    D16

    I went out scouting the night before the opener and glassed up 4 legal bucks. Opener was a zoo with guys hiking all over. I spent last weekend up in D14 trying to get it done and glassed up a dozen bedded doe but no bucks. With the bright moon, I noticed that they were all bedded at first...

    Rifle/caliber to use for NM muley tag?

    Grab the one your are most confident / comfortable with shooting because it will not matter at 400 yards. Biggest difference would be wind drift. Mono bullet go for shoulder, ELDX go for boiler room. All work well.

    Choose my elk rifle

    That was the last time it was fired at an animal.

    Choose my elk rifle

    It has been retired against game the last couple of years. Though I might need to bust it out for the mighty D16 forky this year.

    Choose my elk rifle

    Bullet construction, shot placement are key. For my personal preference, when I am using copper I prefer bigger and faster and when using "match" type bullets (ELDM, TMK, etc) going down in size and speed is fine. That said, I love my 9 lb 338 RUM but my shooting it in field positions is not...

    I am still extremely jealous of you being able to have suppressors. It is my biggest complaint about this state.

    Utah Doe Pronghorn

    Yeah, it was a simple and fun trip. The fires out there are bad though, that is part of the widemouth 2 fire in the background.

    Utah Doe Pronghorn

    I drew a doe pronghorn tag in Utah. They are "easy" hunts so I had my dad and son join me...on that note; my son got his Hunters Ed a couple weeks ago at 9 years old (almost 10). Drove up on Saturday with the plan to Scout that afternoon...but there were pronghorn everywhere. Saw 20 in the...

    Just got off the phone with the Biologist "This hunt was mandated by the commission to provide a premium opportunity for the best deer available in the area" I like the sounds of that...

    Side by side opinions

    You can take the stock shocks to shop like SDG and have them rebuilt / softened. Shock valving / stiffness will dramatically change that feel.

    Side by side opinions

    There are more aftermarket upgrades for the defender, but you can't go wrong with either. I have seen both extremely abused and keep going strong. Defender seats might be a little more comfortable but I would say get the one you get a better deal on.

    Side by side opinions

    I have taken some rangers in crazy locations. I wouldn't write them off. I have no issues with the generals, but would not be my first choice for a hunting rig. BTW you can always do some aftermarket suspension on rangers, defenders, etc...just cost $$. @ilovesprig there are still tons of...
