From So Dak and would be interested but need to wait until June resident elk draw to decide is Colorado is possible. Do you have unit in mind? Are you drawing muzzy without any points? I would have to draw on 0 pts.- Sdhunters

Preferred 300WM round
My Browning HC 300 WM ELD X 220gr. Shoots better than any round I have found. Gun does not like 180 gr Hornady. My elk was down with one round in less than a second. -

Advise for new rifle in 300 win mag or 300 PRC
I have X-Bolt HC and love it. Shot tight groups out to 500-600 yds. Muzzle break helps a lot in making it comfortable to shot. Light weight also. -

Help me pick a tent
We use Kodiak Canvas 10 x 10 about $500. Stands up to wind, rain and snow. We use guide cots so sleeps 2 comfortably with room for cooler/table top, hunting clothes and buddy jr heater. Could sleep 3 but depends on cot size. Holds plenty of heat to 10-20 degrees.- Sdhunters

Splitting elk meat
Friend packed half of my elk out....3 trips 6 miles each trip. We split the elk 50/50. Only fair way to handle it is to offer part of the elk and he did a lot of work so deserves it in my opinion. -

First elk...
Lucky this year to get out to Wyoming 4 times, the first 3 were archery hunts resulting in 2 close encounters. Last week went back with the rifle and filled my tag. Two years ago close call in Montana so 1 of 2 so far. Expect to eat a tag or two next few hunts. -

Is there anything that preys on pine squirrels? Can I train one to take with me on elk hunts?
Threw rocks, sticks ran at them. Failure. Only got louder and more badgering! Should have just left them alone and moved on but we were annoyed and thought we would drive them off. They win. Like the pellet gun idea though.
