I had to do that once forgot my knife...dont recommend that.Nope no knife either sharp rock only

A scope with MOA hash marks is a range finder once you learn to use it.Agreed. I haven't needed a range finder. The more you rely on high technology, the less instinctive you become. That my opinion.
When the baiting ban bypassed the wildlife board and put the power to pass the bill in the hands of the government that opened the door to an avenue we've never been down. It's now just a matter of who you know and what agenda you want to push. So am I going to pass it? No, but the baiting ban opened up Pandoras box. Didn't think that through when everybody was whining about baiting. With that said it will be entertaining to hear the crying when this tech bill is passed in the same manner.Big stiffy,
You sound like our friends from WY who keep telling us that the 90/10 is coming and act like they are in charge of the state, and then nothing happens. You going to ban range finders all by your lonesome big fella?
Rich
Interested to know what state you are referring to with the tech bill...With that said it will be entertaining to hear the crying when this tech bill is passed in the same manner.
Are you 12?It’s so true. It’s very obvious who hasn’t witnessed what happens on a GSL marsh opening day hahaha and they think this will be any different?
All the baiting ban did was become more in line what what several other states already do. Don't believe any of them say you can't use a range finder.When the baiting ban bypassed the wildlife board and put the power to pass the bill in the hands of the government that opened the door to an avenue we've never been down.

Hahaha nice logic, I've heard it all now!All the baiting ban did was become more in line what what several other states already do. Don't believe any of them say you can't use a range finder.
Even if you know how far something is, the animal still has the same "fair chase" aspects regardless if it is 200 yds or 510 yds.
It's actually easier to have a clean miss at 510 yds than at 200 yds giving the animal a better survival rate...
That might be the funniest **** I've ever read. You should go do stand up comedy at hunting expos. Im dying over here...All the baiting ban did was become more in line what what several other states already do. Don't believe any of them say you can't use a range finder.

I like your honesty. I disagree with you though. These smart rangefinders take all the guesswork out of your shot not just a data point. It has become common to take shots and kill animals at well over 600 yards. You absolutely need the rangefinder to have an exact shot formula. Take the rangefinder away and you are limited to the shot you know or are confident you can make. Undoubted when rangefinders go it will make the hunt more of a hunt, not just a shot/kill.The issues isnt range finders. It is guys thinking they have the ability to shoot animals at ranges that they do not have the ability. It gives them a false sense of confidence.
I have a gun that is a "1000" yard gun with turrets and what not. I do not have the ability to shot that far. I do not have the ability to shoot 600 yards. In fact, in being completely honest with myself 450 is about my max and I need the right conditions to do it. Some may give me **** since this might be a chip shot to some but this is how far I practice and how far I am confident. The range finder isn't making me pull the trigger, it gives me one data point into making a decision on if I can make an ethical shot.
Take away the range finger and guys will be doing Kentucky yardage and Kentucky windage. I dont think guys will be less likely to pull the trigger and I doubt it changes people ethics. Just more stories of "well it was last light on the last day so I had to try it".
I think we owe it to the animal to be efficient killers. If a range finder helps with that then it should be used.
Hahaha nice logic, I've heard it all now!

Haha yes a formula based on humidity, shot angle, caliber, distance, windage, it is shooting not hunting.That's why we need to keep dumb rangefinders that just tell you how far something is instead of giving the shooting "formula"(? w.t.h.).
Take away the RF and I'm still confident with a 500 yd shot. Maybe you should just practice more?

You got it all wrong bud. It’s bullet weight, ballistic coefficient, velocity, temperature, barometric pressure, altitude, humidity, sight height, distance, and shot angle. Now windage? That’s a variable. Can’t put math to that. Wind at the shooter vs wind on target could be different speeds... hell they could even be going opposite directions ?? But I do appreciate you trying to be educated to help your argument ?Haha yes a formula based on humidity, shot angle, caliber, distance, windage, it is shooting not hunting.
Haha thanks for proving my point.....sounds like I needed to pay attention more in physics class, instead I was probably on the mountain hunting....is it physics? Maybe Geometry? Either way it isn't hunting!You got it all wrong bud.

