Everybody I talk to has 20-25 points and I got 4 Measly points, so i opt out and went to New Mexcio this year at the end of August So now I got one!!!! It was a lot of fun and now I'm investagsting wyoming. If you can shed any more details to start that would be awesome.

They do overlap a lot! I used to bow hunt that area and whatever type of breed of buck stepped in front of me I was willing to take a shot at him. I've seen couse from apache lake all the way up to globe. Pick an area and Glass Glass Glass

It's very realistic to just scout from the computer show up, glass and find bucks. I've done it many times do to work, or f Financial reasons when I couldn't make it out scouting. Two years agos I couldn't do any scouting and showed up 2 hours late opening morning and just pick a good ridge. After an hour I got onto a nice 95" buck but messed up on the shot. But everybody is right just Glass and Glass!!

According to my Nosler book, your loads are a far cry from published velocities. You are using their preferred primers (Fed 210 LR), but you never mentioned case brand/head stamp. They loaded with Winchester cases. If you use a different case, it could have different capacity, causing either lower pressure/lower velocity, or high pressure/higher velocities.47.0gr. RL15 (published max) should net you about 2832fps.53.5gr. IMR4350 is over published max load of 52.5 which should net you about 2858fps, so your load should be even hotter.55.0gr. RL19 (published max) should net you about 3003fps.These are all book loads, so take them for what they are worth as far as "Max". Books are usually very safe on what they will publish as a max load for liability reasons. My head case/ stamp which I believe you are talking about the brass, is Nosler ( I'm still new to reloading). I have it set at 3.330 which barley fits in my Tika magazine, which slightly pushes back as I chamber it . But I do apologize my buddy wrote down IMR 4350. It was loaded H4831c. But I don't remember if we loaded it to the max at the H4831 or loaded it at the IMR. If we did load it at the max for the IMR I would be almost 4 grains short for the H4831. I'll take one apart and weigh it. But my other powders are according to the Nosler Book.

That was my idea. Can changing a primer change the speed up to 1-200 fps faster?

Dove done by 7am
Zeke-BE replied to Couzer's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
I haven't seen a place to shoot dove off of Ellsworth for years. You must be packing it in somewhere? -
I use my buddies electronic scale. Then we would double check it with a. Manual scale.

Predator I'm using Chrony. But I think it's on! I also tested it out on my brother factory Winchester round that stated it was shooting 2850 fps. I punched a couple through my rifle and Chrony was saying 2805 fps.

Maximus I've hunted that same private ranch the summer before last just to say I did it. I shot a 700 lb Russian hog. It was a beast it literally took four shots before it went down from my .270. Good eatin. The web site is fortrockhuntimg.com. But I have never seen feral hogs before. I would send a picture but don't know how to do it off the iPad .

That's my guess about the population. Unit one always has water and as a kid and young adult I've seen many deer. But ever since wolves came to be it's just been less and less every year.

Hello everyone I'm pretty new to the forum. From what I've read it sounds like there is a lot of good people on here. My question though is how to hunt deer in unit 1. This is a hunt that I'm already planning on for next year 2015 September. I've camped this area around big lake and west fork my entire life and know it very we'll. I love the beauty of it so this is more of a 50/50 hunt. 50% hard hunting and 50% just enjoying being up there with the family and friends. The problem is that I'm a desert spot and stalk hunter and I'm not sure how to hunt the pines. I have notice the deer is a lot lower in numbers than I've seen in the past 5-8 years. Any ideas or expertise would be great?
-
Nice!! You guys got me excited too bad I didn't do it this year, i'll do some of my desert hunting but I'm gonna go all outt up in the Pines September next year. In unit one is it really busy with archery deer hunters?

Quail season is coming
Zeke-BE replied to Coues assassin's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Average-joe if you want me to help you out to get these quail scared of hunters I can do that for free. No charge. I always hunt without dogs. My best hunt was 7 birds in a half day. It was a great spot, little hunting traffic in 37b about 6 years ago. Every year that area and the surrounding areas was less and less. Last year I only had 1 quail jump up and that was at my friends feet 60 yards away. Went back to some old areas and it was dead too. Hopefully 37b will pick up in the future. -
What about mount baldy wilderness? I know it's really thick. Use a tree stand, or wait on a game trail ? Or just stick with burns?
-
Thanks lancetkenyon! Will they bed down in those area or do they head for cover?
-
I don't mind hunting alone during the day, but I really enjoy my hunting buddies at the campfire at night and cooking up an awesome dinner
-
I really do day dream about my when my daughter grows up we will have experience like that together. Great hunt!

bear hunting dangerous?
Zeke-BE replied to jeremiah lindsey's topic in Black Bear or Grizzly Bear hunts
As a teenager a black bear came into camp. I followed him a ways about 50 yards the whole time. He was just to busy dragging his feet looking for food! -
Looks like fun!! Im guessing unit 1??
