We have done ok this year. My brother -in-law got this on the second day. I passed on him on the 15th maybe get out tomorrow afternoon. Heated blinds are nice with this weather.
Addicting and Ben lamb, as someone who hunts just north of cedar springs. Had the 4pts on one side help? I passed on 4 Michigan basket 8pts 3 are still alive with no holes. The 4th got shot in the neck or face and is still running. One of the guys saw it briefly this morning prior to crossing a...
Thanks everyone for the suggestion. I remounted the rings and checked the rings with the lapping pins and everything lined up correctly. I did check the free float of the barrel and it is tight getting a dollar bill between the stock and barrel.
I might mount the scope and shoot a few groups...
Wanted to get peoples opinion on this: I have a 7mm-08 feather weight model 70 Winchester, and I can get the gun would hold great groups with premium bullets, but throw cup and core bullets all over the place. Plus, the Point of Impact seemed to change. This evening I pulled the scope and mounts...
Went to help my uncle double check his rifle. The 4round group were in a 2” area and about 6” low. I adjusted the scope to raise it 6.5” and then put a three round group and another 4 round group and the bullets were all hitting the same spot. The scope is an old Nikon at the time one of the...
What I really appreciate is when someone drives their motor home to a section of land and parked it right where the elk and deer cross to get onto public. Said couple then left the motor home for 4 days locked up. Then on their return they drove their keep wrangler all over the blm to try and...
My brother and I had to break down deer in a hotel because processors were full up. Should of seen some of the looks when we walked into the local Walmart to purchase trash bags, cutting boards, hack saw, nail brushes, and vacuum sealer/bags.
Hotel front desk staff did not blink and eye when we...
Reached out to Bergara and I have the first gen scope mounts. I was referred to Talley and got a rail ordered today. Will let you know what I have when it arrives.
Need some help figuring out my mounts for new to me Pre 2018 Bergara Stalker Premier. The action is based on the Remington 700 but a standard 700 LA rail does not match up. I have learned the following:
-front and rear screw holes are 0.860” apart.
-Talley referenced these as defiance rings due...
You realize who the serious folks are when the group packs out an animal
some crap hole, and you see the same truck and people there the next year. Only run into two groups who have returned again after packing an animal out.
While deer hunting I saw more people glassing, and driving around in trucks looking for deer. One guy got a 4x4 300 yards from the road. We drove past the spot in line with 4 other trucks 30 minutes earlier.
Got out hiked in half a mile and we saw more deer and bucks then the people camping...
The only doe tags were issued for whitetail deer in unit 88. That herd got hit by the midge fly last year. We went to the area where whitetail frequent and only saw 5 mulie doe.
W and G warden for the unit said the whitetail deer herd is very low for those hunting walk in and public land.
