    WY GEN $2K Raghorns you shooting?

    2K or even non special is out of my price range at this point. Partly, because I have a private land deer lease in my home state that is a really good deal based on quality of hunt and freedom to chase other species as well. To get my elk experience before I put in for a pricey tag I think I'm...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    Form, thanks for all the rigors you put this scope through. I was not planning on updating scopes but I recently had an issue with a scope on backup rifle. I wasn't planning to drop 1k on new scope but I may move my scope on my main rifle to backup rifle and get this Maven!

    Who is dropping their standards?

    I have had the same thing happen. Spotted a buck and judged him to be smaller than what I wanted to pursue so I let him be. I watched him go about half a mile and then some guys drove by on a road. They saw him and one guy jumped out, ran a ways off the road to be plenty legal and harvested the...

    Question for the 301 Level Deer Hunters From a 201 Guy

    This is a truly great thread I have enjoyed reading! My situation is a little different in that I hunt a private ranch in my home state every year for muley. Yes it costs me but still would be cheaper than out of state hunt for a muley. The bucks that I hunt rarely ever get 'monsters or 'big'...

    Who is dropping their standards?

    I agree that there is no reason to kill a buck just for its antlers. The meat should be the main reason we hunt and antler size should be the bonus. I like harvesting a mature buck for the challenge. If it's mature it means it has lived longer and has outsmarted hunters and predators alike to...

    How close have you snuck in?

    Varies but usually the last 100 yards or so. A couple times it has been 200-300 yds because it was nearly dead calm. And yes a cactus sticker or something may stab your foot but usually on the way back to boots from a stalk as during the stalk I'm very conscious of my foot placement

    How close have you snuck in?

    1) Silence is key - I have shot 4 deer [8 years trying] with my bow and 3 out of 4 have been in socks (one time in socks on a thin layer of snow/ice). I also take my bino harness off and sometimes shed a layer or two. I don't like the layers or bino harness to get caught on something. 2)...

    How close have you snuck in?

    That's impressive to be able to take a pic in the moment. I have fumbled enough with my release and range finder that I know it would screw me over to take a pic!

    How close have you snuck in?

    I have gotten within under 10 yards on closest stalk but I never bring my phone in last hundred or so yards when I drop pack and take off boots. On a buck I want to harvest I stop at my effective range in that moment based on wind and/or other factors. My goal is usually 30-60 yards based on...

    How long did you hunt before you went for an elk?

    I have been hunting since I have been 12 years old, or carrying a gun since then. Dad started taking me when I was 6-7 years old. I hunted pheasant, waterfowl, and deer (mostly muley). I finally had my first elk tag this year (leftover cow tag) at the age of 32. I just got back a few days ago...

    Cheating or skill 🤔 Sounds like after this incident we need more close shots!

    What’s your state do well?

    SD. With a bow you are guaranteed a tag but rifle and muzzleloader are draw. Every year there is one or more people in my family who don't get a tag.
