I’m going to do some tinkering when I get through this season, that’s for sure! As far as a new gun, I just might do that! I have a .300 WSM and can’t stand it, currently. Still working on finding the right bullet to get it to group the way I want. Just haven’t got there yet. It’s going to take...

I wish I would’ve taken the time to look at the inside of the elk last year to see the damage. If I’m lucky enough to get the opportunity this year I will definitely take a look. I went and shot my gun again yesterday with the 140gr. SSTs and there’s no way I’m going to make a change at this...

The superperformance SST are flying faster and hitting harder at all distances while shooting flatter. Thanks for talking some sense into this eager mind of mine.

I have the same mentality. My elk last year was hit all 4 times from 350 yards, it wasn’t going anywhere. I will probably stick with the SST for now as I have boxes of them on hand they’re proven for me.

Thanks Jim, I’m having this thought as well. The elk did die, I just worry that if I get out to 400-500 yards is the SST still going to perform?

Sorry about the spelling error in the thread subject. Autocorrect got me.

Switching from 140gr SST and looking at the precision hunter 145 eld-x out of my .270 for my upcoming elk trip. Looking for some feedback. My gun like hornady ammo and I was super accurate with the SST but didn’t get pass through on my elk last year.

Hey all, i apologize if there is a similar post buried in the forum and this is redundant. I wasnt really looking but am always open to deals and I came across a new ruger 6.5 creedmoor for a price that was borderline robbery. What is everyone's experience and or thoughts on the caliber for...

Got my elk back! Along with a very special picture of my dad and I. As an only child, my dad is my best friend. Being able to share these moments of my first elk this year and his first bull last year mean the world to me! Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all had a blessed holiday season!

My old man surprised my wife and I with our critters! Really happy with how they turned out! In addition, I got a few pair of hunting socks and some new boot dryers. Kids made a haul! Great time of year. Merry Christmas to all! Also, any ideas on why pictures I upload are always turned sideways?

Was lucky enough to harvest my first elk this year, which moves Antelope to the top of the hit list. Looking for a little insight on what states/tags are easiest or more available for non residents. Any help is much appreciated. YB2

I just got back from an elk hunt with my father and 2 close friends. We were able to harvest 2 nice bulls, in my opinion. My dad being the type of guy that appreciates and understands what goes into harvesting the animal wants us to shoulder mount them both. He shot a nice 5x6 bull last year...

Picked up these 2 on Saturday night. Hunt of a lifetime!

Since 1st season has wrapped up and we're half way through second season I thought Id start a thread to hear some stories and see some pics! How is/did it go for everyone? Those of us impatiently waiting for 3/4 season appreciate the updates!

Curious what everyones thoughts/beliefs are on late season calling. Im 3 weeks away from my elk hunt in Colorado for the 4th season elk hunt. Never put much thought into calling the past. Have seen always found elk by sight (luck), and was lucky enough last year to stumble upon a couple within...

What other members on here are impatiently waiting for 4th Rifle? We are 3 weeks away from departing MN. I hope the weather holds and we are able to hunt our usual spots! The past few years 4th season has been warm and we have be able to find elk, pre migration. Wondering if winter actually...

Hey everyone, ive been a follower of the forum for many years but just made my first posts recently, only to learn I didnt follow protocol of introductions! Anyway, my name in Jordan from Central MN. I started reading the forum about 5 years ago in preparation for my first elk hunt. This year...

Question for the gun nuts on here. A couple years ago I picked up a NEW savage model 16 .300 WSM on an auction with the intention of it being my elk gun. However i am struggling to get consistent grouping with it. I've been shooting Winchester Super X 180gr. bullets through it. Im going to...

Hey everyone, new to the forum so I'll hide behind my ignorance for this first post, assuming someone has already posted something along the lines. In 3.5 short weeks we will be headed to Colorado for our "4 annual, once in a lifetime trip" for the 4th elk season. This year we decided to try...

I am heading out to Colorado for the 4th rifle season. We are heading out a few days early to do as much scouting as possible but thought I would see if anyone on here is willing to give some advice and feedback. I was lucky enough to get a bull tag good for zones 12, 13, 23 and 24 but my buddy...
