Sure you are, you still have to load the bullet via the muzzle.

The biggest benefits I see for this would be keeping things dry and being able to remove the entire charge from the ML instead of just the cap. All you would be leaving in the rifle would be the sabot. It may save a tiny bit of time, but you no longer have the option of fine tuning your load. Most people dont do that anyway, they just buy powder pellets and stuff a few of them down the barrel.

Hot water, then as much baking soda as you can, then add vinegar in doses until it clears. After its clear, more hot water. If that doesnt work, snake it.

They make stuff called Insta-Flo that will knock that crap out, also baking soda and vinegar works, but it takes longer. I have used it on partial and fully clogged drains and it works great.

That situation was part of why empirehunting.com folded

He found them alright. On ebay.

Racks calander probably. Id be willing to bet they want to stay as far away from his name as most others.

Mr Wiktor? Is that you?

You wont beat a predators nose when you are out calling. I dont bother even trying. Having your setup right is way more important. Predators, especially coyotes, will circle downwind of the call most of the time. You just have to make sure that they need to break out into the open when they do, so you can take the shot before they bust you.

It was a thong, not a jock strap. He made it to compete with Pygmy's red squirrel banana hammock.

Life changed, moved and no room to store it.

6 months is the shortest time I have gotten so far. Both of mine are still kicking and I put the current batteries in them back in June. If you are running them through the cold months, lithiums perform way better than alkalines in low temps. I tested the theory with some of my Brownings the winter before last on carcass piles. I had two of the same model with the same settings pointing at the same place, one with alkalines and the other with lithiums. When temps were below 30 degrees or so, the camera with the alkalines would actually miss pictures that the camera with the lithiums took. The colder it got, the more it happened. If your cams are not cellular, then its not as big of a deal unless you are running them in the dead of winter. You have to go to them to check the cards anyhow. I prefer to leave my cameras out and not go near them for as long as possible, which is why I run cellular or cuddelinks with the exception of 2 cameras.

I get close to 6 months out of my Spartans with Lithiums, and they send alot of pictures. The one thing you want to be aware of with Lithiums, is that the camera will generally show 100% battery life right up until they die. If you have a camera with Lithiums that shows less than full battery, my advice is to install new ones ASAP.

For the last 4 years, Ive been living with the pickiest eaters youd ever run into. Seriously, those people turn their noses up at everything. You ever see a kid that doesnt like pizza? I lived with 2. If I cooked venison, noone but me and my kids would eat it, so I just stopped cooking it very much. Now that its just me and my kids, we are back to eating it all the time. Weve had it 5 times in 2 weeks already lol.

I run lithium in most of my cams (except Cuddelinks that take D batteries) and its worth it if you run them in the winter. Alkalines dont last that long in super cold weather, and performance of that camera will be affected. I cant speak for a cheap camera, I have done comparisons between every cheap cam I have ever had and the higher end ones I have (cheap cam and higher end cam on the same tree with similar settings). They just dont compare. You get what you pay for. Some of the more entry level Brownings are well worth the extra cost, and they arent that much more than what you are looking at.

Ive used vacuum sealed venison that has not been thawed since it went into the freezer that was 3 years old and it was fine. Youll know if you thaw it and its not good, it has that sweet rotting smell to it. Any sausage product cut with pork, 1 year max because of the pork.

They have been open since October in Henrietta. Ive been in there a few times. Its alot of the same stuff that F&S had in there. At first they were doing alot of clearance sales on the F&S branded stuff, not sure whats left of that now.

I had the issue as well, talked to John about it yesterday, and by the time we started testing, it had gone away.

I shot one a couple of years ago with a 140gr Federal Fusion out of my 308, it pretty much split the dog in half when it hit bone.

Im with moog on this. Actually, rut hunting and predator hunting are a dead even tie for me. If I had more success predator hunting, it may even be better than rut hunting to me. I dont have Thermal, and even if I didnt run NV, Id say the same thing. Its a blast.

First rule of ATN NV, take the illuminator it comes with and throw it away and get yourself a good IR light. I went with a Wicked Lights IR/red model and its awesome.

But on a small caliber like 223, muzzle jump isnt an issue really. I run a carbine barrel and a brake and its like shooting a pellet gun.

My advice would be dont cheap out on lights. Ive gone this route, and it wasnt worth it. I ended up going with Wicked Lights, they are well worth the $. The call part is easy, buy the Alpha Dogg I have for sale, Ill even give you a bit of a discount to help you get into it. Its a great call, Id still be using it if I wasnt given a FoxPro as a gift.
