2021 Wyoming bull

Please stop. 'The range of motion strains muscles....' ??? WTF are you talking about? Bench press can be hard on some people's shoulders for sure but 'the range of motion' absolutely isn't straining people's muscles. For reference, I'm 53 and benched 408 in a competition just a few months...

Then how far is the nearest rest stop up the highway??? ;)

Hunted with a Rem 721 30-06 for many years that my dad's father bought him new back in the early 50's and he eventually gave to me in '82 to shoot my first mule deer at age 12. Killed many deer and elk with that before getting seduced in my early 30's by a 300 win mag and now countless other...

5 1/2 too long? ;)

What makes you say that? I've been shooting 215 Bergers in my 300 WM along with tons of other guys and getting 2900+ with no problem. Not 'nuclear hot' by any stretch of the imagination.

Throat shot? Hmmm.....definitely interesting choice of shot placement, regardless of whether or not that was the only choice. Most guys would pass that up but you made it work.

Sorry, but that camo pattern is hard to even look at. Bash Kuiu and Sitka all you want, but at least most of their stuff also comes in solids so I can wear it outside of hunting trips and not look like a complete redneck.

I'd have to agree with this. I've heard some really great reviews of the Aero action and will likely be building a new rifle off this action in the near future.

Just wrapped up a 3rd season hunt here and the summer like weather I'm sure didn't help anything. 50+ degrees every day we were there. First three days saw nothing but lots of cow hunters, moose, and bighorn sheep. Finally saw a bull with some cows on the morning of day 4 but he quickly gave...

Wearing a pack with a waist belt?

Where's everyone packing the pistols? I just can't come to terms with one of those chest rigs underneath my bino chest rig being very comfortable. Seems something on my packs waist belt or shoulder strap would be better but I'm curious to hear what you guys are liking.

There is/was a public range just outside the private part of the COSSA (Central Oregon Shooting Sports Assoc.) east of Bend roughly 15-20 minutes off Hwy 20.

Get a Terminus action with a 60 degree bolt throw. Problem solved.

Wanted to check out who this piece of work it so searched for him on instagram. Not shocked to see his account is private. @muleyfreakerik 'Inspiring the next generation' ............. of poachers it seems.

That bull is a STUD regardless of score. Length, mass, character - he's got it all!!! Congrats on such a great experience.

Down to one blind for sale.

2 brand new Xenek ground blinds in DSX camo pattern. They are both 'blems' (All blems carry a full warranty on the hubs and rods but no warranty on fabric or stitching). One was taken out of the box and set up in the living room and looked to me to be in perfect conditions. The other is still in...

Yes

You'd have to travel the whole state to see 100 bucks, even this time a year! And you're right - my bad! Didn't see your '+' in there. :-)

Better than 90%??? You're saying if you see 10 Oregon bucks, 1 will be as good or better than that one??? I think you might have meant 99%.

Just curious - how many special youth hunts did you go on as a kid? I'm 51 and a life long Oregonian. Have lots of diehard hunting friends. I don't think a single one of us ever went on a special youth hunt as kids. If the hunting in general didn't suck balls, maybe youth would be more...

And what's OHA's stance on things these days? Seems like they've always pushed for "opportunity" over quality, and that's exactly what we've got these days. The opportunity to hunt but virtually zero hope of it being a quality experience. With OHA seemingly one of biggest hunter advocate...

$300 charge. Looks like I'll be chasing Coues right after Christmas!

No state should follow anything ODFW does. Ever.

It gets real when that tag actually comes in the mail. I got mine earlier this week as well.

I'd expect as much from Oregon, but this is Arizona! I HAD higher expectations of them. :giggle:

Exactly! The only way this BS statement would make any sense is if their 'system' was a bunch of people manually processing all these applications. To imply that this increase should affect their computer system is laughable. Own up to whatever the hell is going on instead of lying to your...

It's not a UPS Store/Biden thing. Those UPS Store basstards have been anti-anything gun related for years. I've made the mistake a couple of times trying to be 100% transparent about what I was shipping with them only to end in loud arguments. Now, it's all 'sporting goods' or 'microscopes'.

That is in the town of Cannon Beach and those elk are in and around town all the time and often seen right on the beach and even out in the shallow surf. There's a creek that dumps into the ocean right where they were that during high tides, especially the King tide series they experienced...

Have you looked at the draw reports? Lots of info on this link: Draw report

Awesome story!! With max NR points, 62 has been on my radar for years and this certainly helps make it even more intriguing.

Yeah, we need details!! Looks like you didn't end up with horses after all. Any bear issues? Congrats!

There's a limit to just how good wild game can taste. A poster above pointed it out and it's all about fat. Fat is flavor. Why do you think good wagyu beef costs so much? It's not because it's as lean as an elk or deer backstrap. I eat a lot of deer, elk, and antelope every year. I enjoy...

deadibob and travishunter3006 have provided some solid advice. But it also sounds like you're looking for advice on what distance to zero your rifle. If you're not going to go all long-range hunting PhD level shooting, I'd recommend reading up on Max Point Blank Range. You'll need to learn...

Unfortunately the area we concentrated on last year, including where my buddy shot a really nice buck, seems to have been cooked. But like you said, there's a big chunk of the unit that looks untouched. Time to explore I guess.

I had the any bull tag back in 2012 so it'll be fun getting back up there. Not nearly as much fun as that hunt was I'm sure, but still fun. Went from 65 Wednesday before the season to 8" of snow Friday night that year. Be prepared for anything.

I drew the same hunt as a second choice. The stats speak for themselves - 16% on spikes for sure isn't a great hunt, but I would guess, a good many of those 600 tags don't even hunt it. And for sure, if they do, they don't get off the road and really hunt hard. For me, it's cool country, good...
