    Elk cow calls: Imaka da bull crazy? What do you guys use?

    I've been trying to find a great sounding cow elk call and I was wondering if you guys had any really good recommendations. I've heard that the Imaka da Bully crazy call is really good and can make a wide variety of cow sounds. Is there a huge difference between the long range Imaka da bull...

    Monster NM Coues Deer found in the Gila

    I found this monsterous Coues Deer head in September while scouting for elk. He was six miles in the backcountry of the Gila Wilderness. Me and my buddy measured him up and he scores 108" SCI even with the missing brow tine. He makes it over the SCI gold minimum and we were very excited. If he...

    Hey David, I agree, some of those rifle hunts can be insane! I usually hunt cows with my -30.06 and i use 180 grain bullets. I use core-lokts which are cheap and have plenty of knockdown power! I've been blessed to kill cow elk from 2008-2010 in NM in unit 21B which is typically known as a low...

    NM 2011 DIY Public Land Bull

    Here's my 2011 DIY Public Land bull. I shot him in New Mexico in 16B in the Gila Wilderness. He's a 5x6 and exceeded my expectaions for my first bull and especially since it was the fourth day of a five day hunt. He was the biggest bull we saw during the hunt. I sure love the Gila units in New...

    Thoughts on the New Savage Axis???

    Well to answer your question, I own the Savage Edge which is just the original name of the Savage Axis. The Savage Edge was just renamed the Savage Axis so it is the same gun were talking about. I love the price because you can get it with a scope for under $300. I have this gun in 30.06 and it...

    Is a 220 grain .30-06 bullet to much for bull elk?

    I'm going rifle elk hunting with my .30-06 and I'm planning to use 220 grain Remington Core-Lokt bullets. Is this to heavy of a bullet for bull elk? I know the 180 grain bullets will do the trick and are better for longer shots but I think that 220 grains have better takedown power. Any advice...
