Don’t miss or pass a shot. From what I’ve heard you pay for the opportunity to shoot an animal. Which means if you pass a shooter buck because it’s not what you want they can end your hunt. No personal experience, but horror stories I was told by a couple different New Mexico outfitters when I...
I’ve shot a lot of animals with my 6.5 Creedmoor, but nothing elk sized. My elk I shot with a bow. I can’t imagine that if you kept the ranges decent the 6.5 wouldn’t do everything you need it to. I shoot the 143 ELDX in handloads around 2750 out of a 22” barrel.
My 8 year old son shoots a suppressed 6.5 Creedmoor accurately to 300 yards. It has an adjustable Manners stock on it so I get to shoot it sometimes as well. These are groups at 500 and 700 yards with me shooting the other day. I have no problems launching the 140’s at a deer in the 600-700 yard...
With Maven you can always order 2 demo pairs to put them side by side and keep whichever one you like, or return them both and get a custom one to your specs.
I haven’t hunted sheep, but have had my 11’s for 3 years and hunted whitetail, mule deer, elk, and black bear with them and really like the extra magnification. I have no problem handholding them, but will use a tripod for extended glassing sessions. I can pick out animals before and after legal...
there are areas in Colorado with OTC archery goat tags. I shot a 70" goat a couple years ago on private land with the bow. The guys I hunt with have gone back a couple of times, and I think overall we've taken 4 70" goats and a 76", which is right at a 50% success rate for our group. It's a...
I’m the guy that will eat tag soup before I shoot a young deer. I could care less about what it scored as long as he’s an old war horse that’s all that matters to me.
The buck I was chasing this year was a huge bodied, mature 3x3 with tons of mass and tine length, but small forks and narrow. I...
Man I can’t wait to do this hunt. Planning on going in August, then again in December if I don’t kill something. Looking at the southeast part of the state since a little closer drive from Texas. Any pointers are always appreciated.
