I talked to khunter through his hunt. A couple of bulls opening morning and a herd of cows before light as he walking into his stand on the last day. The two snow storms changed patterns of the bison

Do you know if an 'able' bodied human can use a crossbow during a ham hunt?

Trust yourself. You have two days to find him.

They still have to run the rejected cards by hand. May take a bit. Last I checked the first hunts don't start for two months.

One hit two options. Hoping for incredibly bad luck on javelina and incredibly good luck getting a Rio tag.

You can do it. As long as you shoot straight. I hunted this buck for four years in 36c got with 100 half a dozen times. Even had him at 80 with a rifle. Missed a few had some really bad luck on a few. But it can be done.

Eventually it just clicks. You will figure it out.

That's by far my favorite. I have followed deer four miles in the flats.

Deer move. When was the last time you got a pic?

.54 cal tc renegade. Edge gave Me a bunch of info on it. Shooting 90 grains of pyrodex.

I have a left over muzzy tag. I am now out to 135 yards with this comfortably.

A two second Google search

Seen one during August and one the other day that didn't make it across the road

During the muzzy hunt would you shoot one of these?

I think I made my decision. I'll be going Davy crocket style (but percussion) with an open sighted Hawkins

I just realized I haven't killed a deer with a rifled instrument in ten years.

4b I would hold out for 150 coues

I asked a g&f officer that question years ago. He pretty much said yeah but Subject to interpretation of the officer.

Good luck scotty. He wants general direction. I am requesting specific coordinates to your honey hole. I will not step foot in the unit until the day before the hunt. Thanks in advance for doing my scouting.

Bill Quimby passed. Outdoor writer (Tony mandile) stopped posting.

Cameras are bad. Whatever these idiots say is correct. Here's 150 bucks do I have to watch the video?

Since you are quoting me, I'll answer Do you really think wounding animals is limited to a particular weapon type? This is a difference of opinion on hunting styles. No one is getting berated. We were not talking about legality. We all know what's legal and like you said ethics are a personal choice. If an open sighted hunter caps his shooting ability at 100 yards, I contend the wound percentage is the same as a scoped muzzy hunter at 250. Without doing a study and zero research on the subject. I will also say that getting close is a much more difficult skillet to master than long range shooting. I've taken one shot from my nephews 5k gun at 1006 yards hit the target and walked away. For the record. I have taken antelope, elk, lion, coues, muley, bear, turkey, javelina without the use of any of the above electronics with my bow and my bison was 80 yards with a rifle solo without that stuff. Once again this a difference of opinion and subjective. Nothing more.

Hunters also have been honing their craft in that time to become more skilled as hunters. To get closer and use their skill to take their target. Theirs no crying/complaining just a difference of opinion on the rules intent. My hunting partners and I get into a similar discussion a couple of times a year. They are all long range hunters and I am just as happy for them for their success as if they shot it close. I do rib them about their skills. If we still had wooly mammoths, I would be down with a half dozen companions, loin cloths, and spears for a bucket list hunt.

I would contend the wound ratio is less than a hunt where people are shooting 250 yards at animals. Technology has taken alot of the skill out of hunting.
