HuntHarder

I personally carry lightweight rifles. They are not considered superior long range rifles, but get the job done. I understand that the heavy barrel helps with heat dissipation, but what other advantages are there to a heavy gun. I try and keep my guns as light as I can. I assume it must be easier to shoot because the extra weight is easier to control while recoiling?

Friggin' Tanks! Nice going.

Most just base it on last years data. I look at trends, and check to see if there is "point creep" for that particular unit. If not, then you can get a pretty good feel for if you will be in the bonus point pass or not.

Well, If you will be in the bonus point pass for your late rifle hunt, it doesn't matter if you put it as 1st or 2nd. You will only be considered for that hunt during the bonus point pass. If you are not drawn during the bonus point phase, then your 1st choice gets looked at first before your 2nd. So in other words, if you know you are going to be in the bonus point pass for the late rifle hunt, either put archery as your 1st choice down and no 2nd choice, or plan on drawing your 2nd choice late rifle hunt and having no chance of drawing your early archery tag. I would suggest, if you want to hunt early archery, put 2 early archery hunts down as your 1st and 2nd. If you just want a tag, then do Archery 1st, and rifle 2nd and hope that you are not in the bonus point pass for the late rifle hunt.

Soooo you just chose to keep his rifle all this time instead of getting him his rifle back? I would have found a way to get him back his rifle a long time ago. How long exactly have you had his rifle?

Guns, optics, guided lion hunt, High end coolers, higher end bows. One thing I look at is the odds of winning. Some organizations will sell 500 tickets at 10$ a piece and the prize is a $500 gun. I personally do not buy tickets for those low odds raffles. There are other organizations who put on many different raffles and only try to profit maybe 100% more than what the item actually costs. This usually translates into higher odds of winning and their raffles selling out in a couple of days instead of weeks. So I think having 4 raffles in one month with higher odds and less profit margin per raffle is a much better option than 1 raffle a month with a 800% profit margin.

Best thing to happen to you. You just saved yourself some bad ranges.

My pop up has a heater in it, and it will keep at a very comfortable temp. I usually set it for55*- 60* and it stays right there.

There is only one.... Nelson Ford. 32nd st. and Shea I believe. He does amazing work

You need to change your setting in the fog from best to last. It is picking up the "best" target not the "last" target. I ran into this on a late bull hunt this year. When it was snowing it would read 7 yards until I changed the setting.

free?

Who makes the barrel/ receiver? Is it only chambered for .223, or will it handle 5.56?

Page 43 lays out a few units closed to bowhunting within a 1/4 mile.

They made it unit specific i believe. Basically, if people complain about bow hunters being to close to their homes, the next year, game and fish seems to add a note making it illegal to hunt within a 1/4 mile. I had back to back Antelope hunts in 19a a few years back. The first year, you were allowed to hunt near houses, the next year, they did away with it. It is really unfortunate that you have to read every little note regarding a particular hunt to see if it is legal or not. I say ban it for the whole state, or allow it. Making each unit have it's own rules is confusing to say the least.

1/4 mile does apply to bowhunting. This was changed a coupe years back to curb guys shooting deer and javelina near people's backyards. I have never heard of 1/4 mile from a paved road, I assume that must be an area specific rule?

Keyboard Cowboys are mounting up. Call Jay if you have a problem with any aspect of the hunt. He posted his phone #. Embarrassing to come on the internet and throw around rumors when you can go right to the source. As usual, there will be lots of jealousy with any large animal harvested.
