    7 PRC Bergara

    I have a 6.5 PRC Browning X-bolt max long range that also has issues with velocity out of Hornady ammo. Only getting 2800 fps. I really like my Bergara B14 hunter in 300 win mag…shoots great. Apologies also for no hands on experience. Almost out of Rokslide purgatory, too.

    Grandpa's Elk

    Keep them in the family. Those are heirlooms, and I’m sure they have a story. Interview your loved ones and get those stories before they are gone. Use them as a way to remember your family. Nice bull. Rest in peace.

    SW Mule Deer Struggles

    This unit may have a few migratory deer, but they shouldn’t need to go far at all if they do migrate. There are a lot of rifle tags, but we didn’t see another hunter except when moving around on roads. My guess at this point is glassing may not have been the right tactic, and I should’ve been...

    SW Mule Deer Struggles

    If the does were using a certain finger/draw in a big drainage, should I be looking higher/lower on the finger/draw, at a different draw, or at a different drainage all together?

    SW Mule Deer Struggles

    Hello, New here, but started western hunting last year. I have managed to execute successful hunts for both elk and antelope, but I recently went on a mule deer hunt in a southwestern unit and struggled to find a legal deer to go after. I hunted a fairly old burn which has grown thick, but had...
