    Hunting Solo?

    All of my trips out west have been solo so far, although I dont venture to grizz country or do backcountry hunts. I tried to get people to go on the first hunts out there, but no one ever would so I just went by myself. I actually really enjoy the solo part of it. My success rests on no ones...

    Elk Rifle

    I like the idea of holding dead on as well, I think I’ll try a 275 zero. Thanks for the advice!

    Elk Rifle

    I get what you’re saying about accuracy, but when the time comes there’s gonna be lots of factors that I plan on happening. I’d like a bullet that will still easily kill an elk when the shot isn’t perfect. That’s a big reason I chose the 300.

    Elk Rifle

    Never hand loaded in my life and have never been one to worry much about bullet weight/type either. I’m new to out west and have always hunted east coast whitetails.

    Elk Rifle

    I picked up a box of federal 180gr trophy copper since that’s what was available and I’m itching to try it out. Has anyone tried these with good results? I plan to keep shots within 500 yards.

    Elk Rifle

    Picked up my first “elk” rifle today. Tikka T3x in 300 win mag. Now I just need to find some ammo for it and figure which load would be best for elk.

    I agree. This deer tastes just as good if not better than most whitetail I’ve eaten

    Your Oldest Animal

    A 7 year old snow goose is my oldest, or possibly a buck I killed a couple of years ago. Has bases not much smaller than coke cans. The taxidermist threw the jawbone away after I told him to keep it :rolleyes:

    Rolling out

    Really wish I had a cool story about the hunt including hiking through a blizzard and over a volcano but I don’t. I had just gotten back to my truck and was leaving the area when this guy was standing on a ledge at 125 yards looking at me. He continued to stare at me while I got out of the truck...

    Rolling out

    Got it done on day three. BIG THANKS to MObowhunter156 and his friend Wally. Met up with these guys a couple of days ago and exchanged numbers for scouting reports. Told them I had a buck down and they came right over to help me get it out. 100 percent stand up guys. I’m thrilled with this guy...
