I personally won’t build the points to draw one of the top units. Same friend has drawn 60 twice in the last 10 years, nailed the random tag both times the SOB! Both bucks he killed are booners, the biggest being 87, both killed during the archery season

Haven’t kept up with 67, but it’s worth a look. Took this buck there around 7-8 years ago, he’s over 80 as well. I think eastmans started listing that unit though so it might take all of them to get it.. I’m not listing units anymore in the open..feels like tha walls are closing in already 😉 ![[Linked Image from i540.photobucket.com]](https://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg342/steveberrett/20121112_170922.jpg)

My best advice if you have time is go 5 days before the rifle hunt, take your bow and cover ground. Find your buck and try to kill it, if you don’t get it done with a bow then be on him at first light when the rifle season opens.. if you haven’t found a shooter by the time rifle season starts just go home and come back the last week of the hunt. Tough to do with all the travel, but that’s my approach.

Yep, just think there are only a handful of units that you can’t. Just make sure to buy the archery stamp.
Pronghorn are probably the easiest critter you can hunt to get a book head . That said it still isn’t easy, b&c size are no gimme on public land anywhere that I’m aware of.

No butthurt, but when someone keeps tellin you you are ignorant, don’t hunt, don’t use your gear etc, well if that’s not proof, I don’t know what is... as far as punching paper, it means absolutely nothing to me, I’m a hunter, when I’m not hunting I’m researching hunting, doing yard work, fishing, drinking beer, spending time with the commander or now, with my grandson, Target shootin doesn’t interest me in the least, if that’s your thing rock on, buuuuuut, don’t tell me I don’t know wtf is going on when it comes to hunting/killin and what it takes to get it done... Who said that? All I implied is that a good hunter can shoot lots of game with sheit equipment! Hell, I've done it myself! Keep on keeping on and eventually you when you've done it long enouph you will see what is being implied more clearly! Not trying to be an ass just maybe you got more learning to do and the only way your gonna learn it is get out there and hunt harder! One man's idea of hunting hard is often another man's idea of pussy footing around. No broken Leupolds tells a rather revealing story is all Whoopsie...............😂😂😂
Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

Are tracking and reliability something new? You’d think that for every $300 rifle, there would be a 1/2 dozen $300 scopes suited to the task.
What gives? What gives is the task has changed. The only scopes with knobs of any sort to twist 20 years ago were either cheap garbage or target scopes. That's why cartridges that flattened trajectory like the 7mm STW came to be. Creedmoor 'n' co could not thrive 'til turrets became common and rangefinders became common. Tom
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
Here be dragons ...

To the OP, I think you're over estimating SWFA. They may be popular on this site, but I have never seen one in the field when coming across other hunters.
Same is true of the Montana when it was the bees knees on here. Same with the now favored Fieldcraft. Still haven't seen one outside of a store.
Jud, wash your feet bud I can say the same for Idaho. The campfire is a very small niche of shooters and scope "experts", it is doubtful that you would get more than the deer in the headlight look when mentioning them to the average shooter / hunter. drover
223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
