up until now , it was a $10 application fee to get in each one of the elk draws . so if you applied in all three it cost $30 . I'm not sure if this has passed , what they are talking about now is , the applicant has to purchase a hunting license BEFORE being able to apply . I think this...
I've only used three presses , with one being a Hornady LNL , progressive . my starter kit came with the Lyman turret top press . I've seen it called a " spartan " . like this one ...
early on , before I started applying , I heard a game warden accompanied the hunter , and pointed out the one to shoot , about like a cull hunt . I'm not sure if that's true , just what I've heard . the only thing I know of now , is you have to hunt in the area the tag is for . if you use a...
I did this at a state bullseye match . it's easy to load a squib . I use a progressive for pistol ammo . I was double checking the powder weight . I'd dump powder in a case then take that case out of the press and weigh it on my scale . I "THINK" I put the case back in the press ...
I'm not sure if any of you guys apply for the PA Elk hunting license draw . the draw system for the PA elk tags has been getting scrutinized . I've felt a few times it's not 100% legitimate , but then again , how would I know . I'd have to look , but I think I have 23 preference points...
I'll have to check on this . my birthday is June 27 . new licenses go on sale , I think , July 1 . maybe I can get my lifetime this year ??
EDIT to add ;
in your second post , the link , it says birthday before June 30 . so it looks like I'm eligible this year . thank you for...
it was my sons 243 that got me into using partition bullets . I had varying results with bullets , some needing long tracking jobs . after I switched to the partition bullet , my tracking his deer was over . most , or all , fell withing his sight
the partition will penetrate that , for sure . I'm a shoot them tight behind the shoulder guy . the ballistic tip or partition works well for me . a lot depends on your velocity . higher velocity cartridges can benefit from a more robust bullet . I see your using a 308 , or a 30.06 ...
as was mentioned public ground is tough . chances are you will have company . so keep safety in mind . there is a collapsed blind lying beside this open field on the woods edge .
in the middle of the pic , a camera watching the woods . mounted on the tree right under the...
we took our morning walk in an area I keep bumping into turkey , and seeing turkey sign . I took a few pics , maybe they'll help you .
turkey will walk down open roads , or gas lines . this line is a fiber optic line .
turkey scratching .
turkey are where you find...
the Partition is a fantastic bullet . if I could only have one bullet for hunting everything , it would be the partition . the soft front mushrooms and makes a good wound , the rear stays in one piece and drives through . the partition would be a step up from the core lokt . both are...
you can hunt them in the trees , I've taken them in thick woods , and big open woods . if you have an opening , or a grassy road , the turkey tend go there . you'll cover more ground by walking the high ridges , listening for gobbles around daybreak , than walking looking for sign . go...
