Thanks Buzz. I’m just about too old to pull it off....but hey, it could happen! I looked at my odds for getting another shot at a sheep, maybe I’ll get to hunt with my great grandson’s.... son ! 🤣 memtb

I’m gonna draw a Mountain Goat License after trying for 35 years! 🙂 Hey.....might as well dream big! 😄 memtb

If it is someone’s first elk hunt or perhaps, their only elk hunt...go with the bullet that offers the highest degree of reliability when a “less than ideal” shot....may be the only shot! There are lots of bullet designs to choose from. Some offer the utmost in bullet weight retention, even...

A mixture of many folks. My father who wasn’t really a hunter contributed some, but it was mostly my uncles and grandfather on my mothers side. I was following as best I could, through the thick woods of Central -Louisiana starting at around age 5. I stopped many a limb with my face while...

I’m a big proponent of Barnes Bullets. The wife and I have used them exclusively since the early ‘90’s. My suggestion.....the 165 TTSX. You can push it pretty fast, generally very accurate, excellent BC’s, retains near 100 % of it’s original weight after impact, and is a great performer from the...

I didn’t do well with HS English and Grammar! So.....we’ve hunted as a married couple since February ‘91! 😁 memtb

I hunted solo most of the time until I met my future wife in 1988. Since then, it’s been she and I on all but a very few hunts! We don’t hunt nearly as hard as we used to......age has a way of reducing the distance you cover and the height of the ridges you climb! memtb

I was 35 in the late fall of 1986, my first year to hunt elk in my new homestate of Wyoming! It was a late season cow hunt, myself and 2 friends saw a group of elk entering the timber from a cut-over. The two of them went directly toward the elk. I was sitting in g center of the...

I’m happy for you folks that have a real, patriotic congressman......we have lizzy “show me the military lobbiest money”, treasonous, swamp dweller! memtb

We have taken a very hard turn to the left, they control both houses and the executive branch, the courts do not have spine, history is being removed and replaced......this is “not” just a new administration pounding their chests. We are at a crossroads on the future of our nation! memtb

That is only the beginning! memtb

I thought that some of you may find this interesting! memtb https://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/grizzly-was-oldest-documented-in-greater-yellowstone-area/article_2bdc24e7-760b-5f16-86ad-ac43181a7031.html

Take a few moments and study a ballistics chart, using your chosen bullet/velocity and consider a 300 yard zero. Your midrange, somewhere around 170 - 190 yards, will be a non-issue on big game.....unless you hold quite high on the animal. And, will give you a “hold on hair”range beyond 400...

They’re not going to miss any opportunity to fleece anyone wanting to hunt/fish for money. I guess that they’re not making enough from “taxing” boaters with the Zebra Mussel fee. I’m darn near scaird to throw sticks out for my dog to retrieve, for fear that I’ll have to place the Zebra Mussel...

With your shotgun experience.......recoil should be a non-issue with a .300 WM, without a brake! As mentioned, a .338 WM is also a good option.....my wife has used a “non-braked” , 9 pound (scoped, loaded, slung) .338 WM since 1995. You should be able to stay well below your $1200.00 limit on...

I can offer a the little personal (indirectly) experience that I’ve had! About 12 or so years ago I was sheep hunting sheep in the Sunlight Basin area of Wyoming. We had our camper set-up near a couple of other campers, parked near the confluence of Little Sunlight Creek and Sunlight Creek...

A very valid comment. Of course, there’s always a different way to address things? A Model T will get you there.....a new Lexus gets you there in style and comfort! Jus Say’n! ;) memtb

I can’t say anything positive or negative......we’ve been stuck on Barnes since the ‘90’s. But, there is some good factory stuff out there.....and the Federal Premium type ammo has always been good. Are you a hand loader .....if so you have almost infinite options! memtb

Congrats! Ya done good ....a good rifle choice, and one of the best factory offered elk cartridges! Bullets: it’d difficult to beat the Barnes TTSX or LRX provided the range isn’t far enough to drop them below their expansion velocities.....which is a pretty long shot with the 300 WM ! From...

I don’t know the point requirements, but South-West Wyoming has plenty of elk and for the most part has pretty tame terrain! Kemmerer, Cokeville areas immediately come to mind! memtb
