You missed the part of my post where I said under ideal conditions. This for me means very little wind, and not on the verge of darkness. I'll give you the fact there are shooting schools out there, but in SW CO where I'm from, there's not enough time to get away from work, or more importantly, the ...

Well said Springville! At least someone else sees how educational long range shooting can be. No, I didn't have the means to just buy this rifle and scope, what I did have the means to do was learn how to use a lathe and put it together. A chronograph and a good ballistics program with a rangefinder...

Sounds like you're on the right track. As for your stragety of not hiking around a lot, in my opinion this is the best method for the country you're going to hunt. Without an army of foot soldiers, going into that chain timber with hopes of getting off a shot is amusing. When you see it you'll know ...

good luck on a tag next year. My advice would be to get to a good vantge point, and glass down into the pinyon- pushdown areas.

You have to remember, these bucks know thier home turf like you know the back of your hand. They won't blow out of the coun...

nuttier than a squirrel turd! my hat's off to you for passing on that guy! You're a better man than I!

the nice shot of the four point quartering toward the camera. Wow! that buck is gonna have a great front end. By the time his back forks catch up, he'll be a hog. Keep an eye on him, in a couple years, he'll go 190" if those front forks keep growing. Congrats on finding a bick of this caliber.

In response to M.Bird "Hunting is not long range target practice", you have missed the point completely. Long range target practice is preparation for hunting. My wife drew a deer tag in CO last year, her first year ever to hunt. We spent countless hours shooting from 100 to her limit with my Hart b...

Don't know about anyone else, but we shed hunted the ridges above disappointment creek two years ago and found tons of sheds. When we went higher up the hill looking for the bigger sheds, we started finding lots of winter killed bucks. You could tell they were bucks by the pedicles on the skulls. My...
