Cool subject and definitely something I enjoy doing that helps me find/hunt big bucks. This past scouting season I went out looking for tracks after a good rain storm. I came across this one. You can see where his front/heavy shoulders stepped first and then the smaller back foot stepped into...
I started doing it a few years ago, I keep a notebook wedged in between the seat and console of the truck and then record the days events when I get done.
I try to log everything pertinent to the scout/hunt. Where I hunted, morning/evening/all day, temps, wind, clear or cloudy. Then I go on to...
Nope-Trash gets thrown any when I get fuel and the floor mats gets dumped when enough gravel starts to pile up.
Outside gets washed once maybe twice a year.
I went through the same decision last spring with my 6.5prc. I primarily hunt thick country mule deer with places that will occasionally offer a 600 yard shot. I really looked for something that had a good magnification range. With the type of country I like to hunt dialing isn’t a very good...
That sucks man, but it’s bound to happen if you hunt long enough. Did he travel uphill or downhill during those 500 yards? If uphill, it was probably a non-lethal hit. If you know of any water in his direction of travel, I’d give that a good once over. Gut shot deer prefer water. Definitely get...
Would definitely not recommend the commute from Laramie to Cheyenne. Thankfully I don’t have to do it everyday, but know folks that have done it for years. If it’s not the snow, ice, wind, trucks and animals in the winter-it’s the construction, hail, wind, trucks and animals in the summer...
Nebraska in November can be 70* or 0* sometimes both in the same week. You might to take this into consideration.
I personally have 400 Crispi and they do pretty well for me until it gets down into the teens.
I put together a PRC last spring with intentions of stretching my max range out to 700 yards. Although the gun and my loads are more than capable of consistently performing, it’s just not really applicable for mature mule deer. My last 5 bucks have an average kill shot of 88 yards. Is it a great...
