For some reason Ive been terrible about taking pics this year.
Anyways,thought I would at least post one.
We have made only like 3 hunts. Scored 0, 5 and 13.
The day we got zero was opening day and we were in the flight path but other hunters about 300 yds away were 1st in line. They scored...
Buddy of mine called me a week or so ago and asked me if I was legally able to go help protect a friends farm.
I said yes as long as he gives me written permission, with a reason why I was hunting out of season.
He told me the coyotes have killed 3 of his baby goats in the last 2 weeks.
I got...
Buddy just text me and told me the Firing Pin is burning to the ground. I could take 5 mins and go see how bad it is but I will drive by it tonight on the way to yote hunt,,, I will check it out then.

Basspro Shop has the X24 Foxpro on sale for $100 less than normal. For those of you who want a good electronic caller for predator hunting.
Foxpro is the only unit you can put MFK sounds on (Made For Killing)
For those Looking For A Custom Carbon Fiber Barrel, X-Caliber has a Halloween special. They normally only discount 10% but this time its 20%.
This is the company that made my Carbon Fiber 204 barrel in the length I wanted and the twist. Barrel has excellent accuracy and fires all 20 caliber...
Im running low on 8208 and was wondering if anybody had any that they would trade for Benchmark or Varget.
The Varget would have to be weighed because it would come out of a 8lb container. The Benchmark I have 4 brand new 1lb containers.
I live in Churchville, NY
2 Weeks away till the season starts and Im getting slightly excited seeing how we have caught a couple black ones on trail cams.
The family packs are really starting to get loud around here,,,, so let the shooting begin !!!! In 2 weeks of course...
Over the 15 years that Ive had a 204 this has never even came close to happening. Though It did last night.
Every time I go chuck hunting I carry a chest bag with my bino's and rangefinder in it. This bag has 2 side pockets where I carry a few extra rounds that I might need besides the ones in...
For those of us who like 20 calibers, I'm building another upper.
Decided to go with the same caliber as my other 20cal and make another .204 Ruger.
I started off purchasing a new barrel from X-Caliber. Its the 18" carbon fiber barrel. It is the HBAR-LITE contour. Rifle gas system. 1-11 twist...
I just watched a video on facebook of the owner of The Firing Pin in Bergen NY.
He said today was the last day to buy a lower receiver in NY.
Senate Bill S9456 goes into affect tomorrow.
Did I miss threads on this forum where you guys were talking about it?
Every year I go to the same property I call Woodchuck Paradise.
Some years woodchuck paradise can be called No Mans Land. Either they don't mow the grass out there or mama didn't have her babies.
I've gone out there and shot 20 of them in an hour and ran out of ammo because I didn't think I...
Im sure there isnt many of us but I believe I know a couple that use 20 cal and they both predator hunt. Shoots100 and Tisto.
I know Shoots100 reloads but not sure of Tisto.
Anyways,, This weekend I had the need for speed, so I loaded up some 26gr Barnes Varmint Grenades using IMR XBR8208.
I...
So it begins. Went out tonight, just got home and downloading the video.
Buddy and I called in 3 coyotes and shot 2 of them. Could of shot all 3, I ran out of ammo and his gun jammed. The 3rd coyote didnt even really take off. We were bitching and moaning and dropping ammo trying to load, all...
Not a big deal, just thought I would share.
During daylight hours, all before 745am I saw a racoon, a fox, 4 deer and a rabid squirrel that I thought it was looking to attack me. It was sitting there in the tree looking at me and growling. I made noises to try and scare it away and even growled...

For years my deer hunting partner and I wish we could talk to each other while in our separate stands. We didnt want to use walkie talkies because of the obvious noise they create. We never did much research into it until my other buddy and I went to one of the neighbors farm who was complaining...
My buddy and I are both new to thermals and he is pretty excited about night hunting after I killed a yote a couple of yards behind his house.
So we are at the planning stages for this years Bobcat season.
Anyways, I got elected to find a place to hunt Bobcat and a place to stay while we are...
For those of you who want to get into predator hunting, this is a good and cheap way to start. I was going to keep the scanning light just for walking through the field but I bought them as a set so I will sell them as a set. The only thing not included is the charger for the batteries. I cant...
So its been less than a year since I started purchasing night time predator hunting tools after years of hunting them with red lights.
I started out with a Night Vision Sightmark 320RT monocular and a NV Sightmark Photon RT scope. These both worked well for me, especially the scope because I...

I want to ship USPS Priority flat rate box. Do I just stick them in there and ship? They arent being put on a plane. Shipping distance is Rochester to Buffalo.

