Thats the thing I don't know when to hunt. Just trying to see what season and then look at where to go and tag options etc. The boy did just text and let me know he and his sister both made national honor society so that was some great news. I really want to do some more hunts with him, and...
As a lot of you know I am trying to put together a couple of hunts this year with my son. A spring turkey hunt is on the list as well as a sage grouse hunt. I am thinking about either a bear or deer hunt. I don’t know anything about bears and don’t understand what are the pros/cons of each...
He has a Ruger American 243 that we put into a Magpul hunter stock with a vari-x-iii 3.5x10x50 scope
I’m thinking the 3.5-10 is what we will stick with. Or the 4.5-14 but leaning toward the 3.5
Thanks guys for the tips. This hunt will be a go next year. One of many trips I hope to take. This will be a family trip my wife and daughter will be coming along too
Ok I have settled on one of the hunts to take my son on. We want to do a merriam turkey hunt. So which state has the best public land with easy to get tags? We are coming from Missouri so I know we will have a drive. Looking to camp out and enjoy a father son adventure. Trying to start planning...
How far was the shot on the bison? What caliber did you use? And was the processor and taxidermist local in South Dakota? How long for the processor to turn the bison around?
I’m thinking 400 yards would be the limit. Saying that my son has taken a few deer at 250-300 yards. I think with the right load and bullet the 30-06 will be good to 400. I fully believe in shooting within your limits and knowing them. But I also think as long as you have practiced and know your...
I have always been happy with my Leupold 3.5-10 Vari x iii. I also like my old busnell elite 2.5-10 also. So 50mm or 40mm? And whats the advantage to a 30mm tube? Also any reticle preferance? I have never shot one but the B&C reticle looks pretty handy
Picked up a 30/06 for my son to hunt out west. What’s a good scope for it? Thinking Leupold
We are at the Tulsa gun show and thought about tonics one up tomorrow
We found a few varixiii 3.5-10x40 used and a vx3 hd 4.5-14 cds $525 new
Looking to see what power range you guys out west like...
Any plans to have your bison mounted? Did you bring the meat home to work up yourself or take it to a processor? And how many points did you have to draw the tag?
