There is a high quality griffon breeder about 30 minutes from our house and we seriously considered picking one up but after a lot of research we decided to go with a GWP. The griffons were priced at 1800 for male and 2000 for females. They are navhpa trained and certified parents. I have 2...
Like others said a .410 with tss is plenty for turkeys. Actually 3” .410 tss #9s have about 300 pellets and #9 will kill quite farther than you should ethically shoot at a turkey head.
A GOOD shop is paramount. A lot of shop will measure your wingspan setup the bow shoot it through paper and hand it to you and say good luck.
I’d research shops in your area and try to find one with a legit certified archery coach on staff that you can pay for lessons. Schedule a few lessons and...
Again if you go to page 10 underneath eurasians it has a note saying they are invasive and to reference page 7. Page 7 says you can hunt invasive species by any method of take legal for small game or big game (which means air guns are legal). Your way over complicating it. If you don’t trust a...
Eurasian doves can be shot with pellet guns. They are considered an invasive species by the cpw. No license needed (just a hunters safety card) and pretty much any method your heart desires. You can even hunt them at night with a spotlight if you want. Look at the small game brochure on the...
A lift won’t get you more clearance for ruts and rocks. It gives you the ability to get larger tires. And if you go from your tires to 35s your not gaining enough clearance to make hardly any difference. So if spending a good amount of money to gain an inch in clearance is worth it then by all...
Walking the brushy areas of Pawnee grasslands and you’ll kick up more than you’ll want to shoot. I often walk with my shotgun and keep my .22 on my back. if I kick up a rabbit too far out I’ll watch where he goes then often I’ll be able to sneak over and pop it with my .22 as he’s sitting in the...
My dads family growing up didn’t have the luxury of taking game to a processor so they had all the equipment and did it themselves. So when I was old enough to handle a knife (7 or 8) I would join in after hunts and help break everything down and process animals after my dad and brothers got...
I haven’t been lion hunting but a few years ago a guy brought in a huge lion to the shop. It weighed a touch over 200lbs on a certified postal scale and it had 8 .357 bullets in it. I’d recommend a lever action. When the day comes for me to go I’ll be bringing my lever action 45-70
I have a black lab for waterfowl but we will be picking up a German wirehair in 2 weeks. The parents are fantastic upland and duck dogs so the new pup will be pulling double duty so the lab can retire.
A good used or middle of the line now is more than adequate. They typically are previous years technology repackaged as a “mid level” now even though a lot of those bows outperform some of the last eat and greatest crap companies put out. Your best money spent is on quality accessories such as a...
I remember listening to Randy’s podcast with Jim Hegel finger on Mexican red wolves and how a Colorado wolf introduction could be the beginning of the end of a true Mexican red wolf, well a week after that podcast dropped my wife and I went to the Cheyenne mountain zoo and setup right next to...
Well my wife decided 2 years ago she wanted to try hunting with her bow. She tagged along on an archery elk hunt and while it was fun for her to see and hear big bulls bugling in her face, it was a little daunting for her to try to take a animal as big as an elk for her first hunt. So I tried to...
