    Mountain Shiras moose habitat

    I found a moose shed up near timber line in Colorado. Not sure what he was doing up there that time of year. Had a buddy leave a game cam out all year. When the snow melted back below it moose seemed to be the only critters up there for awhile. It was around 9800 ft in dark timber.

    Cold front coming

    Miserable day in Arkansas. Low 20's 25mph blowing sleet. Got a couple inches on the ground. Cattle don't like it much. Me either!

    cooking elk steak - help needed

    We dry brine overnight if possible. Cabela's competition prime rib rub. Sear then finish baking to 140°. Top with a cream cheese/bacon/onion. Top notch!

    How would you plan and give guidance

    From experience in trying to get a group on the same page with applications. As well said above unless everyone is strongly on board it's a pain to get everyone tags. You have your apply early all in guys then there's the guys calling the day after deadline asking. Now which unit were we...

    Newbies

    A few years ago some friends of a friend showed up unannounced with intimate knowledge in an area that our group had collectively scouted for several years and amassed some pretty productive elk holes. It was a very tense conversation later to explain that ownership of that knowledge wasn't his...

    Late Muzzleloader Whitetail

    Weather was much more tolerable this morning. The plan was to still hunt into a bedding area with not much to lose. About an hour after daylight I found a bachelor group of bucks feeding on the opposite hillside. I watched until they were bedded. I crawled up the backside of a ridge (make...

    Late Muzzleloader Whitetail

    We still hunted this morning. It was pretty cold 0 at daylight. Not much was happening until the sun came up. About 8 I caught a buck moving up the opposite hillside about 5-600 yd. He seemed to be heading into a hardwood draw so with a (this'll never work) I headed across trying to drop into...

    Late Muzzleloader Whitetail

    Myself and big brother caught a couple days off to head up to northern Missouri to hunt the late season. We have 4" snow and a sultry -3 temp tonight. A rare combination for us Arkies. Hopefully it'll put the deer on their feet. We just rolled in and have Monday and Tuesday to hunt...

    Must choose one

    I'd go for a LE tag for any species over OTC. Plus antelope hunting is addictive. Wyoming general elk is good but new ground is a challenge and would burn extra days to learn. Colorado OTC elk has awesome scenery with a lot of work to be successful. Don't know about black hills. Good luck!!

    Christensen Arms Mesa

    My brother has a Mesa. I had an older Christensen. I think a Classic. Both were a joy to handle and tack drivers.

    Curious about Hammers. 7mm Rem Mag 1:9

    Thanks for the input. I'm a pretty basic reloader. I've been doing it for 5 yrs or so. I have some Barnes 145 LRX on the way to try. I'm anxious to give this thing a test drive. I like the concept of the Hammers design. It looks like in the HH would be either 143 or 146 for my twist. Not sure...

    Curious about Hammers. 7mm Rem Mag 1:9

    I've been reading a lot about Hammers. I'm just finishing a build on a 7mm. Shilen 1:9 barrel 24" Just curious your experience loading them. Good or bad. Seems like there's an assortment of different choices on the Website. I'm pretty bad to pick an elk bullet and hunt everything with it once...
