    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    That unfortunately doesn’t surprise me at all.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    Absolutely! Too many from all different points of view have a me over the resource kind of attitude. If more on each side would focus a bit more on the actual resource, finding a middle ground would be much easier.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    I think changing tags to being whitetail or mule deer specific could potentially make regional caps more useful. Wouldn’t necessarily have to be everywhere but I would imagine the vast majority of NR are targeting mule deer.

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    I was going to check that the next time I get out. Traditionally it has tracked pretty well for a leupold. I wish my budget could afford a step up.

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    I have been putting the height above zero I was hitting for sight height this whole time. 🤦‍♂️😂. What a dork. lol. That puts my numbers within .25 moa of what I’m seeing.

    Swift scirocco ii vs Copper

    Coopers are awesome out of a 257 weatherby at high speeds. 110 accubonds were pretty decent too.

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    That’s definitely way more in line with what I’m seeing. I’ve always used Hornady ballistics, but I’ll have to give that a go. Thanks for running that!

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    For the heck of it, I checked all the same data but with a barometric pressure of 24 and 30 at 2100 elevation where I live and it only showed a half inch difference at 300 yards. I’m certainly no expert though so interested in anything you guys can add.

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    I try a pretty large variety of variables to see if I’m missing anything. In this example, I’m shooting 160 accubond(bc of .531) at an average of 2890 fps with a sight in of 0-.5” high at 100 yards. Everything I check for different variables puts me at around 4” low at 200 and around 12” low at...

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    I do put in an average barometric pressure for our area. Can’t think of anything I’m missing but very well could be. This is mostly using Hornady ballistics.

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    I’ve only ever had 2 rifles with moa turrets. The other one has been so consistent since I sighted it in that i haven’t really compared. Groups in the rifle I previously mentioned are good too and it tracks well once I get moa figured out.

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    I have a garmin pro chronograph.

    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    Anyone had a rifle/scope setup that’s ballistics never match drop/moa? I have a 7mm with a vx 3 or 4 scope)can’t remember exactly which. I’ve shot 168 Bergers and now 160 accubonds. It’s always hit 1-2 moa higher than ballistics calculators say it should, especially from 300+ yards, with its...

    No wait on Suppresso’s?

    I also use earmuffs during practice but not shooting. I know people say they don’t reduce recoil, but it’s noticeable with mine, whether it’s the extra weight on the barrel or just the suppressor, my 6.5 prc kicks no more than my unthreaded 223. Not a heavy barrel either.

    Why I love labs

    We picked up this pointing lab 3 weeks ago in South Dakota. He’s 10 weeks now. Pretty excited for this guy with his demeanor in the house already as a puppy and how smart and trainable he is and very birdy as well. Can’t wait to introduce him to some pheasant hunting late fall when he’s a little...

    Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year

    The drought certainly is a major factor, but a lot of the habitat has been turned back into farmland as well. If you can get permission to hunt shelter belts 50 yards from farmhouses, you’ll have some amazing hunts starting 2-3 days after opener.

    Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year

    One more observation I have that’s relevant is that there has been a lot of upland habitat loss the last decade or so. For the first 5+ years after moving here, I could consistently grind out limits of roosters on large bma’s all season even with high NR pressure. There is so much less good...

    Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year

    With ND and SD already having done something very similar for some time, it became necessary. It’s still a long season with a lot of opportunity for NR to come and enjoy.
