It is amazing that folks will show up and not have tried to be in shape or able to proficiently shoot.
Going next year and will shoot around 300-500 reloaded hunting rounds before trip. Will walk a couple miles 2-3x a week, some strength conditioning but nothing crazy. Im old and since it is a ranch-based private land guided hunt, will expect to be pampered some. Will buy some decent burbon once the plane lands and expect to enjoy some on the rocks around the campfire. Will share. Looking forward to this trip.
Imo, the guide’s job is to get me in position for a 300 yd or less shot. I will kill the critter and then he cuts it up and carries it back to camp. Backstraps for dinner!
I also expect to check 300 yd zero upon arrival at camp.
I marvel at our super moderator telling us we have small minds. Most guys on here do DIY and could teach the guides a thing or two. Almost sounds like he’s saying the magic 6.5 isnt enough gun for hunting.
