Utah's Iron Sighted Hunts
Same here. Would use my marlin 45/70. It does have the 22 inch barrel with helps with irons. With how far I can reasonably shoot iron sights I am not really worried about the trajectory to much. Try to keep 3 inside 8/10 inch circle at 150 ( being realistic ) and I would be happy stay within... -
Needing to buy the wife some binoculars
Try and find some Zeiss Conquest HD 10x on some classifieds. Should be able to get some for $650/700 used in good condition. -
New Mexico - Unit 2 - Archery Elk
Find water, you will find them out in tall sage and tree pockets if there is water. They are not all up high in the trees like you would think. -
Antelope...Lets See Them!!!
I was, I went as an extra. Tony and Eli already had clients so I went out on my own that morning and missed a low 80s pronghorn. Then at lunch we were making hotdogs and this monster ran by with a pile of does. I drew the tag as a NR with only 7 points. That was the other half of the luck. -
Planning 2025 Elk hunt
Second this. I hunt with two others. We apply in 9 states all separately for all big game. We have multiple great hunts every year because of it. Someone draws we all go. Hunting especially elk is best done a team sport if you have the right people anyway. Elk are a chore. You all do not need or... -
"Now it's my turn!" -Federal circa 2025
True. You would not want 80k psi going off in your dad’s Remington 7400. Hornady superformance just had the disclaimer “ not for use in semi auto” I think.- wweaver79

"Now it's my turn!" -Federal circa 2025
This !! Why not make the cases for common rounds and make them awesome. Would sell like hotcakes also. Add 150/200 fps or more to already popular rounds. Sell a 30-06 round pushing a 180 @2900 elk hunters will crawl to the store to buy it.- wweaver79

Planning 2025 Elk hunt
Get comfortable with bears. Look into Gen areas mixed in with draw areas south of the park. Most/all areas with open country for Gen and have lots of public and have quality bulls are draw only. There are some but no one will tell you. Homework and scouting can get you there if you have time. -
Elk .... Let's see them!!!
2024 NV archery I do not post on here much because it is firewalled at work, which is when I have time. Here was this years adventure. Short video also. This was DIY with my cousin and buddy. Sorry no talking or the word bro in the video. Enjoy https://rumble.com/v640yn4-100-miles.html -

AZ 2016 93 SCI 92 2/8 BC First pronghorn- just got lucky. -
Critique my WY Pronghorn NON-resident tag application
Want to make the unit you want worse. Post it in the open forum before you draw. Also. Do not shoot female pronghorn Wyoming needs every one. In general look where tags were not cut as bad - northern half. -
How's the pronghorn population recovering?
They are still out there. No you don’t need a guide. In general the southern half got it worse than the northern half. The tag cuts will tell you what you need to know. Still two to three or more years out from having decent numbers again. But hunt when you can just do some homework first. -
Thompson Center coming back
I love my stainless TC pro hunter 50 cal muzz. My favorite muzz. I never did get any other barrels for it however. I would not mind getting a short 16 inch 44 mag or 30/30 barrel for whitetails. But ya not sure on who is getting it going again… -
School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country
Use the sidearm you are GOOD with. Six shots from a short barrel 44/454 etc does no good in the in the air/hair or dirt. A Glock 9mm with 15/17 rounds of 147 grain buffalo bore hard cast going where you want them is far more effective.- wweaver79

Biggest…when?
2021 for me. No idea on score the palm on the right side would ruin that but the fronts were all 20/21. I got lucky this year in the draws with NM and NV archery bull tags so we will see.
