we used to try to do that, the best I ever did was take the white off the tip of the match.

I had to drive to the valley this morning. I drove up the road a few miles where I used to find elk and I’ll be damn, I saw a cow and a calf.

No, 7 is where I’m at.

Welcome, not many Blacktail hunters here. I used live to hunt them. The burns last summer should really help where I used to hunt. It had grown over so bad it wasn’t good anymore.

I’m thinking real hard about trying to cash in in Wyoming antelope.

I would have to agree with you.

I stopped trying to beat the wind. I have more encounters now than I did when I tried to keep the wind in my favor. Where I hunt it’s nearly impossible after 9:00 am to keep the wind right, constantly swirling Another thing I’ve learned is mid day seems to be when I have had several of my close...

My tactics change with time of season and weather. I use most every trick in the book. My least successful tactic is glassing, the most successful is still hunting timber.

I would be looking for elk tracks in the snow. I used to hunt for cow elk back when it was a secondary archery hunt if you didn’t kill a bull in September. I hunted Marion forks area and usually found elk pretty close to the Hwy.(none of that burned last summer) I haven’t hunted there since...

Cow tag is for cow only, you cannot shoot a bull of any size.

I’m not a 10% er on elk, that being said the killing part with a bow is where I fail. I hunt an area here in Oregon that has about a 6% success rate. I can typically find a bull within one day, getting an arrow into one is an entirely different story. The best thing I ever did is took a class on...

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all a great day with family and friends.

That should be just fine, My 25-06 loved the 100gr Remington Core-lokt. I spent years trying to out do them with handloads and never did. the closest I ever came was 100 gr nosler BT They didn’t perform all the at well when it came time to kill. They worked but I had to shoot the deer two...

I hunted for decades before I ever heard of “MOA“ I’ve always been if I can get a 1.5” group at 100 yards I’m hunt ready kind of guy.

I let the rifle tell me what weight to use. You put it in the right spot, the animals die. I’ve killed animals with bullets most people would not consider a good “hunting” bullet. If they group well I use them without hesitation.

I love the 300WM! Recoil on my rifle is not good but I’m not a pussy either. I just put it tight to my shoulder and take it. I can shoot it as good as my 25-06 and I never feel recoil when I’m shooting and an animal. I’m 100% kill with it and have never had to track anything. I’ve used a wide...
