I just bought a new Seekins HAVAK 7PRC 26 inch barrel 1:8 twist. Does any one have any MOA/Dope Cards created for federal 175 ELD-X? Thank you much appreciated
Sadly I don't think we are in the worst of things yet, I think we will see hunting become more of a rich guys sport, with the current political climate of re-introduction of wolves, poor forest management, large anti-hunting agendas I believe deer and elk numbers will fall w/ will lead to less...
Had a similar experience, you nailed it on the head w/ not being able to move slow enough, during the middle of the day we had a group of 4 and did some pushes and multiple times the 2 guys walking the brush would have deer run off behind them after walking past them within probabably 20 yards...
Going to take lots of scouting as others have mentioned black tail have a very small range moving between heavy timber and clear cuts, those big bucks are mainly nocturnal but will move the whole day in the heavy stuff, Black tail will hunker down during wind but especially those first rains of...
To add another factor into the equation is look at the type of prism before purchasing Abbe-Koenig prisms vs schmidt-pechan, abbe koenig are longer and larger but will allow for more light regardless of size vs the schmidt prism
in response to your gate question especially during early archery I would assume all gates minus national forest will be locked, your best bet is to call timber companies along with going on there websites for fire info most of the private companies is walk in only, also look on odfw at the...
really depends on hunt pressure, small bulls will stay with the heard however those 5 plus year old bulls will break off from the heard post rut and go back into their hiding holes. generally unless pushed super hard roosevelt elk have a fairly small range they live less than 3 mile area
It really depends on time of year, the biggest of bulls will not be seen in re-prod or clear cuts, they will push cows with them into thick flat drainages or canyon bottoms, hunting the coast is tough you will see a lot more elk glassing clear cuts and those 3-8 year re-prods, however you have...
If you are in a "rut fest" assuming there are other bulls screaming as well your biggest concern in my opinion is the cows, I would one assume especially during archery season its warmer and lighter longer meaning your winds are going to be blowing up hill longer and you have a low risk of a...
