I have a Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter in 300 WSM that I bought new in 2019 mostly as a compliment to my late 90s Savage M110 270 Win LH wood 🪵 stock rifle. Something that I could use out west with confidence on any of the species from moose 🫎 if I could ever afford to apply and get lucky...
Good afternoon everyone. I am going to try this again, but much earlier in the process. I appreciate all the advice last year right before the WY deer and pronghorn draw.
With my brother, cousins and Uncle heading to Idaho for mule deer in two different units and hunt dates, I was not able to...
Since I currently can’t afford a high quality pack for carrying in my tree saddle mobile setup with Tethrd Predator XL platform and Hawk Helium 20 in sticks and hopefully haul out deer 🦌 or possibly black bear 🐻 meat 🥩 from the deep and steep places of West Virginia and PA, I am going to try...
Aside from the .300 WSM that I have made multiple posts on this forum, I also have a late 90s Savage Model 110 in .270 Win. I have had her for 23-24 years since my Dad bought her for me when I was a teenager. Since I am having muzzle brake issues with my .300 WSM that has hurt my ears on those...
Some of you that have been on HuntTalk before Sept of 2019 will recall that I bought a new Savage M110 Long Range Hunter in 300 WSM to accompany my longtime .270 Win. I mostly bought it thinking that I would use it out west for elk and mule deer 🦌 and give me more bullet weight for possibly...
Hello fellow HTers. This is my first post in a while, but I am always thankful for the advice and even the jokes on my threads. Anyway I am planning on applying for my first western big game hunt where I have a tag, after being a tag along with my Dad and youngest brother in a 2019 Idaho rifle...
I am curious 🧐 what everyone’s thoughts and experiences are with using a military surplus ruck for backcountry style hunts or even truck camping 🏕 and potentially packing an animal out with it?
I recently was given a rucksack 🎒 by an Army Vet who volunteers at a local VA. He is a coworker and...
I have a goal as some of you might remember to hunt pronghorn in every state that I can DIY style with any weapon type. I may cut out California, Oregon, Washington, but would include all the other western states as well as South Dakota, Nebraska, and perhaps Oklahoma. Not sure about Kansas for...
I am the King procrastinator (one of my biggest faults). Anyway I am thinking about buying either preference or/bonus points in Montana and the deadline is a couple days away. I do have a rather limited budget so I want to make the right choices.
I am newer to the game although I do have 1-2...
I have a PSE Fire Flite 33 Left handed compound bow set at 60# even though it can go to 70# that I have had since I got a deal on it while working at Cabela's back in 06', I have yet to take an animal with it, but shoot it at targets every year and for walks and sits in the woods when I can. I...
I finally have narrowed my scope choice for my Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM that I bought last September to two Leupold VX-3i scopes. One being a 4.5-14x50 CDS-ZL2 (30 mm) Side Focus with Duplex reticle and the other the 4.5-14x40 CDS-ZL2 (30mm) Side Focus with Windplex...
I am going to build my first MSR, which I should have started 8 years ago or so, but political fear reasons (a bear den sized hole I don't want to go down) and the fact that my Marine brother left his old school Bushmaster AR-15 at home since he didn't need it in the service and said that I or...
I have a question, I bought points for elk and mule deer in CO last year and did so last night for those two species, but I couldn't make up my mind completely on if I should buy a preference point for pronghorn in Colorado. I already bought the qualifying license so it would be just $9. But my...
Well it is way past time for me to do some reloading tests for my new Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM. I finally got to the point where I have enough brass, bullets, powders, and other components to test in my .300 WSM. Even though I sadly used expensive rounds in the Hornady...
I know there are some new scope threads, but I have to ask.
For my new Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter in .300 WSM I have narrowed the Leupold scopes I want down to pretty much three: 1.) VX-5HD 3-15 x 44 CDS ZL2 (2.) VX-3i LRP 6.5-20x50 Side Focus (3) VX-3i 4.5-14x50 SF CDS 30mm tube. I...
I have seen a few people mention Hammer Bullets, especially on threads talking about reloading for a .257 Wby Mag (another caliber that I am really interested in, that is a smaller caliber than my .270 and .300WSM). I was just curious if anyone has used them in a .30 cal whether it be a .308...
I am an extremely new western big game hunter from West Virginia. My youngest brother, my Dad and myself had our first western big game hunt experience in Idaho doing a rifle mule deer hunt in early Oct. Sadly I didn't have the $$$ for my tag, but they did and my brother was successful on a...
My Dad, youngest brother and I drove all the way from West Virginia to Idaho for mule deer 🦌 and fall black bear 🐻 along with some fishing 🎣 and small game hunting. We met up with another group from the same area in WV. Spent all day scouting today and not much hot sign aside from elk. Glassed a...
A continuation of a post that a made a few months ago about finding an AWESOME sale on a rifle that I want to set up for Western Big Game Hunting in the near future. To set it up I am from West Virginia and have only hunted whitetail with a rifle and usually shots are under 100 yards where I...
I put this new Trophy Ridge Joker 4 pin sight on today. I got it for $23 at a not so well liked large department store that I currently work for. It states on the package that it is an AMBI sight for us left eye dominate shooters (I am right handed with everything else), but it appears that with...
