Native Texan but I've been living in South Carolina's lowcountry for a couple decades now and I take advantage of the outdoors any chance I get.
A few years back I decided to start recording my outdoor adventures. It's added a unique challenge to hunting and fishing but I'm having a great time doing it.
Thank you! Unfortunately I don't have any experience in that unit. We got a low point unit. I'm building my preference points back up and hope to get into one of those harder units in the future
Good luck! I hope they tag along and yall make some great memories. I'm building preference points back up and hope to get into one of those harder units in a few years.
Mine came with the standard fixed sights but they're pressed in. The cut is a Novak cut. I bought the EGW mount (#49311) for the optics and pressed the old one out and put the new one in. I purchased mine back in 2015 but it still looks the same sights mine came with on the Dan Wesson product page for it. If yours looks like this, danwessonfirearms.com/product/razorback/ the same mount would probably work for you. Just verify it's still Novak cut.
Nice Bucks! I watched both hunt videos from this trip and it looks like some vast, WINDY country. I drew unit 1 as well for the 2024 season. I was thinking about exploring the northwest area of the unit because there seems to be quite a bit of BLM. Any tips/recommendations?
I ended up figuring that out later when I tested it with a bird so now the one with the metal loops is what I carry them out with and I have my decoys on a 550 cord setup with a carabiner
I didn't put in for a tag this year. Building my preference points back up but I can give you some pointers if you got one. Hopefully you did because it's a great time.
I live 20 minutes from Chattanooga lol. Great hunt enjoyed the hunt. Planning on our first antelope hunt for next year. Looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing the hunt. May I ask did you hunt the first part or middle part of season. Trying to guess about the hunting pressure
I just applied for tags in units 16,1,15, have you guys hunted any of those? And if so what should I be prepared for? Other than walking miles on end lol, I understand thats the game on public land
Aaron, this hunt was actually filmed in unit 1. If you have a spotting scope, I'd recommend bringing it to save you some walking if you spot some off in the distance. Use a tool like OnX to find right of way access and roads for public access. We didn't start driving the public roads on the unit until the 2nd day but after we did we were able to cover a lot more miles. Prep for at least 3 seasons of weather. We were lucky enough to miss the 40 degree temp drop by a couple days but we got warm, cool, and wet days. If your camp won't have a wind break make sure you have some extra tent stakes and way to secure gear that might get wings, we had a wind break but when a storm rolled in it was still blowing plenty hard. Check regulations for open flames if you're camping. Where we were at you couldn't have any campfires other than my camp stove that we used to cook on. We only had one incident on public and it was someone put a board of nails across a right of way access point and I ended up getting 4 holes in a tire, so definitely bring a plug kit for your tires. Hopefully nothing like that happens to you but the terrain can be rough too and more than one way to get a hole in your tire. If you get drawn for hunt unit 1 reach back out and let me know and we can have an offline discussion and I can give you all the intel we got from that trip. Good luck and happy hunting.
@@SunburntSportsman thanks man, I will definitely keep that in mind. Based off last years draw results I have a almost %100 chance of drawing one of the units with the amount of points I have so Ill be hitting you guys up again soon and watching your vids.
Great review👍 I have the 300 and have had no issues. I use a rubber band doubled on my box call for the exact same reason, even though i carry chalk, might not have time in the heat of the moment. Only difference I noticed is my pot call holders have keeper bungie straps and my shell holder is plastic lined for waterproofing. I was going to cut it out but it wasn't so crinkley this season.
I started carrying chalk in my pack too, just to have it. That divider is nice but it sure does love eating chalk. I usually use one of my pot caller spots to hold my microphone if moving around and have my camera stowed away. Use my decoy straps as my turkey tote too.
@@OlBocephus thank you. I'm about to start an overland trailer build so next time I do a trip like that the camp site will be even better. Good luck on your draw!
@@mike_hunt_fish_trap if I get a chance I might give it a try. Maybe use one of my older shotguns because I'm not sure what that turkey choke constriction would do. If I do it, I'll definitely film it.
@Lever Action Outdoors I actually used those cheap Winchester #5's in a modified moss500 and I knew I'd have to get him in close and I stoned him but was not impressed with the spread at 17ish yards one pellet hit the heart like wtf it should have only hit him in the neck/head
Nice dude, I’m looking at getting a Razorback, an old release from Dan Wessons had an imagine of a boar on the frame, super cool. Enjoying your content keep it up 👍
Thank you. I love my Razorback. It didn't come with the boar on it but it does have Razorback engraved on the slide. The stainless steel is low maintenance and I've put mine through hell. It's been dropped from trees, dropped in the swamp, bumped on everything in the woods and it just keeps on driving tacks.
I threaded all the hardware into the climbing sticks before spraying so none of it was able to get into the threads. If I hadn't done that I would've definitely covered the threads because it would probably gum them up.
It's what was in stock when I went to buy them. I've since got a few boxes of the 180s but haven't had a chance to put them on paper and tune the sight to them.
No problem. Glad it was helpful. We just decided to grab whatever was on the shelf and compare them. Different chokes might pattern different but probably won't be too far off. Good luck this year!
Got my 1st Oregon antelope last August at 350 yards. Great public land hunt but takes far more points than Wyoming. Just got him back from the taxidermist last week. Sure a pretty animal! We made heart tacos. Yum.
That's awesome. I'd like to get up to Oregon one day that's more than a layover. Unfortunately for me my follow up shot destroyed the heart but we did have some tacos
@@SunburntSportsman ours just started I called out fish and game last night to make sure it's legal In my district I guess there is only a few hundred people in Maine that hunt them.
Awesome work guys on getting a nice pronghorn buck. I’m planning on doing a Wyoming rifle pronghorn and mule deer 🦌 hunting trip this fall. I have 4 points each and will be driving out from West Virginia instead of SC.
Thank you. Not sure if you've picked a zone based on the amount of your points but this might help, wgfd.wyo.gov/Hunting/Drawing-Odds/2022-Drawing-Odds I pulled the draw odds from the 4 years prior and started stacking them up to see where we'd have the best opportunity. With any luck I'll be headed to WV this year to turkey hunt, just waiting on some stuff at work to get scheduled so I can take time off.
Cool! Another nice buck! Great shooting in that wind! I'll take my .270 Win as well... Savage 114 Classic with 130 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. Great videos, guys! Congrats on your success!
I'm not sure what .270 ammo he's using but he's knocking em down with it. Wind was extra rough that day, probably what allowed us to sneak in as close as we did.
Thanks man! It was a great time, already planning the next one out there once we get some preference points back. Next on the Wyoming list is mule deer because we haven't spent those points yet, then elk.
Enjoyed the video, I’m looking pretty hard at this exact vest. One thing that concerns me is the seat; does it flip up off your butt when you’re walking?
Yeah, you can flip it up so it's not bouncing on your legs and stays secure. Here is an older video from Knight & Hale showing how to do it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OCQbU7Jz5cI.html
