rapid tap makes a paste for taping and drilling and it makes alot less of a mess,doesnt run all over..

m.wun

Didnt take fancy hunting duds to bag it also

Hunting in S. Cal. can be cold early and then 85 degrees by noon.I layer up lightly and also wear a camo
fine mesh head mask.It breaks up your face but I like it because the gnats and flys stay away from my
ears and face.I can stay still without the bugs driving you nutts.

Costco brand Kirkland jeans for my thrashers 12.95 a pr.They arnt boot cut but they are
heavy denim and last.

m.wun

I have also been trying the magtech loads and they shoot well I was just comparing the price of the two
with them having the same bullets in them.Also want to try 180s for hunting in my Marlin.

m.wun

I have heard the Buck Hammer slugs from Rem. work great on bear. Full 12ga. diameter 1 3/8 oz.
solid slug at 1550 fps should plough a nice deep hole.

m.wun

If it was stuck in a engine block that would de easy but in a gun could be tricky.Any time you drill something like this try to get a quality bit (colbolt) and also turn at proper speed,go slow and if drilling through slow up when busting through.Also you could use cutting oil.I might be gung ho but...

Just got the Cabelas shooting book and noticed 357 loaded by Fiocchi with Hornady 158 XTP were
27.99 50 ct. and Hornady loads the same bullet for 19.99 25ct..Anybody know if theres a load
difference between them. 7 bucks for 25 more of the same is a big diff....

Well from what I read these days you have to shoot bears with a cartridge as big around as a 20 ga.shell necked down to 7mm with a surgical plastic laser bullet designed for 99% weight retention with a 6-14 power scope,but I would opt for the 44 with heavy bullets.Partialy because it holds 10 rounds...

m.wun

I will have to check them out. I use CCI cb longs and have shot hundreds of them out of my Rossi pump.Birds,rabbits,cats you name it.I found them faster out of a pistol then I read somewhere they peak out velosity at 9-10 in. barrels.The rossi is quieter than my beeman.And I like the heavier bullet ...

I was at Clearlake in June and loved the area,I saw countless turkeys around
all over,many deer and one big hog spread out on Hwy 20 east of the lake near
Cache Creek.I got to hunt up there some day,its a 9 hour drive so its alittle far.

m.wun

Just guessing here but I have soaked beef steaks in coca cola and it eats the
fat up real good.You cant leave it more than 20-30 min. or the meat falls apart
so it might work for bear even better.

m.wun

The idea sounds great for the single shot,but in a lever its close to a 35 Rem
and could be more work than its worth.

m.wun

Thanks for the line,got my youngest boys first b-day.I used to see deer in the bluejay campground area off Ortega.Its near the FS station on the summit. If you are interested in deer, I know some places in the Hemet area.I have pulled two of them out of there.At some point I do need to get out as I ...

m.wun

I also go too the badlands area east of Moreno Valley off of 60 and Gilman springs Rd. Some of the washes in there hold rabbits and quail.Most coyotes I see are at 300 yards and movin out.The place is steep with some dirt bikes on weekends but when its hot you may be alone.One area I have been wanti...

m.wun

I think LA is the only county you cant hunt rabbits with 22.Check out Garner
Valley off hwy 74 east of Lake Hemet.Its not the best but its at 4000 ft and
cooler.There are some deer,coyotes, and bobcats.A few mountain and valley quail
also.90 min. from orange co.

m.wun

Not much knowledge here but I do know you have too cure them
in a brine.If you eat them off the tree they are real bitter.There are
many different types and cures are different.Look at Foodnetworks
web site...

m.wun

For the pigs bigger is better.35 Rem or 45-70. 45-70 you can use light loads
then jump up too heavys for hogs.A big hog can be tough.Shooting over some
hounds close smaller cals. can work but further out you could use more power.

m.wun

If I put beer out in a bowl I might find my neighbor drinking out of it

m.wun

One of the best rabbit guns out there.hunted with one for jackrabbits 3in.#6 close
and Stingers out further.

m.wun

The loads I have shoot pretty good out of my Ruger 3 screw Blackhawk.The Unique
powder doesnt seem dirty out of my pistol.I have a handful of 158gr. xtp hp,158gr.Win.
hp,I would trade but I could shoot what I have left in one shoot.I really want to
try cast bullets as I never really gave them a try.

m.wun

I have some mild reloads in 357,38 with 158 gr.xtp with Unique powder.
Wondering how this powder is works in rifles?

m.wun

Just went to big 5 picked one up.Caught the sale a day early but they honored the
price so I didnt have to come back. $399.The normal price is 519.00 They also
have 336 30-30 and 1894 44mag for the same price.

m.wun

In S.Cal on Sunday big 5 has Marlin 336 30-30,1894 in 44 and 357 on sale for 399.00
I picked up a 357.They have the cheaper stocks(birch)but its a new levergun!!!

