Ok so ive been looking at getting me a 17 hornet. I have areas where i hunt fox and cats and my 17hmr is just a bit underpowered for some of the shots. Would like a hornet for the 200yard and occasional 300 on fox and bobcats. I dont get many coyotes in my fox locations but they come sometimes...
I have shot several howas and i own 1 my father owns several and all my uncles and cousins own at least 1 howa each. They are just darn good and reliable guns. I have the axiom in 308 and i love the thing. Super accurate and i really like the recoil buffering system. Makes it easy to shoot all...
If i had one i would choose a .308 I have taken coyotes, fox not the best for fox or yotes. But i have taken elk 800 yards with it and dropped him. I would have to say though the best gun is the one you are most comfortable and confident in. I know my 308 very well i do reload but factory ammo...
For sure looking forward to it. Will try to pack animals first with the bag. Then hopefully do a camp and what not on my back. Will certainly work to being able to do it comfortably. Wouldnt want to be several miles in and realize i cant do it. Thankfully i live in a small mountain town so i can...
Very true everyone is different. I most certainly will start slow started hiking on weekends. Will be taking a pack and slowly adding weight see how i hold up. I have definitely learned i need to start slow with my back injury. Be able to carry everything out is something i want to make sure i...
I live in southwest new Mexico. I hunt often big game when i draw. My passion is hubting predators. Anyone near that also goes out. Usually i go solo but would like someone who wants to tag along.
Yeah i plan on doing some solo hunting this year. Going to get me a pack before the hunts this year. Still torn between the exo kuiu and mystery. Will most likely get the metcalf seems like a good fit for what i want to do.
Nwihunter thanks yeah have looked at the exo packs as well. I am excited to start getting gear and start backpacking. Looks like whatever pack i get they all seem to be good and comes down to accessories.
nwihunter thanks for the tip yeah ill be getting a pack in decemeber and start getting in shape hopefully in time for next September. Ill look into some trek poles what brand do you use. Iam thinking of getting a kuiu icon pro. Mostly because i will do more day hunts and occasionally a night or...
I hunt unit 24 and 16. I use onyx works great. I plan on trying a trip next year if i get any hunts. Let me know i know the sw area of nm as that's where i usually hunt.
So i would like to get into pack hunting. I live in sw nm and looking for people around here who pack hunt. I would like to see what people around me are using and packing. Also someone with experience to help me do things right. I know plenty of areas and not asking to show me yours spots. Just...
Yeah i did therapy with a spine specialist. Im doing well i lift weights and i know what to do and not to to hurt myself. Only reason i want to get into it is because i feel i could do it. I figure if i can drag a mule deer 3/4 mile a pack would probably be easier on me. I will probably pick on...
Yeah i do lots of core actually strongest my core has ever been and i use to fight. But i was just wondering on one that people seem to notice is better for them vs say another brand. Have been looking at kuiu exo and mystery ranch. Thanks for the tips though i havent ever packed so i will...
