Unit 16C Logistics for 2023 elk hunt
My 10yo son drew his first choice elk tag for unit 16c youth modern gun. We plan on going on a scout trip over the next couple of weekends. I've been e-scouting to identify areas that aren't as steep and/or we can hunt uphill since there are just the two of us. I'm mainly hoping some of you...- Rzrbk

Where do you draw the line on buying local?
I'm not sure where I draw the line but I definitely go out of my way to support local shops that provide important services along with the quality customer service that's become extremely rare at box stores. I've lived a couple of places without a local bow shop (mainly Sacramento area) where I...- Rzrbk

Which to choose?
Yes, it's the Belgian. So, I ended up choosing the Browning A-5. I'll attach photos. It has an extra barrel and choke tubes for both. The Mauser was a military "98" version where it was fitted with a custom stock and then added a non-original scope rail so it would take a scope. The fact it...- Rzrbk

Which to choose?
Thanks for the search thread. I'm now confident the 7X57 is enough gun for whatever. The reliability seems legendary.- Rzrbk

Just got Starlink.
I bought a Cel-Fi GO X by Cel-Fi, cellular booster (link below) for about 1.2k and it works great and with no monthly charge. You need at least one partial bar of service for it to boost the signal. We went from 0-1 bar service to maxed out streaming video service. Our cabin is in a narrow...- Rzrbk

Which to choose?
This is good. I was hoping to hear from folks familiar with the Mauser 98 and it's place/reputation in the gun world. I'd never really heard of a 7X57 but it looks to be a respectable cartridge and still in production. I currently shoot a .280 or 6.5 Creedmoor and sometimes a 303 British if I...- Rzrbk

Which to choose?
I grew up in a shotgunning crowd and so yes, the Browning A-5 was something everyone dreamed of owning yet only one person we knew actually owned one. No one could afford it when you could get a decent shotgun at a better price. I grew up in a no-frills community where quail hunting was king...- Rzrbk

Which to choose?
A friend who also makes custom gun stocks offered me a choice of a 12 ga. browning A-5, or a Mauser 98 in 7X57. I only know that both guns will have beautiful custom stocks and will be in working order. The Mauser has a scope, but I don't know what kind. I haven't seen photos of either gun...- Rzrbk

Yet Another Colorado New Guy
Welcome from NM. I've seen quite a bit of interest in cheese from HT posts. Don't enter the arena unless you know your cheese cause you'll be shamed. -

Back in Action: Hello from the Hunt Talk Office
Welcome back and I hope your knee issues continue to improve! Maybe don't try to pack the whole elk out at once.
