We have been trying to trap a raccoon for the past 2 weeks... initially we had set up the trap incorrectly in a way that it would close the door but not lock it. So the raccoon would go eat its bait and back out of the trap. Well, we finally realized that there is a way to set it up that it would not be able to back out of it. So now that I set it up with all its treats in the back of the trap, the guy walks in - but not far enough to set the trap. I check the 2 traps and both of them are empty of treats - and NO raccoon! The place it is supposed to step on is near the back, so I assume he goes just far enough to not step on it anymore, graps the food in the back and backs out WITHOUT setting the trap door! I hear they're smart and it may have learned over the week that we set it without the lockign mechanism that it shouldn't go that far. My question is NOW WHAT??

I'm interested in opinions on accuracy and stopping power comparring these 2... Been using Remington 180gr core-lkt soft points for years, no complaints, but was really impressed with the accuracy of the silver tips - I may have just had a great day at the range, but I'm not so sure.......

I was thinking about buying a .243 for my son on his graduation and was wondering if it is powerful enough to kill some deer and wild pigs.

The squirrels in my backyard suck up the bird seed in the bird feeders so I think they should also suck up some lead pellets before I throw 'em on my parents stainless steel grill! So what are some powerful pellet gun rifles and pistols that I can purchase that arn't above $300.

And if you know of any gun-replica pellet gun pistols or rifles that are good then you get extra brownie points!

Why can't you use pointed pellets in a semi auto pellet gun? Can you use hallow point or ultra magnum pellets in a semi auto?

I went to the range today...Shot at a man sized silhoutte target and most of my shots were low...hitting the stomach\groin area rather than center mass. Then when I tried with a smaller circular target I fired 10 rounds and didnt hit the target once. What was I doing wrong? Maybe it has something to do with how I tend to hunch forward and slouch sometimes?

We seem to be getting more than our fair share of offball questions posed by Anti-hunters. I for one consider them internet trolls and try to ignore them. Is there any good reason to answer them or does that just encourage them?

It seems that the 30.06 is indeed America's favorite caliber for hunting. I must admitt that its an excellent round that has stood the test of time. What I cant agree on is why anyone thinks that its a great gun for hunting the world. I have heard some say they would use a 30.06 for small game hunting all the way up to recently, the 30.06 will take elephant and even a T-Rex if ofcourse we could find one.

The .30-06 is not perfect. For specialized long-range work, the 7mm magnums are slightly better - and the .300 magnums significantly better. For me, the .30-06 makes a sensible minimum for elk, but I prefer cartridges on the order of .338 Winchester Magnum for such work. The .30-06 is not a dangerous-game cartridge. It is fine for leopard, and okay in a pinch on undisturbed lion, grizzly and brown bear - but it is not a charge-stopper. And it is certainly not suitable for buffalo, rhino or elephant, despite the fact that it has been used for such.

Do you agree ? Give your reason
