The two main places I hunt are overrun with turkeys. The farm I hunt in SE MI. is overrun with coons too. No money in pelts anymore .

As MFL205 stated, this is not a 200+ yard gun. But in the woodlots and fields of traditionally shotgun only areas this caliber shines. A couple years ago Michigan started allowing the use of some straight wall cartridges in what was our restricted to slugs only zone.Roughly dividing the state in to...

After my latest surgery for a retina tear I decided to cut down on recoil . Traded off the 450 Bushmaster and my slug gun . The 350 is listed at 7 ft. Lbs. of felt recoil . Along with my .257 Bob I think im good to go.

Data you need to know is projectile weight, powder weight, gun weight, and velocity. Assuming 9 pound gun, 300 grain bullet, 100 grains powder, 1750 fps - 37 ft-lbs If you shoot the 250 gr Barnes - a little less. If your gun weighs less than 9 pounds - a little more. Thanks Spur. That seems like a ...

Pretty cool chart ,but I don’t think it will work for black powder or black powder subbstitute.

As previously posted. I am once again recovering from retina surgery . With previous surgeries I decided to download the 30 06 for deer as well as downloading for turkeys . The main reason I switched to a 20ga. From the 12. This year I plan on using my .257 Roberts for deer . 9 ftlbs as compared to ...

Mend up quick, and enjoy your time in the woods. What caused the tear if you don’t mind the question ? Not sure what caused it the first time. Pre 2003.They put in what they call a buckle. Since then its been cataracts in both eyes with lens replacements. I was good to go until I fell in 2003. Frac...

Another season ruined by torn retina . Surgery on Thursday. Ar least I should be able to gun hunt come Nov. 15th . Probably use the .257 Roberts for reduced recoil .

Get well my Brother.

Been researching kielbasa recipes for the 10 lbs. of ground pork I have from last years pig . Came across this old ad . Yeowwwwwwww !

I like it,but I can't use it in Michigan. If our firearms are in the cab they have to be in a gun case . Even then if the DNR stops you they try to tell you firearms have to be in the trunk or bed regardless of what the rule book says.

That sound good .

Smoked a bunch of steelheads just before the storm came through and we lost our power .

Gotta post the prep and prepare or it didn't happen cause I have the worst luck when it comes to ribs.

Welcome HP.

The only change I'm going to make is switching to med.rings to lower the scope a bit. Maybe raise poi 1/2 inch.

Forgot to post pic of my whistle pig whacker .

PCP. I need to get a carbon fiber tank cause that hand powered air pump will flat wear you out.

Got the new Benjamin Marauder dialed in . Beans might have chance now . .25 caliber at 900 fps . White tape is 4 shots at 25 yards . Target is 8 shots at 45 yards . 25 is front of garden . 45 is back of garden .

Never had the priviledge of meeting this gentleman,but really admire him. In Adrian Mi. there is a full service gun store .Im not plugging the store but it is my favorite. I just wanted to share this post with you because it just screams freedom to me. 357130526_830874421712066_2483121635822559073_n...
