Planning Nebraska Sandhills Muley Hunt
Thanks man! We’ve been hunting unit 62 in CO. I’ve harvested some decent bulls there through years but never drew a deer tag. When I was younger, the deer were everywhere. My dad has taken some great bucks, but the past 4 or 5 times we’ve gone (over the course of 10 years or so) the deer...- Chase McGill

Planning Nebraska Sandhills Muley Hunt
Hey y’all. Me and my best friend are looking to try something new this year or next. Been doing CO elk for a while and love it, but just want something different. A friend suggested a Nebraska Sandhills hunt. Wondered if anyone here had done one and had any suggestions for us. Open to all...- Chase McGill

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
Got it done in Unit 62 in CO yesterday. Was with three other guys and we all tagged out. Not my biggest bull but by far my hardest fought hunt and the one I’m most proud of, especially since the three other guys were my lifelong friend and his dad, and my dad. The first bull went down at...- Chase McGill

Thermals
I hear ya. I really never “know” where they are but I’ve definitely been making better guesses about where they are because of what Randy says about elk bedding on the top third of the ridge and more specifically on 20 degree slopes. If you can locate those areas on your map, you can kinda play...- Chase McGill

Thermals
That was kinda my question too. Been experimenting with it in the whitetail woods here in TN. The mornings I’ve stopped right around the top third of the ridge where they like to bed and waited to finish the hike until a few minutes after first light have paid off. It’s all circumstantial I...- Chase McGill

Thermals
Been working on really using thermals over the last 3 years or so and it’s definitely helped me make kills I like wouldn’t have made before. But I’m left with 2 questions. 1. many times, I’ll get to my spot before first light. Typically, I know where they’re bedding so on a morning hunt, I’ll...- Chase McGill

Turkey Shotgun
I’ve shot an 870 12 ga my whole life and it’s always done well, but I won a Benelli 20 ga at an NWTF banquet this year.. I put a jebs 555 choke on it, and a Burris fast fire 3, and strictly use Apex Ammunition tungsten. It is amazing. Made a 1 shot clean kill at 71 yards on the last day of this...- Chase McGill

Sons first Pronghorn
That’s awesome. Hunts with my dad are some of my favorite memories. I’ve got 2 daughters now and one on the way, and took my 2 year old turkey hunting with me this past year. To my surprise, we ended up calling 2 gobblers into shooting distance but I didn’t shoot cause I didn’t want to scare...- Chase McGill

Never Seen Damage Like This - Warning *Graphic*
I had very similar damage happen on a whitetail doe using some older Winchester ballistic tips I had in a 300wm when I was younger. Switched to a hornady precision hunter a few years back and it’s been a lot less messy. It’s still fairly ugly just cause it’s a 300 but better.- Chase McGill

Fresh Tracks Lessons Learned?
I’ve learned how to enjoy hunt not just the 4 or 5 days I’m there, but with e scouting months beforehand. We’ll see if it pays off in a few weeks!- Chase McGill
