I saw a video of someone who uses a tennis ball and a pickup truck. I don’t think that was any faster. This guy is impressive! Also note that I think that deer is young and tender and fresh. A mature buck that’s been dead since 7:30 this morning in below zero weather might take him an extra 30...

My son moved out of Iowa and I checked for him (he thought maybe he’d come home to hunt)- yeah. No. The IDNR website says that your actual cost is $644 plus fees. That, apparently, is without buying whatever those advantage point thingies is all about. Thanks, no. I’ll spend $160 to hunt with...

My son, dad, and I all shoot a CVA Optima. My nephew shoots a Wolf. All four of us take deer at 75-100 yards regularly. To date my three longest shots to harvest deer were right at 150 yards. All three were .50 cal because it was just too far from my stand for a slug. (Started carrying it...

...not to mention a 200 yard eye, finger, and shoulder. I’m honest and realistic enough to admit that a 225 yard shot (which I’ve done quite well off the bench, with a rest, in perfect weather) is not a hunting reality for me. My rifle will do 225 with 1 1/2 groups, but I’d never take a hunting...

Oh, yeah. Iowa. I forgot. Y’all get together with your 40 closest friends and chase every deer out of a woods patch and shoot at ‘em while they run past... [emoji23] All stand hunting, for me. There’s often a shot walking in - or out, like at lunch time. But no block-and-drive nonsense for me...

3-9x40 or 2-7x33 On a 450 Bushmaster? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What’s happening with HF 716 (or whatever they’re calling the rifle hunting bill). Is it still alive? Any chance of killing it, or is it likely to pass? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

YES!! The 2A isn’t about hunting. Sometimes I wonder if (someone) is trying to drive a wedge between hunters and 2A people. If the Grabbers and Anti’s can set their common enemies at odds, their work will be much easier. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Bushy, but I see no need for a .300 Wby mag...

I don’t disagree with a lot of what you’re saying. I was VERY unhappy for years being restricted to the legal weapons in Iowa. I experimented with .50 muzzle loader- accurate and long range, but twice (once in the rain) had a hang-fire or no-fire, things that rarely happen with modern arms...

If they allow rifle cartridges with a “shoulder” (and I hope they don’t), I would like to see them also limit the kinds of rifles that can be used. They already publish a list of allowable shotgun gauges and pistol cartridges and (the currently legal) rifle cartridges. Why not a similar list of...

I read a brief (New England Journal of Medicine, I think- a good few years ago when I was a chemist) where two guys went to Dr with symptoms that ended up LOOKING like Mad Cow. They tested inconclusively positive for a disease that humans “can’t get”. A few observation days later in the...

Hahahaha! Enquiring minds want to know!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know who “they” is, but prior to SHOT, Winchester employees had harvested over 30 deer with the round out to 200 yards, all of which were one shot kills, none of which traveled more than 30 yards (according to two publication reviews I read). It meets Iowa’s definition of a legal...

CCI just calls theirs rimfire shotshell. Available in both .22 long rifle and .22 wmr (.22 mag). They have a nickel case and a blue dome that contains the shot. Winchester’s are in their Super X line. I think they call the #12 shot .22 long rifle shotshell. You can get them lots of places-...

https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/cci-shotshell-rimfire-ammo Two types. Winchester has a crimped brass shell, but I’ve found that the shot leads a rifled barrel terribly. The CCI are a little better, but shoot jacketed bullets after and scrub that barrel! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not selling one, but my kids all started on the Mossberg 500 Bantam. My son outgrew his and I sold it, but my daughters both added the extra inch extension (which still leaves it a slighter shorter pull length than most fowling pieces) and are still shooting them. They’re a great lady’s gun. One...

I asked my lgs guy, “I have a Ruger Security Six .357 mag I’d like to carry during deer season. Shots under 50 yards. What ammo do you suggest?” He answered, “If I was going to shoot a deer with a .357 mag, I’d get a .44 mag” I’ve carried it, but never shot a deer with the .357. Some day I’d...

That’s just sad. I didn’t know. It was better the other way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s interesting because I told someone that I thought Iowa’s shotgun regulation is, and always has been, about limiting effectiveness and not about safety, and that the safety argument is really just an excuse. The guy wigged out on me, ranting about how I didn’t know anything about guns, and...
