RE: Tough Merriams - Need Advice

My experience with Merriams in the Black Hills is that they are very nomadic. The tracking studies found that they frequently cover 12 miles a day. Just because there is sign doesn't mean they are...

RE: Best time to hunt Merriums??

Whenever you can get out. I've shot most of mine midmorning or early afternoon. Hunt them all day if you can.

RE: undertaker choke tube

In my two win 1300s it shoots anything as long as it's 6 shot very well. Doesn't seem to matter what brand. If it's 40 yards or closer it's dead. Getting 12-18bone hits at 40 yards.

RE: heavyweight in 870

RE: Federal Flitecontrol problems?

Was that .670 choke recommendation for a standard bored barrel? A .670 would be a very tight choke in your overbored 835.

RE: choke question?

The winchester super x2 is back bored with a standard bore diameter of .741. In most chokes a xxfull is .680 and a xxxfull is .670. So yours at .665 is very tight. I'm guessing that #6 lead or #5 or...

RE: Rain for the next week and a half....ugh

They'll stay on roost a bit longer and head to the fields, roads or meadows. With a period of rain that long you should be able to pattern them pretty well.
