I really like my woodsman for day hunts. Like many others I added the guide lid but that's only because I also use mine for multiple days and like the extra space. It packs down extremely small so I normally keep items I don't need all the time in the bag itself and then spotter/tripod on the...
the quiver will be loaded with 3 iron wills and 2 g5 deadmeats. will probably run the deadmeats on muledeer to see how they do and will stick with the iron wills on elk. the deadmeat flys phenomenal for me out of both of my bows.
I currently have the fulcrum. Its flat out too much bag for me. I really enjoy the wing pockets but would enjoy flush spotting scope pockets on the side just as much. Its just a matter of how frequently you're going to use it and for what purpose. I do day hunts 90% of the time and could easily...
Topo youre a better man than I am. For a big bull I don't think I could get it done in under 4 trips.
As far as solo, tactics is very area dependent but I hunt more open areas and hunt them like muledeer. I sit my butt down and glass until I turn something up. If its in the morning I put them...
my biggest mistake starting out was not letting my optics do the work. Sit your butt down and glass. I also used to start my stock in the morning after they first bedded, now I give it time and try to wait for a second bed. preseason scouting for archery season is everything for me but im...
I have no intention of letting a 340 walk but I’ll eat my tag if I can’t get one over 300. I should be able to make my way in there a couple times over the summer as it’s only a couple hours from home. The Elk in ND will get a break from me watching them everyday in September.
Im in even though its going to be a pain only being able to shoot just one arrow a day for the next ten days. Im going to throw a curve in mine in that ill be testing two bows. Ill shoot the first one for the first 5 arrows and then switch and start over just for fun. Ill still pick whatever one...
Love my promaster XC525C. this will be my third year running it and the only issue ive had is losing the rubber part that goes over the bottom of the tripod leg. very sturdy for the weight and handles abuse like a champ. topped mine with a sirui VA-5.
I too will be hunting 631 this year! I drew the archery only permit and information regarding the unit is incredibly sparse. Looks like a couple scouting trips are needed. I really am just hoping its not overly crowded as this terrain and style of hunting is what im most used to.
This is a fun thread. It was a long winter in ND and I had way too much ample free time. In an effort to empty my bank ive been trying to lighten things up a bit, and make a jump to higher end stuff elsewhere. I switched from a cheapo cabelas synthetic bag to the marmot hydrogen 15 degree bag...
Ive been waiting patiently for a good deal to come around on a S2 meostar 82mm. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to shop with you guys. On a side note, Scott was great to deal with!
muscle brake slabbed magnum seems to tame down the heavy mags extremely well. ryan pierce sells them on his website. no bottom ports so you don't need to worry about it kicking up dust.
I packed in about 90lbs of chains and a comealong. got it hooked up to a tree and inched him out. It was a pain but makes for a good story now that its over. got him out of the water around 1:00AM so getting a pictures wasn't high on my list of priorities. I too had an E2 tag, this is a bull ive...
sorry for the picture quality. took everything I had to get him out of the dam he died in, and then quarter and pack him out before work the next morning. Ended up having to pack in chains and a comealong. Absolutely on hell of an experience! slowly eased my way into the herd over the course of...
That sounds right on the money for the 180's. The 180's should have roughly 50-60thou less fb than the 195's to get the boat tail out of the doughnut area. You will still be getting better velocity than the standard chambering and should have enough room to chase the throat as it erodes. If I...
The velocity you will see will be dependent on what freebore you use for your reamer. If you go with a sammi spec reamer the coal is set to be under 3.4 and you wont see velocity much better then your current setup but also not have to worry about fitting into a standard mag box. A couple of...
win brass, fed 215m, start at 68gr retumbo and work up. sweet spot should be somewhere around 70gr. you can try to run H1000, H4831sc, or 7828ssc also but use a manual and work up with those powders.
