    New to elk hunting.

    I am still new to elk hunting myself. I just finished my 2nd season. I was discouraged during my first season. I didn't even see an elk. It was a lot of work and I got to see some beautiful country. The thing that got me was that there is just soo much area to cover. The areas we hunter were...

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    I have a Shrewd radial brake on my custom 7mm Rem Mag. It definitely takes the bite out of the recoil. It kicks like a .308 or less. I didn't notice the sound in all of the excitement, but I know that it's loud! blacksheep

    2nd hunt, 1st bull!

    This was my second elk hunt ever and my first time with a 1st season bull tag in my pocket. We were hunting the Dunkley Flat tops are of northwestern Colorado. We scouted on Friday the 15th with 8-10' of new snow. The hike from camp to the top of the flat tops was a brutal 1/14 mile zig zag...

    Looking for new gun

    7mm Rem mag in a Remington 700 AWR would be a good place to start. The 7mm will give you the horsepower to take down almost anything without the recoil of the larger calibers.

    Best aftermarket recoil pad?

    I just replaced the factory pad on my encore with a precision-fit recoil pad from Limbsaver. It takes the bite out of some of the bigger calibers.

    Bipod or Tripod for rifle elk?

    Either use you backpack or flip the straps of your trekking poles over one another and you have instant shooting sticks. Using the backpack is going to be the more stable of the two. Either way, practice shooting in those situations before you hunt.

    Are 1000G thinsulate boots too much for this hunt?

    I personally will not go over 400g. I have found that 400g is the tops for me for comfort. Any more that that you are going to be changing socks 2-3 times a day. Unless its 0' or below, there really isn't need for them. I have a pair of Under Armour Browtines and they work well. ON SALE AT UNDER...

    Hunting Alone

    I hunt alone all of the time. Mostly for whitetails. I find time to reflect on things that are on my mind and I just love being in the woods alone. I love the minutes just before first light when the whole world is waking up.

    TC Encore Barrels

    I have hunted with and encore or a pro hunter for the past 20 years or so. I love it! simple elegant design and great accuracy. I have several barrels for it. I like the way that they point and having just one shot has made me a better more patient hunter. I am going to use my 7mm rem mag for...
