      Do You Field Dress Your Deer Kill or Haul It Back to Camp?

      I saw this question on another forum, but most of the comments were from the far West or the deep South. It made be wonder what is typical in Indiana. I am still only a wanna be when it comes to deer hunting, but as I hope to get in the game next season I have already started the learning...

      Where can I use .30-06?

      The question: Where in Indiana can I hunt with .30-06 ammunition? To the best of my understanding of Indiana's hunting regulation, there is currently no place where I can use that caliber while hunting in Indiana. So, is there anywhere nearby where I could hunt with that caliber? I undersand...

      Can a Tennessee Resident Legally Purchase a Long Gun in Indiana?

      My brother resides in Tennessee. During a recent visit to Fort Wayne he mentioned he needed to purchase a pellet gun to shoot the rabbits who were playing havoc on his vegetable garden back home. I suggested that he would do better with a Savage 62/64F as they were currently selling for $99 at...

      Opinions on Mossberg Patriot, Ruger American, Savage Axis

      I am considering purchasing an entry-level bolt-action rifle for a camping/hunting trip out west or up north in late 2019 (probably after July). The viable options seem to be the Mossberg Patriot, Ruger American, and Savage Axis. I tend to be a traditionalist, preferring traditional rifles like...

      Donnelley Supports the Second Amendment, Sort of . . .

      I sent a form email message to Senator Joe Donnelly, urging him to oppose the current anti-gun movement that demands the ban of "assault rifles" and the closure of "loopholes" in gun acquisition procedures. Today I received this electronic reply. His reply was encouraging in some ways, but...

      I am looking for a factory 10/22 receiver. I have all the other parts to put together a frankenstein 10/22.

      I bet he did not have a holster!

      Former Indianapolis Colts running back Zurlon Tipton accidentally shot and killed himself. Just a reminder, folks, to use a proper holster—always. Not a good idea to carry it without a holster in a duffle bag. NFL Player Accidentally Killed Himself

      Wild Boar Spot and Stalk: With or Without a Scope?

      I would appreciate the insights of the experienced boar hunters on the forum about the use of a scope while stalking. I have two questions. 1. What do you hog hunting experts do? Do you carry iron sights when you spot and stalk or do you use your scope? 2. What is your reasoning for your choice?

      New I.O. AK-47 Reviewed

      I know, I.O. AK-47s "suck" and so does their customer service. I read through several of the threads on here. I got it. However, a recent On Target Magazine published a review of I.O.'s new product. The article states that the owner listened to the feedback, dumped the old factory and...

      Question: Is Marlin Model 60 Worth the Higher Price over Marlin Model 795?

      Just curious. Wondering what INGO thinks about the difference between these two Marlin rifles. The 60 generally seems to cost more. Is it worth the extra cash? So, two questions: 1. If you were purchasing another Marlin rimfire semi-auto, which would you purchase and why, 60 or 795? 2. Are...

      Best Brass Option for Non-Reloaders?

      I do not reload. It requires a precision, detail orientation, and competence that is beyond me. Just not something I want to do. So what do I do with my brass?

      Blow-back vs. locked breech: Is one inherently better?

      Colt Mustang .380: Do you carry it cocked and locked?

      What condition is preferred for safe and ready carry of the Colt Mustang .380? It is a 1911 style, but does have some differences from the standard model.
