    Swarovski Z5

    I have the Swaro Z5 3.5-18 BRH on my .340 Weatherby. It's solid and needs no adjustments after sighting in at home then confirming zero when I get up to elk country. This last season, I was side hilling trying to catch up to my guide who had the tripod set up on a bull across the canyon. Paying...

    Death by Bear falling on him ?

    Poor fella. I sure hope his life insurance policy does not have an exclusion for a "bear falling on client". That would suck big time.

    Inedible

    Just wondering if you let it hang before processing to allow it to age a little. I had an elk that turned out really tough one year. The only difference was it was a late morning bull killed on the last day. We let it cool after quartering, then put it in ice chests that evening with ice and...

    Upland hunting hearing protection

    I have been using the Otto Noizebarrier Micro. They come in their own case about the size of a pack of cigarettes and are rechargeable. The case acts as the charger. They have two audio levels, normal and enhanced. They are all day comfortable and at the end of the day, just drop them in the...

    Leupold 2.5-8x36 still worth it?

    I have one on my Ruger 77 that I bought around 1977. It still retains zero, and I have never had to make any major sight adjustments over the years other than when changing the ammo and confirming zero for the new ammo. The scope is rock solid.

    Am I just over reacting? Or will I get sick? Elk meat question

    No, South Louisiana. The Rouses I am speaking of is actually in Thibodeaux. We frequent it often. Their meat department is really nice with quality meat that you can have cut to order. Although the premium stuff in the plexiglass case is for us to look at only, I could never afford to buy...

    Am I just over reacting? Or will I get sick? Elk meat question

    Just try to remove any "fat" or white tissue from the meat before you cook it. That is where any gaminess will be, and will make the meat seem tougher. I usually lay the meat on a cutting board with the silverskin down, and use a long flexible blade fillet knife to run it between the silverskin...

    Am I just over reacting? Or will I get sick? Elk meat question

    Should be great eating!! There is a local supermarket (Rouses), that has a meat cooler in the meat department. It is a plexiglass type structure about half the size of a phone booth. In it, they store the best top grade meat (mostly ribeye) that is aged for weeks. The temp and humidity is...

    muzzleloader brake

    Take the brake off and shoot the same powder charge, bullet, etc. Might be the load. If you were getting good groups before you increased the powder charge, try the same charge with the brake. Usually when I hear of terrible groups with a brake, it is usually because the bullet has a hollow...

    Nevada Muzzleloader bull elk hunt area 111-115

    Unit 111-115 is no help, nor is Mount Moriah. Maybe give us a hint what state?

    Sighting in a 7mm-08 for the first time

    He said he had Hornady Custom Lite ammo, not Superformance unless I misread something. The two would be worlds apart ballistically.

    A view from the above

    Plenty of potential. Looks like a perfect spot for a food plot. Need a spot to place a stand on the right upper corner in case the wind is blowing the wrong way.

    Holy copper fouling!

    That is a mild load. I found the best copper solvent for me was the Bore Tech Eliminator. Looking at the picture in post #8, it might be a little bit easier to keep it clean now that you got a good bit of it out.

    Holy copper fouling!

    What cartridge are you shooting? You have 260 fps, which number is missing? If it's 3260 that's pretty fast 2260 is really slow, so I imagine it's somewhere in the 20's and you left out the second number?

    Dealing with cows

    I can't offer any advice, but I noticed the one in the middle has poop all over his backside. The smell might be helping to cover your scent. Maybe the elk will come visit. Good Luck !!
