I shoot a 7 pin Spot Hogg "Hogg It" sight. I remember what my middle pin is so I can quickly acquire the yards for the shot. So in my case my middle pin is green and it is 50 yards at a .029 size. My...

Congrats to you SAR. May I ask what unit you hunted? I am from Eastern Oregon and love to hunt those bulls. Moved to western Oregon and shot my first Roosevelt this year with a bow. I put a photo up...

Congrats Paxton,

I know how you feel about topping your first bull. I to shot my first archery bull this year. It was not as large as yours but it was a very respectable Roosevelt from Western...

Hey Maineboy,

Like mav_7mm said its a beautiful area. I moved from eastern Oregon to Corvallis to finish up school and love the area. Hunting is great over here you just have to be willing to put...

Thanks everyone. I roughly measured him and he is right at 280 P&Y. But I am not official so we will see. Is it really a 90 day dry period? I thought it was only 60. Well if someone knows for sure...

Thanks everyone. I am waiting the next 30 days so I can get it officially scored. If it makes pope and young than I am on my way to starting the Super 10 and who knows maybe onto the Super Slam, its...

I just switched to the Montecs in 125 gr. They are deadly. I shot a nice Roosevelt bull this year with them and it went through the shoulder into the lungs at 50 yards and then he stopped at 75, and...

Thanks guys. I feel pretty fortunate. Hoping to cap my season off with a blacktail! Plus my wife is still going to rifle hunt elk and has a archery deer tag so we will see what happens. Good luck to...

Hey guys wanted to see how Oregon's archery season is shaping up?

I have been trying to find a good blacktail buck for both my wife and myself but no luck so far. I did how ever arrow my first...

0 out of 6 for my wife and I. Bring on the archery season!

Well can't say I didn't see a few bruisers. I spotted a bear we estimated to be around 300 maybe 350lbs. He was a very large bear and was easily seen from over 1500 yards away. Wish we could have...

I had thought about that to. But I wasnt sure if you could put the the magnum blades into the standard head? Are they the same head?

Three Tikkas,

Ok that's what I was thinking but ya never know. Thanks for all of the info. I am going to try and pick up some powder today and give it a go tomorrow after class.

Awesome bow man! Good luck on the draw.

I thought of another question. Do any of you recommend a bullet for the rate of twist in your rifling? My .25-06 is 1:10". Or does this really matter unless your a long range precision shooter?

Three Tikas, Awesome group man. That's my ultimate goal with my gun. Now its getting the time to start making loads and testing them.
thanks for the info.

Awesome information. Thanks. I may have give them a try.

thanks 6mm Remington, how many grains of powder are you running in both setups?

Awesome fellas thanks. Ya we experimented a bit. I tried 57 and 58 gr. of the RL 19 and no pressure issues either. What do you guys hunt with these bullets? I am wanting to build a load for medium...

I have been experimenting with Reloader 19 and is what I am using at the moment.

I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the Sierra reloading manual. I bought some Sierra 100 gr. Spitzer boat tails and would like to find out what powder levels are best suited for it. If any one...

Hey Zim,
I hunted the Mt. Emily unit a little bit this last fall and ran into some nice bulls probably between 330 and 350 class. Now i am not sure if you can turn a tag back in. Are you wondering...

Thanks Makin Tracks. We went up hunting this last weekend to the very north west corner of the Trask unit. Tried a bit of calling and ended up calling in 4 coyotes in 6 different clear cuts. We did...

Elkoholic 307, how big was that black bear you shot? It is a beautiful bear.

I don't have a whole lot of advice on traditional equipment but I have shot with a buddy a lot. He has a Bear supermag with a 55# draw weight. He uses it for elk, deer, and anything you can think of...
