I haven’t been a student of Weatherbys and came across what appears to be a pretty good deal and would really appreciate a little help. Tonight I found an older used 300 Weatherby Mark V with a Zeiss classic Diavari scope for $650. The stock shows some wear, but is still in pretty good...
Quick background: I have bought a Kuiu Icon pack in 2013 (a year before they came out with the Icon Pro and Ultra lines) and have been pretty happy with the performance. In that time I have packed out multiple animals a year and never had any probelms or worry about the frame. In December, while...
I'm new to Colorado and still getting up to speed on local politics. I have read through BHA Q&A with both candidates, but would still appreciate some insight from my other HTers. I do feel like Polis spent more time thinking as a sportsman and Stapleton is throwing all outdoor recreation in the...
Has anyone hunted Wyoming Elk Unit 25/27?
I have done some searching through the older posts and this same question has been posed, but there has been very little response in return. I am hoping that in the last couple years more info has become available. I would be interested in your...
I hesitate to ask this question, because I know there are a number of people on this forum who are not fans of Kuiu, but I have had great luck with their stuff and the prices is pretty good. They are having a deep sale on some clearance items that I have had my eye on, namely the Kenai insulated...
I can't imagine that I am the only Hunttalker that has received marketing emails from scouttohunt.com. I havent paid much attention because I subscribe to GoHunt.com, until something caught my attention and decided to see how they differ. Scouttohunt is a scouting service where they provide you...
I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen a thread on this topic already. I know that many of us are not the biggest fans of how things are run in Utah, but I would really like to hear from my fellow Hunttalk members on how this should be viewed. Perhaps I have been too hard on the Utah DWR...
I would like to set up a guided float trip for my wife and father in-law. My father in-law's health isnt the best and his mobility is limited. Year before last the two of them floated the Green below Flaming Gorge (they had a blast) and I thought it would be nice to set them up on the Miracle...
For all you super scouters out there, I am curious how much weight you put into the listed trophy potential when selecting a unit. If you are deciding between two elk units and one is listed with a trophy potential for 320 and the other 330, does that even factor into your decision? I'm not sure...
What ever happened to this? I looked at the thread and Randy also mentioned this in one of the podcasts. I'm afraid to ask this, because I'm sure I missed something, but spent over an hour looking for the thread. I even searched every thread started by Big Fin over the last six months. I have...
I have been really enjoying the old OYOA episode and I noticed that Big Fin used his Montana Decoys a fair amount those first couple of years. I don't think I have seen him use that tatic in some time. Is there a reason besides the opportunity hasn't presented its self?
Quick background:
Two years ago I shot a cow with a 250 gr Powerbelt Aerotip and 100 grains of powder. She was standing broadside and hit her on the back side of the front shoulder. She ran off before I could get a 2nd bullet in her. After searching for a couple hrs we realized we were going to...
I'm hoping a few forum members would be willing to help out a western hunter that is really struggling with his first whitetail hunt. I spoke with a few guys from work that lived in the Black Hills years ago and their directions have proven to be fruitless. The last two days we have started...
