RE: Hickory, NC

I'm from Morganton, which is about 25 miles west of Hickory on I-40. Can't help you much with the Hickory area though. I was always going north toward Boone or west toward Asheville. Luckily though,...

RE: Spotting Scopes

Yeah, I had heard good things about the Burris scopes and had every intention of buying the Fullfield. However, after looking through it and several others, it simply wasn't very clear. I had read...

RE: Tough decision to make

The scope is probably 30 years old. It was a cheapo scope back then. Dad didn't want to spend a lot of money on it because he knew it'd probably have to be replaced fairly often due to the beating...

RE: Tough decision to make

Yeah. Ya know what, you're right. I know all the stories behind all those scratches and dings because my Dad is the one who put them there. That's the thing. I'm still thinking of this as HIS gun. In...

RE: Tough decision to make

I think you misunderstood my intention here. I don't want to replace the rifle. I'm not upset that it has a few scratches and dings. I just want to keep the rifle is as close to the same condition as...

RE: Spotting scope info!!!??? PLEASE HELP

I recently bought a Leupold Wind River green ring 15-45x60 scope and I love it. I gets very mixed reviews though. It's one of those love it or hate it products. I loved it, so I bought it. I paid...

RE: 25-06

I sure would hate to lug around a .375 H&H or .416 Rigby while chasing elk in the Rockies! I was considering a .338mag at one time, but I don't want to lug that around either. I know you can get a...

RE: Tough decision to make

Cool. I figure for the price it's just tough to pass up. As long as the bases and rings are decent, swapping out the scope wouldn't be that big of a deal. I could just throw the Nikko-Stirling on...

Tough decision to make

Alright, here's my situation:

My Dad gave me his 1972 Remington Model 700 .308 right before I moved to Colorado a few months ago. I've taken the rifle to a gunsmith and it checks out in great...

RE: Colorado elk hunt ?

I wasn't even paying attention when he said he was bow hunting. Ouch. That's going to be VERY tough. I definitely agree with the decision to go regardless though. The money on the tags is probably...

RE: What grain bullet

There's some 220gr. Core-Lokts out there. Those would be nice, but I've heard some '06s don't shoot the 220s well. In that case, a good bonded 180gr will work as well. The best shot placement is the...

RE: Colorado elk hunt ?

Ah heck, I say go for it! But, plan on it being more of a backpacking/camping trip than an actual hunt. Take your rifles in case you get lucky, but at this point, that's really what you're counting...

RE: do it yourself bear hunt

The job market in Hickory is really hurting too. Not as bad as Morganton, but it's still hurting. I'm not sure what you do professionally, but as far as jobs go, the best bet by far in western NC is...

RE: do it yourself bear hunt

Morganton is pretty nice place and was a great place to grow up. You're basically sitting in a bowl of mountains surrounded by mountains on three sides. You have the South Mountains to the south, the...

RE: do it yourself bear hunt

No problem, man. If anything, this year would be a tougher year than most considering how dry it hasbeen. When food gets scarce, they REALLY roam! They normally stay in the mountain, but when times...

RE: do it yourself bear hunt

It's going to be very, very tough and I'd put your odds of success in the low single digits. Being from western NC, I can tell you first hand that you're hunting an animal of relatively few numbers...
