Do you use a scope with target turrets?
There's a very simple test that I've seen a lot of guys lose faith in very nice scopes with. Crank that thing all the way to one side. Then up. Then over to the other side. All the way down and repeat. Go around that square 10 times. Reset to zero and shoot. When it's sub zero and I'm shooting...- Firedude

Do you use a scope with target turrets?
You guys NEED (as in absolutely have to have or cant do it) adjustable turret at 300? That being the case I get it now. If you can't push 2 to 6 inches high and an inch over the suggested rules make complete sense now.- Firedude

How much freezer for a bull moose?
I got 520 lbs of meat off of mine. Filled my upright. I think mine is a 19 or 20 cu ft. Gave about 40 lbs away too. Good thing you got bigger. Mine was so full it took a couple days to freeze all the meat even with 2 inches of air space between the top of the meat and the next rack. A butcher...- Firedude

Do you use a scope with target turrets?
I voted "yes" because I do have them on most of my rifles. Most of the time I just use Kentucky windage and elevation. I trust my experience with the rifle more than I trust the repeatability of the turrets. Hunting ground squirrels and prairie dogs for hours making adjustments constantly it...- Firedude

Non resident tag group
It is fun to bust his chops... But he argues for me to hunt Wyoming. So he gets me standing up in a meeting saying Wyoming residents should get to hunt here. Everyone arguing for nonresidents to be cut off in their state gets the same from me. -

Non resident tag group
Buzz should be the piler of deciding what to do with non-residents from Wyoming. We could Zero out every other state on how they want to restrict us. I've listened to al lot a meeting were residents say no non-res. tags. But reading minutes from Wyoming that he's been in would should welcome... -

huh... so the first I'm seeing this is now while I'm butchering an antelope and selections are done. WEIRD that NOBODY from my region was accepted. Cough... the area with the greatest non-res interest. cough, Upper Snake... Cough. -

Dang it.... well hopefully they view it as, "How would I as a resident want things while keeping in mind I LOVE hunting other states and what do I hope they say." -

Non resident tag group
Check my post history. I agree we need to find a better system for you guys to get tags and reduce tags to match surrounding states. At the same time, have I ever suggested to end the non-resident hunting? -

Non resident tag group
That is very fair... But just so you are aware, there area a handful of us that know what a blessing it is to hunt in other states and can take ourselves out of the equation while making decisions ON YOUR BEHALF. Pray we get on this group. Just look on this page of guys in Wyoming that fight... -

Idaho Seeks to Limit Scope Turrets and Rangefinders
I have a leveler on my Sendero 300 ultra mag. I absolutely made sure to check it before I shot a deer at 850 yards on a DEPREDATION tag. In that area of 6 inch sagebrush you're not going to sneak up on those critters eating crops. You need the elevation and range to make an ethical shot. Sounds... -

Idaho Seeks to Limit Scope Turrets and Rangefinders
I'm hopeful to reduce wounding, increase 1 shot harvest, and help the herds increase simultaneously. That can only be done with diverse thinking. I cannot tell you how many guys from North Idaho I've met that laugh and say, "An open sighted 30-30 is all you need!" Then take them out into the... -

Idaho Seeks to Limit Scope Turrets and Rangefinders
You know 2 huntalkers that have applied. I'm in. My ideas are simultaneously to limit some equipment while opening others. I've hunted, fished, and trapped most of the state. What you need to be successful and ethical is a convenience for me and vice versa. For example I NEED conibears to trap... -

Idaho Seeks to Limit Scope Turrets and Rangefinders
Long range shooting came up over a decade ago. I was in a meeting where the whole room was arguing for it and there should be no limits on equipment. For about 30 minutes everyone was an "expert" marksman and could kill deer at a mile. An old boy in the middle of the room raised his hand and... -

Idaho ending OTC?
I actually understand this perspective. There are so many, many hunts I would love to experience that are in states I am not a resident of. Sadly, we are catching up with the rest of the country and having to DRAW for tags instead of inviting you to enjoy what little Idaho has to offer. It seams... -

2024 Idaho draw results…
I was one of those "libtards". I simply asked in a spring meeting how the random draws were "Random". "By computer" was the response. "No... tell me how they are random. Algorithm, darts, hat draw, ping pong balls in a river. Computers don't do random. Never have. They are true or false...- Firedude

2024 Idaho draw results…
Awe... they blamed a vendor. Again. Called it "Oh we gave a low bid agency all your private info and THEY screwed up. Not us... nothing to see here." Just your social security number, license number, address, app history, credit card/account numbers, name, etc... on a list of low bid printers...- Firedude
