Mossy Oak teams up with Starcraft to develop a hunter’s dream home away from home.

There’s no shortage of options out there when it comes to hunting rigs. Accommodations range from a single-person tent to some of the most extreme recreational vehicles on the planet. One of these vehicles is the 2019 Mossy Oak Starcraft camper trailers.

Available in 18 different floor plans, these campers definitely hit their target. Starcraft and Mossy Oak combine for over 90 years of service to the recreational and outdoor industries. It makes sense for the two brands to partner up and offer a unique lineup of camper trailers. The Starcraft RVs are a nearly ideal blend of modern RV luxury and the outdoors.

“It’s great to see two brands with a shared vision to get people outside and enjoying creation,” said Toxey Haas, founder and CEO of Mossy Oak. “Starcraft is a legendary brand in the outdoor recreation world and we are incredibly grateful to be a part of this exciting partnership.”

We now know what to look for when our family asks to upgrade to a new camper. Don’t let the rugged outdoors vibe throw you, though. With luxurious leather and a drove of other modern amenities, these trailers will meet everyone’s standards.

Trim and accessory options are virtually endless, but really, what’s not to love about the camo pillows?

Landing a big alligator gar doesn’t get much easier than this.

These alligator gar seem to have stacked up like cord wood due to some flooding. While getting close to these big gar will be easy, he’ll have to get pretty close to get them with a spear.

Will he even be able to sink his spear into the armored hide of a big alligator gar? Watch and find out!

How could he miss! Lol

That big fish will fill his freezer for sure, but it’s probably not the 7-footer he claimed it was. While this is a legal size for gar, in many places, the legal bag limit is now one fish.

Spearfishing for gar is common in Texas and other southern states. Make sure to check your local regulations for dates, seasons and limits.

Would you ever try spearfishing for an alligator gar?

Video: How Many Cans of Spray Paint Will a Shotgun Shoot Through?

June 13, 2018 By freaknadmin Leave a Comment

http://www.wideopenspaces.com/watch-how-many-cans-of-spray-paint-will-a-shotgun-shoot-through/

Now this is an awesome experiment.

You probably never asked yourself this question before. But thanks to the internet, we now know the answer. These YouTubers decided to try this redneck experiment by shooting 10 cans with a standard shotgun slug.

The results are spectacular!

If you had down six cans of spray paint as the magic number, it looks like you win!

We see a lot of unique shooting experiment videos here at Wide Open Spaces. Some of them answer practical questions and others are ridiculous and clearly just for fun.

That being said, and the dangers of this experiment aside, this was one of the coolest-looking and most colorful shooting tests we’ve ever seen!

6 Tips for Buying a New Hunting Handgun

June 13, 2018 By freaknadmin Leave a Comment

http://www.wideopenspaces.com/6-tips-for-buying-a-new-hunting-handgun/

The right handgun can be a surprisingly effective choice for hunting.

If you choose the wrong handgun, however, you’ll be wasting your time in the woods.

These six tips will help make the decision process a little easier.

What kind of game will you be hunting?

Obviously, bigger animals are going to require bigger bullets, so you need to make sure you’re hitting the woods with enough power. If you’re hunting bigger game, you shouldn’t be using anything smaller than a .357 Magnum. You don’t want to overdo it on smaller animals, though, as you’ll damage a lot of the meat. Start with .22 LR if you’re hunting squirrels or rabbits, and adjust accordingly to the game you’re chasing.

Revolver or semi-automatic?

Revolvers are simple in operation, and semi-automatics generally allow higher capacity and quicker shots. If you’re hunting big game, you could go with something like a Glock Pistol in 10mm or a lower-capacity .500 S&W Magnum revolver. It really comes down to preference. You could even look into single-shot, bolt-action and lever-action handguns, but those options generally require a little more research. Ultimately, your new gun should fit you and your style of hunting.

How much accuracy do you need?

Longer barrels equal higher velocities and usually better accuracy. You really have to ask yourself one question: how much barrel do you want to carry around with you? At close range, 6-8 inches is what I personally prefer.

Scope or no scope?

Some handguns have integral scope mounts you can attach a handgun scope to. When you start adding a scope, though, you increase bulk and weight. When you look through, you’ll see your hand wobble more than before. You can, however, always get yourself a good set of cross sticks or some other kind of support for long-range shooting.

What are you willing to pay?

It pays to shop around and check individual handgun reviews. Talk with seasoned handgun hunters on what they use. Don’t get sucked into the “more is better” trap, as the price really matters when shopping the local gun store. Gun buying shouldn’t mean taking out a bank loan.

How much recoil can you handle?

When Dirty Harry made the .44 Magnum famous, everyone wanted one. But, many later showed up on the used-gun market when new shooters realized how much kick they had. Calibers such as .500 S&W Magnum and .460 S&W Magnum boast even more recoil and power. So, stick with what you can handle.

DIY Sportsman | All Things Archery

June 13, 2018 By freaknadmin Leave a Comment

Posted from: https://audio.simplecast.com/6a6b49d7.mp3

This podcast is sort of a campfire style discussion about archery setups between Garrett and Bobby. It starts with equipment and styles that they’re using, especially with the upcoming turkey season. They discuss shooting with opposite handed bows, using Quivalizer style setups, peep eliminator systems, vanes and feathers, broadheads, limbs, tabs, targets, and other miscellaneous items that are either new or noteworthy.

The discussion also turns into a debate of archery theory. Is is better to follow a strict shot process from the moment you nock an arrow, or mentally hit the reset button as soon as you’re at full draw? Does high FOC benefit a compound bow shooter? Are arrow spine calculators actually accurate? Are two blade broadheads always superior? Is it better to adjust your arrow weight to your eye’s “natural” trajectory or choose a setup based on ideal numbers and make it work?

Best Chainsaws For Hunters

June 13, 2018 By freaknadmin Leave a Comment

Posted from: http://bigdeerblog.com/?p=5504

From now until stand-hanging time in September a lot of people will be out working their deer hunting property, clearing trails, taking out trash trees to let in more sunlight, etc.

What’s the best saw for the job? Illinois land management expert Matt Cheever says:

I prefer Echo, Stihl and Husqvarna in that order. Echo has the longest warranty and best power to weight ratio (it’s all I currently own). Stihl has always made a good saw, and a “Husky” is built like a tank, but seems to have a longer power stroke so you have to run them wide open all the time for best performance. All 3 are solid choices. Buy a saw in the 40-45 cc range with an 18” bar and it will meet 95% of your land-management needs. A quality saw will last about 25 years of hard use.

What chainsaw do you use and swear by?
