Sounds like a crossbow permit is in your future then

Well, what unit?

Well, I hunt Well, i hunt every single year and kill bigger animals than 99.9% of the hunting world. I'll cry to all my 100% draw odds booners on the wall. Just lookin' out for some of the old timers that have paid their dues. God forbid

I wish we would square points or do away with them all together. In 22 years of applying, i have been drawn for exactly 1 tag i wasn't in the bonus pass for. My father is 63. Has applied for bighorn since he was 10. Missed 1 year since bonus points started (52 applications) and will probably never be drawn because at this rate he won't hit max. I wish younger people could turn tags over to their fathers because i would in less than a second if i was drawn and could do it. I have 21 bp for antelope and will honestly probably never hit max in my lifetime. You should have 10 years of applying before it counts for lope and bighorn, and 3 year wait for elk. The blade sinks deep when i see people with 0 bps draw sheep when old timers have applied for ever and will probably never get the chance in their lifetime to take one.

I feel like i hit a homerun on my savage 111lrh .338 lapua. Legitimate .4" @200 yards. I consistently shoot under .5moa out to 600 yards with 285gn amax. Bump it up for a serious elk cannon.

Adding 100 tags to 27/28 coues. What a joke. 650 of the 700 people hunt in 27. There are 10 times more mulies in the unit and less tags than coues

I have had a lot of success with amax bullets on a variety of animals. I shoot 130's out of my 6.5 and 285's out of my 338 lapua. I guess bullet construction isn't as critical when it weighs 285gns though. Elk are tough animals. When they are hit high, it always knocks them down and if you don't get the spine, they get up and take off, regardless of the bullet. I have seen it happen close to 10 times i bet.

Sweet rifle. I'm sure it won't last long

I would look at a leupold vx3i cds

Looks like i am now the proud owner of 21bp's......

Man, what a buck. Well done

I've always bought them off craigslist personally

Oof! Wonder what just his frame scored? Has to be 170-180"? Awesome buck

so, i recently ordered a Burris Veracity 5-25x50. i considered the sightron and vortex, as they are in the same price range. i like the fact that the burris has turret caps, and to be honest, i am not really happy with my current vortex optics. has anyone had any experience with these scopes? the few reviews i have read are all very positive. i won't be able to mess with mine for a couple months and am curious if any one else has given them a try?

Ignoring texts from all the successful applicants when i strike out....check Acting happy for people that draw antelope tags on no bp's when i've been applying for 20 years...check

What singleshot said. Weather will be nice, but won't get too far off the main roads. Still a fair amount of snow and will be a lot of mud

Well, i'm on my 2nd veracity. The first one was damaged (horse fell against a tree and crushed the scope inside the rings) and Burris replaced it with a new model in under 2 weeks. So thumbs up for customer service. I have had the ballistic plex reticle on both of them. I like the reticle fairly well. It's FFP, so once you figure out how many MOA between hash marks it's fairly easy. They are heavy scopes and not the same optically as the very high end, which is to be expected. I have found them to be quite a bit more clear than vortex pst, and i think they slightly edge sightron. The new ones have lower turrets which i didn't like at first but i do like the fact that they give you 25 MOA per revolution. The zero stop is very easy and quick, much better than the shim systems that other scopes use. It has held up well to the heavy recoil of my .338 Lapua. Tracking seems to be spot on. I have shot it out to 1,100 and it holds true. It has 4 kills. 3 elk at 420, 650, 740 and i shot a coues at 520. For the money i would buy again. Really beefy, tough scopes

Settling on 370's? Now i've heard it all

Still for sale Woody. I thought it was an 85

I have a pile of camo i don't wear anymore that i need to get rid of?

Lots of people jumping on the BTX band wagon! Good luck with the sale

Because in certain units ( 9 and 13 mostly), on man made water sources there are 20+ cameras on every water hole. People constantly hiking in/out to check their cameras disrupt other people trying to hunt and push animals off the water source. Those water sources are made and maintained to benefit wildlife but when there is a steady string of people walking to and from them every day, it defeats their purpose

Richardson's is absolutely fantastic. Pretty close to the mayo clinic. The 51 and bethany home roughly. I recommend their carne adovada

I knew that thing would draw quick interest
