Wow! Didn’t know anyone still shot percussion guns unless they had to. These have quite a following in Idaho though as they have an exposed cap which makes them legal.

Don’t mess this up man, the dude wants to air mail one in from 140yd with a xbow. I can’t say I don’t wish I could do the same!

Thanks for buying it! I’m no help but excited to see how it goes!

I’ve got the 95mm obj for sale here. Save yourself $400 on that part atleast! Or I’ll trade you for your sheep tag. I’ll even throw in a 2020 F150!!

You have to buy a license to apply in pretty much every state in the west. It has more to do with Pittman Robertson money allocation then anything. That’s why most states have you buy a combo hunting/fishing license as they get to count it twice. Doesn’t have anything to do with USO. Maybe did back in the day but every state has caught onto the game and that’s what they do now. I’m currently licensed to hunt in: AZ, NM, UT, NV, CO, MT, OR, ID and ND because of this. I don’t mind paying the fees if they’re going directly to game and fish vs into a states general fund.

Congrats on the tag. Keep me in the loop on how that goes. Do you have to apply for access to all thay oil and gas checkerboard stuff? I hunted 61 a few years back and just slept in the truck on the BLM.

It’s better then NY in the spring and summer too.

Are they even around anymore? I hear a lot about outfitters but nothing about them in years.

I spend thousands of dollars every year on non refundable applications across the west as a NR. That’s just part of the game, you gotta pay to play. I read and understand the rules and try to make them work for me rather then against. I’ve drawn a dozen or so really GOOD tags that would have all cost me $5,000-$100,000 if I had to go out and buy them at an auction so I don’t count it as a loss at all. The money goes to fund wildlife (even though I don’t agree with a lot of what G&F offices do with it that is what it is) so I’m ok with it. If they don’t want to eat a NR license fee then there’s always deer hunting in the Catskills.

I would have one if they made a set that were straight. I just can’t get on the angled train! I glass from the truck way to much up here in ND. That’s why I wanna drop to a 85mm. This thing cracked my side window on my pickup last fall glassing for deer!

Used these for one year. They have an outdoorsman stud on them. They’re the best ballistic calculating RF binos out there that I’m aware of. A couple smudges on the rubber armor but glass is perfect. Comes with box and whatever came in it. $2475 shipped. PayPal gift or you pay fee on it. Thanks!

Sold!

Great deal! Remember that a 30” double barrel has the same sighting plane as a 22”-24” semi auto or pump. Don’t be afraid of long barrels on doubles as a matter of fact 32’s are even better!

Arrows have broadheads attached to them. I can kill an elk with a knife if you can get me up on him sleeping, and I have 0 ft lbs of kinetic energy. A 100mph fast ball has more energy then a bow does and that certainly won’t kill an elk. One is shooting a razor sharp stick and the other is a ball. The problem with your analogy is that all the things you suggested are shooting bullets. Yes a hard cast is different then a JHP but they’re a heck of a lot closer then a bullet and a broad head. I’ve killed full size northern whitetails with a .17 hmr, and 1800# beef cattle with a .22lr. Should I do that in the field?!? Of course not. If you’re gonna shoot elk with a 180gr bullet going subsonic then use a hard cast and try to drive it as deep as you can, you won’t get two holes but you’ll prob kill the elk if it’s close. I’d just shoot it close with the .300 win mag but that’s just me.

I just ran the ballistics on a 180gr .357 XTP at 1900fps and that’s what I came up with. I really don’t care what cartridge it comes out of was just letting you know that it falls below 1000ft pounds at 50 yards and is below 800 at 100 yards. That’s just math. Looking for someone that has experience killing elk with a .357 herret is gonna be essentially impossible to find. But that doesn’t matter. You could ask if 800 ft pounds of energy is enough for elk and get a debate going I guess. (It’s about the same as a .223 at similar distance so you make the call). Also you’re gonna want to check your info a little as a .30 herrett (parent case for your .357) is shorter and has a much lower powder capacity. It’s no where close to a 30-30 necked up. If it was it would shoot a 180 a heck of a lot faster then it does.

If I knew they wouldn’t catch me I’d try that late November/early December 13b hunt.

It falls below 1000 ft lbs if energy at 50 yards and has about 800 at 100 yards. I guess if you’d be comfortable shooting an elk at 1300 yards with your 300 mag it’s about the same energy. I used to take smaller calibers and old rifles etc for doe/cow hunts and then one day I thought about how that critter would feel suffering because I didn’t use everything in my power to kill it as fast and humanely as possible and decided that wasn’t for me. But that’s everyone’s own decision to make. In my opinion if you want to make it a challenge, take your .300 and just set your max shot limit at 100 yards just like you would with the herret. That being said I’m not much fun at parties.

You mean the best f’n unit ever?!?

Even the smallest one of those is bigger then the biggest bucks on the other website I was looking at.

True. Just seems to me that AZ points are such a golden ticket to big Miley’s. The thing about MT, or WY or any of those, is there’s a lot of medium and small critters but your odds of a giant like you can have a chance at in AZ is essentially non existent. Atleast with a kaibab early tag you can know there’s a 220 buck somewhere in the unit. In MT, WY and 3a/3c the odds of that are almost nonexistent from what I’ve gathered.

That’s the pics I’ve seen I guess. There’s a couple collages on there with 1 or 2 180 bucks on there and the rest are 140-160 bucks. I’ve hunted with him for elk and he knows his stuff and knows how to take pics so that’s where I guess I’m curious of what the hype is I guess. Most of the bucks on there could be easily had on a general MT tag or a leftover CO tag. The burnt timber bucks from last year were some dang smokers though for sure.

I just looked at their website and they have some pretty good lookin bucks in there where the terrain looks like 3a/3c. They’ve also got a bunch on the 150-160 country too. I would be curious to see what an average is across the board for what they kill in there. They seem to kill the best ones from what I can see.