We really need fall to get here, someone suggest banning range finders and we are 118 post deep
I'm glad you can calculate your long range shots. Good luck doing it without your rangefinder. Maybe you can sneak up on them with your ebike?Your point of what? That you don’t know what you’re talking about...
I'm just stating the facts of what's coming. Not trying to sway anyone's opinion. It won't matter what you or I think.No sh!t,dudes will ramble post after post trying prove that they are right and everyone who disagrees with their way of thinking is wrong
Can you show us where the range finder touched you? ???I'm glad you can calculate your long range shots. Good luck doing it without your rangefinder. Maybe you can sneak up on them with your ebike?
Once you have a trajectory (drop) table, which can be done at the house, a "smart" rangefinder is irrelevant because you know your holdover. Anyone can find the length from the brisket to top of back of any animal and can adjust elevation just by the way it looks in the reticle, so, they're range finding in a different way. Not much variation in +/- 25 yds if you shoot center of mass behind the shoulder.I'm glad you can calculate your long range shots. Good luck doing it without your rangefinder.

That's great info......sooooo why do you use one? Why are you so upset about them getting banned?Once you have a trajectory (drop) table, which can be done at the house, a "smart" rangefinder is irrelevant because you know your holdover.

People who actually know how their guns shoot will take those 600 yd shots anyway without a rangefinder. Snipers pre-tech did it all the time.
So, what's your point to all this other than you just don't like rangefinders and "thinking" UT is going to ban a device that horn porn outfitters rely on to get their rich, fat dentist clients a hero pic with the other 15 flat brimmers that spotted the animal?
You want to ban something, ban that...
Wait... range finders are getting banned?That's great info......sooooo why do you use one? Why are you so upset about them getting banned?
Haha very fitting "Rage" finders......this thread alone has sparked some rage. Wait til they are banned and we will really hear the whining.Ancient and modern rage finders.
Because they really don't change the game, and it's just one more law that our wonderful government(s) hoist upon us. If it were really a major factor in fair chase, I might be on board. But range finders are way down the list of things to worry about in that regard.That's great info......sooooo why do you use one? Why are you so upset about them getting banned?

Yes, but don't worry you can still go out in the desert and range rocks to kill at 1000 yards. Oh I forget you don't need yours, so don't stress about it.Wait... range finders are getting banned?
No sh!t? Where are they getting banned?Yes, but don't worry you can still go out in the desert and range rocks to kill at 1000 yards. Oh I forget you don't need yours, so don't stress about it.
Go get your entry in for Hunt Warz. Right up your alley!No sh!t? Where are they getting banned?
Can I use a range finder?Go get your entry in for Hunt Warz. Right up your alley!
It’s classified, there is nothing more we can do! Just pray. Just Pray !No sh!t? Where are they getting banned?
Starting to think your obsession with a "ban" is the reason for your username...That's great info......sooooo why do you use one? Why are you so upset about them getting banned?
You an Elk can be partners on Hunt Warz. you can even sleep in the same sleeping bag. Put your rangefinders under your pillow to keep them safe.It’s classified, there is nothing more we can do! Just pray. Just Pray !
Come on man, I was hoping to partner up with you! You shoot... I’ll call out ranges. Deal? Deal.You an Elk can be partners on Hunt Warz. you can even sleep in the same sleeping bag. Put your rangefinders under your pillow to keep them safe.
Too bad your rangefinder doesn't measure in millimeters RR. If you calculate millimeters the same as a long range shooter you might come up with an inch??? You still won't be able to see it though. Tough luck!Starting to think your obsession with a "ban" is the reason for your username...
I use one archery hunting because I can’t tell exact ranges and I don’t want to wound an animal. Not sure that is a popular thing to do but I’m guiltyI chimed in a while back.
I'm still waiting for a single guy to explain why he NEEDS a rangefinder to shoot a deer.
Lots of stupid banter. Lots of blah, blah, blah.
Not a single guy has stepped up to tell us he can't shoot without a computer telling him how.
If your dependent on rangefinders and ballistic calculators, and it's not a big deal, why not publically celebrate it.?

