  • Ep. 9 - Best (and Worst) Shot Angles on Big Game
    Nov 26 2024
    Have you ever passed on an animal because you didn't have the right shot angle? It's unlikely that you'll get a broadside opportunity every time. In this episode we talk about: • what you want your shot to achieve • what you're trying to hit on a big game animal • what you're trying to avoid • all the shot angles • when the animal is getting away • shooting steeply up or down • shot placement on bears It all comes down to your skill as a shooter, your weapon, and your load.

    Nov 19 2024

    Sometimes, you just need to pass on the shot. We'll explore a number scenarios and reasons for not pulling the trigger. Topics include:


    • safety
    • target identification
    • shot angle
    • getting steady
    • moving animals
    • stacked animals
    • shooting at the range vs. in the field
    • animal recovery
    • bad conditions
    • when your heart's not in it


    Thinking through these scenarios ahead of time will help prepare you to make the right decision in the heat of the moment.

  • Ep. 7 - The .30-06 for Your First Big Game Rifle?
    Nov 12 2024

    Today I'm talking about a cartridge that's nearly 120 years old but still relevant today: the .30-06. The characteristics of the .30-06 make it perfect for your first big game hunting rifle. That's why I chose it for mine. I discuss:


    • affordable and readily available ammo
    • manageable recoil
    • hunting elk with the .30-06
    • why the .30-06 works well with cup-and-core bullets
    • the .30-06 vs. the .308
    • maximum point blank range
    • bullet weights
    • ammo capacity and feeding
    • other great cartridges for your first big game rifle

    After reviewing the cartridge, I like the .30-06 even more. There's not much it can't do.
