Question: After I clean my rifle, it takes about 3 shots for it to settle in. Does leaving a small amount of oil (Rem oil) from the last patch in the barrel cause the gun to string shots? Should I dry patch as the last step?
–stex25-06 Answer: I always run a dry patch or two down the bore after oiling it to remove excess residue, which can certainly cause a point of impact shift. But you're also touching on another topic near and dear to my heart, which is the benefit of keeping a shooting log. Some rifles require a certain number of foulers before they settle into a sweet spot with their accuracy. The only way to figure that out is to keep a log of your shooting and look for trends.

Question: So today my mom grounded me because apparently I'm too obsessed with hunting and need to focus on other things like school work. The funny thing is my lowest grade in school is an 89. She thinks all I worry about is hunting. Even though I love hunting, I do have a life beside it but apparently I'm not supposed to do what I love. Your thoughts??
-erict8** Answer:** Future tip: Pick your college classes carefully so you can maximize your hunting and fishing time, and do all the homework beforehand if you can so you don't have to cut class once or twice a week to hunt mornings.

Question: Can deer smell the difference between human urine and there own?
–Marcus Answer: I've heard many pro and cons from old timers, some who even add human urine to a scrape. The two keys to this would be association of danger, and personal diet. If nine deer are OK with you wetting your stand, so be it. Number 10 may make the connection, and be the boomer you've been waiting for. The other is, deer don't drink beer, etc., so I believe if you have a way to contain urine, why take the chance? Think like the predator you are.