You’re over here waiting for a “why does anyone need a range finder”.....
I’m over here waiting for some facts that they are actually getting banned...
I guess we are both just getting let down ?
Sorry hoss this thread is only about the fact of range finders being banned. Not the integrity of doing things in a primitive manner.So I'm still waiting?
I see Doyle's page from time to time, he's honest, puts the LR in front of the animal.
I've YET to see a dude posing with his ballistic computer, range finder, over a bait pile with a cam in the background.
It's ALMOST as if guys are ashamed? I wonder why?
Yes. Also the first to have Hunt Warz! Are you surprised?Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe there are any states or countries that currently have outlawed the use of range finders for hunting purposes…. And you’re telling me that utah is going to be the first on that very short list?
I don’t think so.
Yea, so did the op specifically say they were only outlawing them for rifle hunters? Guess I didn’t read that part. Will you highlight it for me?Archery and rifle are different, by about 1500 yrds
Don’t worry Coop, they ain’t going anywhere. ??Yea, so did the op specifically say they were only outlawing them for rifle hunters? Guess I didn’t read that part. Will you highlight it for me?
I wouldn’t wanna muddy up this thread with factsDon’t worry Coop, they ain’t going anywhere. ??
I completely agree with this. I don't care if I have to use a spear. I just want the chance to hunt big bucks. Even if my kill rate drops to once a decade.I’d sure rather have a tag than not, and if to achieve that meant giving up some of my equipment, I’m good with that.
Get those restrictions in place and I’ll let some of my gear collect dust while I go hunting every year.
Opportunity is being lost each year and in my opinion it’s not worth it in exchange for hunters having a greater advantage over the game.
Sorry hoss this thread is only about the fact of range finders being banned. Not the integrity of doing things in a primitive manner.
be like me shaming you for driving your truck to your hunting spot. Or using a computer/smart phone to sit on this forum and shame others for using modern tech and not choosing to be like you. Look around you... it’s 2021, I guarantee you use modern things on a daily basis to achieve an end goal. You are no better than anyone else. You hunt your way, and other people will hunt theirs. ?
Nah, pretty sure I'll get along just fine when the bill goes into place. You on the other hand may struggle. Even the thought of losing your rangefinder has thrown you through a loop. Interesting.Right? Where would the fun in that be? At the rate this is going BigDouche, and hoss will be rioting and screaming “defund the DWR”
Are deer numbers down? Yeah. Is quality down? Yeah. Is it because of hunting? No. Half the guys out there couldn’t kill a deer if it got in the truck with them.$50 says you've bitched about deer # being low, or lack of "quality" animals
Still waiting for them facts Cause my resources claim otherwise ??Nah, pretty sure I'll get along just fine when the bill goes into place. You on the other hand may struggle. Even the thought of losing your rangefinder has thrown you through a loop. Interesting.
Coop isn't a reliable resource. This one won't go through the board. Easy sale in the senate, Cox is ready to sign it when it comes across his desk.Still waiting for them facts Cause my resources claim otherwise ??
So you should have no problem posting the purposed bill?Coop isn't a reliable resource. This one won't go through the board. Easy sale in the senate, Cox is ready to sign it when it comes across his desk.
No cuz New Mexico had hunt warz first. Research what you preach as factz! Utah hasn’t been featured in season 1 yet.Yes. Also the first to have Hunt Warz! Are you surprised?
Good for New Mex they should be proud!No cuz New Mexico had hunt warz first. Research what you preach as factz! Utah hasn’t been featured in season 1 yet.
Haha and you are?Coop isn't a reliable resource. This one won't go through the board. Easy sale in the senate, Cox is ready to sign it when it comes across his desk.
You stated it was utah that had it first?Good for New Mex they should be proud!
This isn’t about facts that became clear when all you heard was crickets from the opYou stated it was utah that had it first?
you’re spewing made up facts so fast you can’t remember them all
Public doesn't have a say. Just like the bait ban. Surfaced and was done within a few months. Squeaky wheel gets the grease boys, and it's all about who you know these days. You all should know that by now. Quit stressing, lots of animals were killed pre tech boom. It just takes a little hunting skill. You can probably still hunt rabbits, rocks, maybe a coyote with your long range rigs.Haha and you are?
the governor’s last name fits him well….
you’d think this one would make headlines in the public like the cam and bait bill did. Crickets.
just another no namer stirrin the pot.

