I shot 136 Hammers in my .280 Rem before I sold it (bad decision).
It wasnt twisted fast enough for the 143 HH, but I had fantastic success with the 136.
There was definitely a learning curve to shooting a light rifle in a 300 WM. I find with my Christensen Mesa, I have to be very cognizant of all the little form details every time to shoot it well.
I think it’s pretty hard to predict the future on real estate. I’ve read more than one article talking about the work from home trend reversing course. Anyone getting laid off and or wanting or move up is very likely going to be relocating to a more urban area.
All that said, a friend of mine...
I hunted bears for five days in central Idaho one year, about this time or slightly later. It was kind of cold and rainy. Like 40s, low cloud cover. Wet.
I glassed for almost four days without seeing a bear. The last afternoon it kind of broke off and the sun came out. We saw two bears that...
If this proposal passes, and 10 years down the road the elimination of rut hunting didn’t improve the quality of mule deer hunting, I will gladly be the first to step up and admit I was wrong. That’s just how I roll.
Absolutely not on private land. It’s not in general on public lands, and I’m pretty sure we weren’t required to carry it as part our backcountry use permit in GNP. I sure don’t remember having it and I’m certain we would have if it was required.
We are arguing circles here. I am basing a portion of my stance on years of anecdotal observations of many days in the field. Some of the committee members are basing theirs on decades of anecdotal observations.
Again shifting baseline. What you see now is awesome in your eyes. What I and they...
Huh? Your first paragraph makes no sense.
Granted it’s FWPs data, but a little perusing of historical numbers for HD 704 shows the number of bucks harvested decreasing and total hunter days increasing. That isn’t solely related to hunting bucks in the rut, but it certainly has played a role in...
I can see where if someone had it and chose not to use it, depending on the circumstance that could play into it.
There is absolutely no way a person can be charged for not using what they don’t have. And it’s not a legal requirement to have it.
You obviously missed the part where I stated mature bucks will distribute differently?
Shifting baselines. Some of us saw mule deer hunting on the Custer in the 90s and early 2000s. And the Breaks. And watched it crash. And realize it could be what it was.
Like I said, if good enough is good...
