    Question for the 30 cal guys

    Your bullet choice/weight should change with the animals hunted. You don't want a light or quick expanding bullet for large game etc.

    Did I blow out the bear?

    If an animal dies where it cannot be seen from above, buzzards won't see it. They find dead animals by sight. How far was the shot with the 300 Win?

    The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

    I wish I had been using walking sticks when elk hunting in timber with lots of dead fall and lava rocks. I blame the lava rocks for meeting my head, an excuse for being goofy in the head since. So use those sticks Dave!

    Round In The Chamber

    Hold the trigger back when pushing the round into the chamber, and you have it loaded but not cocked.

    Everything you need to know about the IDAHO Hunting and Advanced Technology Working Group (HAT Working Group)

    I was not selected either. I doubt they wanted a land owner (in the middle of a prime hunting area) with over 68 years of hunting experience, interact with hunters on almost a daily basis (in seasons), observe game up close daily, attend almost all local F&G meetings, stay up to date on new...

    Pedersoli Hawken Peep Sight Mounting & Compatibility

    I wish I had a picture of the Lyman tang sight my dad put on one of the first T/C Renegades. He was a Smith and a perfectionist and machined the tang peep off of a Remington model 24 or 14 or ?, can't remember for sure but it was the most accurate of all T/C's I ever owned. If you can find an...

    What is the nastiest place where you have found elk

    Finding them is not hard when you hunt......Hells Canyon five miles down the Nee Me Poo trail or the thickest dead fall in Idaho's wilderness. But the hard part is the several trips getting the meat out on your back!
