Need a lighter rifle
I killed my Mt Goat with a .280 Rem MR(2013 SS model). It shot sub MOA out to 500 yds easily, but took a lot of effort to keep the barrel whip in control. Be mindful of this when looking for a super light rifle, particularly in higher recoil guns. Of course laying prone on a 30 deg slope... -

2015 CO Drop Camp Planning Suggestions
Stew, Chili, Pot/Bacon Soup, Spaghetti, and lot's of hearty bread/rolls goes a long way toward fueling the fire you will need to hunt hard. Leftovers work for lunch, or even breakfast if you get hungry engough, particularly for those 20 something youngsters. We cooked all of ours on top of the... -

Mountain goat
Move to Idaho for Resident Draw odd's or go guided up North. Saw the debate on another thread, answer wasn't even really a debate.- bkondeff

If we end up in a car together.......I'm driving! Makes you feel alive being in the woods with things that can kil and eat you, especially when it's dark and you aren't armed....isn't it Matt?- bkondeff

Gutless Method video
I think the dowloadable app would be helpful for the inexperienced. Not sure the quantity of the dowloads. Certainly if you are in areas out west you would want to use this, you would be unlikely to watch it on youtube with a signal. I would love to see the full elk version to see if I can...- bkondeff

2015 Yellowstone winter count
Maybe some wolves will starve to death with no snow to slow the elk down. -

Tent stove ?
I have that same Cabelas stove listed above, which can also be found online under the Campchef brand I believe. It works great in my 12x12 Alaknak tent, which probably doesn't hold the heat as well as the heavier canvas tents most of you guys are using. Now, this stove will eaasily heat a...- bkondeff

Which 300 for all NA big game?
Which .30? Depends: Brown bear? Long or Short Action preference? Most importantly, how far do you intend to try and kill things, particularly elk? I would generalize that a .308 is limited on elk to 250-300yds, a 06' to 350-400, and any bigger "Magnum" can reach fartherr than most should or... -

7MMWSM A dieing Cal?
Yes it is, for factory ammo and SAAMI chambering. Now, I much preferr .284 bullets to .277 and even .308, simply because they fly better. Since the 300wsm and 270wsm aren't going anywhere anytime soon, I would look at the 7-300wsm in a custom chambering and reload. This is a great round, if... -

Ballistics App for Android?
SHOOTER. Used very successfully with my old android phone, and now with my i-phone. Use in connection with my Leica 1600 that gives range and barometric pressure, as well as angle. Neat thing about this app though is that you can use your phone as an inclinometer to both figure the angle in... -

Wyoming, we dont want you DIY hunters.....
I agree. Nothing is perrfect, but I find the balance between "free speech" and "civility" is well practiced here. It would be nice if some individuals read and maybe reread their posts before submitting a little more often, but most people with a real opinion will tend to get personal at... -

Landowner Tag Feedback
Have a friend from Texas who wants to do more Elk hunting. Do to his age and shape, and the fact he has an even older friend who wants to join him, I recommended looking into LO tag options in Colo and NM. I have zero experience and was hoping maybe someone who has could help. Friends would... -

Wyo NR with 6 points
Thanks guys. I have a folder with all the draw odd's for Reg and Special, Maps, 2013/2014 MRS, and a week of internet scouting. May have to put a list on little pieces of paper and put them in a hat. No single unit seems to be the answer yet. I'll see if I can find a 2014/2015 MRS and see... -

Wyo NR with 6 points
Trust me, I am not letting off the gas here in I'd, I am just trying to double down on my opportunities. So your opinion is that 6 pts in Wy is not enough to get a hunt with any quality Bulls? -

Red Legs Run
He is good looking. Not related, but looks like they could be. Is he a Wirehair or a DD? We are thinking of getting our next pup soon and my wife loves the coat and color.- bkondeff

core - lokt for elk
Core-lokt's work but the design behind bonded bullets(Nosler Accubond and Hornady Interbond) or premium bullets like Nosler Partitions are better. Get a larger sample of feedback, which you can find on a lot of other sites including Cabelas, you will find this to be true. I would take more... -

Wyo NR with 6 points
Anyone willing to share opinions on where to use points on a rifle bull hunt in 2015? I have 11 seasons in Idaho, but have yet to take a 6pt worthy of a mount, which is what I would like to shoot for. 300" or unique is mount worthy at this point. I am not young but can hike, I have access... -

Patterning post rut mature bull
So I am very determined to shoot a larger than average bull this year and found what I hope is a good candidate today. Our rut appears to be well over as I saw 1/2 dozen bulls today all off on their own a pair. They all were in heavy cover and went to bed early, no cows to be found. The...
