Any interest in sharing some wisdom with me? Feel free to pm if you would like. I keep reading that it’s amazing.

Resurrecting an old thread. My dad and I got lucky and drew the 2nd archery tag. We’re pumped. Already planning a scouting trip. Anyone have any tips on where we should start or areas to focus on.

Ya you make a great point. We fortunately are both in good shape. We did 12 nights worth of backpack high country deer hunting and probably 30-40 miles of hiking this seas, but dealing with 2 bulls in the thick stuff is a different story. I think we would choose DIY we would be likely to break...

Seems like the general consensus is 40 would be better. We are not expecting a record breaker but I think we would both prefer to have an opportunity at a bigger bull if possible. I have not extensively researched outfitters but it appears as though there are a couple that seems to be named...

My dad and I have 20 points saved and are wanting to hunt sooner rather than later. We had originally planned to try and wait for a unit 61 tag, we have spent a fair amount of time in the unit, but with point creep we still might be another 5-10 years worth of waiting. We’re trying to be done...

I want to hunt!

Not to hi-Jack a thread but my dad and I are in a similar situation but even less points. We have 18 which I feel is in no man’s land. Any suggestions of what we should do? My dad turns 66 this year and is still in pretty dang good physical condition butb afraid that could change any years. We...

I honestly forgot about this thread. I ended up gettting my CA mesa in a 300 win mag shooting factory Barnes 180gr TTSX. Zeroed at 200 yds shooting just under 1moa. I put over 150rds through it over the summer and shot very well out to 750yds. Beyond that was a little bit of a struggle depending...

Do you just have the one?

Check your pm

I have 2 Brand new boxes of ammo that my gun doesn’t shoot particularly well that I would like to sell. 70$/box.

I don’t neccesarily disagree with everything said. My goal is to get as close as possible but based on my previous shooting/hunting experiences a 700 yard shot is reasonable given the right circumstance. There are plenty of things to consider when taking that kind of shot. In the areas I...

It’s looks sweet, the problem will likely be ammo.

I totally agree on weight, I have a custom 7mm that’s 13 pounds and it shoots a 6-8inch group at 1000yds. With that being said it’s useless for hunting unless you can shoot out of the back of a truck. Interesting to hear that about Barnes, like I said before out to 500 they have performed...

Good to know, have you shot or had any experience with the t3x lite?
