My friend and I were fortunate enough to draw an antelope hunt this year in the Warner unit. This will be my first time ever hunting antelope. My buddy hunted this unit about 10 years ago. So far, in preparation for the hunt, my friend has loaded some 130 gr Nosler ballistic tips for my .270. I have sighted my rifle in at the range and have my scope sighted in at 1.5 inches high at 200 yards and roughly 9 inches low at 300 yards. The load has a muzzle velocity of about 3,000 fps. We were thinking about making a hotter load, but I'm kind of leaning to just keeping it where it is. Anyway, my buddy has done a great job of filling me in on what the hunt may be like and what to expect, etc. I am not looking forward to dealing with the heat as I am 49 and he is 65. I was hoping to pick other peoples brains for additional information on tactics, tips on what to bring, how to hunt, etc. Thank you in advance for any helpful information you can provide :flag2:
Also, what do you guys do about ice, coolers etc. Do you get dry ice or get regular ice and replenish? Thanks
