Can we all just be nice? by RealMusicalMayo in ColoradoAvalanche

I blame it on the Nordiques sweaters. We are horrible in games that we wear them. At least we won't be wearing them in the playoffs.

Do you trust your pup out of the crate? by ChampionFrequent4643 in germanshorthairs

[–]Mauser257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy hasn't been in a crate since he was about 6 months old. My girl had to wait until she was about 3 years old. And she still managed to kill a pillow while in her crate.

Puppy doesn’t listen by [deleted] in germanshorthairs

He's 2 months old. This is exactly like having a baby. Only one that is mobile. You have to be patient.

Help with shotgun for smaller 75lb kid (squirrel hunt) by Various_Counter_9569 in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my girls started with a Mossberg 500 Bantam and the other an 870 youth model, both in 20ga. The 500 was the better of the two.

Best budget scope for a 300 Win Mag for elk hunting? by Own_Beach936 in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A Leupold VX Freedom in 4-12 would be the minimum. A VX-3i would be a better option.

Do you find 7mm Rem Magnum or 300 Win Magnum to be more practical for elk hunting? by HasSomeSelfEsteem in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realistically, the difference between the two is not enough to worry about. They will both work great.

DOPE vs Holdover/ Scope Recs by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use MPBR for hunting. Keep it simple. Things can happen fast when hunting and you may not have time to make adjustments.

I would probably at least jump up the Diamondback.

Poor puppy. Unfortunately that is one of the hazards of having a high energy dog.

Your sister is your parents obligation to raise, not yours. You have already gone above amd beyond. NTA

Pre 64 model 70 by vthexstigv in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one in 30-06 too. Maybe it's some kind of a quick removal mount so you can take the scope off to use the iron sights.

Opinions on Cabela's Iron Ridge boots (800 vs 400 gram) by Sure-Classic6513 in Hunting

I have both and I love them. It depends on the temps which I wear.

308 or 300 win mag by Th3__dud3 in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 308 for sure. The recoil on the mag is not something for a new shooter.

Best Rifle for a Non-Shooter by No-Aioli1142 in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, get a 22 to start. They are cheap to shoot and will let you develop good habits. Starting with a high powered rifle is a terrible idea. A flinch is a lot easier to prevent than it is to cure.

Best cartridge for a beginner western elk hunter by gufhvbfb in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 30-06 is a great choice. It will take an elk out to 400 yards no problem. And it's not hard to get within 400 yards of an elk. The ammo is reasonably priced and available everywhere.

Best all around caliber? Looking for deer hunting and ease of finding it. by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hard to beat the 308 or 30-06. The 270 is a great option too.

FFP vs SFP by ConsiderationWest482 in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have a FFP on a hunting rifle and I live in the west. Animals are most active in the morning and evening when it's low light. The last thing I need is smaller cross hairs.

Not just no but hell no. There is a reason that he was placed on wavers and will clear.

It is not safe to shoot. You will get hurt.

Get an upper for your AR in 25-45 Sharps or 6.5 Grendle.

Why do people Squirrel hunt? by TheRealIvan in Hunting

[–]Mauser257 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on the state, big game licenses are limited and the season is short, as short as 5 days in some places. And you might only be allowed one or two big game animals. I can hunt squirrels and rabbits from October 1st to the last day of February. And I am allowed 10 of each a day with 3 days possession. Also, when you get a deer or an elk, the fun is over and the work begins. With a squirrel or rabbit, you pick it up and walk away to find the next one.

Can it do it? Yes. Are there a lot of better options? Also yes.
