Murdy, the success % looks pretty good because most of the deer are taken on private land. Yes, there is some public (BLM & State) land, but by and large it's over-run with hunters on the opening....

No. If you get the deer/elk licenses you can hunt any general district under the general restrictions for deer AND elk.

If you draw a mule deer buck PERMIT, you can only hunt the permitted...

I bought some states I didn't have. These are good to get an idea of the public land in a particular area, they are half off right now, enter priority code 9978 to get the discount.
...

Yes. And I like the Diamondback line.

Bitterroot Bulls has it right. Not one of my big game scopes (mostly Leupold VX-3 with B&C reticle) has an adjustable objective and I've run the gamut of shots in the past few years, from 23 yards...

If you give us a budget, the caliber, and intended target, we could give you some options.

FWIW, an adjustable objective is nice for certain types of shooting, but for most hunting 500 and in, it...

Hornady's website has a simple ballistic calculator you could compare trajectory and wind drift between different rifle/bullet options.

Here is a quick comparison with the bullet I'd personally...

Both of those are excellent cartridges. The 25-06 doesn't have as many high BC bullets available as the 6.5 cal would. Both will greatly benefit from at least 24" of barrel to get most of their...

There is no set value to a "point" of a bullets BC. There are a lot of other factors involved in this. By performance I'm going to assume you're talking about wind drift.

Just run the two bullets...

Taken from the mouth of Wikipedia:

"A bullet with a high BC will travel farther than one with a low BC since it will retain more of its initial velocity as it flies downrange from the muzzle, will...

Murdy: A lot of that unit is flat antelope country. We had some success getting on high points and glassing at first and last light and glassing the flats. During the day we had success finding...

B = laminated stock.
F = synthetic stock
C = detachable magazine
NS = no fixed sights

So FCNS is a synthetic stock with a detachable magazine and no fixed sights. You are right with TH means...

I have the igloo. I bought the $500 yeti. Took the yeti On a 3 day pronghorn hunt. Ice was melted down to half in 2 days. Returned the yeti. Still have the igloo and will continue to use it. For the...

I'm late to this. Yes, I live in BV. Last year was early November, but that's not normal. I've also seen late September, but that's not normal either. Sometime in October would be the average.

My real point was a lot of times the agencies locally will close roads on a time schedule regardless of the weather. Because it's a state hwy, calling CDOT would get a realtime answer. The best I can...

All boned out, it will take you a little over 100 quart size. You can buy a 120 to 150 quart sizefrom yeti, cabelas, etc.. If you get the 150 it will allow you to put a little ice inbetween layers...

Here's an example of a ribbon cliff and how the deer use them.3546]

Ribbon cliffs are bands of cliffs that ripple across the sides of the basins. They are often separated by vegetation. Many times there are several of them running parallel. Deer feel secure and...
