Do you really think I have an entitlement attitude? If you really think I'm an a******, let me know and I'll delete the link to this forum and disappear like a bubble. No-one talks about units anymore. I've started the walk down numbers and statistics lane - only 4 units will draw with less...

I decided to look at the 3500 Bushnell Elite and see that they have been discontinued. Do like that BDC reticle. Been looking at rifles - some of those plastic stocks are incredibly flimsy.

Thanks guys - don't answer. Might give something special away. LOL! Moving on.

After the concept of WY going to 10% and bumping Mule deer up to 550, mentioned it to a buddy and he wants to go next year. Seems like a good idea. With 2 pts should we look at units (maybe special draw) or general permits?

He looks like a 140s buck. Narrow rack, light on mass. Excellent eye guards. Lots of potential. Would be a monster if he could make it 1 or 2 more seasons. Would I shoot him? Yes. I almost shot a 3x3 his size, that buddy missed this past season, bottom forks were flattened, kinda...

I wonder how long it will take for WY to go to the 10% NR tags and bump the prices again. Some folks will quit the game but others will fill the spaces. The price increase does have it's bit in the overall scheme if things. I spent $400 this year for a mule deer and got a nice one. Spending...

Buy some points this year and go in with 1 point. WY is trying to pass legislation to give outfitters more permits for clients - might be a good year for you.

30-06 150 gr Sierra Pro Hunter at about 2900 fps, shot was 225 yards. Exit wound. He kicked at hit, flipped around slightly and that was it - distance traveled was about 2 feet.

LOL!!! :sneaky: I can relate to the my 2 yr old can shoot it and the it's made for a girl pics. Really do want a light recoil gun. Not into man buns at all - do I need to grow one to shoot the Creed? Thanks, DanP

I like stainless rifles and am notorious for not cleaning the bore. Use Flitz metal polish on outside... Simple solution is a bore snake. $10-$15 pet caliber and you are golden. Not a deep lead/coppet cleanse but enough to get the basic crap out. When I shoot for groups I will clean with...

Time to break out the hot pink safety garb!

Thanks guys. This is gonna be a shared rifle. Gonna have to get her somewhere she can heft a few. Few gun shops other than BPS around here since gander closed.

After some consideration, thought and looking at the ammo available around here - gonna run with the 6.5 CM for a new rifle. A little research showed that with similar bullets, the 6.5 CM and 7mm-08 are basically identical out to 500 yds. I just can't readily get the 7mm-08 ammo around here -...

I wish everyone the best in achieving their goals and seeing their desires fulfilled. Recently had a health scare with my mother and hope to be able to enjoy her presence for as long as the Lord allows. Hunting lease is currently getting clear cut that will allow for some tailoring of the...

I did look at some stocks but would need to find some to handle & see how they felt. We don't have many true gun places around here. Did do some downloading and missed the biggest buck I have shot at in 10 yrs with one such load. He was 200 yards. Bullet hit bull at 100 and figured 4-6 inch...

I'm not as die hard as many on here. Have 42 whitetail seasons under my belt, and do have some comments. Wanted to hunt out west since I was 12, about 40 yrs ago. Did first antelope trip in 2017 and worried about being in shape. Did a low point/low public land/high competition unit for does...

$300 Walmart tent. 10x12 Did okay w buddy heater on gas grill tank. Excellent above 15 degrees, tough subzero. They sell w wood stove jack now. You would get yourself out of tent IMHO. Easy up and down. Say 100# I'm guessing but I'm also 50. Had 4 Cots. 1 on back wall, 3 cross center...

Kidog. Another excellent post. We need to encourage the kids, teach em, and show an excellent example. My dad would rather not shoot, yet my uncle would shoot a doe w fawns in July. Who's example shines? Who taught hunter safety? My uncle. I've seen both sides of the fence and sadly...

Cowboy, you bring up a great point. Kids who don't have hunting parents... How do we equate years of watching mom and dad, learning by participating in an 8-12 hour class? All I can say is the kids whose parents included them since birth definitely have an advantage and are much more ready...
