I hunted with Russ last year and didn’t kill. A majority of the non guided hunters did kill.

The plaque with the score on it is nice.

The problem with taxidermists is they make half of there money without lifting a finger and the other half takes all the work. They like to take as many of those first halves as they can get and worry about the second half later. I’ve had to repo animals from two different taxidermists. One in AZ and one in OK that I made the mistake of sending an antelope with after a NM hunt. I’ll never again use anyone else then my guy in ND or Mogollon in AZ

I hunted a muzzy cow hunt in there a day or two after those tornadoes. Giant swaths of massive ponderosas layed out like match sticks. Uprooted most of them. Root balls were the size of a house. Pretty cool. Glad I wasn’t out there when it hit!

There was a site called rut n hard or something like that where guys were constantly raffling stuff for just plain old profit. Not only is it illegal it got kinda ugly. They would continually extend deadlines because no one would buy tickets etc. What would you do for instance if you only sold 30 tickets? I’m guessing you’d punt on the thing and the guys who got tickets would be hosed. Bad deal if you ask me. Just throw the landowner tag on for sale and count your blessings.

If Mr. Gallo had come on here with an alias username saying he had a strip tag and was thinking of doing a DIY hunt, he would have gotten 86 responses and 85 of them would have been which guide he should hire and how he shouldn’t squander that tag without getting a guide, how big the strip is and how there aren’t giant bucks around every corner. Now for some reason he gets flamed for hiring a guide....

My dad can tear a phone book in half.

Clay Goldman in Payson is the only guy I’d take anything to. He is an exceptional artist. With taxidermy it seems like they either “got it” or they don’t. I’ve always been amazed at the terrible work people let taxidermists get away with......

Sorry to sidetrack this topic, but can anyone tell me the functional difference of sigs ABS system vs the BDX? BDX is in was cheaper units, is it just a bargain, non name brand version of the same thing? I was really hoping sig would come out with a bino that does the same thing as the 2400abs but the 3000bdx seems limited in function. Any ideas? How about the new Zeiss binos? Are the similar to the 2400 abs in function but in a bino version? Not looking for pre fab ballistic curves but rather exact real time data like AB system gives.

I dunno anything about the G7 but love my 2400abs. So much faster then my Leica on the ranging end, and obviously the ballistics calculator is a whole new ballgame. I personllay picked it over the g7 due to one hand use and a vertical handhold over horizontal. Had an old bushnell years ago that was horizontal and it was a pain in the butt.

Good call and good thinking!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
