I would disagree here. E=m(v*v). I know there is a strong stance and arguments against weighing sectional density into the equation, but SD is in direct correlation to mass. Heavy bullets for caliber will produce higher BC bullets. Higher BC bullets mean sustained velocity over distance and improved terminal energy on target. Math or holes? I'll take holes. You can take the formula... If you shoot enough stuff, you'll realize the energy BS is just that... Holes kills stuff, not energy... my 338 lapua says otherwise

i'm thinking 320 frame and that sweet extra. somewhere in the ballpark of 340 i would guess

So, that dude was out there for the meat? That's what it was? He did it because he isn't a trophy hunter? Homeboy did it because he's rich and got bored with shooting baited animals with a bow so he decided he should try to spear a baited bear. Plain and simple. To each their own, but he knew what he was getting himself into. And fyi, standing next to an animal's food bowl does not take skill........

Since when did spearing a baited animal become cool? I absolutely do not think that anything i don't do is retarded. Spearing a baited bear? Jumping around like an idiot when you do spear a baited animal? He set himself up for social media failure from the get go here. "Fricken awesome"? lol. Get real bruh. There are bears in the zoo that would be harder to kill than that thing.

Good thing i wear kuiu. I don't agree with UA here, but spearing a baited bear is retarded. It was effective, but still. Have you ever thought when you were hunting "man, I'd sure like to dump out a pile of bait and spear an animal"?

Checked 5 cameras this evening. All my coues are VERY far behind. Really, really strange.

most decent 3x3 bucks with eye guards will score 70. this buck i shot about 7-8 years ago scored right around 70 if i remember right

hahaha. i knew i would get that response

i have in the past sprinkled a little bird seed in front of the blind. watching birds and squirrels fight over it keeps me somewhat entertained on long days

Sounds like someone needs to share some trail cam pics! I'm headed up thursday afternoon for 3 days in a ground blind.

i would say you definitely want to run E rated tires on anything bigger than a half ton, especially on diesel trucks. i always run them on half tons as well. i would imagine tire life would be terrible on a D rated tire on a 3/4 ton truck

i spend a lot of time in a ground blind. do yourself a favor and just get a comfortable chair that doesn't squeak when you move around. the ones that are sold specifically for ground blind hunting are terrible if you plan on spending more than a couple hours in the blind.

i've had spots get ravaged by lions too. it's a bad deal. not much you can do about it. lions will sometimes figure out that deer are hitting salt licks and wait on them like they do water holes. when maintaining my salt licks this summer, one of them had a big lion turd full of deer hair right in the middle of it.

good on ya! i hiked a mile or so into a spring the other day to place a camera. someone beat me to the spot. there is a camera there that i am 90% sure is abandoned. had some limbs growing in front of it. i trimmed them out of the way for whoever put the camera out, smiled, waived and continued. hopefully it won me some good Karma for when somebody discovers my cameras

that 2nd buck is a BOMBER. throw score out the window on a buck like that!

that buck on pic #6 with the split G1 is gonna be a good one. glad i'm not the only one seeing coues bucks way behind on growth

tuned in

it's considered a donation to wildlife conservation and it is a HUGE write off, i assure you. i have personally talked to people that have bought auction tags about this very thing

Those are some sharp looking binos

mud flaps and fender flares is about all you can do to help tame it down

I run one of these with a manfrotto head. Great compact lightweight setup

I've got a burris veracity 5-25x50. Love it. They also make a 3-15 and a 4-20. Hard to beat it for the price

i have killed a boatload of big game animals, including some great animals, while wearing cotton shirts and blue jeans or carhart pants. that being said, i switched to Kuiu last year and could not be happier. i usually hunt hard and like to pack light. you can wear one set of kuiu for days without it getting too stretched out or stinky, cotton is a one day use type cloth for sure. also their layering system is incredibly light and packs down to nothing. at the end of the day, if a product makes me comfortable and in turn i am able to hunt harder and longer, then sign me up. i can pack enough clothes to keep a Jamaican warm at the north pole in a very small bundle weighing less than 2 lbs.

Anyone one else noticing coues that are really far behind on growth this year? pulled a camera this weekend and had a lot of bucks with potential but they are WAY off of what they usually are this time of year. only one buck i have on camera is starting to fork at his mainbeams. mostly really heavy bases with eyeguards bot only 6-8" mainbeams so far... going to be a lot of growth left when archery deer rolls around, at least in my area. thoughts?

+1 on that. if they are in un-stalkable country, find the nearest water and sit it. chances are this time of year, he wasn't far from water when you saw him. probably within a half mile or less
