HUNTING WITH THE 35s

My son and I stopped hunting moose north of Thunder Bay long enough for this quick photo. He uses a Marlin lever in 356 (slung over his back) and a 22 loaded for grouse with quiet Remington CBee's. I even got the hood ornament of my old car in this pic! Hey son - when do I get a gun?

....Hey son...good head shot! It's grouse for dinner!

How Big is that doggy in the window?

Do you really need a ".777 Critter Crusher" in your gun cabinet? Maybe you do. How big is that critter - really???

OPTIMUM GAME WEIGHT

Check out Big Game Info's page dealing a little more fully with the topic of "Optimum Game Weight" (OGW). I got the chart reproduced above from there.

Please check back.
