What to expect on unit 10, Sept 8th Antelope hunt
firstcoueswas80 replied to Viper's topic in Antelope Hunting
Get a couple days to scout ahead of time. That is one of if not the best antelope tags in the world. He should be able to kill a great buck and not just a representative buck. You can go to Montana or Wyoming and shoot a representative buck every year, take some extra time to get up and scout a big one, be there at opening light and get him killed. Good luck and post pics!!This is the best advice you could get on antelope hunting. If you don't put a buck to bed don't expect to go find your 2nd or 3 choice buck. An antelope hunt done right should be over within the first 15 minutes of legal light. Find a toad. Sleep with him and kill him in the morning.Everyone is welcome to their own opinion, but I could not disagree more with this statement. All of my antelope hunts have been similar, I decided that hunting was more important to me than killing. I took time to find bucks in out of the way places with less pressure or to hunt after opening weekend. On the AZ tags I have been a part of we spent time looking bucks over, played cat and mouse for days and ended up killing with shots under 200 yds. For me it was just more important to have a hunt than to execute a trophy like a grazing cow from 1,000 yds. Everyone told me to put him to bed and get it done early, I didn't, and I am really happy I didn't. And I ended up with a decent buck. I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure your buck was far better than 'decent'. -

Had that happen with my 7 LRM too. -
Alright ladies and gents, I need a 22 rifle with capacity no greater than 5. Daughter is in 4h and she can't use my model 60s. Do not need fancy, but good condition and that shoots straight.

How do you feel about an 8x minimum magnification for hunting purposes? All depends, when i am glassing for whitetail on the side of a mountain. i want all the glass i can get john hiller He was asking 8x for the scope, not binos.

A couple years ago it was $150 for Kentrek resole. And they came back a half size to small. I couldn't wear them and gave them away. I was not happy.

2017: What is your bull goal this year?
firstcoueswas80 replied to KaibabHunter's topic in Elk Hunting
With having my first late rifle tag since I was about 14, Im looking forward to this hunt. The problem is, my wife will be with me and she is coming off of ankle surgery so Im not so sure what she will be able to do as far as walking etc. Either way, we're looking forward to hunting it and hoping for 500# of meat for the freezer! -
Anyone have one? I'll either buy cash, or can trade for a Jim White head. (Reasonable cash deal preferred). I do not wish to sell the Jim White head at this time.

In stingy sometimes, so I found myself using layering for pants and then having one REALLY good piece of gear that I leaned on a lot. It was a Kifaru lost park parka and it's awesome. Light and fits very tightly in the Kifaru compression sack. Can be used as a pillow at night, then put it on when glassing and you will not be cold.

He hasnt even logged on since December of 2016.... I'd bet the chances of him checking this are extremely slim. -
I used trekking poles for the first time last year and really valued them a lot. Of course. I then used one to help push own the top strand of a barbie fence and bent it so it will no longer close properly. They were worth their weight in gold packing out a quartered coues buck down a steep incline.

No body shaming Casey. You know better. I thought you guys had to do sensitivity training and crap like that? No body shaming here. I'd give that bull a run for his money. Notice, I didn't said "look how fat that bull is". Sensitivity training in action!

I agree with this 100%. I've had several lengthy discussions with dudes in Facebook that are in the "I've never had an issue" crowd that, even when asked why they carry a sidearm/ccw handgun although they've "never had an issue" they didn't see the light.