He can’t afford one. Gay porn doesn’t pay very well from what I’m told.You don’t have a long range rig?
I was gonna say he must be broke, and found his savage axis at the bottom of his cereal box ?He can’t afford one. Gay porn doesn’t pay very well from what I’m told.
I apologize I didn't know where Hunt Warz originated. Please give New Mexico, and SFW my deepest apologies. Also good luck in the Hunt Warz draw! I hope you get picked!You stated it was utah that had it first?
you’re spewing made up facts so fast you can’t remember them all
Your Dad gave you good advise.He can’t afford one. Gay porn doesn’t pay very well from what I’m told.
Wheaties. Bruc, errr… Caitlin Jenner. It’s all making sense now.I was gonna say he must be broke, and found his savage axis at the bottom of his cereal box ?
He gave me even better advice. And that was to make sure you do everything in your power to ensure a quick clean kill. Knowing the exact yardage is definitely a big part of that.Your Dad gave you good advise.
In person and on the internet, is 2 very different things.My dads advice to me was not to argue with stupid people. But here I am ?
Nice. True colors come out. You guys are a trip. So worried about losing your rangefinders you turn into teenagers. Between you, elk and Coop who is going to cry the hardest when this bill passes?He gave me even better advice. And that was to make sure you do everything in your power to ensure a quick clean kill. Knowing the exact yardage is definitely a big part of that.
Glad I got to know my dad. Smart man. Sorry you didn’t have that same fortune. Probably would have kept you out of the free porn industry. At least the gay part of it anyway. Railing shot out 50 year old milfs isn’t much better… but at least they don’t have a big stiffy wanting attention!
Well maybe they should ban the internet. Too many people like big getting their feels hurtIn person and on the internet, is 2 very different things.
After the beat down you’re getting for being a troll... I hope that sh!t passes ? I mean I’d just continue on breaking shoulders and punching tags ?Nice. True colors come out. You guys are a trip. So worried about losing your rangefinders you turn into teenagers. Between you, elk and Coop who is going to cry the hardest when this bill passes?
Yeah I’m still waiting to see this bill as well.What bill?
I guess you when it gets crumpled up and gets used for something else by mr. cocksNice. True colors come out. You guys are a trip. So worried about losing your rangefinders you turn into teenagers. Between you, elk and Coop who is going to cry the hardest when this bill passes?
You must be so tough. Does Coop stroke your ego while you two ride tandem on your ebike?After the beat down you’re getting for being a troll... I hope that sh!t passes ? I mean I’d just continue on breaking shoulders and punching tags ?
To be honest I borrowed that bike. I couldn’t buy one after the long range rig, and heat seeking bullets. But nice bike tho.My money is on Elk. He will ride off crying on his ebike. How big of chain you use to lock that thing up Peewee?
Nice bull you killed. Congrats.To be honest I borrowed that bike. I couldn’t buy one after the long range rig, and heat seeking bullets. But nice bike tho.
Thanks. Shot it with my 1000 yard muzzleloaderNice bull you killed. Congrats.
