• Hunting with Hounds?

  by Hitman February 15, 2009
  I love all dogs and can see the use for hunting birds over dogs. However I personally do not like hunting pigs, mountain lions, leopards, black bears with dogs. I am not against any fellow hunter from doing so, it's just not my thing. I just do not have the heart to shoot a cornered anim...

• Hogs are not what they seem!

  by Hitman January 27, 2009
  I am writing this blog and do not mean to offend anyone but one hears of hogs commonly weighing 300-400lbs. I ask the simple question was your pig actually weighed on a scale?

• The sexiest little cartridge ever!

  by Hitman January 24, 2009
  In my opinion that place goes to the 22 Hornet. I can say from my own experience it is a very accurate cartridge. One of the finest rifles that it was chambered in was the now discountinued Brno ZKK465, a true minature mauser action with a double set trigger. The current CZ 550 which is th...
