    Bighorn mtns type 9

    Guys, I would like to hear anyone's experience in the bighorns on a type 9 tag hunt? How crowded it was? Did you enjoy the hunt? Would you apply again if had the points? I should be able to draw this season and would like to hear the pros and cons of the Bighorn mtns bow hunt for elk. Thanks

    10x vs 12x binos

    since you have 8x already i would say go 12x. i have used my 12s as my primary for a long time. i have 10s and 8 also, i use the 8x when bow hunting or timber hunting 12s for everything else. my 10s are a backup or loaner pair. FOV is one of the biggest things i notice as difference on tripod...

    32 Hour Blacktail Hunt (What Would You Do?)

    i have had good luck still hunting timber also. problem i have as of last 10yrs is that by the time any reprod is getting close enough to good feed and deer using it, its time to be harvested again. my old hunting zones have been expanding just for this reason. clearcut hunting is ok but i dont...

    Bulls Taken in 2020 with what bullet and caliber combos?

    was this towards me? if so the builder provided me with a H1000/195gr Berger combo. shoots nice, but no animals yet to give a terminal report. i do like my 485gr black eagles with 100gr strykers

    Bulls Taken in 2020 with what bullet and caliber combos?

    my opinion is that any of the magnums or larger diameter bullets, heavy also just give us more room or margin for error on our shots. many elk have passed from less traditional elk cartridges 250 savage,257 roberts,30/30,32 spl, 25/06, 270, the list can go on and on. i have used a 270 winchester...

    i want to say no. but i believe that many places are going to require proof of vaccinations for our own travels? then it will put another burden on a guy to decide.

    draw weight ??????????????????????

    like many have already said 50-60# can be plenty. the performance of our newer bows far exceed what we used to use late 80s early 90s type stuff. it was pointed out about broadheads with not huge cutting diameters or steep angled cutting surfaces. keep shots to better angles than some of the...
