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...

Welcome aboard! Lots of good information, look forward to your future posts.

I don't use any electronic practice system for actual hunting. I have used them for competitive shooting, especially in moving from target to target and sighting. I question whether the absence of actual recoil and the functioning of your firearm during a reload can be simulated without actual...

I think we had some new geese migrate in a couple of days ago. They have been resting on the ice of my 2 acre pong the last couple of days. They are real weary when I walk towards the the pond. Do a bunch of squawking and leave.

Yes. they rest on the pond during the day. We had about 100 honkers all week. We have about 5000 honkers that are non migratory, stay here year round. The goose crap gets a couple of inches deep in the spring when they have goslings and molted.

Great sunrise with my morning coffee today.

The only social media I do is FaceBook. I keep in touch with out of state friends, former co works and schoolfriends with it.

I read other forums and some of the stuff going on is just crazy (IMO). Lots of big game hunters are saying they are going to .22/.24 caliber for big game. They tout low recoil and new bullet design as the reason. I just don't get it. If recoil bothers them, what's wrong with a muzzle break, I...

The first I have heard of them is your post. I googled their organization and it is new , around 1 year old. I looked over their web site and I was not overly impressed. We'll see how they get their message out.

I use a Harris too.

I have used a Primos for years. it doubles as a walking stick too. I started out with a single leg and I have gone to 2 legs. It is more stable when shooting than the single leg. As I have gotten older I really depend on the walking stick portion a lot.

Whitetails from Wyoming? It has some great WT bucks, just got to find them.

Thank you to all my brother veterans (especially the ones here on Eastman's) who's service is the reason we celebrate our freedoms today. Their sacrifices are the reason we celebrate. TUN HUT! Salute................
