357 barrel is very accurate.

It’s Hornady’s 158gr FP-XTP (35780) - my understanding is that it is engineered for optimal performance at carbine velocities. On my list of things to explore this summer is a comparison between the FP and the regular XTP.

Was lucky to bag this little snowshoe buck this afternoon:



Addendum field note video now in editing - birch roasted bush bunny!

I have the one in 22 hornet over 410
Kind of a neat gun I actually haven’t tried shooting the hornet yet just a few rounds of the 410

I'm hoping to try mine out this fall. It's actually brobee's old one that's in 22hornet. No big game on pei, so 22cal is alright.

Addendum hunt - when roasting rabbits, are birch coals better than spruce and poplar?

Maple is even better ....... but I guess not available in your area.

 

[Brobee]

So wish we had maple around here....but alas....

edited to add...when cooking on maple coals, are there hints of something like maple syrup?

In NWO always try an use dead standing jack pine for lunch fires in the bush

Pinus banksiana

Brobee .... I use a lot of red maple for my BBQs .... and one of the advantages with red maple is that it burns even when green.

I mostly use green red maple ....

And I can smell/taste the difference between red maple and birch.

Now I am not the culinary expert ... so not sure how to describe it .... but I prefer maple over birch.

That big log in the fire was a live red maple tree 30 min before this picture was taken ....

We have some pine around here...will have to try that! For sure there is a lot of lodgepole, think we have jack pine too.

That sounds and looks AMAZING. I think there is only one species of native maple here (Manitoba maple), and it looks to only grow in the south east part of the province. Maybe there is a road trip in my future for prairie hare over Manitoba maple...
