    One case for all your rifles

    It's funny I never really think about it in terms of cartridge families. In my own mind everything is pretty neatly sorted by caliber and what a particular rifle might do with it. Anyway I have a 30-06, a .270, and a 280AI. For the .308 family I have a .308, a 7mm-08, and a .243. The past...

    They look interesting.

    Really, Wyoming?

    I'm not that familiar with WY's laws, but I understood wolves were considered a varmint, not technically a game animal there. I could see you getting in a lot of trouble over this in Montana.

    Really, Wyoming?

    This was certainly a classless, ignorant, and unethical thing to do, but was it actually illegal? I couldn't get the whole article to open. Somebody mentioned he was charged with something. Know what that was?

    Any of you guys load for and hunt with a 338-06? What has been your experience with this cartridge?

    Leupold scopes love or hate em?

    I don't guess I get around the interwebs all that much, but I'm sure I've never heard people trashing Leupold. I'd say most who've tried them like - love them. This is really a thing on other sites?

    Leupold scopes love or hate em?

    I'm not real "into" scopes. Most of my life if my bullet hit where I held the cross hairs, I was OK with it. I don't generally shoot farther than about 350yds. All that said, the old Leupold VX-1 and the newer VX Freedom (both simple, 3x9 duplex reticles) I've used on light weight...

    Would this work for you?

    I think most people have killed elk with cup-and-core bullets, but the point I was simply trying to make in my post is that match bullets are designed for punching holes in paper, not 500lb ice age beasts. That's all.

    Would this work for you?

    I've shot a handful of elk with my .308, all 165gn bullets. A couple were with Hornady Interbond, a couple with Nosler Accubonds, one was with a standard Hornady BTSP Interlock. All loads were going about 2700fps or a little higher, and all animals were between 250 and 300yds. Anyway, do what...

    Bear hunt in Selway/B root area

    Anyway, back to the OP, don't overthink it. Do plenty of e-scouting for glassing spots where you can see south to east facing slopes with an adjacent water source. Find those and you'll find bears. Bear hunting can be pretty hit or miss and might require a lot of patience. Might not see...

    Bear hunt in Selway/B root area

    Odd thing I've noticed, but I don't think I've heard it said before. But in terms of following the snow line up the mountain as the grass greens up below it, I also pay attention to where the mosquitoes are. I hate mosquitoes with a passion, but I've noticed I see most bears at the elevation...

    How important is it?

    I rarely shoot an animal farther than 300yds, but all else being equal, just use the bullet that bucks a crosswind better. It's about that simple in my mind.
