I had a dandy buck in my scope at 325 yards, but couldn't shoot him because of the doe directly behind him. I watched for several minutes and when I moved to get a better angle they busted me! I had to watch them run away! I ended up with a pretty exciting stalk on a smaller buck the next day.
Has anyone used one of these? I am looking into buying a new smoker, and am leaning toward the 24" Vault. The reviews are mostly good, some with modification suggestions (needle valve, new smoke tray, etc). What do y’all think?
Found out yesterday that my buddy and I both drew Pronghorn tags in WY! Neither of us have ever hunted antelope or Wyoming before, so we are both pretty stoked. Now its wait and see if I draw a KS tag as well.....

I'm looking to update my hunting gear, and I'm wondering what y'all think. I know that the Meateater crew has preached First Lite, but side-by-side comparison (online) the King's Camo XKG and FL's Guide series look and cost about the same. Anyone have any experience with either (or both)?
My research has led me to Tecomate Western Big Game Combo. I am starting a 1 acre plot in western KS, and would love to know if anyone has tried or had any success with this or any other brand.
The weather was beautiful (terrible for hunting). 70° sunny, blue bird days. I helped a brand new hunter bag his first deer....a nice 5x4 muley. Spent the next few days working my ass off to get anywhere near shooting distance to deer. Finally, this forkie made a mistake. He's no giant, but...
You do have a little holdover at 400, but I guess I assumed anyone who has shot that kind of distance would know that. I shoot .308, and my holdover is the top of the back at 400 (13.5 in.) I have never shot at an animal at that distance, but I have shot enough paper/steel at that range that I...
I told myself the same thing last year . . . even passed on a nice buck that I watched bed down, because he wasn't the boomer I'd seen trailcam pics of. As the day went on, I started kicking myself for passing up an easy shot. I ended up going back to where he was bedded, and when he stood up...
