Standup thing to do anytime let alone when things are crazy like this!!! I love this site.

That thing is cool

Duck eggs are awesome. I have lots of TP!!

Well this “fudd” doesn’t have time when he’s killing stuff to count dots and hold 3” low. I range it with my sig and turn the dial to the number it tells me, then pull the trigger. I also like to be able to see my reticle when the light is low and I have my scope on 3x working a bulging bull in black timber.

I was gonna say the same thing. Those look like easterns to me. Sure this pic isn’t from the Idaho panhandle?

What would you have to have for it without the scope?

Just get OnX on your phone. Works better and it’s always with you.

I’m kinda thinking this will blow over (as all the hype does when people get bored) by early summer and the market will rally which should be a good boost for trump going into the election. People have very short attention spans, and a market crash and virus scare will be long out of their minds by late summer.

For as much as the consensus seems that dialing is the way to go, I can’t figure out why FFP scopes are such a big deal to people besides being tacticool. I dial every shot over 250 yards. Every one. I use all SFP scopes as there are too many negative trade offs with FFP. I actually have found it hard to find good SFP scopes and more importantly clean reticles. I have special ordered my last two scopes with essentially duplex reticles in them as I know for a fact I won’t be using the subtensions and I’ve found that in the heat of the moment there’s just too much “going on” in most modern reticles.

I’m not sure how you’d keep it from flipping over due to the top heavy nature of a moose skull. I have a few big hookers I could take a pic of for you if you wanna try a DIY one. You could build one in no time with a plasma table or even just a torch. I really like the shadows it creates having the skull off the wall a bit vs having it right on the wall.

Thought I’d throw up a pic of last nights dinner. Elk tomahawk steaks with some other goodies my wife put together. If you can at all make it happen to keep the bone in your back strap steaks like this you’ll take them to a new level!!! I have packed a sawzall into some heck holes and have done it with a gerber folding saw a time or two as well.

Considering you’re newly divorced I’m a little concerned about it.

I’m not quite sure how it makes that big of a difference but it does. Even on an antelope where the rib bone is contacting the back strap for an inch or two it makes a huge difference. We did some boneless and some bone in and the difference was amazing. Whoever said wild game fat isn’t good is on crack. The rib meat is even good. I eat them right down to the bone. Ribs will be a little tough due to the fast cooking but the flavor is awesome.

My advice would be to stop digging, put the shovel down and keep Houston’s contact info. When he says he knows less about the unit then some, that list is really really small. Also I wouldn’t overlook 3a. Find some high glassing points that are close to home and get out and sit on them. You’ll eventually pick up bulls in those flats. Wherever they are now isn’t far from where they’ll be come Black Friday. If you’re finding sheds in there then even better. 3c is tight on then Rez and most of the big bulls that rut that unit won’t even be in 3c by the time your hunt comes around so if you live close to 3a I’d spend a little time up there as those elk don’t have a rez to hide on.

This thread is awesome. I started reading it expecting it to be another I want your spots but not your honey hole thread but ended up pleasantly surprised. Sounds like you’ve got the drive RedBilly. Good luck with the hunt. You truly picked one of the toughest hunts to start out with but that makes it all the sweeter when you glass your first bull or better yet kill one. I don’t know a ton about unit 10 but I do know that in a late archery hunt having someone to help you as a spotter is going to be the biggest piece of advice I can give you. Figure out a set of radios with ear buds or text if you have service but the most important thing you can have is eyes on you and on the bull. I can’t count how many stalks ive blown because and animal got up and started feeding and I was just closing in. I’ve also killed a pile of them because my sporter let me know and I took a knee and they fed right to me. I wish I knew about unit 10 but I don’t. Good luck and keep us posted on how you do. Anyone driven enough to use a ride share rental to get to the Big Bo to scout has the drive to get it done if you ask me!!

Globe front sight?!? These guys aren’t even giving the animals a chance anymore!!

This makes 9 points for me. Almost where I need to be!! I don’t know why for some reason I thought I was gonna luck out this year!!! Who else has nothing but crickets on their CC?

All this negativity. I got one hope you catch a nice big buck!!!

I’ve heard good things about something called base maps. Supposedly same as onx but $29/ yr for whole country. If it’s legit that’s awesome. I’ve been running onx for a decade and won’t leave home without it now.

Wow. I’m a mile late on that .44!!! What a deal!!

Just checked draw results in MT and I drew a mountain goat tag!! Never stepped foot in the unit so I have a lot of learning to do in a short time! Looks like an alpine backpack hunt. Should be a riot! Started running last night as I only have until sept 1 to get my butt in shape for this! Looking for a new lightweight rifle. Any suggestions? Id like a proof summit but they are way to far out on the builds. Kimber has the ascent that a guy can get off the rack, but Ive had bad luck with kimbers being kinda erratic. Anyone have a sweet lightweight rifle they are looking to sell?
