If I were 17 and shared your goals, I'd apply in Idaho for moose in a small bull type unit with decent NR odds, and save to buy a Dall sheep hunt in AK. I'll bet you a beer you'll hunt both in 20 years.
I didn't see it posted, below is the department response to the UL proposal:
Department Response: The department appreciates the proposed amendment’s attempt to address sheep management and harvest concerns. However, the commission does not have the authority to direct the department to use a...
I have a pair on order through a Sig discount code I had. Should be here soon. I normally rotate between 8x and 12x NL's (both with tripod) based on the hunt. I played with the first gen Zulu6 and the stabilization tech was incredible. The glass needed to be improved. I played with the updated...
I'm heading directly to JBLM from this trip in WA so trying to get all the logistics figured out now. I'd like to not have to freeze it or deal with it there until I'm back in MT a few weeks later.
Are there any taxidermists in the Havre, Big Sandy, Chinook area (within hour or so) that can boil/clean a skull on a quick turn around? Ill be rifle hunting and would like to boil and clean a bull skull before departing from the Havre area this fall. I could bleach later, but would like to have...
I have a tag this year that will be heavily reliant on block management in the first part of the season. I was thinking of bringing along a case of whiskey and leaving a whiskey bottle and a thank you note on the door steps of any of the properties I'm fortunate enough to use. Anyone ever done...
Usually run a Slik 624. Have a Tricer BC on order though to drop a little weight. I really like the idea of the thickest tripod legs on the bottom and smallest on top that the Tricer offers. Also have a Suriu ST-124 that is great if I need to shoot from it and be relatively light, and a Feisol...
As someone who has never killed any of the big three (and a sheep tag is my life dream), I'd turn in every point in every state if it meant my son would have better/equal footing when he's old enough to hunt and as a young adult. I cringe when I think about where he will be at point wise even...
I'm in the L5/S1 camp as well. Had a massive rupture and due to a previous injury that formed a calcium wall, the ruptured disc had nowhere to go but my nerve space. Lost complete motor function of my right leg almost immediately. Tried to avoid surgery but had to have it finally 7 days in. I'm...
I have run the Phoneskope, Magview, and Ollin individually and together in the same glassing session. Much prefer the Ollin. I sold my Magview after just a couple glassing sessions, just wasn't for me. The Ollin is fantastic. Running it on a Kowa and Swaro with great fit. Just so simple you...
TBAC Ultra 5 (6.5mm bore) on a 22" 6.5 SAUM. Recoil is less than no muzzle device, more than a good brake. I think it's hearing safe for hunting shots outdoors. I still wear earpro for everything but hunting.
