Anybody remember when Utah starts hitting cards? Seems like it's gotta be close?

Sorry. Wasn't trying for that!

I would say it was more like 2009-10

Good lord? Who steals a frozen deer head? Sorry to hear about this. Hope it turns up.

A new record for me! Caught this out of the corner of my eye on US hwy85 here in ND on my way back to my farm/hunting cabin to plant corn! Can't believe how many thousands of cars musta drove by this one! Surprised to see a whitetail shed in this area as it's mostly mule deer in there.

Dang. I've got one up here in ND you can have.

How tall is she? A lot of people make the mistake of getting youth guns for women. Unless she's short, like under 5' 4" she would be better served with a adult size gun with a small reduction on the stock. Second thing about youth guns is they have stubby barrels. No better way to get someone frustrated with wingshooting them handing them an 18" barreled gun. 26" minimum in my opinion. Helps with muzzleblasr and the site plane is much longer and it will swing better. Finally, the 20 ga will kill anything out there but these days with the low recoil ammo available you'd have much more versatility with a 12 ga. You can get low base 7/8 oz 12 ga loads. That is exactly identical to a 20 ga load so the recoil claims people make are invalid. If you want her to have a gun with reduced recoil, a gas auto would reduce recoil far more then a sub guage.

Muzzleloaders are legal in ND so I use this one!! My dad killed his at 298 yards with it last weekend and I killed this one at 168 on Saturday! I try to call them in but if they hold up I airmail one to em. Last years was at 6 yards with a head shot. As far as shotguns go, the smaller the shot then better. It's an odds game. Heavyshot 7's will go clear through a turkeys head at 70 yards so keep your shot small and your numbers up!

I thought there was some science behind 5 groove in that it puts the lands opposite the grooves and thereby reducing deformation? I would think any odd number would do that. No personal input on which is better I just thought I read that somewhere along the line?

My texts haven't been coming through so just go ahead and post my name 😜

This time I really am trying to help but I think you have a typo on the power and size of the binos. 3/4 mile FOV @ 1000 yards!!!

They did that thing a favor by breaking that nasty stock!

unit 36

The difference is that it isn't Colburn and Scott outfitters raffling their hunt. This is to benefit the Arizona Deer Association which is a nonprofit. Most likely Jay Scott gave them that hunt at a reduced rate or even free so they can use it as a raffle prize. So they certainly aren't making a "huge profit" off of it,likely it's the exact opposite of that. They also do lot of raffles through the ADA for swaro binos etc. My guess is a company donates them the binos at cost and then they sell tickets and the proceeds go to the non profit. You're missing the entire point. A raffle benefits only two people, the winner, and the seller, and in these cases the seller is a nonprofit. The rest of the guys who buy tickets are doing it to benefit the non profit not to get a good deal on a hunt or pair of binos. I personally bought 5 tickets to the ADA raffle. Not because I have any remote inclination that I'm gonna get a $100 coues deer hunt, but because it was a good way to donate to a good cause and made me anticipate the drawing a little like I do with every drawing.

There were a couple guys doing that on the rutnhard website (RIP). It was really really annoying. They would say I'm selling as many tickets as I can by a certain day and that day would come around and then they'd extend it. Not only was it really annoying but I'm pretty sure it's illegal. Im sure they started out meaning well but then guys pretty much started to do them to fund new binos (or their coke habit most likely on that site). Anyhow please consult with amanda before you start with that. This is a pretty good group of guys and gals and I'm sure there's a good way to raise money for causes if they're legit.

There's no big bobcats in 4b. Ok maybe every now and then it puts out a big one but like only two big ones in the past 20 years and now everyone is saying it's s primo bobcat unit. Some guy puts on his podcast about how his buddies kid killed a 60 pound bob in there and now all the sudden it's the new unit 9 for big bobcats?

Doesn't a bobcat need a CITES tag to do anything with it?

75-77. He could be a good one this year!

Tag numbers in 10 are going down, just saying. I think people overlook that as an indication of quality potential. Less bulls getting shot = more bulls making it to maturity = higher percentage of quality bulls being taken. To that point, I expect 10 to make a big splash again in the not so distant future. You exposed my ignorance of unit 10. Seemed like for a few years in a row they had tag increases. Didn't realize they were going the other way. Eliminating the early rifle hunt in 4b was a huge step in the right direction for bull quality in my opinion. They've also cut the archery tags for sept quite a bit. They still have a lot of November rifle tags in there though but the success rate is minimal so they aren't hauling to many bulls out that way.

I'm gonna say 310-315. I've noticed a lit of people will see a 5 point and call if a "big 5" when really if it was a 6 it would just be an average bull. Same for big for Muleys. A 170" muley frame (if it were a 4 point) that is only a 2 point would probably only be a 140" buck. But because they don't come around often people say it's a big 2 point. Which i guess it is.

I'm glad no one has bothered to notice that they are shooting 50% less bulls out of 4b then they did 4-5 years ago, all the while raising tag numbers in all the "primo" units like 1, 9 ,10.

Lance has a lot of cool stuff.

There's only one place to get more then a mile from a road in 4b and it's full of elk. But so are a lot of the places close to the roads. If you're into backpacking way in it's really not your unit. You can be into the deepest reaches of 4b in 25 min walk. Don't worry to much about scouting. Find some cows and maybe put up a few blinds on waterholes if you want to be disappointed when it rains. Everything will change when the season starts and the rut hits so just use your vacation during the hunt. Wake up at 3:00am and ride the roads on a bike and find a cell of bugling and go chase them when the sun comes up. Sleep midday to catch up on it so you can be up early the next morning. If they aren't bugling well move 10 miles and try again. If you pass a 320 bull in there you've got balls. There are bigger though.

Good looking knife. If I spent that kinda money on a knife it would be like my other knives and would find itself under a gut pile somewhere in the mountains and some lucky guy would find it in 20 years.

I agree when it comes to long range. I was more referring to a good all around hunting scope. I've got one on my muzzleloader and it'll get me to 475 and one on my 17wsm and it gets me to 450 I think. My 7mm STW will go to 850 which is as far as I need it to go. I like the new ones with the two revolutions!
