Sweet deal on the B80!! Thats 10x the gun that a lot of these crappy new Turkish guns are selling for more money!

Youre sitting in a great spot. There are tons of good elk hunts you can go on with 15 points. If you look at tag numbers 1 and 3c have done nothing but go up, and some other units in the area have been on a steady decline in tag numbers. It doesnt take long for them to flip flop which one is better. Look into any of the 4 or 5 units and youd have a guaranteed rut archery tag or if you can glass, hike, and shoot decently at Long range then look into 23 late rifle. They kill some REALLY BIG bulls in that hunt but you gotta work a little more for them.

I would do 12b west muzzleloader. That being said Ive never hunted it. I see some giants come out of there and the draw odds are way better then any of the other November hunts. Im gonna guess you are atleast 18-20 years away from being in max point pool for a strip tag and 10+ for a late Kaibab tag. People always look at how many points it takes this year and how many they have but dont analyze point creep trends to realize that it goes up a point or so every year as well.

My wife does osso bucco a lot. I get my butt chewed if I dont pack out the bone in front shanks when I kill and elk or moose. I used to grind it all up and now its one of my favorite cuts.
-
Wait?!? I thought 4b was the only unit worth drawing up that way?!?

Follow up on post about Leica customer service from May 1
yotebuster replied to Capt. Don Martin's topic in Optics and tripods
This is awesome. Doug is a first class guy and not only do they have the best prices out there they have the best customer service as well!! -
Ive got a 1600b as well as a sig. The optics are better on the Leica but the speed and scan mode on the sig are far better. My sig is the kilo 2400abs so its not a very good comparison. I think Leica is losing the race at MSRP prices, however at this price the Leica is probably a lot more rangfined there then youll get in a comparable $400 sig.

Booner free zone, sorry man be right back, killing myself. No worries, definitely some popers in there.

The all time B&C is 82. I think 80 gets annual recognition. Kind of like 110 is all time B&c coues deer but you can get it listed if theyre 100.

Boone and Crockett minimum is 82

Lousy customer servicwe from Leica USA
yotebuster replied to Capt. Don Martin's topic in Optics and tripods
No reasonable way to mount a tripod stud and no reasonable customer service are the two reasons Ive stayed away from them. -
Is that furniture factory original or has it been modified. Most of the 722s Ive seen were kind of plain Jane looking. This one looks pretty cool, maybe a deluxe version or something?
-
A 222 rem mag is ballisticly almost identical to a .223. If Im not mistaken it may be even a little faster. It was Remingtons answer to the popularity of the .223. It didnt catch on. Sweet gun and awesome caliber though !
-
Look into a 17 WSM if its just a varmint/coyote rifle. You can get a savage B mag for about $250 and theyre a nice light gun that would be great for a kid.

I thought the Tinder fire was something trphyhntr got a couple weeks after meeting up with a right swipe nasty?
-
Ive always thought that the strip was 13a and 13b and that Kaibab referred to 12a and 12b. I realize there are portions of the 12s that arent really on the Kaibab plateau but I guess thats what Ive always thought of it?
-
7 should put you in the bonus pass with about a 50/50 chance if we are talking west side. If you hold out for the late hunt you are about 8 years out with no point creep and probably more like 15-20 years out if point creep stays the same.
-
Probably a little lower then that actually as that is what your chance wouldve been last year if you had 13pts. With point creep you pretty much just stay at about the same level you were last year with a tiny bit of upward correction when people draw or die!
-
Looks like you are about 4 years behind the curve on 12aw late and about 7 years back on a 13b.
-
Shane Koury kills some good bulls out of there every year.
-
That looks it would hang dry atleast 4 shirts and 3 pairs of pants.
-
The last couple days of my June hunt last year they were starting to fence water in the park. That and the dry spring might be the perfect storm for tag holders this year to be successful. Congrats again on the bull thats a heck of an accomplishment. Anyone whos actually had that tag and gone through the mind games it throws at you will understand what an achievement it is. I wouldnt think twice about using a rifle. I think a lot of people (myself included) dont understand the logistics of that hunt and think that if theyre just sitting in a blind they may as well bowhunt but theres so much more to getting a bison killed (let alone a big bull) then just poking a hole in his lungs at 15 yards on a salt.
