I have a couple buddies that have been really impressed with the 200 grain ELDX. They are shooting out to 1000 yards and like these better than any other loads they have worked on. They have only taken a couple of elk with them but the results were good.

As CC says, species specific. Also, keep in mind- Just because you can draw now with 2 points doesn't mean that number will hold static. Point creep is real... You would likely be best served buying a point to stay ahead of the crowd.

Buzz, can't argue with the results. Basing my opinion of the manufacturer recommendations, ballistics tests, and one cow elk that had poor penetration on a direct shoulder hit at fairly close range. The elk was recovered after a follow up shot. First shot would have done the job but may have...

Tray, I agree with you for the most part. I guided for years and have hunted elk personally for 30 years. I have seen a lot of elk killed with different caliber and bullet combinations and bullet placement/confidence are one of, if not the, most important factors. A ballistic tip will...

Hi Tray, welcome to the forum. Hate to send a negative response to your first message but hope to save you a wounded elk. Here is a quote directly from Nosler- "ballistic tips are not for elk. They are designed for smaller game. The ballistic tips expand faster and don't penetrate deep enough...

I have a friend with one. He makes some pretty incredible table tops/bar tops with it. He does it as a side business and only to order. It's convenient to do this as he owns a tree trimming/removal business for his day job so he is never short of material.

Hmmm. Think I would pass on that one.

My wife owns a salon in small town Nebraska. She is allowed to open next week. Weird timing as our cases are really climbing right now- more than doubled in the last week as a state. I believe our governor is of the opinion that the effects of this are not as bad as previously thought so may...

If they cancel they will offer a refund.

I have taken some great animals in my life and have animals that score well into the books in several species. One animal that has eluded me is a really wide mule deer. 30+" inside spread is pretty dang rare these days but I'm still looking. That said, my challenge is to pass on what I know...

I have taken a pile of elk with my 30-06 and 165 grain Hornady Interbonds. My shots have ranged from 50 yards to 477 yards and haven't had any issues through the years. I am shopping for a 300 currently as I really like a friends gun and I want to hand my 30-06 down to my son in the next...

Cool picture! Nesting maybe?

Funniest thing I have ever seen in the field involved my dog. I was pheasant hunting cattails around a frozen pond. My lab flushed a rooster out over the pond. I hit it but only broke a wing. The pheasant dropped on the ice and a hilarious dog pheasant chase ensued. The pond was fairly...

Took me a few minutes as well. The issue for me was perspective.

That's a lot of floating meat tim! Great pics!

I like these picture as well. They are fun to show guys who ask what they can expect for weather on an antelope hunt in Wyoming... everything from "dang it's hot" to "geeze, I didn't pack enough clothing weather".

I thought for sure Ikeepitcold was a reference to beer...

I have heard a lot of people talking about this beer but haven't tried it yet. I haven't found anyone selling it in my area.

Everyday drinking Coors Light or Keystone Light Something different RJ Rockers Bellringer (the name says it all- don't drink too many) Sam Adams - Boston Lager Any darker craft beer when at a micro brewery.

The real problem is many government actions seem to be politically driven. The virus is very real and worse than the flu for some... some precautions make absolute sense. The governments should recommend, and in rare emergency situations, enforce those precautions while minimizing loss of...
