Looked in the big game brochure and didn't see a direct answer, so I am engaging the brain trust:
I have a 3rd season deer tag in a unit that also offers OTC elk tags. Can I hunt the deer tag and if successful early then go to town an buy an elk tag for the balance of the trip?
I understand...
Got drawn for 3rd rifle and I have local intel on where some good bucks are hanging out. Hope to get a wall hanger this year and then spend the next decade focused on a good elk.
Some hate recoil but want big calibers, some want big calibers but hate the extra noise. Live and let live guys.
FTR, I use a brake on most all of my rifles, but I NEVER fire a shot without ear pro in, and I always consider where I am in reference to other shooters both in the field and on...
With regards to the pigs. It was tough. At the same time the coyotes were barking below me, I had 2 sows and a half dozen piglets 100 yards in front of me. No corn feeder, just rooting the pasture. In the end, I felt like a dead dog would help the deer more than a dead pig. But it was definitely...
So I’m hunting our family land in Louisiana in late October. I’m on a hanging stand about 20 feet up hunting a small clearing about 50 yards by 50 yards.
This particular day happens to be the Saturday of youth gun season and as an added bonus if you are a resident veteran you can gun hunt...
Buddy of mine has some pasture land he lets me hunt on occasionally. His brother runs cows on the place and recently changed the gate lock. Confirmed with land owner I was GTG but he said you’ll have have to walk in because I don’t know the new combo. No problem, probably won’t see much anyway...
15 years ago, I found steal on a cabelas canvas wall tent at a garage sale. It was a couple of years old and had only been used a few times. Took it on a New Mexico mule deer hunt that year (2002), and it has been in storage ever since. Got it out today to set up and inspect because I plan...
Ive got the X Bolt Western Hunter edition in 300WM. I have only shot it with the brake on so far, so I don't have a comparison, but I will say that shooting off a bipod with rear bags it wasn't that bad. I am not recoil sensitive, but I don't care for it. I have a Winchester model 70...
I'm looking at a pair on eBay, and since I can't swap them out if they don't fit, I need to be careful on getting the right size. I'm a 9.5 in alot of shoes but tend to be a 10 in boots. How true to size do they run? I know I I'll be wearing thicker socks.
Thoughts?
This is more of a vent than anything (honesty is my strong suit). I already know the tried and true advice not to push him into the outdoors, make him miserable, etc.
My son is 9. At his age, every stick I picked up was a gun. Every movie I was interested in had guns. When dad left to go...
I applied for an elk point and a deer point this year and have only been refunded the deer portion. Is there normally a delay in the Elk point refund? First time to buy an elk point.
Thanks!
