    I keep the coyotes in check pretty well around here too! I took 5 or 6 just off of the 185 acre home farm last year. I’ve taken 2 so far this year but I know there is more out there.

    Thanks guys! To answer a few questions, here they really aren’t considered a game animal, more of a nuisance animal than anything. Not too different from how prairie dogs are viewed, I guess. People...

    Woodchuckin’

    Believe it or not, the Speer 90 grain TNT’s work great on hogs! At Grendel velocities they aren’t as explosive as one might think and seem to do a great deal of damage and more often than not pass...

    Do you know this for certain or is this a rumor? Because it looks pretty plain in the rule book that the cartridge case length only comes into play in a rifle. Just like with police officers, DNR...

    293090

    The case length requirement only pertains to rifles, 38-44 loads should work just fine out of a pistol in any part of Michigan.

    I’ve been loading the Lee c358-200 rf in 38sp cases with IMR 4227 with great success. 12 grains gets me to 915 fps out of a 4 3/4” barreled Pietta SAA clone and is very accurate and actually shoots...

    Nice job! Yup, it can take a lot less power than most people think to knock a deer over as long as it’s placed properly!