Not many birds flew in but we shot 10 and had some good fun even know I was seriously over tired.
To me 50 years old doesn't seem that old until you hunt with a few guys in their 20's. Long walk in the field to get out to the blind and I dont feel like Im walking slow,,,even know they are 10yds...
Not the first sighting in Churchville but the first in almost my backyard. Could of been in my backyard, he was heading in the direction like he came from my backyard but my backyard video camera's autofocus was messed up because of a spider web. This was spotted off my neighbors doorbell cam...
78 months is more than I thought he would get,,,,which I thought would be 0

Pulsar Core RXQ30V
These are my initial thoughts after buying a bottom line thermal with a decent sensor.
I right off the bat started comparing it to my Pulsar AXION 30 Mono. The mono has more settings and just as good of a sensor.
The mono you can change through 5 or 6 different hot colors...
As a bunch of you know I just purchased this Mono, did a review on it and posted a couple of videos. I ended up loving it but my buddy brought over a thermal mono for me to try and I loved it even more. There really isnt any comparison between Night Vision and Thermal. They both have pluses over...
Helping a buddy build an AR10 6.5 creedmoor. So far we have minimal parts. We have a Aero Precision upper and lower receiver and a 20 Inch BSF barrel. Looking for a lightweight bolt carrier group,,,,,any suggestions?
I haven't tried them yet so can't give you my personal review but they get excellent reviews on the internet. Maybe tomorrow night I can review them if I get the scope mounted and sighted in tomorrow morning. Scope mount is suppose to be delivered to the post office today but it doesn't look...
I recently purchased a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6 Creedmoor. My plan was to use it for long range woodchuck and coyote/fox hunting.
First thing I thought of before I purchased it was the weight of the gun being that it was made for bench rest shooting. I went to the Firing Pin in Bergen, NY...
So I started reloading a few rounds with H4350. 3 at 42gr, 3 at 42.2 and 3 at 42.4. To start off with I measured the length of what my rounds were going to be per how Carlos Hatchcock showed me,,,,which was by measuring my chamber with a Hornady overall length gauge and comparators to see when...
Who does everyone use now that Beikerchs is out of business? Ive tried Running's but they seem to stock very little. I'm looking for H4350 powder. Usually when Brownells or Midway take the hazmat fee off you have to purchase a 150 bucks worth of stuff to get the shipping fee taken off...
The 20 plus years that I have been reloading, I have never reloaded for a Bolt gun. All my sizing dies have always been full length or small base/full length for my killer black rifle machine guns. Now that I just got a bolt gun thats not a rimfire I'm looking at purchasing dies. Should I order...
I personally think I have one of the best places to hunt woodchucks in NY State. Ive hunted this property since I was 5,,,,so that roughly comes to 44 years of woodchuck hunting in Woodchuck Paradise. This year I decided to up my game and try for longer range shots. Previous longest kill was...
Bought this last summer for chuck hunting but now I have it in my head that I want to shoot them long range from a vertical platform (tree stand). So I went out and bought me a Nikon Black 4K rangefinder that can range at a longer distance and give you actual measurements even if ranging from...
I know some for whatever reason dont like to write this stuff online but to me there is no law that prevents these online sellers from selling to NY residents so I'm not sure what some are trying to protect. Ive looked for Federal Speed Shok waterfowl loads in my area,,,which is the Rochester...
Ive been scouting a field all week before I went to work. Only field in Churchville where I saw geese landing everyday. My buddy got permission but told me the guy gives permission to everyone. We decided to setup and camp out in the field. Got there at 9pm Friday night to hunt at 6am Saturday...
Had a hard time with the reviews and spending money for the 2 better options but I lucked out buying this one. It works freaking great, has given me no problems at all and it takes me no time to set it up. Clocked my 204 with 32gr nosler boat tail at 3850fps coming out of a 20 inch barrel...
Do you know the twist rate?
Do you reload?
Do you end up with a few cracked case necks?
What powder do you use?
What bullet do you use?
What cases do you reload?
I have a AR 204 that I built with a 20" Lilja barrel, Geissele SSA-e trigger and a adjustable Odin gas block,,,plus a heavy...
Havent gone out to Woodchuck paradise more than like 3 times this year. Ive been out there and shot 20 of them in an hour and always get 2 or 3 every time I go out. Last night I walked around for about 15 mins and saw nothing. I'm like wtf,,,,,,,,,,,then every time I shot one I would see another...
So I go to the farm to use my new foldable gun bench I recently got off amazon for 95 bucks. I love it,,,so worth what I paid. Unfolded the bench, set it up and began testing new reloads and checked to see if the scope was sighted in after pulling mount and scope out of closet and snapped it on...

12 years old I won the Genesee County trap shooting competition through the Bergen Rod and Gun Club,,,never a member. Ive never been a member of any gun clubs so instead of asking a friend to take me to the range I would go out and shoot on all the property I have permission to be on. Well thats...
Bought this off Amazon for 69 bucks. Best sharpener Ive ever used. Sharpened every knife in my house in about a half hour,,,,thats including the butcher block setup I have and all steak knives. Works absolutely awesome. No more bullshit tedious sharpeners for me.
Work Sharp Original Knife and...
Not sure if Ive ever seen one before but I thought seeing it was cool as hell. Its called a Snowy Owl,,,looked it up on wikipedia. It let us get within 10yds of it so I could take a picture with my mobile. Did not try to get any closer, as we were already scared, we were going to scare it away.
Geissele Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E) Trigger- 05-160
Have 2 of them,,,,this is what I paid on Black Friday last year,,,,,,paid 240 or something like that for the first one 5 or 6 years ago
