If you are shooting a deer at 500 yds, that is desperation or stupidity. Yep, I hunt with a fouled barrel.

My boss, a florist, has been known to use their carcasses on flower arrangements, so he doesn’t want them torn up!

Drugstores have the “tiny condoms”. They call them fingercots. Or buy a box of disposable gloves and cut off a finger.

Great thread, it appears a lot of these stories have been kept under wraps for awhile. Confession is good for the soul, it is said, and the confessional is still open! :). I haven’t belly laughed...

Spam is 90% fat, that alone can give you gastric upset. Heart attack in a can it is. It is a high test food, use it only if doing activities that require those kind of calories.

In Middle Tn they are called the “Hairy Man”!(HM) I used to work nights so when off, I hiked at night, and was told by the mentally challenged man across the street to watch out for the HM. I...
In the field I have had but one encounter. He DIDNT check our fishing licenses. Just wanted to look in our live well. Nothing in there! :)

I think scent is over rated. Our forefathers smelled ( baths as we know them didn’t exist), they cooked on wood in the cabins fireplace. That is why you hunt into the wind. I agree, just get out...
Moose are more dangerous than bear. Moose are as unpredictable as bear. As you noted momma’s are protective. Those moose may have been forced into your area due to the fire destroying their usual...
I appreciate this no nonsense “bear thread”. I live in Middle Tn, and have bear. Every two to three years a bear, termed as a “honey bear” by the old timers, comes through digging up the yellow...

Yep, I have a Baofeng too. 2 meter/440 MHz. I have been a ham since early ‘70’s, but when out hunting with non hams we use FRS. We hunt on Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), and are rarely more than...

Why do you use that lube? I find boolits in the berms at various ranges, that after fired could be reloaded as is! No change noted in the lube deposit. That is why I tumble lube. I think powder...

Good you found the cause. I was curious why you use such a short OAL for your magnum loads? For my 77/44 I can get away with 1.650, but can do 1.7 for my revolvers.

I am not interested in the HP aspect, but I do have a Charter Bulldog with the 2.5 inch barrel. Generally, I shoot 240 gr LSWC with 14.5 grs 2400 for my best accuracy. How accurate are your 200gr...
I have had multiple .38 snubs, only one with a bobbed hammer. You draw them with your thumb on the hammer. NO SNAG!

I have had 2 Charter Arms Bulldogs. The second one I bought a couple of years ago with a 2.5 inch barrel, and on the paperwork it states that it was rated for +P ammo. My goto ammo is 240gr LSWC...
I have enjoyed the discussions. Dead is dead, whether by round ball, LSWC, WFN, or LFN. Carry on.

So why do we use caliber, and not “frontal area” to describe the bullet? Seems like you all bait and switch, forget we are talking about apples? To me. When someone gets shot
