What a shame. I had wanted to believe they had made some real progress after the last attack.

We are heading out now to get our first eyes on the Area so we will keep that in mind. His hunt’s not till the end of November, so I don’t know what the situation would be like then.

Hello All, My boy drew a youth Burrow Mountain deer tag in SW New Mexico. It is our first year as residents and we know nothing about Coues. Any general Coues advice, books or other resources we should look into? Anyone familiar with unit 23 /Burro Mountains? I'm assuming there being plenty...

If any members here plan to attend our little event tomorrow please pm me so I can look out for you and shake your hand!

Great video and thanks for sharing. Your opening summed up my feelings perfectly. I was completely unprepared for how much my “once in a lifetime” hunt would change me. You t certainly elevated me as a hunter and opened my eyes to things I was just unaware.

We have a gathering this weekend if any members are in the area.

Sorry if I missed it, but did you fly with your rifles or rent? If you flew how was it with the sightseeing layover?

22 hornet softs are ok even close in say a Dik Dik? I thought I might need to experiment with tsx 45 grain load.

You are too kind! I would be paranoid of damaging that beauty. I have been looking for an excuse I could use on the wife to get one of those

I’m in New Mexico, but I think I only saw like 3 in gunbroker, last I looked. The plan was to use the 7 PRC or .30-06. He’s pretty disciplined with his shoots, and I think he would just wait for a good broadside and be fine, but I am trying to respect the outfitters guidance. I want him to...

The peak stuff is intriguing. Very eager to see where that goes.

It is on my list, but even harder to find here. I have no experience, but isn’t that quite a bit more lethal and recoil than the 35 Whalen?

Caprivi, but unfortunately not until next July, so it may not be an issue by then. I am just not interested in bumping up his recoil until at least after this hunting season. Figured I would use this time to game plan.

That is a beautiful rifle. I have been eyeballing one myself. Torn between that or converting an old rifle so I could thread for suppressor. Thought this might be the excuse I needed to convince the wife I needed another rifle.

Does my perception match reality? I am under the impression that the 35 Whelen would be a step up in recoil (and terminal performance) from the .30-06, but significantly less than 300 Win Mag or 375H&H. For the rounds you would use, say on a large Eland, would you say this is accurate? My boy...
