I've got a Winter Bison tag for Northern Arizona. I am looking to use my .300 WinMag with 180g TTSX or 165g Nosler Accubonds. Does this sound like a reasonable caliber and bullet choice for Bison? Do I need to go bigger, say a 200g bullet?
Thoughts from the group would be appreciated.
Here in AZ, we have a late season hunt that runs from mid December to the end of January. The tags for the area are OTC. I didn't buy one this year because it's a new area for me and I'd rather scout thoroughly before venturing out on a hunt. While scouting I found a water hole that's not on...
I have the above scope in 15-45 x 60. It's served me well since purchasing it. I am however a little frustrated because I cannot seem to find a soft cover for the scope. Does anyone have any idea where I could find one?
Unit 15A seems to be a unit that only allows limited hunting. Youth hunts, archery only for some species, etc. Am I missing something, or is there broader hunting available in this unit?
Hey All,
Just came back from the range after the initial firing of my newly built 300 BLK. Found something I've never experienced before in 40 years of shooting. A full 70% of the rounds had a complete primer ejection on firing. For the initial test fire, I was using Remington UMC 120g OTFB...

Shot this buck in 1983 in one of my favorite California hunt units. To date, he's still the biggest buck I've ever taken.
At the time I had my tag validated by the local warden, he said it was the biggest buck he'd ever seen come out of the area. Not to bad for California.
Has anyone hunted X-10 before? I put in for it this year as my second choice. Just wondering if anyone has hunted it before. If so, what's the amount of people going into the area for sightseeing and hiking who aren't hunters? Does anyone have any suggestions on general areas, i.e. Templeton...
I have a TC Dimension with barrels in 22-250, 308, and 300 WinMag. The rifle shoots great. What I need is an extender that I can build into the stock to give me another 1" of pull length. I'm 6'7" and the only issue I have with the rifle is the length of pull. Does anyone have any thoughts...
I was hiking out in the desert yesterday and found this bullet in a canyon. As you can see, it's pretty old, so, some of my measurements may be skewed a bit by its age. Here's the measurements I got:
Weight in grains - 382
Width (Just above the boattail) - .432
Length - 1.427
I'm stabbing...
I expect that there will be a lot of thoughts on this issue and thats fine. I'm OK with anything you guys come up with. But here's the general idea. I've long been a fan of Nosler bullets, and, I still continue to believe they are fantastic. However, the past several months I've been...
Does anyone have any good leads on where you can get yardage tape for your bow sight? I use a single pin, IQ Bow Sight. It has a place to put the tape, however, I can't figure out where to obtain a tape. Is there a program, app, or place I can configure one for my sight? It should also be...

Hey Guys,
I'm relatively new to the high desert area, and wanted to find out from those willing, where down here is a good place for coyote and bobcat on public land. I've tried a few times in the mountains surrounding Joshua Tree with little luck calling them in or seeing any for that matter...
Hey Guys,
I have a Leupold SX-1 Ventana, Angled, 15-45 x 60. I'm trying to find a cover for it. A cover that will protect it in my pack and on treks into the backcountry. Unfortunately, I cannot find one anywhere. Do any of you have any idea where I could find one?

While out doing some hunting this afternoon, I was sitting near the top of the mountain, when I noticed some movement about 800 yards away. A quick look through my spotting scope turned up this guy.
It was a little fascinating watching him use his horns to scrape off the thorns from a cactus...
As luck would have it, I've lost my rangefinder and have been unable to find it anywhere. if anyone is selling a good quality rangefinder, I'd be interested.
Getting ready to hit the hills for some Bobcat and Coyote hunting. I'll be using my 22-250 for both, loaded up with 62gr Nosler Varminters, pushed by 36.5gr of H380 for about 3400fps.
I've taken a few Coyotes and think this load is more than adequate. But, I have hunted Bobcat before and am...
