re: 300 PRC, anyone have one?? What glass did you mount?
Posted by Bigsampson on 4/29/24 at 8:35 pm
Some good glass and a little practice and 500 yards is not a big deal.
A good gun obviously being a big part of the equation. ...

Pond?
I’ve got these crazy ducks hitting my deer feeders.
Goofy looking as all get out when about 20 of those are bopping around, eating corn, and just getting fat. Ponds are hundreds of yards away. ...
re: Baby Racoons

I raised some as a kid. Males go feral after about a year. Females may stay tame, but generally go feral after two years.
Someone gave me a female about 15 years ago. Brought it to a vet to check out. He warned me about a worm that they can carry. Can be infected by bare feet and fecal matter or...

A lot depends on the size of your field.
We have better luck w Maximillian and black oil varieties. Smaller heads by nature.
We don’t disc or roundup. Plants are mostly dead by August around here anyway.
Small field, shred the center and leave the edges.
Big field, cut lanes and patc...

re: 300Blackout For Deer Hunting
Posted by Bigsampson on 1/11/24 at 1:49 pm
Works fine.
As someone pointed out, similar ballistics to a 30-30.
I have one set up in a contender w an 8 inch barrel. Another in an AR platform.
My kids used the AR quite a bit when they were younger and I used the pistol several times too.
All told, prob 13 or 14 deer w it.
All shots wi...
re: Furthest distance to tow a boat
Posted by Bigsampson on 12/17/23 at 6:17 pm
Quite a while ago I pulled a 28 foot cuddy from San Diego to Nola, few years later pulled it to Norfolk.
Wasn’t too heavy. Tandem axel.
About 15 years ago I pulled a very heavy 32 foot cuddy from Nola to Chesapeake, va. Two years later back.
Another very heavy duty triple axel trailer.
I nev...
re: Ever try spartan mosquito tubes?

Complete junk.
Tried them in Fort Worth.
No effect.
Tried them in other places. Useless.

re: Light for tracking blood at night
Posted by Bigsampson on 12/9/23 at 4:05 pm
Pure black lights don’t work on fresh blood at all. Scorpions, millipedes and dog piss in your house will glow like crazy, but not fresh blood.
If you have what you think is a well house broken dog and have access to a black light, take the black light and go through your house one night. Little s...
re: Feeders VS Plots
Posted by Bigsampson on 12/9/23 at 3:58 pm
I’m over in west central Texas.
Plots are very dependent on rain. Sometimes they don’t come up at all. Where we are, there is more grasses and browse than you might think. We don’t have any mash, but lots for them to eat.
What we generally do is 1/4 to 1 acre plots w feeders in an opposite corne...
re: 9 year old son. Right handed, left eye dominant.
Posted by Bigsampson on 12/3/23 at 11:02 am
Teach him to shoot w both eyes open.
A temporary eye patch will help the transition.
I have the same story. Right handed left eye dominant.
Thank goodness I had an uncle who was a very experienced shooter.
Worked with me from a young age, starting w BB guns, to shoot both eyes open.
The al...
re: Drought Effects on Deer Season
Posted by Bigsampson on 11/29/23 at 7:14 pm
We have had two summers of drought here in west Texas.
Pretty bad at times.
I think the super freeze did more damage to the heard 3 years ago than the drought. ...
re: AR failure to feed question
Posted by Bigsampson on 10/16/23 at 6:05 pm
Probably gas system if it’s following uppers.
Gas block May be misaligned, I’ve even seen new barrels where the hole had an obstruction or was poorly drilled. ...
re: Anyone here using a red feeder light for hog hunting?
Posted by Bigsampson on 10/15/23 at 8:58 am
We tried red and green. Green seems to work better.
I know people say the pigs and deer can’t see the light, but that’s bs. I watch the little ones playing and eating corn right under it. The big hogs will stay in the dark at times. I see deer look up at the lights when they come on and off.
The...
re: I have an m&p 15-22. What is needed to shoot mag ammo out of it?

Looks like a regular ar. A few of the parts will interchange, but it will not accept regular ar uppers. ...

This.
3 point quick hitch.

Biggest time saver and knuckel bust reducer.
I don’t have the same brand, but they are all pretty similar.
Once set up, connection is drive up lift up, lock pins, get off tractor and put drive pin in. To adjust, generally just the lift link, shorter o...
re: These may be some of the best accessories for a tractor ever
Posted by Bigsampson on 10/11/23 at 2:19 am
I do. They work ok.
They are solid enough, but don’t work exactly like a fork lift. Takes a little to get used to.
Once set up, pretty easy to use and very handy. ...

Just because the crossbow can shoot 100 yards does not mean you should.
40-45 yards max for me. ...
re: Best officers sized 1911
Posted by Bigsampson on 9/28/23 at 9:09 am
Kimber used to make a good gun.
Notorious for bad quality now.
There are three tiers, generally, for 1911’s.
Tier one is the entry level, you get what you get are the Ria’s, Tisas, etc. usually less than 6 or 700 bucks. It’s a crapshoot. Might get serviceable, might not.
Mid level guns are S...
re: Opinions on Winchester SX4, Remington V3 & Versa Max
Posted by Bigsampson on 9/6/23 at 11:35 am
The versa max I dove hunt with is one of my retired competition guns. Over 10k rounds through it. Only thing I have to change is the mag spring.
Soft shooting and never misses a beat.
I used to have a new model Browning A5 and have a customized Benelli M2. Got rid of the browning, it’s nothing l...
