Back in 1993 I saw the largest buck I have ever personally seen...it was totally inaccessible (other side of a relatively large river)...but at 200 yards, its nicely symmetric 12 points were clearly visible...it was cruising a steep bank between the river and a highway a bit before noon...in my...

Several factors at work here... 1. Fewer hunters are mainly due to the access vs lease issue and the simple cost of leases...hunters paying big money for those leases are mainly focused on big buck harvests (and assuming multiyear leases willing to let 120-140s walk)...if any does are...

Be prepared to experiment some...sorry... A number of years ago, I purchased a prototype Wolf (Beartooth Magnum) and set it up to hunt Fort Knox...100 grains Pyrodex RS and a 245 grain Powerbelt Aerotip (I actually started with the 250 grain TC Shockwaves and though super accurate was darned...

A lot of the single shot slug guns (like the H&R) use oversized barrels...a 12 gauge blank bored to a rifled 20 gauge...this wall thickness provides adequate space to target crown the barrel...these single shot rifled slug guns are already inherently accurate and by cutting the barrel back to 18...

Envy is not a good thing and it seems very pervasive in the sport of hunting... Hunting is very individual...based on opportunity, deer availability and personal objectives...as long as you, individually, are satisfied, then the opinions of everyone else are inconsequential... I, personally...

Not sure this would accomplish very much... Would be interested in hearing the reasoning? The evolution for shotguns would be pretty quick...all of those who have seriously hunted at Fort Knox already have setups that will easily reach to 200 yards (further than most of my rifle areas usually...

It absolutely does work but you have to be careful as to avoid scent contamination... I buy a new set of 3-4 scent wicks and run a length of paracord through them about 3' long...tie a loop knot in the end...dip each wick into the doe estrus of your choice (my best results always seemed to come...

The new Academy Sports in Lexington had several boxes of those yesterday (10/29)...

When I first seriously started hunting Fort Knox, I bought a Wolf prototype (Beartooth Magnum) and developed a Ft Knox max load...100 grains loose Pyrodex RX under a 250 grain TC Shockwave bullet...while not an easy bullet to load, it printed right at a 1" group at 100 yards (impressed nearly...

Once about 20 years ago on a WMA first Saturday in November (planning on going to that same spot tomorrow)... Shortly after daybreak a nice 8 point (120" or so and about 120 pounds) slipped into the wood lot I was watching about 60 yards away and bedded down...I waited about 30 minutes before...

Interesting question... Without a time machine to go back to verify it is actually fairly impossible to know... I am sure there are some historical accounts out there that may mention only loading 5 rounds vs 6 rounds but I have not accessed any. TV and movies may have pushed the idea as well...

Take a look at the Savage Stevens 320...3" pump shotgun...made in China...kind of a cross between a Winchester 1200/1300 and a Mossberg 500... I picked up a turkey model before season (with rail attached--I already had a turkey scope) with 21" barrel and extended XF tube for $250...it shot...

Taylorsville Lake has a solid hunting population...but it is still not an easy hunt... It gets heavy pressure during bow season and is a great place to hunt... There are good bucks there... There are good odds of seeing deer...killing deer not so easy... Have not seen an easy hunt since Fort...

Not sure what your budget is but take a look at the Excalibur crossbows being sold on Amazon (less than $500)... Excalibur bows are extremely lightweight and easy to handle...accuracy is ridiculous (do not shoot for groups unless your arrow budget is very large)...These bows are pretty much...

My largest buck came off of Kleber during the December quota hunt in 2013...it is NOT an easy area to hunt because of the limited access (position of the gates)...the terrain is not particularly bad nor is the underbrush (other WMAs seem to be more grown up)...I have been hunting the area for...

Scopes and glasses are probably the most extreme example of getting what you pay for... That said, for most hunters, high dollar scopes are really not necessary...a plain duplex reticle in a 3-9x 1" tube second focal plane will get the job done 99.9% of the time... What you need to do is...

I have tried this newer design in 7mmRM and they are fantastic for accuracy...3/8" groups from my Savage 110...they actually are very lethal though they tend to be fragile up close (less than 100 yards)...for shots in the 200-300 yard range, you would be hard pressed to find a better bullet...

I have nothing but bad things to say about them... The silver tip is a thin Aluminum coating over lead that was suppose to provide "controlled expansion"...it is an old design... I have killed TWO bucks with them...both of which I had to actually finish with my Colt Commander 45 Auto...one...

For 95% of my hunting duties, I wear a pair of Danners that I got 20 years ago...wonderfully comfortable though a bit heavy...they have the airbob sole to release mud-which it does not...after 20 years, still waterproof...400 grams of Insulation works well until the snow is on the ground... For...

The world human population must be reduced... Currently at 7.9 billion (with most fully developed countries already experiencing a negative replacement level fertility rate)...this means that increases in population at this point is due to countries least able to sustainably provide for their...
