    What size/height bipod?

    So I've been considering a bipod for my antelope hunt and not sure what the conventional wisdom is on height. I realize it depends upon the grass or brush height, but what I'm asking is what do you guys/gals run for antelope hunting? Any preferences on brands and/or features?

    "InReach" question

    I bought the inReach this year for my upcoming elk hunt and I've already used it while salmon fishing in Alaska as well as kayak fishing in Texas where I can't get a cell signal. Using it paired with a phone is the way to go for texting and for the map usage. Similar to others on the thread...

    How long is too long in the cooler for a Pronghorn?

    So I've set aside a week for pronghorn hunting in Wyoming in Unit 26 and the success rate is about 98%. I've never shot a speed goat, so I'm not looking for a record book animal and have tags for a buck and a doe. I'm driving up from Texas and picking up a buddy that is just along to help and...

    Cell Coverage

    I ended up buying the Inreach. It's a steep price, but I'll just have to go on more back country hunts to ensure I justify it!

    How far do you normally shoot? (Rifle)

    Very well said VikingGuy. I'm feeling good about a self imposed limit of 300 yards for myself as well. Thanks to all that threw in your experiences and good luck this Fall!

    How far do you normally shoot? (Rifle)

    John, I understand your point, but I'm trying to gather data to see what an average shot is for most folks so that I can ensure I have practiced at the right yardages. As I said, I'm capable out to 300 yards with full confidence of putting the bullet in the zone, but I wanted to get a feel for...

    How far do you normally shoot? (Rifle)

    I'm planning my first pronghorn hunt in Wyoming and I am curious about how much range I need. I will be shooting my Remington 700 in 30-06 with 150 gr Hornady SSTs. I'm sighted in dead on at 200 and can hold over about 8 inches to group well at 300 with my old school Leupold 3-9X that I've...

    Wyoming Area 15, OnXmaps question

    I'm in a similar situation as I'm heading out for my first Wyoming antelope hunt in a unit that has limited public land access. I've found in my research that most counties have a county road map (on line) that is more reliable, but I'm not certain if that is available in the unit you are...

    Elk Decoy: The Real Deal or Sucker Scam?

    What's your opinion on decoys? Are they worth it to pack in on a backcountry hunt? Do they work? Would you be fine without it? I swear by them for turkeys and dove hunting, but have never tried them for big game. I'm headed out for elk and antelope this fall and considering a purchase.
