Great bucks! 120ish, It almost looks like a hybrid buck?

Congrats! That would be a fun hunt!

Nothing at all! It seems like the rut hits better towards the end of december.

Welcome! i had a 30B tag and never saw a buck, that end of nov. hunt is tough!

Congrats on a good year of hunting!

Awesome! Congrats!

Just got back from my late nov. 30B hunt. Never even saw a buck, just does! Anyone see anything down there?

I have the 7DP wrap, I would go with it. I spent some time looking at sights and this was the best one I thought. If you are looking to shoot far and accurate this will help you a lot! I highly recommend you get it.

Man thats awesome! Congrats! What unit?

I dont reload but I was wondering if anyone has any advice for what ammo to get for my rem 300 ultra mag. I have been shooting rem sirocco 150's and wanted to know if anyone has something they think works better?

Those are some good pics there. Maybe you will get some good hard horned bucks now. Good luck!

Both posts look like your trying to bait someone into a fight. I'm not interested in arguing I will just give you my opinion. Speed, gravity etc... is only a small part of the equation and is easier controlled/compensated for than buck fever or a buck jumping the string. I'm not interested in getting into a debate about ethics as everyone is different and I feel that I have as much or more respect for the animals I hunt than others, but one thing I find interesting is that a lion doesn't sit there and think, "lets see if I drop off this ledge on that buck, I might not be able to effectively kill it because of that little kicker antler that is going to hinder me catching it by the throat, I guess I will have to pass until that little fawn comes along." IMO a real test of ethics is not how far the shot is, because I can and have missed at under 30 yards, but ethics to me comes into play after you have made a poor shot. What do you do? Look for 5 min and then move on, do you spend time on hands and knees, do you wait a day then come back? What is it that you do? Have you ever seen a deer killed by a lion, or coyotes, a bunch less ethical than a poor shot IMO For me I shoot regularly at 80+ yards Longest kill mule deer 81 yards closest is bull elk at 7 yards +1 A deer can take a step at 20 yards when you release, and you have an injured animal. Just because people shoot at long distances does not mean they have poor ethics. I take long shots knowing I can make them but also knowing I can miss. It is just like shooting at short distance. You may miss or wound an animal at any distance. That does not mean I dont care about the animal at all. I just shot my bull not long ago at 25 yards quartered away and hit him pretty good. He still managed to go at least 350 yards and did not die for a good hour+. I know that he suffered for a little while and the shot I took and made was as ethical as any shot. I wish the bull had died instantly but thats hunting. You try to do your best at harvesting an animal with it going through as little pain as possible. This is just my opinion so like WHT_MTNMAN said lets not turn another topic into a big argument.

I had problems with moomoos in 23 also. Any chance you used any bait? After they ate all mine they didnt come back and I started gettin a lot of turkey and elk in the area picking at the remains.

Thats awesome! Good area around there! Wonder how big the big buck was cause thats an awesome buck! Congrats!

Wow! Thats some calling there! Congrats!

Cool pics!

Wow, thats some good news! Thanks!

Rifle deer season is here! I leave to 30B on thanksgiving day! Ready to see if I cant make something of a new unit. Anyone got a tag down there or had a hunt there this season?

Awesome bull! Congrats!

I put up a post a week or so ago but I got my first archery bull opening day. Great hunt, one of the most rewarding hunts I have ever been on. Here it is again.

Wow, what do you shoot? I had a pass through on my coues at 105 but I just shot a bull at 25 and did not have a pass through. I never did take the time to see if I hit the back shoulder though, it was quartered away so that may be why I didnt pass through?

Great buck! Congrats!

Very cool! Looks good!

I wish I could get good with a rifle at long distance! It is much easier to practice with a bow though. A lot cheaper too!

Those things are a blast to hunt especially with a bow! Congrats!
