Long shot wishing elk 0 point reg random in a decent unit. Been holding deer points so this fall is primarily focused on a lower end deer unit and cow elk combo. I pray that plan gets blown up when AK draws come out but not gonna hold my breath.
About 4 miles a day if it’s “easy”walking. Shot one this year 700 yards from the camp and truck. My buddy shot one 2 miles straight line from the truck. He likes to walk and I like to glass and wait. I don’t think I want to pack one more than 2 miles.
I like to ratchet strap a rem 1100 to something solid. Run a string to my sleeping area, put the string around the trigger and then give it a good yank every time I hear rustling.
I have a heater buddy that I “acquired” in 2014 that was used so probably a 2012-2013 product. I have burned hundreds of propane cylinders through this thing ice fishing and on hunting trips. It has its original manual spark igniter. It also launched out of my truck and bounced across the...
I can already hear the rugged independent rancher/outfitter crying about needing the government agency to shift the system when this doesn’t have their desired result.
Somehow this thread is still alive even after I forgot about it. After retorquing rings to new specs I have shot a few groups with different bullets and powders and my zero didn’t change from what you would expect different loads to do and my slippage/torque stripes are still lined up. It Seems...
They were going to take a bow during gun a few years ago and I talked them into taking my rifle instead. The person is 100% on deer with a rifle. A rifle with low powered scope should the the weapon of choice for the majority of the population.
I was serious about bow hunting for years. Shot everyday and limited my shots to sub 45 yards. I still lost animals. Probably around 10% loss rate over 2 decades due to inexperience as a kid and I was picky about shots. I know people who are in the 50+% loss rate, probably closer to 80% and have...
What a fu$&ing douche. I ranged an opening down a valley at 1100 yards a few weeks ago on an elk hunt. I thought how would you even find that spot after shooting an elk in it? I wonder how many these dipshits hit and never find.
