    2023 AZ Youth Antlerless Elk Hunt

    On the heels of the deer hunt last weekend we got home and put the deer quarters in the fridge. The girls went to stay with their mom and I worked three overnight shifts. Got off at 0630 Thursday morning, took a nap for three hours and then packed the truck back up and picked them up again for...

    AZ Desert Deer Youth Hunt 2023

    Well, it’s finally upon us. I feel like every year I get so busy that the thing I love to do most creeps up on me and surprises me and leaves me scrambling to catch up. Spent last week in Montana chasing deer and elk with my bow. Out of shape was the take home message there although the...

    2023 Hunting Picture Thread

    Yeah Pato we talked to some moose hunters from Bozeman the last day. They were struggling to find a bull, had seen 6 cow moose that morning already and had been all over not finding bulls. We saw 7 bulls in 5 days while looking for elk including 3 very near where they were camped. We gave them...

    What’s your 45 ACP Pet Load

    I have some red dot I may have to mess with. I got it in a reloading buyout and kept it because of threads like this

    Are most hunters over gunned

    I have one more wacky thing to say. With a small selection of current bullets, the 223 has come a long way as a deer cartridge. I don’t consider it to be optimal for deer but the results don’t lie, bonded and monolithic bullets have turned a subpar deer cartridge into a capable one, in scenarios...

    Are most hunters over gunned

    As you stated in response to my earlier post, being more capable than the average shooter is just practical in some terrain. Your last deer was over 300 yards after all. So I’m not sure why it’s practical for you to be able to shoot further but a fad for others My friends in NY practice long...

    Are most hunters over gunned

    I think magazine restrictions are more to address non-existent problems myself. But I have wacky views @Slamfire yes I’ve seen the eastern woods. Thick stuff. The buck I killed in NY was with a 30-30, there’s nothing more satisfying to handle and carry than a good old lever gun. My comment...

    What’s your 45 ACP Pet Load

    I feel like ten years ago this thread would be answered 75% with a 230gr ball (lead, plated or jacketed) with 5gr (or thereabouts) W231 and 5gr Bullseye. Another 15% would be variations with the same powders in charge weights or with 200gr balls So this is interesting Maybe I need to mess...

    Are most hunters over gunned

    I got my kids a 7-08 youth rifle last year. Settled on a 120gr Barnes TTSX. Picked 120gr over 140gr because I happened to have a bunch of them. Considered it adequate for elk. Then we took it hunting last fall My oldest daughter killed a regular sized cow, at 190 yards she got a pass through...
