Ten days down and no updates or estimates of when the site will get back up. The old "Two Weeks" answer my be applicable. For you newbies, two weeks is an indeterminate time.

Four Gobblers and two hens in the pasture right now. My neighbor just shot a big Tom about 200 yards from these guys this morning.

100yrd to 700yrd depending on where I go
Replying to a sixteen year old thread with the last post eight years ago.
I now go to my private shooting range located on my hill, past my pond but I've only got 200 yards up there.

Called this guy and another Tom in from about 1/4 mile away this morning. He came in hot to my decoy and strutted up about 30 yards from me, so I let him have a load of hevi-shot. He started the flop and the other Tom ran over to investigate him. The other Tom had two beards so I regret being so quick to take this guy.

Outdoors, Hunting and Fishing / Sighting in the turkey gun and bucks in velvet starting to show
« on: April 22, 2024, 03:57:34 PM »
I bought some Hevi-shot (Tungsten) and a new Primos Jellyhead choke tube and just sighted in the shotgun.
This load hits a full foot higher and a foot to the right of my lead load and recoils a lot heavier. Multiple targets showed over 200 pellets in a 10" circle and more than a half a dozen lethal hits in a life sized turkey head/neck target
Also, it costs me near $10 a shot with tax and shipping.
I also checked the game cameras and the bucks starting to show new antlers.

Why not put a message on the .net page to tell people that Calguns.org is the alternate site when the .net is down?

I usually shoot on a private range on a friend's cattle ranch. I went yesterday to test some 375 H&H loads and cleared some tall sagebrush so I can now shoot from the 300 and 400 yard lines.

It is, the rains came in that evening or else we would have spent the next day shooting them. We had about 20 guns in the cabin ready to shoot all day but the weather got us.

It didn't think to run away when a bullet hit nearby?
Contrary to popular opinion, animals don't know what bullets are. All it heard was the sonic crack and it wasn't scared of that.

Outdoors, Hunting and Fishing / Long distance goat
« on: November 24, 2015, 08:38:14 PM »
The first hunting post in about 6 years.
While I was in New Zealand last week, some of the guys were shooting at goats across the canyon. The white spot in the middle of the photo below is a cliff face at 882 meters (946 yards).
This is a white goat next to the cliff face at 58X magnification. Unfortunately when it was hit it rolled down behind the trees to the left, so I didn't get a good after shot photo.
It was hit with a suppressed 308 Win and the 175 grain Lapua Scenar.
