I have never hunted 69 but I have hunted all around it and it always looked like it would be a fun hunt with plenty of opportunity. There seemed to be a lot of very flat terrain on the south end of the area, you can see a long way. I saw a couple of guys loading a buck in 69 and stopped to...
Nice rifle! I bet it will be a great shooter, I like the checkered butt and personally wouldn't think of sawing it off and adding a pad. I have a soft spot for the Husqvarna guns and have a 640 in 9,3x62 that I really love.
Another CZ fanboy here, I have the 457 Varmint and it is a wonderfully accurate rifle, a bit heavy for toting around the squirrel woods but the way it shoots makes up for the extra weight.
Longest bow shot was 47 yards on a whitetail doe. I have switched back to stickbows now so I won't take a shot over about 20 yards. Rifle 265 yards pronghorn, pistol 203 yards pronghorn. I practice at much longer ranges but until Tuesday I was hampered in my long range shooting of rifles and...
I don't know about the download, but you can use the chip in any compatible GPS you want to. I didn't have to specify a GPS unit when I registered mine.

Personally, I despise any sort of points system, at 53 I probably fit into the "old whiner" category to some of you young punks. I think the only fair way to issue limited tags is a true random draw. Everyone has an equal chance that way, as long as it is a true random draw. I feel the same way...
I don't recall the exact model but about 8 or 9 years ago I found a decked out Bear bow with a quiver full of arrows. It wasn't top of the line stuff but all upper end, sights, quiver, arrows. The really funny part was the mixture of 1, 4 blade 100 grain Muzzy, 1, 3 blade 125 grain Muzzy and 3...
Most of the quoted velocities you see in the manuals are corrected to actual muzzle velocity. If you place your chronograph 15 feet from the muzzle for instance, and don't correct to actual MV that will account for part of the difference. The rest of the difference is just in the variables the...
I'm using:
IMR 4831sc
Fed 215
Nosler 165 or 180 BT
W-W brass
Shooting right around MOA with either bullet, my chronograph is out for repair so I can't give velocity.
I haven't really done much load development since I intend to re-barrel to 7mm WSM in the near future.

When you start the purchase process the system puts the tags you request on hold. If you don't complete the process for what ever reason the tags go back on the list. I know this because last year I was trying to use my debt card to buy tags and kept getting the transaction refused. Who knew...
