We have played with seating depths, powder charge, and primers with barrels that didn't have enough twist. Its a pain!! We have got them to drive tacks at a 100 yards only to watch the group open up to 10" at 500. Then we just concentrated on our 500 group, getting to a 3" group at 500. Great...
We ran into a guy that said he was one of a couple guys who would pack out of that unit(40). I got his info, but after he said," I doubt you will get me as we are gathering cattle this time of the year". I lost intrest. Just an FYI if you draw 40. Plan on going in with camp on your back. No...
You will be fine. With deer it's all about water. Find the water, and you find the deer.
I think you may want to play with the onxmap on your phone. My son had it last year. It worked great with signal, but sucked without. Idk what the problem was, but he said, he didn't download all the maps...
Every state is different it seems. I guess the law makes sense, when a lot of guys would waste, or leave meat.
To an ethical guy, who knows what he is doing, it makes no sense at all.
We got creative the last time we smoked goose. Take a small piece of smoked goose. Add cream cheese & a couple jalapeno on top. Wrap with a slice of bacon, insert tooth pick/skewers & grill. Taste best with Budlight!
We did a combo in 2012. Don't do it unless you have either a lot of time, or some private. I'd suggest getting antelope doe tags with your bucks tags while building a few more points for deer. You guys will have a blast, and if you don't fill the doe tags your not out much money.
I know what you mean. I'm at 10, and don't know what choices to try! We differently got a curve ball this year. I do feel for the max and close to max point guy!
I like point averaging with family and friends. It helps the blue collar guy for sure.
When you see a guy do it year after year now that's just greedy. I definitely don't agree with that, and really don't know the solution. I'd hate to see it go the CO route.
I guess if there was a deal put inn...
I got 30 lbs from an 100 lb doe this year and thought I was doing something! That's deboned weight.
That's a lot of meat from one deer!
He doesn't look much over 200 if he even gets to 200.
Shellfish
The wife is a RN. She advised us, that if a guy is allergic to shellfish, then he is probably allergic to iodine to. So be careful of the iodine tablets if you are allergic to shellfish. The last thing we need is a reaction miles into no-mans land.
Lol Mike...It was actually my buddy's idea to have the deer cut.. We all were wore out on the next to last day of our hunt. He suggested," lets just drop this one off as I don't feel like quartering any more"! Lol Yea is was his turn as I had done the first 7 deer and antelope myself!
Lesson...
