When you head to Kansas in September, if you haven’t been before, take plenty of tick and chigger repellent and treat your clothes as recommended on the bottle. I was there last September and we were caught off guard by the amount of ticks we were finding. I don’t know what part of the state...
I’m a little late to party on commenting (found this thread on a different post), but to the people commenting on getting solid rest and food after/before a long drive is solid gold advice. I’ve pulled 24hrs drive west from VA and it blows, no way around it, follow that up with driving to your...
Checkout the Pine Ridge area of NE if you’re serious. I’m from VA & it was worth the drive and will be going back again. You will see a ton of “turkey hunters” on the road & in town but don’t let that bother you. We had a blast & the terrain is not terrible to get around on. It’s a cheap hunt...
Hey @WyoDoug, I have enjoyed reading your posts on antelope over the past couple years and some of your comments have been invaluable. So, hopefully I can be of some help to you. If you enjoy reading pick up a copy of Turkey Hunting: A One Mans Game by Kenny Morgan and The Old Pro Turkey Hunter...
I personally think that the warmer days we've had this month kept them moving at night. Three bears were shot this past week that I know of by some friends and they also agreed that their movement has picked up in the past week or so. Hopefully this upcoming cold front will have them moving even...
The only photos from hunting trips that I dislike are ones that portray hunters in a negative light. We’ve all seen those photos, but at the end of the day we can’t control what other people do. Me personally, I enjoy a good photo that shows a glimpse of the times I have cherished most with...
Yeah man, get after them. You can’t get them laying on the couch. Haha. I will also be hunting the early season with rifle. Hopefully we’ll both bring one home.
@badkarma6 I personally hunt in the southwest corner of the state. I can’t speak for the rest of the state, but I would try to capitalize on a bear during bow season. Most people get them with dogs, but a fair number of people take them with bows every October. I took this bear a few years ago...
A lot of good advise has been laid out already. My vote is to stay with a 1” tube. Personally, I have a 1” & a 30mm on the two rifles I shoot most. I like them both, but my preference is with the 1”. Not as much bulk & if you try to resale a 30mm scope for some odd reason it throws a red flag to...
