Crazy amount of money to spend on anything let alone a tag. That guy will kill a 200"+ ram. There are multiple rams in there over 200 even if he doesn't get the exact one he's after. Last year 2 rams over 200" came out of that unit.
I have an Inreach for sale. Never had any issues with him. Works well. Garmin changing their subscription plans really hurts me, but I think it could work well for someone still. There is some scratching on the face that you can see if you hold it at an angle with the light, but I had a screen...
You can borrow a rifle. I've done it twice and I'm doing it again in a month. Best way to hunt NZ is to make a friend and just go hunt unless you want to kill a giant stag then you need a guide to hunt private.
If you want to punch tags learn how to scout. E-scout hard. Find areas that check all the boxes for the type of hunt you want to have. Then get out there to your unit early and find the elk. I've had a plenty of hunts where I've "hunted" for 3-6 days covering my areas before I could carry a gun...
Day 3.
After I shot the second pig yesterday, I decided I would hunt this morning until about 12 o’clock then begin to head home. On this hunt, I was able to shoot unlimited hogs, two does, one buck with a spread over 13 inches, and one buck with at least one unbranched antler. The area I was...
Day 2. I saw some deer but no good bucks. Around 4pm I found a group of 3 pigs feeding in some grassy woods. After some patience I knocked one down.
I found what I feel like is a good deer area. It’s 2 miles in. I’m going pack in my climber tomorrow and hunt until about 12 o’clock then I think...
I hiked in deep this morning. I saw a small buck around 8 o’clock. Unfortunately, the big buck didn’t show. Around 10 o’clock I decided I was going to start moving because it was so dang cold. I was about to freeze. Around 2 o’clock I finally got on some pigs, but the wind was all over the place...
East Texas
I walked 10 miles and saw 18 deer and 6-8 hogs. I got soaking wet, but that’s ok. I think I found a good area. It’s a long walk but hopefully it’s good. The wind has picked up and the temp is supposed to drop tonight. Maybe I can put a hole in something tomorrow.
