    What did you get for Christmas guys?!

    I was just going to ask why you needed rain gear down in Arizona? o_O It isn't like I have ever been caught out there in the desert when it was needed.

    Bipod Help

    My problem is that if I am down and prone I can not get a good sight picture through the scope unless the shot is downhill. Any level or uphill shot and I am done for. Anymore I use a 13.5-27 just for shots where I can be sitting.

    field dress torque knives

    I actually pack a Leatherman that has a 3 1/2-4" sawblade that will go through it almost as fast. But the majority of the time when I am gutting a deer sized animal or a elk I'll just cut around the b-hole and pull it out from the inside. But the last 3 or 4 elk that I have done I have just...

    field dress torque knives

    I went and looked at a video of it and think that I'll just keep using my old knifes. It seamed like he had more trouble opening up the gut cavity than he really should of. The only real advantage that I saw in the short piece of the video was if you cut open the pelvic area to get the turd...

    If humans were scored in Boone and Crockett ?

    I don't think that either one of them have scored in a very long long time.

    Bullet Preference for Savage 111

    Most new rifles are actually better shooters right out of the box than older ones were. You can thank modern machinery and fit for that. My Weatherby Vanguard in 25-06 shot a sub moa group with its first 3 shots and factory Hornady ammo. Now with reloads it shoots even better. It took quite...

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    I had a friend who did that. Between him and his wife they maxed out three CC's and then paid them off with a 2nd mortgage on their home. It wasn't 4 months later that those CC's were maxed out again

    If humans were scored in Boone and Crockett ?

    A lot of animals are judged by their bulk and weight.

    Bullet Preference for Savage 111

    I'd still take a look at the Federal Fusion line of ammo 130 to 150 grain bullets. Hornady is also good

    Bullet Preference for Savage 111

    What cartridge? On a wild guess I'll say a 7mm0-08, am I close? I would start with some Federal Fusions in 140 grains for that cartridge.

    2020 Big Game Application Book is On Line

    https://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/2020_biggameapp.pdf A couple of the big changes are loosing points if you purchase a tag that was only available in the draw OTC and surrendering a tag before the season starts. That and a new 5 year waiting period on deer instead of the 2 years. However...

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    If you are carrying a balance on your CC because of a animal tag you are a fool. I watch forums all the time when on post pay applications they use a debit card and when the draw happens the card is rejected because of not enough funds on it.

    Something more to ponder during application periods

    It just goes to show that if you can't afford to put in for the draw then don't. Colorado required the money up front for many years with the application period being around the first of April. Then the draw wasn't until June so it was close to 2 1/2 months of having the money tied up at the...

    Class

    Usually when someone says that they saw a 170 class deer means that they saw one that would score around 150. As for a "170" class deer he could go anywhere from 160-180 in my book. Judging a deer without a tape measure on him is rough even for the experts.
