I’m speaking from my experience on cascade foothill bucks (sub 2k feet elevation), but this is what I’ve done for the last 7-8 years and have shot bucks 4/5 years.
Once season is over and the trails are still muddy from rutting activity I will hike with a pack and multiple cameras and my OnX...
That's a fantastic buck and if she has the room and the budget for it I would shoulder mount.
But he would also make a tremendous euro and put a nice 10x12 Canvas print below the skull and that would look beautiful as well.
I've pretty much gone to all euros the past few years and my wife...
Honestly I would contact roosiebull here on RS as Mike is very knowledgeable about coastal BT. I would take any advice he's willing to share to heart as he's definitely got them dialed in.
Unfortunately I hunt the cascades for BT and have only shot a few on the coast range.
130 ttsx has worked amazingly well on multiple deer, antelope, elk and two bighorn sheep from a 270WSM
I load the 140 ttsx in my 7mmRM as I liked the results so well from the 130
I agree with Ucsdryder comment that RS group probably isn’t a fair representation of what the average hunter thinks in regards to when they get a tag regardless of points taken to draw that tag.
Someone mentioned it earlier that people either have the ability to pass animals knowing they may...
I actually prefer a mixture of strategies to apply for tags. Depending on the season(s) and weapons you’re comfortable with using….or if I already have a hunt booked, or a guaranteed/OTC unit in my home state that I know the dates unavailable before other states application season.
I will...
Killed this buck yesterday. I’ve never seen him before and he came in chasing a doe. Shot him under 20 yards.
This was the second biggest buck I saw this season and my primer didn’t go off on Sunday on the giant! I about puked when the bigger buck just stood there.
I’m beyond thankful for...

2009 Hoyt Katera XL. I still own the bow, haven’t shot it in years. I shot 9 animals with it and it just hit everything I pointed it at.
My 2019 Hoyt Helix Ultra is very similar in specs and it’s enjoyable to shoot. I promised myself I wouldn’t buy anything else until I’d shot at least 5...
