Not sure how much i can help but hunted unit 20 once. Lots of private land with limited and land locked public. There are some big bulls that come out of estes but having access to private is key! B

I agree with you. "ethics" means something different to each hunter. Having said that, we all need to be prepared for a strong drop off in opportunities throughout the west; tag allocations, draw odds decrease, point creep etc. in most cases, high success rates and high opportunity rates do...

At what distance is it shooting vs hunting? I'm not here to judge as there are some bad ass shooters out there that can hit a dime at 1k yards; I'm not one of them. But we as hunters need to come up with some sort of play book for this kind of stuff as technology continues to improve. The...

You're response and general disposition is more of a reflection on you than anyone else's reading comprehension.

If adults have no chance, isnt it worth talking about then? they're still taking money from people (adults) who didnt read the fine print and put in for the draw. Seems like a worthy conversation to have on a forum.

Hawkeye, I get where you're coming from but when you're gaining point, you're also gaining expectations. Expectations don't always meet reality. that doesn't necessarily equate to "entitlement". In theory, the more points the unit takes to get, the more people that want a tag. The more...

we found one. thanks though. B

He could have max points and not be guaranteed a 190. He could also go to zero point unit and bag 190+.

No dice for me. crud

Look to hire one for a public speaking event. Message me if you know of one that has a hunting background. Not required but wouldn't hurt if they did. Thanks, B

Please use the correct punctuation at the end of your sentence. Your first sentence should end with a question mark, not a period. Fix your mistake. Hahahaha.

unfortunately, it's the trend and it's not going anywhere. Buy more, buy frequent, and spend spend spend. hunting shows are now one long advertisement.

Two cow elk. They’re e gone after the first season. I’d save your money.

He was on that but that was A meat eater production.

Not sure if this was for me but no. Had one that was interrupted by elk hunters and the other spooked before I could get the gun on him. Saw some other 120/130 that we passed on the last day.

I concur. Hunted it last year and agree and confirm with everything that has been said. It’s a two or three point unit at best. Too many doe and elk hunters. Very few mature deer. Only saw two that were “shooters”.

He now has a new podcast. The Hunt quietly podcast. Very good perspectives from the other side of the fence.

Not yet but plan on it. I’ll keep you all posted once I do

There's a price to pay for getting on private land now. after what i experienced on public land in CO, I'll pay to play. But 8k is a lot for a deer hunt. Unfortunately, there's no shortage of rich guys willing to pay it and the price just keeps going up and up. if I'm paying 8k, I'll pay a...

it's the overlapping doe season and otc elk hunters that really made it a hard pill to swallow. waited 10 years for a marginal (at best) hunt quality. I'd put my experience in 22 at a 0-3 point unit.

same story. hunted second season and it was a struggle.

thanks for the info guys. I don't have any ammo and don't believe my pap modified this at all. I just assumed with the Japanese's writing on the stock, it was the way he found it. I'd love to shoot it but I believe those days are long gone for this gun. :) I've had it since the mid 80's...

My Pap brought this back from WWII. Any idea what gun this is or it’s worth. Japan Thanks, B

i'd say you had one hell of a year. nice bucks!

Agee with el gringo. Perfect for out t o 600. It took me some time to get used to the fixed reticle but it’s a great scope. The swaro ballistic app is great tool as well. I’ve moved to the turret and like it better. I also am perfectly fine with keeping it. Very few scopes rival swaro glass...

I also have a Z3 4-12X50mm with the BRH Reticle

thanks for the insight. appreciate all the responses. B

The poly tip is slightly tilted just a hair.

4 horse looks pretty sweet. They shoot some dandy’s but they are $7500. Pricey as well. Did you hunt with them?

Full load and everything felt normal. It was a frontal shot, quartering to. just right of the brisket/neck and in between shoulder. Bullet was lodged in the opposite shoulder. It wrecked a lot of internals and killed him quickly. Ran about 80 yards. Just never thought the bullet would...

Recovered this from a deer shot at 50 yards. Horady monoflex sabots. Looks damn near perfect.

Kimber Hunter. very accurate and light. I've tried accubond (hand loads), game changers (hand loads), noslter etips (factory), shoots sub moa with all three.

Do you have any contact for these guys?

Looking for suggestions for a mule deer outfitter. I have 7 pts now but will have 9 by the time this comes to fruition. Not really keen on G or the high country (I suffer from altitude sickness) so considering other units. I also dont want to fight resident hunters on public (did that this...

they used to be around 3k. I wouldn't even pay that after hunting 22 this year with all the doe and elk hunters to deal with. No freaking way. I'd go with an outfitter on private land.

06 all day long. 165 accubonds

Hunted second season unit 22. Couldn't believe how many doe hunters we ran into. and yes, they were whacking and stacking. First, I don't think doe should be killed when a state is under their targeted population objective, second, the state should recognize that buck tags are taking a...

Pretty cool offer man. I’ll be there for second season. Too bad you’re not going to be there then. I’d have a cold one waiting for you at camp.

What about NW part of the state?

Great buck. Congrats!!!!
