    2023/2024 update !!! Norris Road Elk Hunt

    I don't doubt it. I have hunted near the Cameron state section firing line spot. I am amazed more people are not shot during general rifle season when big herds get close to the road

    Fat percent for bratwurst?

    Spent the weekend making up a couple of batches of elk sausages and brats. Targeted 80/20 for breakfast sausage and 70/30 (elk/pork fat+pork shoulder) for bratwurst. Was a great success

    Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!

    It seems like the more I hunt during rifle season, the more poor hunter behavior I see. I don't like seeing stuff like this but it should be addressed. Integrity goes a long way, which in this case, you can't regulate with game laws, even though baseline quality ethics should result in many of...

    2023/2024 update !!! Norris Road Elk Hunt

    Oddly enough, I was driving back from Ennis that day and drove by that state section as those guys were processing their elk. I had always wondered if someone was patient enough to wait for elk here. I guess so

    Court Rules on Montana Wolf Hunting

    Most of you probably dislike the show "Yellowstone", however, the most recent episode integrated the Montana wolf debacle into the plot line (ranch hands shoot collared park wolves). Impeccable timing

    The Ely Chain.

    The conifer encroachment problem is even becoming an issue for Central Plains states like Nebraska. The rangeland scientists in the Agro & Hort dept at UNL are working to find solutions to cedar movement into perennial grasslands in central and western NE. I feel like the general public would...

    Second WY elk for the year...

    I have my grandfather's .284 Win that he passed down to me about 10 years ago. Its a one-off custom gun he created. Its a shooter. He just passed away this spring. I took my biggest mule deer with it in Nebraska. I need to get an elk with it now. Super cool to use a rifle like that Buzz

    Montana shoulder seasons

    I would not invest in a big trip to just hunt the shoulder season in Jan or Feb. Seems to be very weather dependent and seems that you really need to know the "spot on the spot" as to which couple of ranches the elk have called home for the winter. The real wildcard is if anyone of those...

    Optimum magnification range on scope for elk rifle?

    Both of my parents have a Weatherby rifle in 300 Win Mag and both rifles need a scope. In your expert opinion, what is the "sweet spot" magnification range that you prefer for your dedicated elk rifles? Would like to hear your specific scope setups too if you have found a solid setup for larger...

    Transporting meat for friends and family back East?

    At some point in the next couple of months, I would like to get some wrapped elk meat to friends and family that live in TN. I will be flying back there over the holidays so could always fly with some. Any tips and tricks for flying with meat and keeping it frozen for ~ 12 - 15 hours? If not...

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    I am always amazed that some elk decide to live in sagebrush country like that. Awesome double!

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    After my parents and I came soooo close during archery season (a herd bull and a cow narrowly escaped death during archery) and thoroughly paying our penance to the elk spirits, we evened the playing field with the rifle. I was able to get some ranch access for cow elk this weekend. Mom got her...
