    Valle Vidal NM Turkey

    I would highly recommend taking chains and plenty of gas/ other essential supplies. The camp grounds are a good ways off of a paved road no matter which way you go in. If I remember right, it’s something like 20-30 miles of gravel road. Not sure how much snow they’ve had in there this year and...

    Velociradar vs. Labradar LX vs. Garmin Xero

    Well, 50 strings of 100 shots is still super helpful.

    Velociradar vs. Labradar LX vs. Garmin Xero

    I use it in conjunction with Archer’s Advantage on a desktop and more or less confirm projected speeds. Is it necessary, absolutely not. Does it increase confidence in my set up, yes.

    Velociradar vs. Labradar LX vs. Garmin Xero

    You’re saying you can view ~1k data sets through the app as long as you have a wifi or cellular data connection? That’s incredibly impressive.

    Velociradar vs. Labradar LX vs. Garmin Xero

    I have a gen1 LabRadar. From what I’ve experienced, it doesn’t track much past 100 yards for velocity. This really is only beneficial to confirm a ballistic profile (to a small degree), and it comes in super handy for my arrow set up and building an accurate sight tape. But other than that I...

    6.8 Western pet loads?

    thanks for the Intel. I plan to start with magnum and 4831 behind the 150gr bulldozer 2 from badlands. From there, I’ll branch out. Trying to keep things simple as I’m just learning reloading from a friend that shoots a 270Wby.

    6.8 Western pet loads?

    Check Natchez shooting supply. They had retumbo the other day in stock. Not sure if it still is in stock but it’s worth a look. Just got my reloading press set up and looking to get started reloading for a new 6.8 western build.

    NM Ibex

    How’s it going so far? I’ve been out here since Tuesday afternoon and haven’t been closer than ~900 yards to a group of five.

    Tamale Recipe Needed

    When you go to heat them up in the microwave, put a damp paper towel over them. They’ll come out more moist (not dried out) that way.

    Gila DNA Outfitters - David Silva Guide Review. 5 Stars

    I killed a bull in the Gila last year and when I went to grab my tent I ran into him. Not knowing who he was, I struck a conversation that lead him to sh*t talking his client to me telling me how "fat and unconditioned" he was. He also had him take something like a 900 yard shot on a elk (copy...

    LRF Bino or Image Stabilization Bino

    I think this depends more on your style of hunting than anything. I have a pair of the 1st gen 16x42s image stabilized binos. I love them for how light weight they are and specifically if I’m shooting my bow and want to see my impacts. They are also great when glassing from the road or trail...

    Another Barbary Sheep Thread

    Those are some very nice rams. I love the scarring on the one to the left. Here’s mine from a NYE hunt.

    Suppressor wait times

    It seems very random just combing through this thread. Not sure if there’s any rhyme or reason to it. It’s something I like to call PFM.

    Suppressor wait times

    Mine was submitted January 23rd and approved today (July 26th), which is 185 days. I’ll have to wait a couple days to go pick it up though.

    Rifle for a rookie

    Here's an example of a high lung shot (skip to the 27 minute mark if you don't want the extra entertainment). I understand there are multiple ways and opinions on killing animals, simply trying to arm you with the information to make your own decisions.

    Rifle for a rookie

    High lung will drop them and kill them. You take out the lungs, and provide enough shock to the spinal cord to get the work done without ruining a shoulder or two. Just my opinion. Others will probably disagree.

    For Those Of You Who've Been To Total Archery Challenge (TAC)

    Can you hoist your target in a tree or off a light post somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Either that, or put your target on the roof? OP, take bug spray and sun screen, or dress appropriately for both. At MAF in Purgatory, I always seem to forget bug spray and regret it.

    Another Barbary Sheep Thread

    Just know that the vitals for both sit a little more forward and down than North American game. For oryx, aim for the “racing stripe”.
