    Dall's Sheep and Mountain Caribou Raffle

    Hey guy. I was the lucky SOB to get drawn. Took me a while to calm down after the phone call. I then had to watch the drawing on Facebook about 10 times to believe it was real. All of my luck has been used up this year. I have the silver state NV desert tag and now this. 2 things happened: 1...

    2024 Nevada Draw Results

    I will share the whole process. Hopefully others can feel like they are along for the ride. Something like this I hope to share with as many people as possible. I've got several buddies that are interested in flying out with me just to share in the experience!

    2024 Nevada Draw Results

    I can hunt any ram in the state between July 1 & Dec 31. Anyone that gets the tag has all the options. I'm going to hire a guide that knows something about sheep to make the most out of this OIL opportunity.

    2024 Nevada Draw Results

    Thanks Fellas. I've narrowed down my choice to a couple of guides. It's a bit of a different game, everyone knows who is guiding the big money auction tags so I either decide to go with one of them and I get any sheep that person passes on or I hire someone and we compete with the big money on a...

    2024 Nevada Draw Results

    My email from NDOW was a little different this time. "NR Silver State Nelson (Desert) Bighorn Sheep Result: Successful" When selecting the silver state options I am fine making the donation every year. Never did I dream I would get the tag. I'm not sure it's fully set in that I'll be sheep...

    Tactacam Film Through Scope (FTS)

    I would recommend it. I like having video of my hunts. I'm happy with it but it's not perfect. My advice is use it at the range and make it so you can view from your phone to get the focus correct. Then shoot a few and watch the video. Make sure you can operate the bolt without issue. I need...

    Tactacam Film Through Scope (FTS)

    I've got one. Just practice with it before you go hunting. I have to put mine at a weird angle to account for bolt movement. Also you have to adjust your parallax to focus the camera, which may differ from your shooting distance. This is a screen grab of a fuzzy video but my scope was crystal...

    Ever get robbed on a hunt or traveling to and from a hunt

    Some awful stories. Sorry some people suck. I trust no one. If we are eating at a restaurant with gear I only eat places I can watch the truck the entire time. If we stop at a store one person always stays with the truck and the rest go in. Even at gas stations. If we stop at a motel the...

    Custer State Park SD Bison Hunt

    I got over 300 pounds and I think it was 350ish but I didn't have it weighed. I flew up there and bought 4 120 qt ice chest to drive it home in. We are still eating on mine and love every bite. I will put in for the hunt again once we finish off this bull. Not sure I could justify the cost of...

    Custer State Park SD Bison Hunt

    Not trying to be argumentative, I'm just relaying what I was told by my guide. Looks like he was off the mark with what he told me. Good info in your post.

    Custer State Park SD Bison Hunt

    I was on the hunt which takes place after they auction off buffalo and they told me the 1000-1200 buffalo were selling for ~$3k which is what they set the hunt price at. I wouldn't be surprised if a private land bull hunt was a similar price.

    Custer State Park SD Bison Hunt

    You can shoot any mature bull. You have a few days to get it done on a mature bull. You can not shoot an immature bull. Your guide will know all the buffalo and aren't going to waste your time taking you to anything other than the mature bulls.

    Custer State Park SD Bison Hunt

    That is not correct. The price is set based on what the bison sell $/lb at roundup. Immature bull is 1000-1200 lbs and the mature bulls are ~2000 lbs. They offer the hunts but can't offer them for less than they can sell the animal for at auction. I'm much more ok with this, the free market is...

    Nilgai

    Go do it. Unique country and you should see a decent number of animals. Wear snake boots. The rattlesnakes suck, especially the ones that don't rattle. Nilgai are tough so make sure you know where to hit it. Guide will go over it with you but look up the anatomy before you go on the hunt...

    HSM Ammo - Bergers

    Funny you posted this. I have a new Christensen Arms Ridgeline and put some HSM 210 Bergers through it this weekend. Gave me about a 6" group at 200 yards while 180gr Accubonds were about 1.5" groups. I know the Ridgeline can be sensitive to seating depth so maybe that is my issue but I'm only...
