Saw plenty of sign. The cover was very thick. We saw three bears total last week. No big mature boars like I was looking for. One of my hunting partners missed a decent bear at 60 yards. I think he was excited. My other friend plugged a 3ish year old 5-1/2 or so foot traditional black boar that...
When we were in the area a few weeks ago, the vegetation in the 7800' to 8300' foot range looked like prime fall forage. The only bear we saw was at about 6500'.
I am guessing they will be spread all over the place when the season opens, concentrating lower later in September. Will see how...
I apologize for butting in on your ad. Just wanted to mention that I have a Browning A-bolt Micro Medallion in .284 Winchester. I feel that the recoil is significant enough that it could be discouraging to a younger or smaller shooter. I am guessing that the 7mm08 would also be stout in this...
Got the Ballistic tips covered, thanks to a tip from a member here. Just need the ELDXs now.
Would also be interested in Berger 7 mm 175 Grain Elite Hunter.
I bought some Kennetreks at Scheel’s yesterday. The boot guy told me that Kennetrek recommends a 20 mile break-in. If during or after that I have a problem, just bring them back. Hopefully, I don’t have to validate that offer. I guess I won’t know what it’s worth unless I do.
Would like to buy some Hornady 7mm 162 grain ELD-X bullets. Also could use some .224" 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips.
Please let me know if you have some that you would like to sell.
I was blown away by their extensive selection of high-end rifles in stock. Coopers, Christensens, Proof, etc. The only shame was that 80+% are in 6.5 something or other.
It's a pretty awesome place with lots of quality gear. Hanwag and Crispi boots in stock. Sitka Gear by the droves.
Well, since I blew it and missed the muley tag raffle, I invested in my last vestige of hope for a cool tag this year here... Thanks for this thread, or I might have missed it too.
In my opinion, the best use for a long bar is bucking on the ground without wrecking your back. Short guys like me can get by with a 28" bar, but a 32" with a skip tooth chain would be even better. Obviously, for the OP's use case, a 70+ cc saw with a big bar is not warranted, but they...
