Thank you. It was the best hunt ever for me. Traditionally I’m a Midwest whitetail hunter so this was incredible. I was shooting a Weatherby vanguard 7mm rem mag with Nosler Partition 160’s
He didn’t say anything about that area specifically. Just said it was a bad winter obviously but it was the pronghorn that really got hit hard. We had 8 in camp and everyone tagged out. Heard a lot of bull bugles and we saw Elk every trip out. Group in the week before us only had one guy tag...
What we learned and was told back then was it effected the pronghorn more than the elk. Both my buddy and I tagged out by the third day of the hunt. We had JD as a guide. If you can ask for him he was fantastic. He walked me dead but we got the job done.
I had a Vanguard stock in my Weatherby 7mm rem mag. Terrible recoil and accuracy. Switched to a Bell and Carlson stock due to accuracy but it came with a better recoil pad and now I enjoy shooting my rifle.
My situation was a little different. I switched to a different stock but the recoil pad was a much nicer one and it drastically helped me with recoil. I moved to a Bell and Carlson stock that had a Pachmayer Decelerator pad on it. That new pad worked wonders for me. I'd start with a new pad.
At my age I always thought this might be my only trip west but I’ve got to come back. Thanks! We had a 78 year old in camp this week. I think I’ll do it again.
After almost two years of planning and many posts here on what I needed to get prepared for this hunt I was successful tonight. Thank you! It was more than I could have imagined. Flat lander from Michigan old as hell climbed the steep hills and put one in the bread basket at 150. Never forget...
Sorry just saw this. I mostly have insulated hunting clothes for sitting in a deer stand here in MI. During early season I just wear some camo pants and a long sleeve shirt. Not much of what I have is going to be useful out west.
