Oh deer... ;) I didn't think I might stymie a long-time member. Addendum: I texted my buddy this new information, and he asked if wearing a solid blaze hoodie under his upland vest would suffice. I guess he wants to keep it for the padded shoulders. Can't say as I blame him; he's rather slight...

Thanks Rjack! Saved me an impulse buy. I think I've got a spare that will fit him, so it's all good!

I have one gun ( Remington 870) with two different personalities. For solo hunting (private land) I use a 36" rifled bull barrel from Verney-Carron. Groups Federal Sabots in an inch at 100 yards. For groups or really brushy country, I use the smooth barrel that came with it. 18" with rifle...

Howdy all! Another year, another deer (hopefully). Anywho, a new hunting buddy posed me a question I simply couldn't answer. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that, but I am still pretty new to this. Anyways, I invited a co-worker of mine along for first shotgun season. He's all for it, but has...

Admittedly, I was a bit puzzled when I first read the "Straight wall regulations". Once I got it puzzled out, it did birth an interesting idea. I wouldn't mind having a single-shot break-barrel for deer, maybe a double rifle. Blame it on growing up reading Allan Quatermain while everyone else...

Howdy guys. Pardon the thread necromancy, but I figured I might "Put a Hat on the matter", as one might say. Due to time constraints between my two jobs (Full-time paramedic, part-time tobacconist), I was only able to have four available days during Shotgun 2. My wife co-opted one to help with...

I'm still a neophyte, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I would err towards foods (more specifically, the odors of said foods) that deer might also eat. Think apples, peanut butter sandwiches, maybe some raisins. Took just this combo on an all-day scouting trip, and saw quite a bit. I...

Heh. Sorry for the confusion. I used to be a literature major, so I tend to talk a little "bookish".

Thank you very much, guys. A few pieces of info have come to light in the last few hours. My wife's grandparents have a farm out by Oakland they would be willing to let me hunt. Nice stand of brush overlooking corn fields, crossed by a stream with an animal barn at my back, never been hunted...

Howdy all. To make a long story short, a freak incident of good luck has left me with a very nice slug gun and a lot of questions. Due to limited time and finances, I am in need of some serious advice. To make things more clear, I am now the flabbergasted owner of a Remington 870 12-gauge with a...
