    Silver State Nelson Bighorn Tag

    Here are a few Nevada rams posted lately. I’m sure you can find one you would be happy with and still fill your tag. Good luck! I hope something works out for you.

    How much do new Tikka barrels speed up?

    Same question...I am looking at getting a Tikka 6.5 PRC, but don't want to end up with Creedmoor velocities.

    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    As The Guide pointed out this was Hornady custom lite reduced recoil. I just calculated the velocity and at 250 yards it was right about 2200 fps. I could see how faster cartridges could cause issues and change the performance. My kids really don’t need the reduced recoil loads anymore, so the...

    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    I was really surprised with the 120 sst from Hornady. I thought it would have blown up when it hit the spine, but it went right through the spine splitting it in 2, jellied 1 lung, and still shattered the offside shoulder. No exit, and I didn’t find the bullet still in the shoulder. Maybe it hit...

    7 SAW

    Great bull! Thanks for sharing. The 7 SAW looks like it fills a nice little gap above 7mm-08.

    What hunting rig are you running/how do you use it

    I really like that you can still use your truck bed for lumber, hauling, and then when you go hunting you can keep all or your camping supplies down below and get a full bed. They are a little pricey starting at $6500.

    Beautiful rifle! What are you getting for FPS with your load and the 22" proof?

    What hunting rig are you running/how do you use it

    The past 3 years I’ve been using my Tacoma double cab w/6ft bed. My daughter now has that truck and I got a 2006 Chevy 2500 with the duramax, but it rides terrible off-road. Now I’m looking at another vehicle with a pop up tent camper. Just don’t know what yet. I really like being mobile. We...

    2024 OFFICIAL Mule deer meat pole thread

    Only one tag in our family this year for NV. My 13 yr old got his first tag and we hunted every weekend until the end. Lots of miles on the boots and he didn’t complain. A few hiccups and learning moments for him and myself, but in the end on the 2nd to last day, he made a great 242 yard shot on...

    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    7-08 Hornady custom lite 120 sst did the job on this mule deer at 242 yards. Quartering towards us it went in in front of the shoulder, caught the spine, jellied one lung, and shattered the offside shoulder. It didn’t even take a step. No exit, so I’ll look for jacket etc in the shoulder, but I...

    2024 Nevada mule deer

    Lots of smaller bucks this year. Going out today for the last 4 days of my sons season. The last buck isn’t in his area, just fun to see.

    Chasing deer

    We bumped 2 bucks two weeks ago. We stopped and tried not to move and just watched them. Once they went over the next ridge we went to that ridge and slowly looked over. We spotted them about 500 yards away and had settled down a bit. Enough to get a good look at them and decide if we wanted...
