As I said above don't trust anything related to success rates, % 4 pt, or any other harvest related data in the digest. I worked for CDFW for a bit and know better after that short stint!

I guided for pigs for 12+ years and still have a couple depredation projects I'm working on. Pigs are so tied to private property in CA for a variety of reasons that IMO it doesn't make sense to hunt them on public land. My opinion is to figure out what it would cost you to go on a public land...

Success rates reported are some sort of an estimate. Elmer Fudd and I know someone that has a DBHS in CA years ago and he didn't fill his tag. The CA digest the next year showed the success was 100%. Personally I don't trust anything related to success rates, % 4 pt, or any other harvest...

You're pretty lucky drawing those tags! I'm the opposite. I never draw raffle type tags, but I have drawn 3 pronghorn tags, 2 deer tags, and 1 cow elk tag in NV over the years in the regular draw.

Yep, I agree with that. Bull elk tags in NV have draw odds that look like sheep odds. I'm at 22 pts for sheep and elk in NV and I doubt I'll ever draw either of those tags.

The squared system worked pretty good 20+ years ago. These days there are so many people applying that it's IMO not working as well as before.

I too started reloading in the last 3 to 4 years. IMO I would not buy a reloading kit as it'll have stuff you'll never use and won't have certain things you'll need. If I was going to mainly load for a magnum rifle I probably wouldn't buy any reloading gear until I could source at least 2k or...

I've had three different Ram 2500s and all with the Cummins. Two were 2005s and my current one is a 2018. I sold one of my 2005s to a buddy and he just turned over 400k miles and has never had a problem. In all three that I've owned (and sold) they've totaled over 600k and only real issue...

I picked up a new Honda Pioneer 1000-5 last summer for a couple hunts in UT and WY. Added a windshield and a mid panel to keep the wind and dust down. We used it on our WY 128-1 tags last year and even with the half doors we did fine. So far I really like it and starting to consider selling...

I talked to them last year and if I remember correctly they said they'd stay out in the field in camps or at their facility 40-50 miles north of Ely.

I'd go with Timberline personally for a few reasons. Main one is the fact that they don't have clients stay in hotels. I personally want to be camped in the general area where we'll be hunting and not driving 3 to 4 hours every day driving back and forth from Ely to the hunting locations.

I'm sure many of you got this email from Midway too. Dear Customer, We are now able to legally ship ammo directly to most retail Customers in California. Place your order at MidwayUSA.com using the same process as you would for any other non-serialized product. If the situation changes, and...

The 143 gr Hammer Hunter in the 7-08 would be a good combo. My 280 ai loves them!

Buckhorn has firsthand experience on hunts on both the Oak Creeks and Pauns. If you want to discuss my Pauns muzzy hunt shoot me a message here on MM or on FB.
