    Mountain Whitetail Kill Kit

    I would avoid carrying a saw unless it's to clear shooting lanes from a treestand or something. You should be able to completely process a deer with a quality knife or one of the scalpel retaining devices. Search Youtube for the "gutless method" as long as it's legal in the state that you hunt...

    OMG. I drew one of the best Coues Deer Units in New Mexico- advice?

    That's useful info. I was planning on bringing my 10x42s but it seems overkill to bring 15x, plus the 10x along with a spotter. I might simply settle on one pair of binos, plus spotter. I have to think that a rangefinder is key?, so maybe I end up carrying two pairs of binos, plus spotter to get...

    That's an incredible buck. Even moreso taken with archery gear. Congratulations. Yes, I plan on posting a hunt debrief after, along with some key insights. It's a once-in-a-lifetime tag for most so I figure I can share insights without sharing locations.

    OMG. I drew one of the best Coues Deer Units in New Mexico- advice?

    Sound advice. Thank you. I just dropped the kiddos off for after school activities - had to rush my response before and just want to say how much I appreciate any tips or words of wisdom. In keeping with the spirit of the forum, I will PM you a few questions and concerns about my hunt. If...

    OMG. I drew one of the best Coues Deer Units in New Mexico- advice?

    I have a decent tripod and I have experimented with the Javalin on a picatinny to quick change with the Davros head but I don't really like that set up as it's not as stable as a fluid head for a heavier spotting scope. Do I need a spotter or should I look at getting a pair of 15X binos or a...

    OMG. I drew one of the best Coues Deer Units in New Mexico- advice?

    Thank you for the tips! I hunted Coues in AZ once before and they are hard to spot. I managed to see two bucks in the two good weather days that I had but I could not make it happen - one was at last light one day and another on my hike back to the truck with only an hour to spare before needing...

    Sheep pack out methods

    I have a Stone Glacier 5900 that I had maxed out with Dall meat in load shelf and part in pack and full gear on packout. That was not deboned, had cape and full skull/horns (not caped off head). Very uncomfortable. Had to be north of 125 lbs, all in although I had nothing to weigh it. Would a...

    MT unlimited sheep

    PM me what unit you'll be in- I am going to get a tag in the next week and just waiting to hear back from a biologist to confirm pros/cons between two units. Good luck!

    CO elk draw, what did you put in for?

    I applied for points for Pronghorn- they got hammered this year- major winter die-off in Colorado and parts of Wyoming. I applied for points for Moose- because I have overlapping commitments. I applied for Elk in XX unit to the north of noname canyon. I applied for Sheep and Goat with no...

    COLORADO nonresident sheep & goats.

    Yes, it's discouraging. The moment that Colorado changed the regs no longer requiring upfront payment of Sheep, goat and moose tags, about 4-5? years ago, a huge number of new applicants (both residents and non-residents) flooded the pool and reduced everyone's chances to draw a tag. Now, it's...

    26 Nosler... which model??

    How are your 26 Noslers shooting? I feel that I am late to the 26 Nosler and it seems that few companies are chambering for them these days and Norma has discontinued brass... what's up? I am hearing from some builders that it's finicky to load for etc Thanks

    300 Norma vs 300 Ultramag

    Thank you. I would have a custom build and have whoever builds the rifle develop handloads for it. I hope to learn reloading some day. As an aside: Is it possible to spot your own shots beyond 500 yards with any of the larger 300 mags in a 10-12lb rifle?

    300 Norma vs 300 Ultramag

    Any 12+ month updates? I like the idea of a .300 Norma. Also, curious if the .300 PRC has made any headway against the .300 Norma or if it too close to the .300 Win Mag to matter?
