    Hi Hunttalkers, I'm interested in burning my Wyoming elk points and I'm considering 4-5 different units. I started to save points 8 years ago when the unit I've been applying for only took 5 points to draw...now it takes 11 and it seems I'm not really catching up. I have hunted that unit 3...

    1980's Winchester 70 question

    Let me preface this post with the fact I've never been a great rifle shooter and I'm looking for y'all for some insights. I have had a 1980's era Winchester model 70 in 30.06 for many years and it has served me well. I have taken many deer and a few elk with it. It was my first big game rifle...

    WTB Large Rifle Primers

    HI HuntTalkers, Kind of a longshot but does anyone remotely close to Sacramento, California have any large rifle primers they would be willing to sell me? I only need about 100 to load up some .308. I'm willing to drive for them up to an hour or two. Thank you, Joe

    Old Barn Improvements

    Hi Hunt Talkers, I just returned home to California from my farm in Indiana. This trip was all about fixing a brewing problem and I'm glad I got that monkey off my back. I purchased the farm from a family member 2 years ago that has severely neglected basic maintenance on the 100 year old...

    Indiana Deer Season

    For all 2020's problems, deer season at my Indiana Farm was not one of them. Even though I mostly hunt in the west I always make the trip back to Indiana every year to archery hunt whitetails. This was my 32nd year hunting the family farm. 3 of us left California on 11/7 and came home heavy...

    AZ Archery Elk Hunt Report 2020

    Let me start by saying this was one of my favorite hunts I have been on that did not result in meat in my freezer and I'm still not sure how I didn't come home with a bull.

    Range finding Binos vs handhead rangefinder for archery?

    HI HTers, I'm considering purchasing a pair of rangefinding binocular, probably Vortex Fury due to price mostly. While I do use my rangefinder for both rifle hunting and archery, archery sees a lot more rangefinder use for obvious reasons. Seems like most archery hunters use a separate...
