Just naming them “ultra” HD doesn’t mean they are offering better glass. Vortex is the ultimate in marketing hype, they truly have it mastered. Creating a new “level” of HD whether it actually exists or not was the natural next step for them..... they turn their gigantic tribe of “prostaff” loose on social media and convince the world that “ultra” HD is somehow different and better then HD and they won. #vortexnation????

It’s really quite simple. Seeker was videoing a 400”er one on one, trying to kill his steaks in his vegetables, miles and miles walked, when all of the sudden the gay marginally metro sexual cat messed up his fair chase stalk. Even though he was only trying to kill his son, the velvet spike, the game and fish took away his elk head and left him with only a taxidermy license. If you can’t follow that then I think you must not be able to read.

Sorry these were 12 gauge so they were 1 oz. like $7 a box though. -
New muzzleloader... Need help!!!
yotebuster replied to Coues Archer's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Just got these pics from my smith for my new build. I drew a LE muley tag in UT this year and figured I needed to up my muzzleloader game. It’s a sabotless rifle built by bad to the bone. Excited to get it here. -
I’m gonna say 295-305. I think he’s super young with a little face and short beams. I would be surprised if his beams are over 40”. All the sudden his tine length looks long because of it. A 350-370 bull will look exactly like that in shape just 10” longer beams and 3-4” longer tines. I know that sounds like a captain obvious statement but when they have a small head and a small body they look almost the same.

Remington .221 Fireball
yotebuster replied to Couestracker's topic in Handgun Hunting for Coues Deer
I’ve wanted one of those since I was a kid!! Ultimate HAM gun!! -
If they’re willing to say it’s benign without having biopsied it, it’s highly unlikely it’s malignant. Typically if there’s any remote chance of something being malignant they will not say benign as they don’t want to be wrong. The biopsy is more just a standard of care on any abnormal growth these days. It’s always a good wake up call to make sure you’re living life the way you should be, but from the sound of it she’s gonna be fine.

Steel on Quail
yotebuster replied to Roboz's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
If you’re gonna switch to steel try 7’s instead. I’ve been shooting federal 2 3/4” 7’s at 1350fps for decoying ducks for a few years now and it’s a wicked load. Birds are killed by a pellet to the wing or CNS, not body shots so the more you can get in the air the better. I wish they made 7’s in lead in the US, I think it would be the ultimate pheasant and grouse load. I’ve got some game bore 7’s in lead but a European 7 is more like a US 8 so I’ve actually found that European 6’s (which is like an American 7) are ideal for pheasants under 50 yards. -
I’m so lost with this post? Is it about the big bull? A video of the big bull(alive or dead) or is it about a marginally gay cat? Wtf is going on here?
-
Isn’t the FOV extra tiny on those 18’s?
-
Pre-fab turret + factory loads + stock rifle isn’t a good recipe for 1000+ yards. Way too many variables when you get that far. If you get set up with a legit ranging system (sig kilo abs or similar) can find a load (or find someone to find a load for you) that groups 1/2-3/4 Moa and then shoot the heck out of it it’s possible, but “custom” turrets and a sighted in rifle aren’t the answer in this case.

If you’re hunting in that unit for elk where you can see more then 100 yards you aren’t in the right spot in November.
-
Not sure if he’s joking here or not but he’s actually right on the money in that unit. Take a highlighter to your map and highlight 1 mile out on every open FS trail. Now take another highlighter and highlight what remains. The answer is exceptionally small in that unit. Get the wind in your face and a scope that is at very max 3x on the bottom end and slowly walk through it. Enough bulls in there where if you do that right in the areas I’m talking about you’ll kill one in a day.

Archery Sandhill Crane Questions
yotebuster replied to a topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
I think he actually has an archery only tag. I wouldn’t necessarily say you’d want large shot for cranes. 4’s would be the ideal size for anything 60 yards and less. -
Bow or rifle? Both tough but one is really really tough.

Archery Sandhill Crane Questions
yotebuster replied to a topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
You are correct!!! I’m eating my words. I’ve shot hundreds of them in several different states and provinces and from what I can see AZ is a loophole if you will to not require non toxic shot. They don’t fall under federal regs for non toxic shot, but do for baiting, magazine capacity etc. Most states and provinces have state laws I guess on the non toxic deal. Weird. You could rip them up with 3” #4 lead!!! -
Archery Sandhill Crane Questions
yotebuster replied to a topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Hopefully people weren’t actually using lead #2’s as that’s been outlawed for 30 years. I cranes have a pretty good amount of fluff, they’re feathers don’t wrap up on pellets near as much as a goose though. My guess is they just hit feathers only and though it was deflected. Any arrow that hits meat or bone on a crane is gonna bring it down. They are probably the easiest waterfowl to bring down pound for pound. -
I’m not sure on the new format. You could send Amanda a PM. Or maybe someone on here can chime in if they know?
-
Sent it out today USPS. Good luck with your scoutin!

7x42BA Leica Trinovids. The BA stands for Bad A$$ and they are just that. They’re used but priced accordingly. Optically they are excellent. They have the outdoorsman stud on them. Loved them for archery hunting but bought a pair of 8.5x42 el’s so they don’t get used. $400 shipped. No box.
-
Naw I’ll take care of it. Just send Amanda a little more to go towards the site.
-
I found it. You can have it and I’ll ship it to you for free if you PM me your address and maybe make a $20 or so donation to Amanda. You’ll save a few bucks, the site will get a little money, and I’ll clear out a little clutter.

Archery Sandhill Crane Questions
yotebuster replied to a topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
They have archery crane tags?!? Whoa. That’s tough. They’re tough to get to commit to decoys unless you have really good ones (deceptions or stuffers). My only thought would be decoys and letting one land. They should die about like a turkey with a bow although they are considerably smaller then a tom turkey. I use 3” 2 or 3 shot steel for them up in ND. Never shot at one with a bow though. You almost certainly can’t sneak up on them from what I’ve found, even to shotgun range so your best bet would be landing them in a field around you in a double bull or something and taking a standing shot. Maybe pass shooting with flu glue but they would have to be low in order to pull that off. -
Sorry to change up on this but I’m just gonna hold onto these for truck binos for this price.
-
I think I have one around somewhere but I have no idea where it is. I’ll look and let you know if I found it. I’d have to ship it so it might not be worth your time anyhow.
