Definitely not my experience. Can't say how many hundreds of miles I've put on them hunting 20 different states and 6 provinces over the last 20 years. They saved a Stone sheep hunt for me. They sat me in a river halfway up the leather for hours on a brown bear hunt. Ive had nothing but good out...
Used a heavy factory M70 in .270 Win for my Yukon Fannin. Jazzed up a M700 Ti in .270 Win for the next backpack sheep hunt I do. Would love to have a classic O'Connor style M70 in .270 to do the Desert but that and the bighorn will probably end up with a light and rugged all around 300 mag of...
Guys might be a bit less "butt hurt" if you worked on your delivery...your "held hostage" comment was ignorant and you got back just what you gave out.
Arizona has great opportunities for many species common and uncommon. I take advantage of hunting there every chance I get and have been...
I drew an S12 archery tag in 2007. I think I had 3+7 points. I left MI with my wife and two young kids and returned without a ram for the start of school in September. Still the best month of my life. I'd say you have 100% chance of a good hunt if you go DIY and give it your all.
I don't put...
TX--I told my son if he got all A's in High School that I would take him on a bear hunt. My original plan was to go to the place I've bowhunted in Manitoba for years. Well, the way things worked out I had to come up with a new plan and we are renting a 65' cruiser out of Homer. Four other good...
Halo,
Great bull. As usual I am one point behind. What was your weapon of choice? How far was the shot and what happened. I was hoping to do that hunt with my flintlock .54; any idea how the park rangers would feel about that?
Would love to hear more details about the hunt. I know the park...
I told my son when he started high school if he got straight As, I would take him bear hunting. My plan was to take him to the place I bowhunt in Manitoba. With the way everything is working out I've changed gears and we are heading to Alaska. We are taking a 65' boat out of Homer next spring...
You aren't kidding. I was there 8/5-15. I called for a meat haul Suday morning and they could not get to me until Friday. I decided to come out with the meat a couple days early as to not miss the flight home.
I always appreciate when a guy like you, who not only hunts, but gives back is able to take a fine animal after a hard and well planned hunt. Thanks for all you do for the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society. I've had a sheep tag in CO that I was not able to fill, but I am very grateful for that...
