    Elk Rifle

    I wonder if more elk were wounded and lost back in the day? shoot 1....don't find it, shoot a different one... I know way back when there were essentially no fences, people just hunted everyone's property.... also didn't many guys back in the day use smaller cartridges with lesser bullets? I...

    Sources of Revenue for Wyoming Game and Fish

    I notice Non-residents flipping the bill.... essentially non--res generate 80%, residents 20% residents get 80% of the tags non-res 20% maybe one day WYoming will try to generate the most money it can and just sell as many non-res tags at full non-res price and whatever is left can be sold to...

    Pre, RUT, Post??

    What's your preference for when to hunt elk if you could only pick 1 time period? I feel like most think the rut is the end all be all, and sure you'll hear and see more bulls, but does that actually translate into killing more elk/being more successful? I'm debating a pre rut archery elk...

    New gun 300 win mag question

    if you can handle a 12ga slug, you can handle a 300win.mag, especially with a good brake. You DON'T need a 300mag to kill elk, but it's a solid round none the less. I have a 300win and 340wby and plan to get a 300wsm one day and probably shoot 150/165gr as a lighter weight elk magnum setup...

    Archery ELK, pre, rut, post??

    So of course you hear and see more elk during the peak of the Rut, but does that actually lead to success/killing? ex. do you think sitting water pre-rut in New Mexico you could be successful vs calling/hunting during the rut peak? also what about just pre rut and hunting vs sitting water...

    1st Elk hunt White River NaTional Forest.

    Watch out for the Orange Army :) good luck, I would shoot the first bull/cow you see, if you get a shot.... I believe that was 1 of my first hunts myself, rifle, otc, colorado, white river.... I had starry eyes of big 6x6 bulls, figure out ahead of time what you'd be happy with..... ie, a...

    Best States?

    PS- I really think many applicants with sub-maximal points should try to draw a cow tag etc... as for moose, for sheep I dunno, perhaps a ewe tag? but to each their own, I just think I'd rather hunt a cow moose at 75yo than wait another 20 years and hunt a bull at 95 if even possible....is my...

    Best States?

    Wow! good and bad, IMO! the units with random tags may become flooded....with applicants.... IMO, a guy with 0-15pts shouldn't even apply for a ram tag in WY, unless is a random one....

    Best States?

    Good Luck. Have a goal and work towards it, all you can really do is apply, save, pray, lol. I think this is why they now have the NA25 slam instead of the 29 etc... the costs associated with desert bighorn, polar bear, etc... btw have you seen the cost of an alaska yukon moose hunt? I just...

    Savage introduces New Impulse Big Game rifle

    I wish they made attractive rifles. I know they're cheap and shoot great, but c'mon. I don't mind synthetic stocks, but this modular design kills me. also that action may be the ugliest I've seen, can't they clean it up, slim it a bit? it also seems like their rifles are either heavy, or...

    draw weight ??????????????????????

    I assume you're already doing rotator cuff exercises?? if not, start! I'd recommend some rubber exercise bands.... don't over do it, but you can look up the rotator cuff movements/exercises, and that assuming you don't have a bad tear etc.... can really help strengthen that. I would think...

    Really want to take an elk/moose with bow.... of course funds are tight, so debating what where etc...how.... is a bit tricky. open to a mule deer bow hunt too, but again, really wanting to be successful, not just go on a hike with a bow... also with quite a few points in a a many western...
