Any recommendation for 30.06 ammo
I went all copper years ago and have never looked back. I shoot 200grn TSX bullets at everything from antelope to elk. A high shoulder shot with a 200 grain TSX results in less meat damage Than a 130 grain lead core bullet.- CountingCoo

Proper Meat Care for Antelope
I'm not going to skin an antelope and then let it lay in the sun for 2 hours before getting it in a cooler. I suppose if I could hang a skinned antelope from a tree in the shade I'd be OK but that is obviously an unlikely option. In 40 years of big game hunting I have been involved in the...- CountingCoo

Proper Meat Care for Antelope

Loads for .52 Knight Bighorn- Idaho
I finally managed to draw an antelope tag here in Idaho. My cherished Thompson Center Omega is not legal here, and I just ordered a Knight Bighorn with Western ignition. I was leery about buying a .52 caliber but could not pass up the deal. A Green Mountain barrel and Timney trigger for...- CountingCoo

Wyoming Unit 52-2
My dad and I drew antelope buck tags for unit 52-2. We will be hunting the second week of the season. Was wondering if anyone who has hunted this unit has any info to share. Looks like 2 big blocks of BLM that I'm guessing get hammered. I'm in Idaho and will not be able to scout before we...- CountingCoo
