Well, it’s taken 3 years to draw the unit in Southwest Montana my brother has hunted, and I hunted a lifetime ago. Unfortunately, he didn’t draw it. My life was an ever lovin’ shiz show for some time, but is epic now. Thank sweet baby Jesus.
The unit isn’t notorious for giants. It’s convenient. My goal is a mature buck. It would be awesome to kill something “ugly,” as Randy would say.
I’m putting together my kit and watching videos. I’m going to take @Big Fin ‘s Outdoor Class on Pronghorn.
I’m a pretty good western hunter and marksman. I’ll be using my ol’ 6.5 manbun (way better than a 7mm-0HT ) with some 123 grain Hammers over Varget. It’s shoots well below MOA groups all day (pic below). I am upgrading the Vortex Viper scope to a Vx5hd fire dot for funnsies. I’ll be carrying my Meopta Meopro Airs and Sig Sauer rangefinder, along with my Leupold Alpine spotting scope. I use a Sirui tripod for my binos and scope.
I’ve started e-scouting, and will be heading that way to scout via boots fairly soon. When hunting I’ll be pulling my camp trailer over for a minimum of 1 good chunk of time.
What are your tips, advice, and lessons? I’m hesitant to share the unit. I know some people get fired up, and I get that.
