I got an email yesterday that South Dakota is limiting non-resident archery deer tags to 2,200. An article online said there was 36,000 tags sold last year, of which about 20% were non-residents. So roughly SD sees 7,200 non-resident archery deer hunters. This decision cuts down the tags by 70%...
I got one for a really good deal, if I hate it I can always sell it. I live in Minnesota for a bit and there’s no public ranges or public land to shoot on. I’ll be moving to MT in a few weeks and that won’t be an issue
From all I hear I think something can be done to improve the area and save the Elk, Deer, and Moose. I definitely want to be part of that if something was to happen, which I think should.
My worry isn’t really the recoil in the field, it’s a flinch from the apprehension. I’ve shot a 30-30 and 30-06 plenty, and 7mm-08, I’m saying I’m a rookie because I haven’t shot much else and I don’t know what to expect.
I’ve been hearing the .300 win mag is a tough gun to handle in terms in terms of recoil. Is this true? 30-06 doesn’t bother me at all, but I’m not sure how that compares. I’m a rookie when it comes to rifles so I’m just curious on the general thoughts.
Thanks everyone for the input. I really apprecite it. If I work hard enough and put in the time scouting I know I can get it done. Then maybe I can pass what I learned on to the next guy.
Hey all,
Just moving to Kalispell from Minnesota, and the main reason is hunting. Wondering what your general thoughts are on units 103, 130, 132? I hear elk density is low, but Im wondering if I work harder than everyone why can't I be more successful than the 13% success rates are around...
