    Norma Bondstrike Ammo?

    I used Bondstrike bullets exclusively this past fall with great accuracy out of handloads in 6.5 prc. I will say that my experience is that it is a bonded bullet but does shed weight on impact with approximately 60% weight retained for shots within 200 yards. I took an elk, pronghorn, mule deer...

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    One month in and I’m down to 216. 13 lbs in a month is not sustainable but I definitely like the progress. It just tells me my fall hunting diet is really bad.

    Black Hills Buck

    I think that is a really good Hills deer. I harvested a small 5x4 out there two weeks ago and saw almost exclusively small deer. Nicely done!

    Deer - lets see em

    I was able to tag a pretty decent mule deer buck today at the family ranch. A darn good couple of days.

    Deer - lets see em

    I was able to arrow this guy on Halloween evening and recovered yesterday morning. Having my son out for the recovery was the best part, SD archery only public area.

    SD Elk draws

    They could commit to aerial surveys, but won’t. They have a decent idea of rough numbers I think and really rely depredation claims/ sharing information with tribal game and fish agencies west river.

    New to the Pierre SD area, looking for and Archery shop

    Runnings in Pierre is able to do basic bow set up and tuning. If you want to get really into the weeds on tuning I recommend heading to RC to Black Hills Archery. Runnings has a bow press and can get you hunting and shooting in town.

    SD Elk draws

    I will be there at the same time, my wife drew the same tag. It will be a ton of fun and a lot of hunters in the area.

    Sell Me On A Case Trimmer

    I use a Lee quick trim for 243, 30-06, 7-HT, 6.5 PRC, and 300WSM. I am pretty simple and enjoy the hands on processing in the press.

    In our hunting group we have a Unit 2 cow tag (wife), 2 BH whitetail tags (myself and friend), and we get tribal deer tags for our ranch. Very busy fall.

    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    I sent in and visited with one of our members locally on this issue. Sen. Thune and Dusty support this. Unsure of Senator Rounds but I am guessing he will.

    Norma Bondstrike Ammo

    They work just fine, they are a bit softer than Nosler or Swift bonded offerings.

    I know several individuals that have been in touch that have the tag this year, it might be pretty crowded in the easier access areas.

    When you hit the requisite post requirements to be able to PM, reach out to me to discuss. It can be a great hunt but those elk travel incredible distances day to day so access is by far the hardest part of the hunt.

    Tell me about the Tikka T3

    Its hard to beat the confidence of functionality and off the shelf accuracy you get with Tikka's. I keep going through various rifle brands and then circle round to swapping for Tikka T3's in desirable calibers, they just shoot. Plus they are in the sweet spot for weight for active hunters while...
