Awesome man!! Congrats to your brother on a nice buck!!!

Hey guys. Thanks for all the advice on my first muzzie hunt. I had a great time. Lots of laughs and a ton of deer. I ended up passing this buck up on Thursday holding out for a classic 4x4 but I couldn’t find one. I ended up shooting him the next morning. 200 yards. He dropped. He’s a great buck...

just ran the dry patch and cleaned the breech plug. Heading to Utah in the morning. Thanks for everyone’s help!

Well just got home. Fired one shot and put it in the case. I haven’t run a dry patch through it. I’m debating leaving it as is. Stick with the dry patch?

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. My previous experience with the gun I wasn’t running a dry patch through it and I wasn’t happy with my groups. CVA recommends a dry patch through between shots and also Brian on here does the same. So I did that for the first time yesterday and shot much...

Paranoia is setting in… I shot yesterday at the range. The gun was fully clean so the first shot was off which I expected. Shot 5 more after that. 3@100 and 2 @ 200. I decided to run a dry patch through after every shot. I ran a dry patch after the last shot and put it away. The gun shot really...

Thanks for the replies. Is the reason for the tape to seal the barrel from moisture or to keep water from entering? Or maybe a little bit of both? You can shoot right through the tape with no accuracy issues?

Hi guys, I’m looking for some advice. Looks like there could be some rain on my hunt. How do you guys approach that with a muzzleloader? I’m using BH which I’ve heard you may not need to worry about moisture? Should I get a rifle cover? Also- if I load the gun opening morning in my blind and...

When you run a dry patch between shots are you removing the breech plug to push the patch through? This is my last week to shoot before the hunt. I’m going to clean it. Right now I’m technically zero at 200. I’m still having accuracy issues. My first 2 or 3 shots are great and then it starts...

This probably a newb question but when you say you don’t clean the copper do you mean you don’t run a brush down the barrel but just run a dry patch? How many shots between cleaning the copper out? I’ve been using 105 grains measured on a scale. On this hunt my shot will probably be 200 yards...

Thanks for the info guys. My parts have been delayed until Monday. I’m going to replace the breech plug, bolt spring, and veriflame adapters. I will clean the gun and then get some shots in for testing and then I’ll put it away for the hunt. CVA sent me an email this morning that their...

Do you fire a primer to dry the breech plug before your first shot for the day? Do you notice your first for the day is off left or right?

Are you running a dry patch between shots like the manual suggests?

Are you using a muzzle brake? I was using the anarchy brake but I was finding pieces of the ELR skirt. I bought the arrowhead one but haven’t tried it. I don’t want to add any variables this close to my hunt.

That’s my fear. Are you talking about the arrowhead breech plug kit?

I have blowback on every shot. It really fouls the breech plug and adapters. My groups today.

Hello All. I need some advice from hopefully some paramount owners. I have Mule deer hunt coming up in 2 weeks. Here’s the deal…new gun, new scope. I’ve shot 4 times now and have about a 3 inch group at 200 yards. The shots that feels great usually are in the bullseye. The ones I may have...

Hi Everyone, I put in for region B deer. There are multiple hunts within that unit. Is it my understanding that if I get drawn, I can choose between the multiple hunts? Or are you putting in for a specific hunt and unit? Thanks, Ben

Thanks Fellas. I appreciate it! should be a good one!!!

We pulled out of the Utah draw and just got BP so we can have more time to scout. Her dad will do a ton of scouting and I will be joining him on most trips. We just need to figure out where our best option is since it's such a big unit. A friend of ours had a sheep hunt there last year and...

I'd say a 330 bull for a 12 year old is ridiculously great

We just pulled out of the Utah draw so we will be doing a lot of scouting. He was just up there on a sheep hunt so the area wont be totally foreign

Thank guys! I deleted my app and got a BP Looking forward to this hunt. AZ Early rifle elk unit 10. Only 40 tags. She drew with 1 point! Crazy

As the title says... I just got word that an amazing tag has been drawn by my best friends daughter. I will be putting all effort into that this year.

Thanks. Lucky kid. She shot a 5x5 on the 22 north thanksgiving hunt last year. It took us until the last day of the hunt.

My friend's 12 years old daughter got drawn for early rifle unit 10 with one point!!! How does that happen?! Has anyone had this hunt? If so, Any advice? Is the Big Bo ranch worth hunting?

My friend's daughter has the thanksgiving tag. Looking like rain Thursday and over a foot of snow Friday. That could make it interesting...

Thanks to everyone who replied. I wont post his name. He has done multiple mounts for my buddy and I over the years with zero issues. He called my buddy yesterday just to check in because he wasn't at the shop when I picked it up but I told the guy there there could be a problem. He made a...

Hello all, I was hoping some of you may have some experience with Antelope mounts. I just picked mine and my buddies mounts up this morning and it seems the hair just falls out with a light swipe like petting a dog. Is this normal. Mine isn't so bad but my buddies is really shedding. The...

That's not really an issue... The issue was just loading onto the back seat of my truck and there was hair everywhere.

Ok- Thanks guys. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to try to remedy this with the taxidermist or if this something I'll have to live with.

Does that mean we can expect CC hits today?

Thank you, that answers my second question. I wasn't sure about the order of the draw and if drawing a tag for one, would knock you out of the other.

Thanks for the reply. So I can go ahead and put in for my limited entry today and then wait for the other guys to put in on a group tag for general? How many points do you think it take for a non resident for limited entry?

I have a general draw question about the difference between Bonus and preference points. Am I able to put in for both General season deer and limited entry deer? Example- I put in for a general season Deer archery hunt. And then the same day apply for a limited entry deer hunt? Is that the...

Are you saying you got ripped off? A handwritten note doesn't sound like a very good scouting report. I know bigchino is a pretty legit outfitter. Their reviews are good. From what I have read advertised on GoHunt, you get a pretty in depth report. I have contacted JP through email and he...

Has anyone used Big Chino Guides? They offer a scouting package for $1000. it gives you maps, hunt areas, trail cam pics, and patterns. I was just wondering if anyone has used it and what they think?

I'm in the same boat. I'm itching just to hunt but I have already waited 5 years( I have a hunters Ed point). Same with Elk. Fortunately I get to hunt 3 times a year for AZ OTC bow plus I get drawn about every other year for Utah rifle Deer. I did WY antelope this year on a private ranch so...
