    I wish we had some to deal with nearby. I could use the extra practice, sausage and bacon. I have to go out of state to find them.

    Is Hand Loading My Answer?

    Buckdoego, Lots of great info has been posted for your benefit. I will just add a few thoughts. I think very few folks that get past first base with reloading turned back but probably not so much due to cost savings but to the other benefits. 1. Larger bullet selection 2. Building a round...

    Newbie Elk

    I saw your pics, very impressive. I had mentioned that I thought the Utah Any Bull hunt would start 1 Oct but instead it will start 8 Oct, the second Saturday in Oct. The picture below is the only pig I have shot. My friend who's lease I hunted on in SC is a Archer so a lot of his stands are...

    Newbie Elk

    The Frank Church is a pretty famous area to hunt. I hunted Idaho once. It was North of there. I heard a couple bugles, saw a few tracks, but never did see one Elk. Lots of fires that year though near by in Montana. Smoke was always in the air. It was the only place I ever hunted that I never...

    i can help with direction for sure, maybe more depending one what I end up doing this season but your will need to ultimately decide what works best for you. For this season if you plan to go without a guide your options are more limited due to several states having completed their draw already...

    Newbie Elk

    Red, Looks like I probably won't be hunting in Montana this year as we weren't successful in the drawl. My Montana partner has a optional Alaska Moose hunt he decided he will go on this fall. That leaves me to decide if I want to hunt elk this fall or not and where. I could put my name on a...

    Redmont, I'm 72 and I still hunt Elk. Here is what you do. First, don't give up. There is someone out there looking for a partner like you. Join the RMEF if you haven't already. They support Elk hunting in a very big and wonderful way. You may even meet someone through them that would help you...

    £¥€k what have I done

    You definitely should draw a general tag. With one point, I wish I could say the same. I'm at best a longshot for drawing this year but I should have a fairly good shot at it next year with 2 points. I'm considering Utah this year or maybe just hunt deer locally in NC. I would like to get into...

    Another "is this bullet good enough for that?" thread.....

    That's Great! If they group well then 200 definitely ought to do the trick! I didn't know they even made 160 gn partitions, even better.

    Another "is this bullet good enough for that?" thread.....

    It sounds like you really have that gun and bullet dialed in with those 140 interlocks. You might run that by him, exactly what you told us how well you have it dialed in with the 140's and the 150's just aren't shooting well in your gun? Only thing about the interlocks is I have heard of folks...

    £¥€k what have I done

    I know not what Montana used to be, I only know what I found here compared to the several other states I have hunted. I have found Elk 2 years ago my first time here so I'm going to come back if I draw in spite of the long ride, the high cost of a tag and lots of Skepticism by some. I don't...

    Montana Non-Resident Elk Combo Applicants who didn't draw Options

    I have heard there is a list Non-Residents can get on to try to get a tag if their Montana General Elk Combo application is not drawn? So how does that work and when does a person apply to be on that list?

    VA Elk Hunt Help!

    I didn't know that. I sure wish I was one of those residents. Not bad odds. I think I would have bought about 50 chances if I lived in one of those counties.

    VA Elk Hunt Help!

    As to Elk hunting opportunities, tomorrow as most know is the last day to put in for the Montana Elk draw. I put in for my tag yesterday. It is only my second time putting in for the Montana draw as the 1st member of our small group. I have 2 other local friends that should be putting their...

    VA Elk Hunt Help!

    I bought a chance but if you missed it, you likely saved yourself 43 bucks or whatever it was if you are a Non-Resident. I think it cost a Resident 20 but am not for sure. I'm sure many thousands of folks if not more paid for a chance. I'm just inside NC but I do hunt VA also sometimes since I...

    Hi, I tried to send you a message but the site won't allow me and I can only write 400 characters to you in a message via my profile. I believe because you have no posts so I can't write what I would like to write. Post a message or two and write me back and I'll tell you what I can about Unit...
