I have shot bears on the opener and I have seen bears the last week of season. Many of your bears will stay denned up in April. June, you will start to battle the summer weather,
Hey Phil,
The pdf was a little hard to download, but I get the gist of what you are looking for. I have only hunted units 20a, 39,19a,19,28,25 and 23 for bear. We get bears most years. All the terrain is pretty steep. 39 is a hot spot for bears.
Not to open a different bag of chips, but mule deer really is my bread and butter and it’s October. I was going to create a post delivery thread but, I thought I would share that my Son and I already got to sneak out and go do a little hunting for bear and deer. We got on a bear but just...
She held off all the way til Oct 1. Elk hunt was missed… :(
baby boy is healthy and growing like a weed.
In hind sight I could have killed my bull and been back in time.
The likelihood that individuals collecting discarded antlers are contributors to conservation is very high. There is a direct correlation between sportsmen and antler collectors. These individuals purchase licenses and tags and support wildlife conservation. Harassment of wintering game is...
I am close to Eastern Oregon. I have lots of experience with stacking coyotes. I don’t start hunting them until about November and I would require written permission to hunt them. Vale, Ontario, Nyssa wouldn’t be too far for me. Send me a DM.
I wanted a Leopold Freedom in just a standard 3-9x40. I did some poking around on Amazon and saw that they were easily within my price range. @schmalts made the recommendation of an Athlon Argos HMR 2-12x42. I figured he knew how to maximize my price range with features and went with it. The...
Buying a rifle scope from predator optics was a big mistake for me, because now I want to upgrade all the scopes on all the rifles. The confidence boost that I have on my rifle after replacing the factory freebee on my Howa (Nikko Sterling) is unreal. @schmalts made a recommendation for my price...
My 11 yr old son and I always laugh about how my binoculars are worth more than the truck. We’ve spent a lot of time listening to podcasts and chasing animals in the ice cold AC traveling all over. I just gotta make sure I always have enough money sitting around to replace it if it strands us.
I told him not to sweat the accident. The truck is a disposable camera! with that bumper curled up, I knew the tailgate wasn’t opening so I took the bumper off. With the bumper removed I was pleasantly surprised that the tailgate still functioned. Worse case scenario, I would just go buy one of...
Thought it has been a while since I have given updates on the truck. I loaned it to a friend and he ran a stop sign. Before he could clear the intersection the truck got cornered by a Silverado. The 2007 Silverado got totaled and my truck got crunched pretty good. My friend was super apologetic...
To explain my posterity. I have always only wanted 2 kids. My first wife wanted more! She really took to the extra attention that she got with a baby bump and she started to really get into it. She was obsessed with the natural birthing process. Her obsession resulted in
stacking 5 kids. The...
