Fierce Rifles
Does anyone on here have any experience with fierce rifles? I stumbled on them at Cabela's last week and they seemed nice and we'll built but upon researching them I haven't been able to find many reviews. I searched previous posts and the most recent was in 2015 so not sure if anyone has... -

Wyoming Preference Point
With Wyoming Preference Point deadline closing tomorrow, I'm debating if I should buy preference points for Elk, Deer, and Pronghorn. I've been playing on GoHunt to see what benefit having preference points really provides and it seems like a lot of units can be drawn with 0 points and most of...- nhn2a

Cactus
True, I did know they were there so not making any excuses. Just saying its not funny to watch anymore. The one I sat on was by accident but the ones I crawled through we were on a mission after a deer so we knowingly crawled through those. I knew I would regret it later but having no prior...- nhn2a

Spotter scope tripods.
I went with a Vortex which is close to that price point. They are a little heavier but I like knowing it has a lifetime warranty if I ever break it. Just read the fine print as some of their cheaper models only have a 2yr warranty and not the lifetime. -

Cactus
I have to say I laughed pretty hard when I watched the clip of Randy sitting on a cactus (sorry Randy) in one of his earlier episodes. Well I have a new appreciation for the pain now after my Colorado hunt. I saw Cacti everywhere but did a good job of staying away from it until our last day...- nhn2a

First DIY Western Hunt to Colorado Unit 3/301 - Success!
Day 4 we decided to go back to Maybell but to go deep into the walk in only area. We walked in about 2 miles to get right up to the boarder of public and private. We were there at sunrise and immediately glassed up dozens of does in every direction. We finally spotted two bucks about a 1000... -

First DIY Western Hunt to Colorado Unit 3/301 - Success!
After day 1 and all of its excitement, days 2 and 3 were surprisingly slow. We scoured Pole Gulch and Godiva Rim. Winds were up to 20-30mph and we only saw a few does bedded down and never did see 1 deer at Godiva Rim. We had stayed away from Maybell STL as it seemed to have a lot of pressure... -

First DIY Western Hunt to Colorado Unit 3/301 - Success!
Day 1 was opening day. We decided to head back out to Godiva Rim after the Elk knowing our best chance was to be sitting on them at day break before other hunters bumped them out of there. Overnight, it had dropped in temperature and snowed a couple inches so we had a nice white blanket to... -

First DIY Western Hunt to Colorado Unit 3/301 - Success!
Day 0 was our scouting day. I had done a ton of e-scouting and talked to several hunt talkers on here for advice and had decided we were going to start our trip at Pole Gulch STL in Unit 3. We spent the morning there but didn't see nearly the activity we expected to see and only saw some small... -

First DIY Western Hunt to Colorado Unit 3/301 - Success!
Just got home from my first western and mule deer hunt in Colorado. My mom and I were hunting together along with another buddy who didnt have a tag but was tagging along to glass and help pack meat since my Mom really couldn't do much. We ended up going 2 for 2 on mule deer and even managed... -

Anyone hunting around Craig, CO
Weather is calling for 20-40 degrees most days so it should be cold enough to keep the snakes away. -

Anyone hunting around Craig, CO
Has anyone on here been hunting around Craig, CO during Archery or Muzzleloader seasons this year? I'm heading out there next week for second season rifle in 3/301 and just curious how the deer population looks. The weather looks like it should cooperate nicely so feeling very optimistic, just... -

Are all ballistic charts for a rifle caliber uniform for different ammunition?
I second the above response. The ammo can make a big difference. Hornady SSTs I believe all fall in their Superformance line which is supposed to go 200 fps faster than most normal rounds which effect the trajectory. I shoot that same caliber and round and just recently shot through a... -

Do you carry a pistol while Bowhunting?
I second its not the most comfortable way to carry. However, I also wore one for many years in the Military and over a lot of miles on foot while deployed. You will get used to it but just make sure you dont go cheap. I'd get one of the nicer Blackhawk drop leg holsters and spend some time... -

Do you carry a pistol while Bowhunting?
In NC its legal. I always carry a pistol when bow hunting. Mainly because of snakes but also quite a few bobcats and coyotes here in NC. -

Handling camp expenses when you bought most of the equipment
It really depends on your expectations and what was discussed when you guys started planning the hunt. I know most have said to split the costs equally but I normally do things a little differently. I'm by far better off financially than most of my hunting buddies. I tend to invite people to...- nhn2a

Bow Sling
I use the dead ringer bow sling and really like it. It protects the strings and cams when in the sling. I hunt primarily on the east coast so the areas are normally too thick to have an impromptu encounter. When that happens, I'd never shoot at a running animal due to my skill level more than... -

Oh well, I tried. Guess non resident hunters don't need any help!
That was an awesome offer from you and disappointing they blew you off like that. There are a lot of really good people in the Military but unfortunately there are some not great people also. Its not a reflection on the organization, just some bad apples. I personally had the complete... -

Trail Camera Question
I've used a lot of cameras and as most said anything in the less than $100 range probably wont last more than a year or two. In that range, I've been a fan of Moultries but even then I've had several break after just one season (flash stops working, wont keep a charge, wont recognize SD cards...
