    Wyoming elk newbie without motivation question

    This right here is great advice. I have always offered to be a helper packing out animals. I do enjoy the pain involved in getting them out at times, but it also gives you an exact reference as to where the elk are. Plus you will almost always get free meat out of the deal.

    New to elk hunting.

    3rd season has more of a chance for some really bad weather. Which isn't a bad thing it's just something to consider. I am in the middle of hunting 2nd season right now and there is very little snow. I have seen a lot of cows so far. If I'm not archery hunting than I just buy an OTC bull tag...

    Ruger American in 308

    I definitely get what you're saying. I guess it's because I really don't need a new stock I just need a rifle that works. I did this last year before elk season and never heard back. I most likely messed something up, so I just tried again. Thank you.

    Ruger American in 308

    I bought a Ruger American a few years back and I have always had issues with the magazines. I have shot hunting rifles since I was a kid, but they have always had the hinge plate. This was the first rifle I owned with a magazine. I really didn't do any research on the issues with the...

    Elk vs. Wolves

    Shooting them out of existence is exactly why they are not in Colorado. They were literally shot out of existence.

    Red brass

    I found some brass at the range the other day and I'm not sure what it is. The brass has a reddish color. The headstamp is hard to read but looks like 188. Looks like it might be 7.62x54r? It just looked cool so I picked it up.

    Friend bailed on our upcoming New Mexico mule deer trip

    Yea I seem to hear things then my imagination goes wild. The reason I know mine is an irrational fear, is I can go camping with just me and my eleven year old and we sleep great. He offers no protection from the things that go bump in the night.

    Friend bailed on our upcoming New Mexico mule deer trip

    Yep same here. I'm working on it though. My imagination gets going pretty good at times.

    Mask up on federal lands

    I guess I'm just curious how the next 100 days of mask wearing will differ from the last 100 days of mask wearing. I'm sure I must be missing something

    .17 caliber rifle

    I just wanna say thanks guys for all of the responses. I have really always liked the idea of the 17 caliber. I think what would be best is for me to get a 17 hornet for my kid and maybe the 204 for myself after all of this craziness is finished. Kinda seems like the best of both worlds...

    .17 caliber rifle

    Yea I have seen the 204 quite a bit while researching. Seems like a great rifle and more versatile maybe.

    OK, you won the lottery, first rifle?

    I have always wanted to shoot the Mark 19 again so I would figure out how to own one. Not really a rifle though.

    .17 caliber rifle

    Oh man that thing looks awesome. Thanks for the response. With a little research and you helping to narrow it down, that looks to be a great round. Thanks

    .17 caliber rifle

    My son absolutely loves shooting my 22LR. I really want to buy him a .17 caliber rifle just for target practice and maybe some small varmints. He is 11 and I'm wondering what is the best 17 caliber centerfire round. I also want to get him into reloading, so we can learn together. I'm really...

    Solo hunting advice

    I solo hunt the majority of the time. It seems I just like the "me time". I'm not very good at all, but I love being in the woods. I do sometimes have problems sleeping at night (I hear things :). I carry Benadryl for any type of allergic reaction to insect bites as well as to help me sleep at...
