    Elk Hunting Tricks

    On a trip about 7 years ago in Wyoming we were hunting hard for three days. The weather was really warm and there was a lot of hunting pressure, at a loss for what to do next I told my brother let's just go where everybody else is not going. It didn't look like great elk country but about a...

    Bullet choices?

    Very good article, thanks for sharing. What he is saying makes total sense. I am a speed freak so all of my experience with copper bullets is at very high velocity, I have not witnessed any of the drawbacks that he talks about but certainly can see where he is coming from.

    6.5 To kill an elk?

    That's what I have been telling my wife for the past 24 years. She doesn't buy it any more, she's says it's not an investment if you never cash them in!

    6.5 To kill an elk?

    Exactly, practicality has nothing to do with it, I like guns. Some people collect art, I collect guns. Everyone has something they waste a portion of their expendable income on.

    Bullet choices?

    I believe you can get very similar performance from slightly lighter copper bullets vs heavier lead core bullets. Instead of using reduced recoil ammo for my kids when they were young I always used light for caliber barnes bullets to keep recoil down. In my experience the lighter copper...

    I agree 100% keep posting, my only problem with it is most of your posts are simply not funny. You need to step it up, I am going to vote for Trump but I know he gives you more material to work with than what you have shown so far.

    Bullet choices?

    I like the Barnes because of their performance on game. Deep penetration and very good blood trails.

    6.5 To kill an elk?

    A buddy of mine is a Creedmore fanatic so I looked at the ballistics, personally if I were looking for a gun in that category I would go with a 7mm-08 or 308. I like larger diameter bullets. I didn't see much difference between the CM and the 7mm-08 in the data that I was looking at.

    Bullet choices?

    When my younger son fist started hunting he was a little recoil shy. I got him a 7mm-08 and had him shooting barnes 120 grain TTSX in an effort to keep the recoil down. He killed many whitetail, a black bear and and antelope at 287 yards with that setup. Now my daughter is using the gun with...

    I was told that if you are hunting an area in Wyoming where your tag is good for either sex you do not need to leave evidence of sex attached. Does anyone know if this is true?

    Learning Curves of Bowhunting

    Shoot a draw weight that you can draw from any position comfortably such as sitting. I blew many opportunities as a teenager because I was pulling too much weight. At last light when it's very cold coupled with buck fever, I simply could not get my bow to full draw without extreme movement. I...

    What's Wrong With A Muzzle Break?

    For years I would just deal with the recoil, I never wanted a break because of the noise. Now that I am getting a little older I am definitely looking to put muzzle breaks on several of my rifles. I still don't mind my 300 wbys but the 340 and 30-378 are not very much fun for me these days...

    How often do you change cables and strings ?

    I have done that, I actually believe I broke my nose, blood everywhere! I was really cautious the next few times I shot that bow.
