I put a 3-9x42 vortex diamondback on my 17 hmr. Works well for the 200 yards i hit prairie dogs at. The 9x is nice for hitting jac rabbits at 300 yards, and the 3x is good foe coyotes at 20 yards.
The elk are like flies there. Walk right into the concrete plant in loveland. I have videos i shot from the cab of a loader while working on the chimney hollow reservoir construction. Had to actuallly stop my machine to avoid injuring them as they walked across the construction site, every...
They are federally protected as "an iconic of the historic west" non native, invasive. Its ok for the feds to castrate them, kill them off, sell them for farms, but its illegal for you or me to shoot one to eat the meat. Tell me how that makes any sense.
Your priveleaged getting 5 weeks. We get 2 most places with a general tag. The draw tags are slightly better but good luck ever seeing one of those. I do see dozens of mule deer everytime im out elk hunting though.
The non resident thing can be ultra damaging. Ive seen many who are desperate to make a shot because its their last couple days before they leave. or they simply dont understand the animal and disturb all of the bedding areas. Ive noticed a lot of people still have not adjusted to the areas...
Glad to hear the guy who has taken hundreds of pictures of mule deer, has many mule deer skulls on the wall, and has collected dozens upon dozens of sheds has no clue that they actually have an excellent population right now. thats the definition of one who does VS one who types about. I would...
Losing elk unless you shoot through shoulders, and getting no bone fragmentation when shooting through shoulders are two key indicators of bullets failing to expand.
I couldnt agree more. For every person i hear whining about how theres no deer, i see 6 that sit in the 4 wheeler on the road glassing right over the large mule deer that are on the slope below them, or the fools that walk in and walk a loop around and walk right out by 9 am while they drive the...
I always hear the whining about how mule deer numbers are way down and game and fish needs to stop selling tags, that its their fault the population will never recover.
Well first off i dont think the population is low. I see tons of them. They are in the thick stuff. I think anlot of their...
I deffinitely found that comfortable feeling in the woods as a kid. I spent my 20s thinking i needed to be hiking in wilderness areas to get that same feeling. Ive now come to realize i can get it in any isolated woods. Learning to not worry about money, or making a bunch of it, limiting my time...
It really helps ro have a cartridge with limited wind drift when your in wyoming and 25 mph wind can be come still or revers 180 degrees multiple times per minute.
No best its gonna do is make the bear come after yiu. i live and hunt where bears roam. Dont make an easy meal for them and they will leave you alone. Carry a loaded pistol and dont sneak up on them. Additionally, the come in to the smell of food not humans so keep your cooking area and food...
