2024!!
I walked the property I hunt yesterday in Porter county and was blown away at the lack of any sort of deer sign. It’s 112 acre woods surrounded by fields and woods and is typically loaded with deer. I spent 2 hours walking it and did not turn up a single scrape or rub anywhere on the property... -

40 mm vs. 50 mm scope.
It was a 3 x 9. What I liked about it the most was it just seemed like it was easier to pick up the target. I’m assuming with the bigger lens is it had a bigger field of view. -
40 mm vs. 50 mm scope.
I posted this thread in the firearms section instead of the optics figuring it might get more views. I admit I’m not very knowledgeable about rifles and scopes but am wondering what the advantages or disadvantages are to having a 50mm vs a 40 mm lens scope? I currently have a Leupold vx-3 HD... -
Changing Colors and Bugling Bulls
Congrats on great bull. You made it look so easy. -
Slugs in a Smoothbore?
I always used 3” Remington magnum copper solid slugs out of my 12g 870. My god that is a miserable gun at the range. I would shoot a box of 5 every year before season started to verify it was sighted in. I hated every shot. Extremely deadly combo though. -
Unit 45 New Mexico
I also had some luck turning up elk by side hilling the dark timber mid day into the wind on a very windy day. Moving slow and glassing through the timber to try and spot something. I’m sure there are parts of the unit that are really good for glassing, just not the area I was in. -
Unit 45 New Mexico
I have hunted that unit for first rifle a couple of times. In the area I was in the bulls were quiet. One of the hunts I bugled in a couple of bulls but they came in completely silent. On another hunt I set up and cow called and bugled at first light and was able to bring in a bull that came... -

Gun range mistake.
Both of these are 6.5 creedmore cases. The one on the right is the one that was fired out of my .308. -
Gun range mistake.
I accidentally fired a 6.5 creedmore round through my .308. The recoil was much lighter and shot was nowhere on target. I then put 3 more rounds of .308 ammo through and everything seems fine. All 3 shoots were right on target. Could I have messed anything up? Anything I should be... -
Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?
I am also a life long white tail hunter from the Midwest that just recently started elk hunting. The biggest mistake I made on my first few hunts was hunting them like white tail. It’s a totally different game up in the mountains compared to the wood lots and corn fields I’ve been hunting...
