Hunting Utah’s general season

[Ocurtis]

I got up here to my camp spot late last night. Has no time to set up the tent, so slept under the stars, it was beautiful!

Woke up this morning early and was glassing an hour before the sun. Found this beauty!

Also found a couple forkies.

Hope my 4 pointer returns tomorrow!

Will keep updating here.

Looks like you are a world away from CA. Legal campfire and more deer than lions. Very nice!

Good luck, Owen.....Got to love Utah.

Found another forky tonight with 4 does. This one was pretty big for a forky though.

These photos here were taken from 1.5 miles away with a vortex razor on 48x and a phone skope. Phone was also zoomed to 5x

Well guys, I’m beyond frustrated and dejected. I have had 3 good shots on bucks, and missed all 3. One was at 360, kinda understandable cuz a tough set up.

Second was a perfect set up 150 yards.

3rd was 200 yards, and right before the shot realized my elevation turret was just free spinning. Best guess was it was still on a 375 zero. Missed.

I’m like a rookie all over. Back to the drawing board and starting over.

Will do a quick 2 hour hunt in the morning then heading home.

Been fun regardless.

Don’t quit man. We all miss, at least I know I do. You will get it done in the morning stay after them and don’t give up.

In all my days I’ve never had accuracy problems. Last year I was smoking pronghorns between 300-350 yards, and one of them was a fawn (not on purpose.)


I’ll figure it out eventually!

Don't give up stay at it.
Good luck in the morning.
I read that some Scopes turrets
Will not track or lose track.
Then lose zero. Do an equipment
Check.

Owen,

Tough call....If you can.....I'd check that rifle before I shoot at another animal (50 yds paper plate).

I shot a rock at 200 yards and hit 8” high so I think I know how it’s shooting now

Right on......Good luck tomorrow morning.

So that would mean you need to bring it down 4 MOA or 16 clicks to get back to a 200yd zero.

That sounds way off almost like the scope shifted or something. Explains why you are missing though. Hope you get a buck in the morning. It could be worse you could be going to work like me.

 

[Bowman]

Yes what they said I should have explained better.
If you can do an app ballistic of where zero is
In case 200 yards. See what the raise and drop at different distances.
100, 200, 300, 400 yards.
Since. There is no time to practice
To re-zero

Agree Jason
But the reason for my post have general idea what the bullet raise and or drop will be at driffrent distance.
