I shot one mule deer twice at about 500 yds with 300 wby. I shot a coyote at 475 with 222 rem. also shot a mountain lion at 350 with the 222.

got my sticker today . look for me in 29 . white chevy 4x4 duelly sometimes with horse trailer. thank you amanda for the sticker.

i have several knives i like but it seems like the one im always looking for when dressing a deer is a buck fixed blade not sure what model , its kinda long and skinny and really holds an edge.

my 06 is a tack driver with 165 btsp hornady lite mag

great topic . thanks, doug for starting this one. only thing I can say here is that the 2 bucks I seen last year in nov were hangin out with does . These bucks were not together, they were 2 different bucks on different days, dont think they were rutting, but they sure were'nt bachin .

Once a freind bought a 300weatherby mag . I went to the store and bought a box of 300 weatherby ammo, drove to his house picked him up and went to the range. He fired 1st round, we coudnt tell where it hit, and something just didnt seem right . I examined fired shell , it looked ok . He fired 2cd round , it hit the ground about half way to the target . I closely examined fired cartridge , it looked just like the first one only on this one I noticed it said 270 weatherby mag.The brass fire formed to the larger chamber size, The box said 300 , the shells were270. Lucky for us the bullets were smaller than the bore. You can never be too careful , doublecheck every thing.

Wow ,Peloncillo, what a nice buck,congratulations, he is a toad.Now I am really getting pumped about 29 in november.What elevation did you find that bruiser at?

lookinfor110 sounds like you turned the table on blowhard.way to go. sometimes other people in the field (even can beaters ) can play into your hand if you keep your wits about you.

I bought one of these savage rifles as an inexpensive backup.I like it more than I thought I would. I carry it quite often when I go afield. It is a tack driver with hornady 165 gr. lite magnum.

I'm a big fan of 300wby mag, however, 257wby has very similar trajectory with less recoil. Yes, less energy also but that shoudn't be a problem with coues deer. The all-time all around champ has to be 30-06 ,versatility, variety, availability. Goodluck

New avatar . Put my picture in for bodybags.

looks like we have a special visitor among us tonight. I think I ruffled his feathers . Personal Message bodybags Hunter????, Today, 10:33 PM Newbie Group: Members Posts: 0 Member No.: 1490 Joined: Today, 10:09 PM I just read your msg regarding Steve and his passing...How dare you say anything about him being a hunter...You call yourself a hunter im sure as you drive up to the woods in your camper trailer, with your gun or your special bow carrying you GPS tracker with your $200 backpack strapped to your back..How dare you call yourself a hunter, your an animal killer..Indians were hunters not you so you should be more respectful of the dead and think things through before you start questioning what a hunter is

257 Weatherby magnum ,hmmmm, I'm a 300wby fan but I think you could say your 257 wby is the perfect caliber for Coues and nobody could argue with you much.

I have a Nov. tag for 29. Unfortunately , because of work load probaly wont get to do much scouting. Im thinking about taking my horse and riding up into the wilderness. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who's tried that before.Iwould also like to know what kind of conditions your finding down there this year.

Hey AG didnt mean to sound like I was directing that at you. Its just that when I used to watch his show(he was entertaining) I was always aggravated by the fact that he called himself a hunter.

Hunter my a$$. What a misnomer, he was a big anti-hunter. Quote: [sCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: Do you think sustainable use might be an advantage for certain regions of the world? I know of someone who was working in Zimbabwe 10 years ago, and he thought that the only way to get the villagers to not want to kill the elephants was to allow them to harvest ivory in a sustainable way. STEVE: I believe sustainable use is the greatest propaganda in wildlife conservation at the moment. This propaganda has been established by some very credible, very powerful players, and it seems to me that people are using the camouflage of science to make money out of animals. There are people currently saying that they're whaling for scientific purposes. That is just . . . if I think about it too long I'll cry, mate, because I've seen it and it's not working and it's a lie. So, whenever they're killing our animals and calling it sustainable use, I'll fight it because this is just my own personal opinion. ] His wife terry is from Oregon , where she helped get the cougar anti-hunting bills passed. Steve worked hard at stopping hunting all over the world , recently stopping the Australian govts plan to allow crocodile hunting in northern Australia. Condolences to his kids.

Anybody going after august bear?

Gotta admit that is an awesome buck , no matter how you feel about the circumstances.

Save a bear for me, or at least only shoot the boars ,so the season will stay open . Unexpected work has been piled on me and I can't see getting away for at least another week . Good luck guys , but I hope you leave one for me .

What is your favorite elevation to hunt coues deer? How high have you seen 'em. I seen most of 'em last year around 5000 feet. I missed a shot at a 3 pointer. Hoping to redeem myself this year.

Thanks for the info guys. If I can't find any prickly pears, I might try the call.

Any of you experieced bear hunters care to talk about where and how to hunt bear. You don't have to give up your favorite honey hole , just your favorite type of terrain ,techniques.tactics , time of day ,etc. Anybody tried calling bear with a varmint call? I have never hunted bears before and I am looking forward to giving it a try.

I wanted to hunt 27 also , but it is not open for the early season this year. Guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

.270's fine for caribou,.300's better for moose.If your set on .270, I'd choose the 150's for moose and woudn't consider less than 140's for caribou. Are you taking a backup rifle? Again I suggest .300win . If not consider packing backup riflescope. What about bears?(.300Win!!!) Good luck and have a great hunt. .300 fan

Unit 29 November. Yee-Haw! Any tips?
