Same with us in So. Wyoming. Few mornings they bulged for hours and then days they bugled once, gathered cows and went to bed. We found ourselves having to try to get between the bugle and the bedding area. Couple days we got in close but most days they were in early and could not get to...
Couple rookies in the woods, we were very concerned of walking quietly trying not to break branches, move slowly and not talk as we moved up 150 yards or so after each set-up. One thing I did not learn until now is you can not concentrate so intently on where you step without scanning in front...
Have a new gun and would appreciate anyone with experience with an X-Bolt .300 WM sharing their experience with different ammo. I have read several outdoor articles and would prefer hunter feedback. Randy swears by E-Tip 180gr I believe. Many people say 180-200gr Accubond. Very interested to...

I drew a NR Wyoming General Tag and plan to make a 5 day trip to scout some areas. Will hunt opener for a few days and than 10 days near end of September. Few of my questions: Better to go scouting mid-August or July? Should my primary focus be trying to locate cow/calf groups? Plan to...
"Won" a XB HC New Years drawing. Choose .300 Win Mag and still waiting for the gun. Telling me hard to get. Any other guns comparable? Looking for other brand if available.
Going on first archery elk hunt and wonder if I need to change my current quiver to something else. See a lot of Tightspot talk and wonder if I need to be concerned with my current Mathews set-up. Any advantage to changing?
