Big or Bust

Mule deer... During the rut deer change their pattern somewhat. Doe herds are disrupted as they are hanging with bucks, etc.

I honestly think critters are harder to call these days with an e-caller... I've been hunting coyotes since Burnham Brothers were the best gig in town... Generationa of coyotes educated to Lightning jack...

It's been a mid day feed pattern for all critters for 2-3 weeks from what I've seen and trending to midday and evenings better than mornings...

I've seen the exact opposite in southern AZ... I'm seeing more pigs than ever in the usual spots and pigs in spots I've seen few... They all over...

Good guy bump! This is indeed a sweet truck!

If he's with girls, he ain't in misery...

That buck will be just fine I assure you ..

I agree with your placement comment....

I've glassed up two mulies with arrows in them.. That buck will be just fine...

Absolutely correct....

Yup... I know of three really big coues killed in the last 5 days....

Steal of the month...

No sir....

No experience with either of yours...

My rule on rangefinders is add 50 percent to the distance you want to actually range critters in the field. Companies test distances on hard objects not deer. For 800 yards in the field reliably every time, I'd run the Sig 1250 or 2000... If not, find you a Leica. I've got multiple of each.

That is about my load too Stomp in a 22" tube. Think I'm at 59.0 even in a 22" tube and am about at 2,825.

They'll stop during their hasty retreat after I've been busted with a bow and maul a barrel cactus. Then start their hasty retreat again. I'm talking big big boys.. See it quite often...grin...

Tikka CTR...

I'd highly suggest the Nosler Etip then.... I'd take it's terminal performance over the TSX or TTSX all day long. Plus better BC's....

I lap everything, always....

Keep fighting brother man....

I put the tarp up to allow snow to slide off much much easier reducing the snow load if you are not at camp...

Where are you?

At those elevations, I'd prep for teens to 80's...

The outdoor edge blades IME, dull 3x faster. I use them simply because of the much easier and safer blade changing....
