Well, I was super excited about getting my first antelope tag here in UT. I've wanted to hunt antelope for years and I finally got this tag. I knew it wasn't a super trophy unit, but I also knew there were some good bucks in the unit. I made it out to the unit in June to do a little scouting and...
I got a pair of campfire trekking poles back when campfire was still around. They've worked really well for me for a few seasons now, but that obviously doesn't help since campfire isn't around. I would be looking at the black diamond if I was in the market right now. Kind of hard to beat.
That's a pretty fantastic deal. I have a savage 110 in 7mm mag that shoots lights out. I also have a 7PRC in a Howa 1500 that I built. It's been my go to for most rifle hunts the last couple of years. Really enjoy it.
About how many days are you in the field hunting each year? I love seeing your pics and posts from your hunts. Seems like you have a lot of time and freedom to be out there! Love it.
Yeah. It got down to -5 that night. I knew it was gonna be cold, so I was pretty prepared with my sleeping situation and clothes. It wasn't too bad, but certainly wasn't the warmest night I've had.
Didn't get a picture, but I pan seared some fresh elk backstrap and then threw it in the smoker for a couple hours. Some of the best I've had in a long time. Rubbed it with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, thyme, and some all purpose seasoning. Came out incredible.
Yeah. My son and I had that tag about 3 years ago. We didn't see a single elk on public. We did end up getting permission on a ranch and got 1 cow. But, it's my understanding that the ranch that let us on has turned over management and is not longer allowing access. Good luck!
I bought a CVA Wolf 2 this year and I have no complaints so far. Shooting well and the breech plug is easy to remove. I would really look at CVA's if I were you. I had a Traditions before this and took a couple deer with it, but there's really no comparison between the 2. The CVA is way above...
That really sucks. I've used Alps OutdoorZ stuff for a number of years in the past because we had a discount through Boy Scouts. Haven't bought anything in a number of years, but still use a couple mummy bags and one tent from them. We had a pack that my son used that had a broken buckle and...
I threaded my 7 PRC without chopping the barrel and am really wishing I had now. I will likely take it in after hunting season and have it done. Just gets to be too long and unwieldy in the field.
