Any other MN bear hunters on here? This is my first year giving it a go after waiting 5 years to get a tag! Almost more exciting seeing the first bear on camera as it is the first big buck of the year. 4 days till opener!

My wife has shown interest in venturing out from our typical whitetail hunting here in MN, specifically showing interest in Bear hunting! So im kicking around the idea of putting together a spring bear hunt in Montana. My initial thought is somewhere outside of grizz country. I dont have any...

Curious how the 4th season went for some of you others? I just got back from my 4th season hunt and it was the worst season I've had in 8 years of hunting Colorado. I use that term loosely because its never bad. But we bumped 1 non-legal bull in 5 days of beating the bush. Put on 10-12 miles a...

In preparation for my late season elk hunt, I was doing some shooting with my .300 WSM which has a Nikon Buckmaster II 4x12 on it. In the past I had issues holding a group. I switch ammo, things got better, I got it dialed back in to where I was comfortable. Went and shot it another time, group...

Trying to put together a 2022 archery elk hunt. Montana is top of the list currently. Can anyone shed some light on the application/draw process and the points system. I have applied/purchased "bonus points" but from my research I think I should've applied for "preference points". So, are there...

Has anyone on here ever hired a guide for a day or 2 in Colorado, specifically Meeker area? Are there guides/outfitters that do it? Going on our annual trip to colorado this november and since our group is only my dad and I this year Im kicking around the idea of lining up a guide for him.

Anyone shed some information on possible OTC speed goat hunting? Looking for a long weekend hunting trip. TIA

Switching from 140gr SST and looking at the precision hunter 145 eld-x out of my .270 for my upcoming elk trip. Looking for some feedback. My gun like hornady ammo and I was super accurate with the SST but didn’t get pass through on my elk last year.

Hey all, i apologize if there is a similar post buried in the forum and this is redundant. I wasnt really looking but am always open to deals and I came across a new ruger 6.5 creedmoor for a price that was borderline robbery. What is everyone's experience and or thoughts on the caliber for...

Was lucky enough to harvest my first elk this year, which moves Antelope to the top of the hit list. Looking for a little insight on what states/tags are easiest or more available for non residents. Any help is much appreciated. YB2

I just got back from an elk hunt with my father and 2 close friends. We were able to harvest 2 nice bulls, in my opinion. My dad being the type of guy that appreciates and understands what goes into harvesting the animal wants us to shoulder mount them both. He shot a nice 5x6 bull last year...

Since 1st season has wrapped up and we're half way through second season I thought Id start a thread to hear some stories and see some pics! How is/did it go for everyone? Those of us impatiently waiting for 3/4 season appreciate the updates!

Curious what everyones thoughts/beliefs are on late season calling. Im 3 weeks away from my elk hunt in Colorado for the 4th season elk hunt. Never put much thought into calling the past. Have seen always found elk by sight (luck), and was lucky enough last year to stumble upon a couple within...

What other members on here are impatiently waiting for 4th Rifle? We are 3 weeks away from departing MN. I hope the weather holds and we are able to hunt our usual spots! The past few years 4th season has been warm and we have be able to find elk, pre migration. Wondering if winter actually...

Hey everyone, ive been a follower of the forum for many years but just made my first posts recently, only to learn I didnt follow protocol of introductions! Anyway, my name in Jordan from Central MN. I started reading the forum about 5 years ago in preparation for my first elk hunt. This year...

Question for the gun nuts on here. A couple years ago I picked up a NEW savage model 16 .300 WSM on an auction with the intention of it being my elk gun. However i am struggling to get consistent grouping with it. I've been shooting Winchester Super X 180gr. bullets through it. Im going to...

Hey everyone, new to the forum so I'll hide behind my ignorance for this first post, assuming someone has already posted something along the lines. In 3.5 short weeks we will be headed to Colorado for our "4 annual, once in a lifetime trip" for the 4th elk season. This year we decided to try...

I am heading out to Colorado for the 4th rifle season. We are heading out a few days early to do as much scouting as possible but thought I would see if anyone on here is willing to give some advice and feedback. I was lucky enough to get a bull tag good for zones 12, 13, 23 and 24 but my buddy...
