If I had to pick a rifle for just deer hunting and it meant short and long shots. I'd pick a .270. I'm old school and would choose a Win 70 for a rifle and of course a Leupold scope.
Then if you decide to hunt for elk too. The .270 would be fine with a good bullet.
I forgot. I'll add in a new Quake sling too.
It would be a good package for someone think of trying the muzzleloader season. maybe getting you youngster started in muzzleloaders.
Jags, cleaning patches, CVA cleaning tools for breech plug, powder measure. Anything else I have that will work for...
This was an impulse buy and I normally use a Hawken. I bought this gun new from Muzzle-Loaders a month or so ago. I only shot it 3 shots. It's as new as can be. It was a Muzzle-Loader scope package which is mounted and bore sighted scope and gun case. This is the exact gun I bought...
My chances are slim too but they get even slimmer if tags keep getting less of them.
I talked to the DOW about it and they have no clue. What's new huh?
Nobody is concerns that the tag you put in for in the 2nd draw are changing before the draw? Didn't you put in for a unit depending on how many tags were available?
How can the number of tags change in the 2nd draw? I thought those numbers were locked in?
Archery was 4 tags when I applied. Now it's 3 tags.
Muzzleloader was 3 tags and now it's 2 tags.
Thanks. I wish it was just my back. i'd struggle through and get it done. It's a long list and i'm sure one day one of them will put me 6ft under.
Meanwhile. I need an elk tag. :)
Good luck on your hunt.
I changed my plans. I changed my 2nd draw pick to muzzleloader. Even though there's only 3 muzzy tags in the 2nd draw and 4 tags in archery. There's twice as many hunters who didn't get the archery tag than muzzleloaders. In a random draw I need to keep the odds as good as I can get them.
I'll...
I'm just the opposite. If I get the elk tag I applied for in the 2nd draw I have a muley buck tag I won't use. I wasted two points getting it too. Two points is most i've had in my life for any species. I don't save points. I find a way to hunt instead. I guess wasting them fits me.
I can turn...
To be honest I thought he was also asking about a specific unit too. I must have mixed it up with another thread. It was too late I had made the post and had to live with it.
I see so many threads started looking for where to hunt. If i'm fed up enough I have to say something. We all shot game...
