Do you really need a truck to hunt...
backcountry_brad replied to codyhuntsaz's topic in The Campfire
Jeeps are good, but if you want a truck with off road capabilities, you get a Dodge Power Wagon. Picture a 3/4 ton truck with Jeep Rubicon qualities. It comes from the factory with full skid plates (not cheap Ford type), 4.56 gearing, selectable lockers front and rear, a 16,500 lb winch 1 ton axle shafts and frame with additional ladder bracing. I'm not entirely opposed to getting a dodge either it's just I've heard their tranny's suck -

Which nonlead 180 grain load for .30-06?
backcountry_brad replied to Heat's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I shoot barnes ttsx out of my .30-06 and they are very accurate. like firstcoueswas80 said, these bullets act heavier than they are so you could shoot 168s and get a little more velocity than 180s -
I'm going up this weekend. I'll let you know how it is

Looks a little weird but also looks kinda good haha

Was turkey hunting this weekend when I heard this yote barking a few hundred yds away so I started blaring on my jackrabbit call and within a minute or two a cow came hauling a$$ out of the trees with this dog chasing him 50 yds behind. He stopped 100 yds from me and I dumped him

I've used my Mossberg 500 in 20ga shootin 3" #5 shot loads since I started turkey hunting at 15 and it's been effective for me. I've put 3 birds on the ground in 3 years hunting with it

Unless they are a vegetarian, they have no argument whatsoever. If they are, I tell em that hunters keep populations in check

Shuttle T's get great penetration and fly pretty close to my field points

I didn't hear any gobbling at all last weekend in 6A. Your best bet is to sit water and rd hunt

Aren't tiger trout just brook and brown hybrids?

Took my kayak out to the salt today after work and was surprised to see 2 bald eagles. After living in Arizona for 13 years I've only seen 2 others and they were in Flagstaff and Payson. Is it common to see bald eagles down here? trim.056C85A4-F870-4FED-8361-5A55B5F6D63B.MOV

Was excited for my wife's first archery elk hunt in 7E...
backcountry_brad replied to Aimsmall's topic in Elk Hunting
If you scout your a$$ off and give it heck for the whole hunt you can definitely get it done. Depending on what kinda bull you're holding out for you could lucky and kill early. Last year, I killed on the first day of my late archery bull hunt -

22-250 or .243 for yotes and mulies
backcountry_brad replied to AR15RDY's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
22-250 would be better for fur on the yotes but I would never use one for mule deer so I'd go with the .243. I have a Remington 700 in .243 with a bull barrel set up for yotes and deer
