AZkiller- are you crazy? If you put the same amount of rifle tags on an early bull hunt during the rut, the amount of giants killed would be insane. Same goes for Antelope. From an average of 50% success to around 90%.

"Internet rumors" Kinda like high school. No checkout. The hunt is doing what it does every year, just this year, a few people from CWT have rifle, Archery and muzzy tags, so it is more highly publicized. As stated above the success rate is right on par with what it is every year. As far as size goes, some nice bucks have been killed, and get killed every year. During ALL hunts.

Lots of good bucks in 19a. There is always plenty for all seasons. Homework and scouting will be rewarded in 19A. If you have muzzy tag, scout your tail off the last 4 days of second archery hunt. Same with rifle, scout during Muzzy tag. If you put the time in, you will be rewarded with a nice goat.

Do not make a mountain out of an ant hill... It is one blade, not multiple blades. Many scenarios could have happened. As stated above, they are great heads.

As title says, I am trying to help a buddy out, he really wants a 1600-b, but his champagne taste doesn't match his beer wallet. Looking for pretty much any CRF over 900. If you have a 1600, let me know and I will try and pry a few more bucks out of him. Thanks,

There is no high success rate in archery Antelope . Look in the regs and the success rates will be shown.

Bittersweet moment... I had that same thing happen last year, except it was my #1. Buddy killed him on the first hunt and I had the second hunt for archery. Scored 85 and change.

PRDATR- I just did this with my 10x42 el's. Turn around time was close to 6 weeks and I was charged nothing. They come back in like new condition, with a new focus nob, couple of plugs on the hinges, and they even installed new nylon straps so I do not continue to wear on my magnesium body. I am pleased with their service. I did not ask about upgrading my lenses. They are spotless, and might even seem a little crisper, just because they are as clean as they were when they were new.

Any better pictures? Side view and not so close up

261 gr VAP 29", 92gr insert, 100gr Wac em'= 453gr total arrow @ 281 FPS = 79 KE FOC- 17%

Good on you for researching before you decided to offer this service. Good luck with your new venture.

Great Video. Love the use of the trusty ole' 30-30.

Jack- Have you had your bow chrono'd recently? Most calculators on that bow say it is not shooting anywhere near 250fps with that heavy of a head at 30" draw. If so, that is some serious KE.

Beast for sure.

My hunting partner killed a buck last year that we both misjudged because of his mass. Scored 74 with 12" and 12 1/2" horns. Mass was unreal. Still a nice buck with a bow, but we were a little shocked when the tape said 12"

Great write up Willhunt4coues. I completely agree with you. I misunderstood when you said used up 40moa to get gun zeroed. I thought you meant the gun was shooting 40 moa off from mounting the scope. You mean 40 Moa of the total adjustment within the scope. I get what you are saying now. My scope only has 45 moa adjustment and I installed a 20 moa base so I am able to shoot further. My scope bottoms out @ 1175 yards with the 20 moa base, so In theory, I used up 33 of my 65 possible MOA to sight in. Makes sense.

Not entirely true on SFP Vs FFP. SFP- If you are using the reticle for bullet drop (i.e. ballistic plex, TDS plex) or using the MOA on the windage for holding against the wind, you will need to be on max power for the bullet drops/ wind adjustment to be accurate. If you use a turret and just use the crosshairs, FFP and SFP have no difference. I have SFP with a Kenton turret for both windage and elevation. This makes FFP irrelevant. FFP- Great for rangefinding, using ballistic drop lines within scope and using MOA wind drift dashes to hold for wind. Hope this helps. Willhunt4coues- have you really had to use 40MOA to get a gun zeroed? I would have sent that thing back unless you are zeroing at 1200 yards. My rifle drops 25 MOA at 1k with a 200 yard zero. 70 Moa IMO is not needed unless you plan on shooting 1500 yards. I have seen your boy shoot, so I guess he might be the one who needs 70 MOA, still amazed at how good he is.

Barnhardt trail area holds plenty.. I have seen them atleast 5 miles south of that.

The new tag structure will make getting drawn for Buff a little easier.

Ha! I know the feeling of working hard for your $. I was just messing with you. I know it is a big decision, Best of luck to you on your purchase. On the Bright side, if you decide you do not like them, their resale is pretty dang good.

Hippy.

Everyone on here has said 12's......................................... What else do you need?

If you get last years model 6.5-20 x 50 with target turrets on it, Camerlandny.com has them for $599.00 until they sell out. Absolute steal!!
