I imagine this will bring some pretty heavy flaming but here goes. Looking for someone with 16/17+ resident deer points, the more the better. If you were holding out for strip rifle and are bailing for archery that would be even better. Send me a PM, we can work something out. Also be willing to trade for a waterfowl/pheasant hunt in ND on over 6000 acres of awesome ground if you are fun and like to drink beer. If you don’t have a bunch of points and just wanna use me as a punching bag let me have it, I have thick skin.

13a or b archery. I’ve got 14 points. I think 16 would be a lock and 15 a maybe. I can’t go in 24 or 25 so was hoping to get it locked in this year. So I guess anyone putting in with 15 for same points would drag me up to round up to 15 again so no loss for them. If anyone fits the bill PM me and we can chat. Thanks.

I pay for an elk landowner tag every year with credit card reward points. Would hate to miss out on that.

I shoulda clarified, I do eat the heart. Just not liver or kidneys.

We feed a mix of big game trimmings, garden vegetables and dog food. I stay away from organ meat. I don’t understand why you’d want to eat the waste processing centers of a body, or feed it to your dogs. I stay away from anything that I didn’t butcher. I guess I don’t trust things that are commercially butchered to use for raw consumption.

I hope you weren’t eating a cheeseburger while doing that, or potato chips, or actually literally anything. I hope you weren’t doing it in the peace and quiet of your living room with running water and power. All of those things come from genetic modification. We wouldn’t have even close to enough food in this world right now if it weren’t for that. As far as antler size and “hunting” those animals, as long as they’re using the meat it’s no skin off my back if someone wants to do it. Nearly everyone who goes to NZ and shoots a red stag is doing the same thing, they just don’t tell you when they get home. I’ll do my thing, you can do yours, we’re all on the same team.

Chickens slow down laying with daylight changes. Ours slowed and are now picking up again. Like always. Every year even before the conspiracy theorists were invented. Even with TSC food. The reason commercial eggs are high is because they had to kill a billion chickens due to avian flu. They will again this spring when the geese migrate north again. Anyone who thinks that is a conspiracy is welcome to stop by here in the spring and drive by the downwind side of a snow goose roost in the morning when they go out to feed. Therell be dozens to hundreds of dead ones laying along the bank every morning. Not a conspiracy. Just the way the world worlds.

That post was from 2018

I’d say it’s pretty obvious where he’s from. I’d bet “ya’ll” big money that he’s from a place where everything is bigger. I never did figure out WTF a feeder pen is.

I use the shooter app for quick checks but use my sig 8k and the app in the field.

Depends on the muzzleloader. Mine stays above 1000 ft/lbs to 715 yards. I wouldn’t think twice about crushing an elk with it at 500 if it was broadside and the wind wasn’t blowing too bad.

This was my first centerfire rifle. Traded it on a 25-06 when I was 11 yrs old. Killed a bunch of shoot with it!

It’s delicious!! Shoveler is fine too just have to skin it. The flavor (good or bad) is in the skin on ducks so as long as you get it off they are fine for poppers etc. I save mallards, teal and wood ducks for plucking.

Came here for a magical AR in .244 Remington and left disappointed. Bump for a pretty rifle in a caliber that’s over my head!

That’s a spendy tailgate right there!

Doesn’t Texas have a lot of Texans though?

I’ve got all Dewalt stuff but that’s only because I got started with them. I would go Milwaukee in a heartbeat if I could switch all mine. I do like the 60v Dewalt option though. Love their air compressor, have two lawnmowers, blowers, weed eaters, chain saws every drill saw, grinder etc they make. Honestly have no reason to prefer Milwaukee, just what I hear. I probably have 25-30 Dewalt tools and 10-15 batteries and never had an issue with any one of them and a lot of them ride around in my ram box year round, from 105 above to -40 here in ND.

I would bet 80-90% of the bulls taken on late rifle hunts are under 300”. I think most guys have a tendency to call any 6 pt bull a 300” bull and are off by 20-40”. I also think most guys don’t care so there’s a higher percent of small bulls shot. I would agree that if you go out, hunt hard, and can pass small 6’s you can kill a 320-340 bull in any late hunt in the state. (Besides Forebee of course). This is what an actual 300” bull looks like I feel like people rarely score those small to mid size 6’s and just classify them based on how they look

Looks like last year it took 12 to be in the bonus pass. So they are 3 years out assuming no point creep. It seems to have crept about a point a year the last few years so I’m gonna say they’re closer to 5-6 years out.

You can kill a 300” bull in any unit in the state in either hunt if you look around a bit. I’d go with archery personally.

Not sure if you’re interested in a guide, but Grant’s Guide service just killed a big bull out of there. Like bigger than most of the early rifle bulls that come out of either of those units. Grant knows that country better than anyone.

As a NR I will say I was well aware of the change. I received multiple emails and saw it on social media many times. This will without question go to a draw in the near future as all OTC quotas eventually do. It’s gonna put a lot of pressure on mid tier (4-12 point draw) tags when it does as NR that are accustomed to buying OTC and building points will burn their points and then start drawing the easy to draw OTC archery tags once they have.

I came here expecting it to be a few savage 6.5 creedmoors with vortex diamondbacks on them wired together. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congrats!! Awesome ram!!

This is badass. Huge congrats! Love those red horned rams!
