This is a very difficult poll question. Because both being quiet and not smelling is important. You can have no smell and be noisy and spook the deer or be absolutely silent and have the wind to your back and it would still spook the deer. In my mind you need both but great question. I chose noise because I personally think that being quiet is just as important.

While coming out from sugar loaf mountain practicing my shootin a 4 foot diamondback came out on the road. So I stopped picked up a good sized rock and killed him with one throw to the back of it's head. I cannot stand rattlers they are posseessed in my mind.

I am surprised to see that nobody shoots a .280. In my mind that is an awesome round that deserves more credit.

Yes I have taking a deer with my .243 and it was my first. It was an antlerless deer in kaibab at about 50 yards and it stopped in its tracks. I just listed the first guns that had came to my mind. I apologize for no .30-06 and other guns that are good for deer.

I don't know if that is a real way of hunting.

I have wounded one animal and found him the next morning, but I still believe that I am a rookie because the other 3 big game animals I have gotten have dropped in there tracks.

I was not on a range. I was just outside of Florence Junction shooting into a water hole berm.

I will be shooting a .300 win. mag and I am going to be out at the range hopoefully every other weekend until the hunt starting next weekend. I am going to be ordering some ammo for it soon and was wondering what the best ammo is for it that is under $30 a box.

I will be out every other weekend shooting probably a box or so just so when I get that shot I will not miss.

Well I got out shooting and I have decided to shoot the Remington 150 grain core likt soft points. I was able to shoot at 300 yards with a 3 inch pattern with 10 shots so hopefully I can get a shot like that this year.

Tell me was she hot.

Congrats that is a nice buck still I would love to get one like that.

I'm sorry about that, but I will be watching for it.

That is a great pic there. I hope that I can get a chance at a lion this year while out for deer.

I am thinking very serious about this and so far I am getting some 165 fail safe, the 150 and 180 rem. core-lokt and hornady sst in 150 just so i can find out what shoots best. Thanks for all the input guys.

That is what I shoot right now, but I would like something that will hold up a little better since the y are soft points.

Treestandman great story. Make sure you post if he got one or not.

35b is full nice couse bucks. My dad found a shed in that unit in some steep canyons while hunting mearns. The shed was a 9 point and had great mass. A couple of the tines have broken off over the last couple of years, but it is still a trophy in my mind.

I have a .300 win. mag. and that is an amazingly flat shooting bullet, but the 7 mm is also a great bullet. In my opinion it is just each persons preferences.

Got mine today also.

How much for a tripod on this site. I need a tripod for my 8 x 42 wind rivers. I know that they are not great for couse because they lack power, but they are crystal clear and get the job done.

I have been hearing alot about lions in 36c, but I have hunted down there 3 years and scouted a ton of times for pig, but have never seen a lion in the unit. I have seen a couple of bobcats and a lot of coyotes.

Just wondering how many people have tags for this hunt. Also if anybody know where there is a good population of whitetail and would like to share that would be great. I know of one place in the unit where I would like to go.

All of those deer are nice. Hopefully I will be able t opost my pics in there after I get mydeer this year

I am fimiliar with the unit since I have hunted javelina in that area for 3 years. I have only hunted the hills once though and I saw the whitetail then. Other then that I have only seen muley's on the flats.
