  1. If it's a quick shot opportunity then I don't worry about it. But if I have time to set up then I use my lightweight electronic muffs, turn the sound all the way up and you can communicate with someone in hushed tones if your together and still be able to hear everything and not blow out your ears. It's really nice to be able to dress your game without ringing ears also.


  2. We have the same hunt, should be a blast! 7 days in the woods chasing elk, can't ask for much more than that. We've scouted some but they will get pushed all over and deeper on this weekends hunt. Just look at the map for a place that would make you say 'I'd hate to pack a bull out of there', that's where you'll find him. Good luck to all, stay safe and shoot straight, but most importantly have a great time!

  3. LOL! A buddy of mine said those exact same words this weekend. We went shooting and he hit the target at 650. His first ever attempt at that range. He texted our other buddies yesterday that he was "good to 650" and that I was good to 800 (that's the furthest I shot that day). I had to call him out, you hit 1 target at 650! That does not make you Quigley. I practice those shots and the furthest I've ever shot a deer at is 500, most of the time you can get closer so why not try? Yes the gun can make the shot, and when you are practicing you have perfect conditions and are completely calm. When you put a deer in front of you that all changes, calm goes out the window. Practice the long shots, it makes the closer shots much easier. And be responsible, none of us are perfect and bad shots happen, but do everything you can to prevent it.
