Ruger M77R 30 06 I bought in "78". 165 gr Nosler Partition handloads. But I have only used it on elk when I don't score with a bow. (two years ago)

"It was an accident"

Got a breast brining for going on the Treager today.😋

Got number two today. We are allowed three tags but I'm going to stop at two.

Both taste like chicken. :D

730 this morning. Had two coming but he stuck is head up first.

But my garage has never been so clean!!!

How much does each hold? If not the same amount test is flawed. I don't use big thermoses since I retired but carry a 1 pint in my hunting and fishing day packs every time. I have found a huge difference in thermoses. The best one pint stainless thermos I have found and swear by is a "Thermos"...

What you are talking about sounds like a solution to the problem. What they are doing here is "studying" to find a solution. Maybe they will find a methodology that works and can incorporate hunters to accomplish their goal but they are just testing and conducting a study now.

Once again, It was never about the amount of animals. They were trying to change the elks habits to limit depredation not manage a herd size. Elk are smart and learn from their elders. Some of them old mama cows can be 15 or 20 years old and have seen a thing or two. I have seen them skirt the...

I was just being funny about the reporting not the article content, Obviously the reporter was just reporting on what was said and not a hunter probably. The fact remains that people see a pile of dead elk and they get upset and jump to conclusions. How many read the whole article? How many...

What did I miss?

I know the local USDA trapper/hunter that handles this area and he has a night vision scope for wolves. So yeah at night could be possible.

First off, I'm not sure I trust a news report on elk with mule deer video on top. Second, it said that this was a "study" to test the effectiveness of "sharpshooters" to control depredation. It took place in "five" units. Now maybe if the study shows that "sharpshooters" can influence...

+ 1 on adjusting to the altitude a day or 2 ahead of time. Work up slowly. I have heard aspirin can help the symptoms. Caffeine helps me if I start to feel headachy. Keep hydrated. I have climbed over 14,000 ft without getting sick and camped at 11,500. If you feel sick, go back down now!

Pretty sure she only wants to go left.

Unless you are going guided, I would shoot the first legal elk. You should just go and learn. Don't get your hopes up too high. I know peiple that have lived and hunted here all their lives and haven't killed a 300+ bull.

I think some people wouldn't be happy either way. I have no problem with some zones being control hunts with a random drawing. But not all zones and definitely no point systems. Does ID DFG make some weird calls? Yes. I know guys (me) that have been putting in for controlled hunts for years and...
