I have no issue with any hunter shooting whatever buck is legal, and they so choose…. With only 1 exception:
Mule Deer hunters that are “Trophy hunting”, for the first 5 days, of their 6 day hunt, and then shooting a yearling buck on the last day, because they can’t stand the thought of not...
White Mountain Rez #1
Mescalero Rez #2
Both you will hunt peak rut with a rifle, and a 330+ would be almost certain. A CWMU tag in Utah would be 3rd IMO, during Sept. The magic of Elk hunting is in Sept. IMO. I don’t really get excited about them later in the fall.
Best of luck to you
Aside from the recommendation to hunt hogs (Great advice)…. The rest of this is pure non-sense. There’s more opportunity than you have time, or money to hunt (most likely). Dig a little……
I’ve been in the point game for 10 years. I completely disagree with the blanket damnation of the points system. I’ve drawn many tags based on having a few points, and knowing when I can draw. I think some guys think without the system, that somehow they would draw more tags without points...
People gather in virtual places like this to trade ideas, and communicate with like-minded folks. We are in a tiny minority, so there’s value here.
Bring value to a conversation, or move on. Crapping on each other isn’t productive for anyone.
I wish you and your family the best!
Tuning each arrow, bare shaft, and nock tuning….. Then fletching when each arrow is indexed absolutely fixed my issues with inconsistent flight with Fixed blade broadheads. It really showed me how much fletching hides imperfections in arrow flight. I think a lot of dudes would be surprised...
What value are you bringing to the conversation, other than to flex your own muscles? You probably should have passed instead of shooting in the first place.
You should go back to Mediocre glass with the “Best warranty in the industry”.
I’ll buy your EL’s for the price you pay for the Vortex, broken and all…
How many guys have killed them that are giving out all this advice? Unless you’ve put a couple of them down, how would anyone have any idea about this subject. I’ve killed 4, hit and lost 1. I’ve also been along on 4 others for reference.
If you are very recoil sensitive, and can’t shoot...
I’ve shot multiple, and I wouldn’t use less than a 30, but I’m a bigger caliber guy anyway. They’re damn tough. I’d take a 30-06 over that Coyote rifle all day every day. Good luck
