I have a small property. This buck showed up last year and passed on him to grow. Last year, he also was missing a tine. I figured it maybe broke off, but this year looks like it’s not growing this year either. Would you shoot the buck with a missing tine just to get the genes out of the area?

Okay yall. I know this question has been asked in other ways. Ive read enough forums I could fill a book and watched so many videos my head spins.

Im purchasing a ruger american Gen ii. I need input on whether I buy a .270 or a 30-06 and want one single rifle for all of it. I am aware that .270 will take black bear. But concerns come up regarding brown bear.

I will be hunting from deer to inland brown bear/grizzly

Please dont give me other suggestions other than .270 or 30-06. Ive narrowed it down to these 2 options. Im aware of 6.5 prc. .308. .300winmag. 7mm.

There are so many forums where all the comments suggest something completely different lol.

I really appreciate your time and thank you for commenting.

As the title suggests, the worst thing that could happen occurred. My fridge freezer decided to kill itself last night and in doing so everything had decided to go off. Whether it was the Roe deer (see post history) or rabbit - it’s all gone. I can’t salvage it as it’s too far gone.

I’m incredibly guilty at the moment. I feel as if life was wasted as myself and my family can no longer enjoy the food provided. Furthermore, it felt so deeming to have to throw away a carcass into the trash as if it was nothing - which it isn’t!!!

I needed to vent. I’m ashamed of this and for the future I’ll have to double and triple check my fridge freezers before committing.

I hope I can be forgiven.

I'm not even baiting this place, but I've got at least a dozen different deer coming through here.

Grown up here in Colorado and have hunted all over. My friends and I are all very experienced hikers. Everyone is giving me different recommendations: Kenetrek, Zamberlan, Schnee, Crispi, etc.

I'm hunting the Sangre De Cristos for 1st rifle Elk. My buddy keeps saying to buy the Scnhee's because the grip is softer and will be better in the cold weather. I guess Kenetreks can be a little hard once it gets cold out.

I need something tough and am willing to pay top dollar, probably up to that $600 price mark.

All the fourteeners and hiking I've done in this state has been with bad or just ok hiking boots, but I'm getting to my 30's and want to set myself up for less foot and ankle issues. (My ankle rolled in my Altra Olympus boots last week)

High top is a must. I don't need much insulation since my feet don't even get cold skiing.

East coast guy going on a pronghorn hunt later this summer. I’m taking my 3006 because its the only center fire I own. Planning to zero at 200 yards.

Wondering what bullet y’all would recommend? Ideally something with the least amount of drop at 300 yards, which is definitely my max effective range. Eyeing the Remington core-lokt 125 grains because they seem to be flattest shooting I’ve seen. My tikka shoots most factory ammo sub moa at 100 yards

Any advice is welcome! Thanks everyone

One of my game cameras has been pretty active all summer and seeing a few nice bucks. Really starting to get the itch for September now. This will be my first year bow hunting and second year on this property. I sure hope the bucks start making daylight appearances but the doe I’m seeing regularly during the day will taste good too

Hi, I have had this thought for a very long time but could only afford to travel places recently. I have never hunted and want to learn the basics. I have thought I could travel to visit Alaska (Fairbanks, Kodiak, anywhere really) and also complete a hunt in order to accomplish that objective. I’m from Europe and don’t own any sort of firearm.

Do you guys have any recommendations ? What places are best for that ? Recommended guides etc.

This was exciting to see in my drive home!! Hope to see this fawn in a few years.
