Copy thanks. My friend had his elk hunt info by this time last year so I was getting nervous.

Hi Guys I'm a little late to the game but my buddy let me know there was a thread going on this hunt. My daughter got this tag as well and we have received nothing. I was vetted for last season when I helped out on an elk hunt but forgot to redo it so that's in the process, I got my guns...

Sweet thanks we’ve never taken an animal in August so the heat is a concern to me maybe a little more than it needs to be but I want the meat safe. Do you travel in the field with ice ready to go or just haul ass out of there once you have it opened up and gutted.

My son drew a unit 56 youth antelope and he’s grinning ear to ear at the thought of heading out. We do not live in the area but are looking forward to the hunt. Looking for some town info hunter friendly hotels, restaurants, ect. Also what should I expect the weather to be in August in that part...

The recoil in mine with a 25" barrel is same as a 30-06 I shoot 140 grain TSX's at 3000 fps .050 off

I keep coming back to this to see if there are any pics I guess not

I've seen a lot of great responses and advice in this forum in the past but on this I feel like everyone is off a bit. I have a gun that loves IMR 4831 that being said pressure accuracy and speed go up in the crapper if it gets too far into the 80?s. IMR is temp sensitive and it will affect your...

Specialty meats off El Norte parkway in Escondido is who I use.

I had a 30-06 that shot them very well but not so much in my other calibers

Had that hunt 2 years ago missed a mature bull one night in a deep nasty hole that I think my sub conscious missed on purpose and connected on a smaller bull the next morning. I saw a couple bigger bulls across canyons. It I hadn't brought any repelling gear or a helicopters

I would try a box with the Barnes TSX or the hornady GMX I shoot a .280 ai that I built just for copper and the 140 TSX shot better than anything else I know your running a .270 but that's all I can offer you right now I shot a deer last year in Utah and it was a through and through with...

I know Utah does a 3x3 hunt in one of their trophy units that's what we need. Or we could just require copper bullets and outlaw killing mountain lions I'm sure that will help.

Bones that pic was on a .280 ai I was just getting dialed in I tried H4831 and H4350 without success.I tried the IMR 4350 at the recommendation of Barnes and it worked but at temps in the high 80's and into the 90's everything goes to crap. Not saying that you'll hunt at those temps but if your...

It was a nice trip home dropped off my skull in In Summit at Kelly's taxidermy in Summit super nice guy. We were getting dumped on so I didn't cape him out but still wanted to do something with it. California law is the best thing for out of sate taxidermists we can't take brain matter across...

No factory ammo is a crap shoot with shells set to SAMMI specifications some rifles like the jump some don't you need to mess around with quite a few boxes of different stuff to see what it likes. I've watched David Tubbs videos and what he gave up in weighing charges he made up in weighing and...

Not necessarily its a whole package thing you're bedding could be dialed in and still have problems. Boxed ammo is always a crap shoot thrown and not weighed powder you just never know. Here's a pic of load development you can see how the rifle reacts to a load it likes. This is a custom gum...

Thank you Utah we had a great time in your state. I read these forums quite a bit and I know you guys have your frustrations with your DWR. Just remember it could be worse I live in San Diego and have to travel for almost every bit of hunting I do. I have to live on those memories all year long...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-28-16 AT 09:45AM (MST)[p]Once these guys are done bickering and hijacking your thread I'll give you my .02. Your gun may be very capable you just need to find the right load if your going to stick with boxed ammo you'll need to find what works keep looking around and asking...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-07-16 AT 08:03PM (MST)[p]Yeah right there's no bucks in the desert

I couldn't find what I needed online for my .280 ai and called them they were great and gave me some good info

Yes wives our wives notice where I mentioned we in the post I'm good but not that good.

Anyone have a bone report from the area. Can't wait to get up there again I didn't get a chance to scout there specifically but did some glassing on a family camping trip in the area and easily found quite a few deer all around us. Looking forward to the hunt last time we hunted there we got...

Wow thanks for the responses guys my buddy may have his daughter with us on the hunt if she doesn't fill her tag earlier so if that is the case I'll be getting away from the roads while they are trying to get an easy one for her first deer. I'll hold out for a big one as long as I can and I will...

i have a Panguich lake general deer tag this year and it will be my first time hunting the great state of Utah. It is a friend of a friend type of deal and I really don't know much about the hunt or area other than our acomidations will be a beautiful cabin near the Brian Head ski area. He's...

those look awsome and for $600 buck they better be I need to start saving my pennies now.

I tore my Achilles last year and I'm having some pain in my opposite foot Im working with the doctors on it but I find that a stiffer shoe helps. Need a good stiff boot to get back out in the Mountains what should I buy.

I tried the 130 GMX in my buddies .270 .030 off with some 4831 and couldn get them to fly very well I like to shoot far and based on ballistics and groups I wouldn't take it past 400 it was putting up 1.5" groups at 100 With that being said I'm finishing a build with all the good stuff trued...

I did but my phone broke and I haven't been able to recover pics.

I don't know anything about the barrels on a vanguard but i have been told with most premium hand lapped barrels the muzzle area will hold the most copper so don't get too discouraged its not necessarily an indication of the whole barrel. When I am cleaning a barrel I always run multiple wet...

Thanks for the reply I appreciate it hopefully we can find a nice buck.

We found some deer when dove/quail hunting with my kids in this unit last year so I put in and got a tag. I'm excited to hunt the desert does anybody know what to expect for deer quality or have any pics of deer taken in the past. I really don't know what to expect except for what I've seen...

Before anyone drops a ton of money on one of these scopes I just wanted to put something out about how horrible their customer service is. I posted up something on another website but since they were a sponsor it got yanked. I have a Greybull precision scope and really like the technology but it...

Hey guys me and my buddy drew 22S late bull tags I'll be coming off an achillies injury and I'm thinking it would be wise to look for a little assistance so I don't re-injur myself. We are going to start searching for a packer that can drop us of in some wilderness area for the duration of the...

We will be hunting 65 for third elk this year . It's about a 12 hour drive just to get to Grand Junction for us can anyone give us some travel tips looking for a pretty cheap motel for one night good places to eat not sure if we should push down to Montrose that first day or just stay in grand...

That's me go your PM thanks

I'm going out to visit my dad next week in Parker and I told him he couldn't take me fly fishing until we take the grand kids out. Is there anywhere around Parker that we could throw some bait and catch something for the grand kids?

I was traveling along the 40 yesterday going east I was about 40 min east of Kingman looked over to my left between the east bound and westbound lanes and saw two pigs I did a double take thinking they might have been Javies but then I saw a big cream colored one with black spots about 200. I'm...
