Drew the same unit as @The Hedgehog last year with only 4 points/.1% odds. Good luck to everyone with their name in the hat in Utah, somebody has to draw
Such an awesome thread about Kurt’s hunt! I’m not super active here on Hunttalk, but I was the one other non resident that drew the random tag on the unit. I had an Alaska moose hunt scheduled for this September, so on my application this spring I decided to apply for the Beaver because I...
I would measure the chamber, I have a Savage model 10 that the chamber was to short for even factory loads. It wasn't to the extreme like you're having where they bolt would lock shut, but before I figured out what was going on I remember it would be pretty sticky to open and eject the case.
Agree with everyone else that this was a great podcast that gave me a good amount of laughs listening to it. Randy, any chance your wife would come on and do a follow up podcast about marital advice after being married to you for 30 years? I know you have said many times that she will not be on...
Do you have a sporting goods store near you that would price match an online store? I just bought a 1300 at Scheels for $224, they had it on the shelf for $350. They price matched optics planet which has them on sale right now plus a 10% coupon added to my cart. Another option would be getting...
My Senators voted for it in the Senate, and I sent them both an email thanking them for their vote. Unfortunately my representative for my district (Hagedorn) voted against it in the house. I sent him an email voicing my disappointment, and also told him it would probably do him a lot of good to...
I've been tossing around the idea of buying a Canvas Cutter bedroll and throwing it on my camp cot this year for antelope hunting. I figure I could stay really mobile with that set up, and just toss it out and sleep where ever I end up at the end of the day. Definitely not all the comforts of a...
I'm planning on archery hunting mule deer in southeast Montana and possibly western South Dakota this year. Since I'll be archery hunting in early September, there will be a good chance if I'm successful that the buck will still be in velvet. I've never personally taken a buck in velvet so I was...
Do you have Facebook? I joined the "optics buy sell trade" page and there are some Vortex dealers on there. I have messaged 2 of the guys that I have seen advertise on there regularly on what their prices are, and have been pretty impressed on the prices they have quoted me. Just another option...
If you have enough time and you're hunting antelope in an area that also holds some deer, I'd say get the deer tag also. Never know when you could be out looking for an antelope and stumble across a good deer that you'd like to shoot
I was able to find the 2018 season dates after some more looking. Thank you for bringing this to my attention that they opened the deer season up a few weeks earlier this year. Not sure how I missed that

Thanks for the link! Enjoyed both write ups and all the pictures. I'm thinking I'll take your advice and pick up an immature buck decoy. Worst case scenario is it doesn't work and I leave it in the truck. Best case scenario is a buck comes within 10 feet like you had happen, that had to be a...
