2023 knocked down a Brute in Idaho Wilderness with a Browning X-Bolt 7MM Rem Mag shooting the Federal Terminal Ascent 155 Grain Bullet...Got a tag again this year...hope to ditto!
Hey, thanks for reaching out. We e scouted quite a bit before we went in. Then we took a trip and went to each of our scout areas. we had 7 areas to check out. We looked at 6 E-scout areas before we saw any elk sign...then we were in it. And it was awesome, so my advice is to e scout, pick...
Thanks Westelker, Sorry for the delayed response...USFL/XFL Merger has been taking quite a bit of our time. Anyway, I checked with him and he will likely put together a profile soon and jump on. That way y'all can interact directly with him. We have quite a bit of equipment...spent much more...
wyoelkfan15, thanks for the input. Knew it was possible to get some sarcastic responses but it's all good. I truly believe the original post was put out with the best intentions and it looks like it hit a nerve with some...and that is okay. We would never intentionally try and do someone...
Thanks Kwyeewyk, I appreciate the guidance on the ask for a resident companion. That is very helpful. I agree it is WAY back in there. Quite possible it isn't feasible but that was part of the reason for the post...was to get this kind of helpful feedback. Yes, he has been many miles in on...
Thanks for the input Westelker. Your take is definitely not what we were trying to request. This year we grabbed a late leftover tag in September, got a little bit of direction from the friendly folk at HT (no honey holes...would never do that...) went on to OnX, GoHunt and Google Earth and...
Thank you Straight Arrow for this. I was a little worried when I posted that a thought like this might be relayed...but don't necessarily disagree. He is definitely familiar with Large Wilderness type areas but has never been to the Wyoming Washakie Wilderness. We will continue to do our...
He has been looking at Idaho as well. He just got studying Wyoming and the Unit 60 and got very interested. I absolutely appreciate your honesty on this. I will share this with him.
Thanks for responding, we definitely are only trying to do the right thing. I left out money on this topic because I don't know what the rules/expectations are. We are not trying to do wrong by anybody...in fact the exact opposite. I came here to get an idea of what is right and expected so...
So, some of you followed my story in Idaho this past season where my son did all of the heavy lifting and I was able to bag a great 6x6 Idaho DIY Public Land Wilderness Bull. Unfortunately he didn't have a tag and I got to shoot it. However, he called it in with cow calls and bugles and we...
A little late to the party on this one and you probably already bought a rifle but I did pretty extensive shopping/research when purchasing a new 7MM Rem Mag this year. First, Weatherby is hard to beat. Here are my thoughts on a few choices:
Tikka: One of the most accurate out of the box...
Grew up shooting Remington Core-Lokt in my Savage Model 99 E Lever Action .243. Fantastic. However, bought a new Browning X-Bolt Speed 7MM Rem Mag this year and it seems to like the Federal Terminal Ascent 155 Grain Bonded the most. Sub MOA and Coefficient is hard to beat so shoots as flat as...