m.wun

So how do ya get oil out yer anise soos the bar kin smell um?

m.wun

The running price for a 357 Marlin in S.Cal (new)is around 500 out the door.
Does this sound about right???

m.wun

I would go big,N.AZ. has big body mulies..

m.wun

DITTO!!!

m.wun

Seems all ammo is higher now.The cost of copper is up alot but theres not
much on 22 bullets.I think its a case of monkey see monkey do.

m.wun

For close up I hear the Rem. Buckhammer loads are real stoppers. 1 3/8 oz.@1550
and there full 12 bore.

m.wun

You could start with a Handy rifle in 223 and if all works out and they like it
step em up with the 243.If its got to be a bolt a 7-08 would grow with them
better.My boy is only 4 and Im already thinking of it.Cant wait!

m.wun

Dont you have too keep these in the freezer???

m.wun

Wouldnt be great to find a pair of Birkenstock sandels under a fresh pile!!!

m.wun

Thanks for the input.I like the low power scopes on the marlins, where i hunt in cali. if you want a deer the first half hour of light is about all you get before all the road hunters run off everything.Shots can also be long sometimes,that scope lights em up to see em.grey deer+brown cover+low ligh...

m.wun

I know alot of folks here dont like scopes on their levers but thought someone here might have tried a shotgun slug style scope?I noticed they have longer eye relief so you could mount it farther forward to open up the hammer.Not real crazy about those extentions on the hammer and might make it fast...

m.wun

In Kalifornia the shows are garbage some times.There used to be a show in Pomona,Ca.
that had 8 miles of tables!!!!Good competition for prices and ton to look at.Your feet
would ache walking it.The last one I did find 170 gr. 30-30 federal for 8.50 a box..Hard
not to go again when you find deals

m.wun

I have cousins who operate a dairy and shoot 100+ a day and you would
never now one was missing...

m.wun

I shot a hog with blue eyes...One blue one way and one blue the other...

m.wun

Have not seen the race myself but I have seen where they come down the hill with the river right at the bottom of it.It would be hard enough to walk down and then swim across.I used to work in the Omak,Tonasket area during the spring time.There are places where you can see whitails,muleys,pheasant,b...

m.wun

Just saw it ,where was bob munden? The place they shot alot of the footage in Norco,Ca. is having a hands on gun show. MFG. of at least 20 companys showcase there guns.Wait in line,shoot any thing there you just pay for ammo.Marlins,Pumas,just about any thing else,I shot the Barret 50 BMG.5$$ per sh...

m.wun

The most important thing to do is have fun.In a good scouted area,a hike
in well before light,90% of a hunt can be done sitting.I find moving too
much makes alot of noise,Ca. is very dry.

m.wun

You could check out areas bordering Camp Pendelton and santa rosa plateu.there are avocado farms with water and cover.Bluejay campground area near ortega hwy. use to have deer also. I see deer daily off the 241 toll road,too bad its Irvine Ranch.Hard hunting,hot,dryand if the santa annas are blowing...

m.wun

From stats in dfg booklets Monteray Co. has the best success rate.
There are a few ranch hunts,guided and semi guided in the Paso Robles
area including Camp 5 Outfitters.Maybe a little too far south but
Tejon Ranch is hard to beat.

m.wun

They do have some doe hunts in certain areas but they are limited to junior hunts.Some are bow or muzzle loader only with the option of a doe or forked horn or better.The only real good thing about them they are later in the year between nov. jan. Most of our seasons are early when its 80-100 degrees.

m.wun

I would think you could pack a small inflatible and pump it
up.If you shoot one throw it in there and tow behind you...

m.wun

I saw a butcher shop scald a pig with a big hand held weed burner
hooked up to a 5 gallon LPG tank. Nice big flame but not too hot.

m.wun

The picture shows some spotted hogs. Its fun to see if you can shoot
the ugliest one you can. They seem to take better pictures than the pretty
ones.

m.wun

The little ones can be the best eaters unless you want bacon. Once I skinned one out ,rented a big rottiserie from a party rental place.If skinned its best to wrap it in non galvanized chicken wire to hold it together.180 lbs. of charcoal and a pile of oak, 10 hours of slow turning I fed a party of ...

m.wun

I have been looking for FPS. on the new L. evolution in .357 for rifles.Hornady only lists velosity for it in handgun, at 1400 fps. The bullet is a 140 gr. the Speer man. lists a 140 at 1900 max. Buffalo Bore has a 158 gr. up around 2100. The ammo is pricy but for hunting sounds like you could get a...

m.wun

I agree with most here.Any bullet heavy for cal. will drop em with a good shot.I shot a feral hog at 10 yards, facing me between the eyes with a 7mm mag.The 150 gr.slug never exited .It blew up inside him only 1-2 feet in.That pig was only 70 lbs. A .44 or such I think would of pennd. alot deeper. T...
