I think you are right about most shooters. Once I get a new (to me) hunting rifle, I work on developing a custom load for that rifle. Sometimes it may take 50 rounds to do that. I usually go to the range a couple of time a year and shoot my hunting rifles. Once I get the load developed and it...

Just my opinion as an "oultimer"................ I would pick a state and go with an outfitter as his hunt of a lifetime. I did that when I was 70 and don't regret it.

Thanks for posting, I hadn't heard about this before.

Every hunting rifle I own is capable of killing an animal beyond 500 yards, me not so much. It took a lot of work to find the correct load that the rifle liked and would shoot that distance. All my rifles are "old school" calibers and it took a lot of work to get that load. Just because you have...

I like it.

I read the manufacturers description. It has internal batteries.....for sensor and controller and air compressor power from your 12v system? When you need to adjust air pressure you stop and hookup an airline to each tire?

Manual system? How do you set/reset tires. How difficult was it to install? I am not dedicated off roader, but I do use my 4x4 F350 off road hunting and it could be useful to have.

IMO it ain't hunting! I have taken an antelope at 460 yards, but I'll never shoot that far again, 400 yards is my self imposed limit.

Nope. I have a .257 Wby and a 25-06. Why get another .25 when mine do the job and have for over 60 years. I have killed over 100 deer and antelope with my .25-06.

My 2 hunting pards from Calif and me are going to put in for deer tags in Wyoming. I will be applying for antelope and elk here in Colorado.

I would call Wyoming and ask the same question. One thing to keep in mind, the WMA"s change every year and I am not sure they have posted the new ones for 2026.

Question: How are for eating?

That was the problem with my hunt, feast or famine. No elk, no snow so they were still on the mountain in Utah.

My .300 Wby is a #1 Ruger that I just love. Never taken more than one shot any anything I've shot with it.

I think every bullet (& caliber) you mentioned will deal with an elk, the important thing is shot placement. I shot my first elk with my handloads using a 150 gr bullet in my 30-06 nearly 60 years ago. I use a .300 Wby (again my handloads) with a 180 gr bullet. I did shoot a cow elk with my...
