Is anyone changing things this season ?

I am having great luck with this rifle it feeds every bullet I have ever tried in it from 200gr RNFP 45 Colts too 405gr WFNGC 454 Casull's.

Once I removed the piece of crap fiber optic rear sight and installed the rear sight from my Marlin 1895GS I found this rifle to be extremely accurate resulting in 1" - 1 1/2" 50 yard groups with my 240gr XTP-Mag @ 2300fps 454 Casull loads.

I haven't had time to work with this load at longer distances yet but will have it figured out before I head out hunting in about 2 weeks.
 
Well I commited to hunting a new spot for moose with a friend, and afterword found out I won the Bull lottery in my usual WMU, so I'll be helpinng him find a moose, and then trying for an adult with the usual crowd...

Also hoping to get out specifically for a couple of huge blackbear that have been walking past my trail cams...

A couple guys in my group have decided not to take the doe tag they won this season due to the new rule of paying $20 if you win. Its not that they cannot afford it, but simply the fact the Gov't decided to charge this for the first time without any explanation. Its $40 plus for a deer licence, $8 I think it was to register for the doe lottery, and $5 to register your deer when you do get one. So its around $75 to shoot your doe ....getting pretty pricey. The least they could have done was tell us where the $20 is going.
 
Buy yourself all the new toys you need, but for some it may be beneficial to get into better shape. No sense in buying a $4000 gun and not being able to pack it without wheezing your guts out.
 
I'm going to try some still hunting this year,I'm normally a walker.Also this year the ole 30-06 will be sitting in the safe except on rainy days.I've got a couple of new 99's that I want to hunt with this year a .308 and a .250 .
 
This year I'm going to hit the deer for a change! I might use the .308 for deer as well, instead of only taking the .375 H+H.

Theres not many want to hear that, but good on you for the truth:)
 
Because of the price of gas I won't be going on any speculative trips to areas I don't know, but will go to one specific area to try to fill my LEH doe tag and find her boyfriend. Might try this 30-30 Marlin I restored from a rusted seized basket case. See how she shoots at the range tomorrow.
