How long does a deer remember where he was shot at (& missed)? Buddy of mine said that deer not only remember but communicate that experience to other deer. Not sure I believe that. But the question is: Once you've shot at and missed a deer from your tree stand is there any chance he'll come...

I was told by the LGS that Tikka doesn't list a 6.5x55mm Swede caliber in their new catalog. Does anyone know where one is for sale? Seems like this caliber is becoming harder to fine these days. Who else makes this gun with the same workmanship? TIA

This is my third year deer hunting and I've noticed something. I usually get to my stand 30 minutes before legal time to shoot, which is 30 minutes before daybreak. During that time and actual daybreak I start to seeing things start to move in this twilignt zone. Dark things (like trees...

Having just read the thread on Liver Shots..... I have a question of "Where do you shoot when making a Neck Shot?" I've only been hunting white tail deer for (this is my third year) and have always aimed center of mass behind the shoulder. Some have dropped right there and others have ran as...

Does anybody have plans for a cheap homemade deer cart. It can be made out of wood or steel. I suppect you could use 15" or 16" bicycle tires. It would sure beat dragging a deer back to the truck. TIA

Picked up a box of Federal Spitfire Hyper-Velocity hollow point 31 grain. Has anybody had any experience with this 1500 FPS round? How does it compare with strandard ammo? What amount of drop is there at 100 yds.? Is this okay so use in a Marlin 39A? TIA

Does anybody sell a Savage barrel kit like Brownells' with a 6.5mm barrel? Comes with barrel, nut wrench, go & no-go gauges, bore cleaning paste, gun oil, and instructions for $201. I called Brownells they said they don't special order. E.R. Shaw makes one in 1-8 & 1-9 twist for $160...

I heard something today that I would like some clarification on. A guy at work said that if the govenor declares a state of emergency then it is illegal for you to leave your house with a gun even though you have a CCW. If a cop stops you and you tell him you have a CCW, he can arrest you...

I have a Savage 110 in 308. What calibers are available with this action that I can rebarrel to? I already have a 30-06 & 6.5x55. Just want to compliment these two with a samler caliber. TIA

I know to be a consistant successful deer hunter preparation is the key. What do you do when you find a scrap and a rub? What does the buck use this for? To mark his territory, attack does, etc.? Does he pee in it and keep checking it daily? Am I supposed to avoid it by not...

My 30-06 is zeroed at 100 yds. on level ground. Where do I hold on a target 175 yds. away shooting from an 18 ft. high tower? Ammo is Federal Power-Shok 150 gr. soft point. I'm not sure if I should shoot high or low. Is there a formula for such questions? TIA

Talked to a gunsmith at the gunshow today. Said he'd build me a 6.5x55mm gun on a VZ-24 action. The decison I need to make is what barrel to use. A&B or E.R. Shaw? Which is better or are they about the same? The price is not. Or are there others that I need to consider? Another...

If you've found a commerical ammo that you'd like to duplicate, how do you find out what powder to use? My guns likes Federal Power-shok ammo in .308 & 30-06 Spring. Anybody know what to use? TIA

When you want to swap barrels on a Savage 110 how do you line up the iron sights or the scope mounts so that it is in the correct place each time? Does the barrel have a slot it slides in and then the barrel nut just tightens it up like a ferrule nut on plumbing fittings? I am told the...

I know most everybody knowledgeable about guns already know the latest scoop about this topic, but I don't and need someone to clarify it for me. I saw yesterday a program discussing the Remington 700 series problem of accidentally firing when the safety was released with a round in the...

Just thought I'd share my experience last Saturday morning deer hunting. I was in my hand built wooden stand by 5:30 A.M. The temp was about 38 degrees and foggy. I was looking straight out in front at a bush hogged field that was 200 yds. long. My left eye started watering, so I very slowly...
