Current setup as of Saturday evening…. I went into this hunt knowing it be tough with low deer numbers, I have been surprised at just how low.
Glad I have a couple more weeks to try and figure them out
I love my havalons but man I have absolutely butchered myself on multiple occasions using them. Still packing my old trusty Puma Hunters pal though for the boning and everything else. Was given an outdoor edge set that takes the same blades for Christmas last year and have yet to use it but...
Yeah but nothing good. Everything I’ve seen and read has the herd way down and not what it used to be at all. I figure I’m just going to do a whole lot of walking and glassing. Probably stay out on some BLM and hunt the whole season. I’ll be in a silver Tacoma that’s pretty beat up with a camper...
I’m thinking it’s going to be about the same deal for me. I am however looking forward to trying 125 out for mule deer. Hopefully it was worth burning the points.
The tag I pulled this year has me hunting an area I have not been in at all. I've heard that the hunting is fairly weather dependent and not what it used to be at all but was wondering if anybody had any experience hunting the area. Should I take the full two weeks or just wait and go the later...
Drew a Deer tag for 125-1. Never hunted the area before but decided to burn my points while my daughter was still stationed out that way. Hoping we can get some leave approved so we can get a week or so to hunt together, also pulled a cow/calf tag for 066 which is in the same general area. Looks...
I am biased in saying a 270 but its only because I have killed an absolute pile of different sized critters with that particular caliber. Like you said... with the ranges you are hunting all three will do the same thing. This is where I would usually chastise other calibers but the ones you...
Im hoping it pans out. Plan on spending 2 weeks in it hunting so I can cover some ground and take my time. The big plus on it is my oldest daughter is stationed near there so I we will get to hunt some together.
Well… I burned 7 points on it so I hope it’s at least worth the view. Not read much promising stuff but I’ll set aside 2 weeks to walk around and see. A man never knows till he goes.
In another life. A long time ago when I was still naive enough to think I could do something that made a difference in the world I spent a lot of time in a lot of very poor countries. Places where if you had a handful of rice every few days you were doing better than your neighbor. Protein was...
Used the sweetwater for many years and also the Katidyn. Both have been great. Really want to give the UV pen a go but dunno about the whole battery thing.
I was in the same boat... good labs... in good shape to be almost 43 not overweight. Im around 215 or so at 5'11. Always felt tired in the morning and sluggish. 3 years ago was on a backpack hunt and woke up with my heart acting weird... long story short... it was like that the next 3 days. I...
The raider has pretty much been claimed by my daughter at this point but its got more room than the Sammi and is a little easier to get places than the 84 in the background.
