Spotting scope vs bino's
I agree that even a compact 25-40 power spotter is a key in open land hunting. Even with only a 3-9 for taking shots and 10x binos for scanning, it's priceless to be able to look into pockets or clusters of vegetation with a spotter. I picked up a pretty decent one for around 250 on sale I... -
Range finding reticles
We're not allowed scopes on smokepoles in WA so I'm not sure about those, but a good BDC reticle seems useful a few of my friends have them and like them alot. I still have the standard duplex in mine other than a turrets on my 22-250 and don't have much trouble with holdover. I think it just...- SWWA_Ben

I guy at the archery shop where I shoot actually set up a microphone system because of animals reactions to his arrows. His primitive tests showed that their was a significant drop in noise when he switched to the smaller vanes and at 40 yards a split second movement by an animal can mean the... -

Soaked in Milk?
I've done this with duck, put a bunch of breasts in a bowl and fill it up with milk, usually ate it the next day. I don't mind duck, but some people that don't like how gamey it is really liked it after the milk soak. I'd say try it and see what you think...oh and I have no idea if I have the...- SWWA_Ben

I went with the Remington 700 VLS
Nice pick, then again I'm a big Remington fan, my go to rifle is a 700 RMEF in 7RUM with a 4-10 x 44 zeiss conquest and it's a great setup, I have a couple Leupold VX-III's, a nikon monarch, and the zeiss conquest and they are all great scopes, tough and water-tight, I've never had good luck... -

every bow hunter should
Only time I've come close to that was sitting in a wooded creek bottom in central Montana during a windstorm. Something sent about 20 deer all running right passed the tree I was sitting in. I agree by the time I stopped looking at what was happening confused I remembered I was hunting :D -
Mountain Goats- The Hunt of a Lifetime
That story was great, really made me think more seriously about trying harder to draw a goat hunt. And I'd bet that even with your optimism you never would have guessed that your taxidermist couldn't pulled all that off. Congrats on the goat, and great job selecting a taxi.- SWWA_Ben

Anyone hunt Eastern Oregon Mulies?
I'm more or less looking for a spot and stalk desert style mulie hunt, hunting the thick brush of western Washington for blacktails really wears you out after a while. -
Anyone hunt Eastern Oregon Mulies?
I remember some nice 32"+ mulies my friend's dad use to bring home every year after hunting eastern Oregon a few years back. Don't know how hard of a draw it is or if the hunting is still as good. If anyone has any experience with this area let me know. I'm trying to gets my plans together... -
camo patterns?
I haven't got to hunt antelope yet, but I always thought the Marpat digital camo issued to me by the Marine Corps matched up well with the areas where I've seen goats while deer hunting in MT. -

2010 DIY Whitetail Hunt
I know I've had to enter my hunter education number to apply for a few different states and when buying an otc tag in montana a few years back they needed to enter it before giving me my tag. But other than that I believe it's recorded by them and once the tags are issued there is no need to...
