Hunting in the whetstones

[Hoytman]

Thanks kev.... Been debating about picking up a triclawps.... I think i will. Would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

I thought I could replace the triclawps with just cradling the fore end on my tripod head. I was wrong and regret selling it.   Triclawps in front and then stuff a beanie inside a beanie and attach it to the rest part of the trigger stick. It allows you to slide it up and down the stock and allows you to rest your cheek on it with pressure. I'm telling you its rock solid. Good luck.

Get a lion tag too. And keep an eye out for illegals. Found one hanging in a tree a few years back.

Awesome

Hung himself.

I will be heading out in the morning. I might try to take a drive out to the whetstones but I will be spending the majority of the time around the empire ranch. No tag for me this year, taking the wife and daughter (first hunt) out.

Good luck out there lucafu

Hey guys this is going to be my first time hunting 34b 2nd rifle. Can anyone tell me what I can expect genetics wise in the Whetstones?  Is it the type of unit that produces some really good bucks or if I see a 90" buck should I shoot it. I understand that there is always a chance of finding that one book buck, but I'm never that lucky.

Been years since I hunted it so dont really know overall what to expect there but a 90" buck is definitely a shooter.

You see 90”s you shoot til your out.

As said 90 inch is a shooter. But what I like about 34b is the coues seem to be big bodied deer. Heck of a lot more meat.👍

What he said. I think 80 is a hard target in the first time out. Good luck
