UTV thoughts
Whichever one you decide to get is a matter of preference as previously mentioned however, I have a 900 Rzr and hunt alone. I just installed a rear winch to help load game. Even with that I need a ramp of some sort to help in putting game in bed. I would opt for a tilt bed version of whatever...- ol_spark

Bipod vs shooting sticks
I use this as well as my grandkids. It works sitting or standing. They like it more so than sticks. It attaches to a regular camera or spotting scope tripod. Only problem I think you may have with one of these is getting one to fit your 12” range. Caldwell makes a cradle that is adjustable, it... -

2018 Elk Hunt - Colorado OTC deep thoughts
I’ve eaten a lot of tag soup over the years, some by choice and others times not but it’s not bad. The memories are just as good as when you tag out without all that heavy lifting and grunt work. Enjoy it for what it is, an experience with nature. Good luck in the future. Oh I forgot to mention... -

Sst and gmx bullets suck.
I’ve used SSTs for quite awhile on various game animals. Although I’ve only killed 3 cow elk with the 154sst out of a 7mag, they all went about two jumps. Luck or good bullet? You can decide that.- ol_spark

Wyoming pronghorn. Opening day or wait a couple weeks?
I agree go for the opener. We just got back from the second week and the pickens were slim plus the goats were spooky. May not be the same everywhere but if I do it again it’ll be first week. -

Montana Recurve Bull
Great job. Your my kind of guy, one that appreciates the experience and not necessarily the kill. Good luck with all your future hunts. -

Rifle Issues
Even though it sucks to have a scope problem at least you figured it out in time to do something about it. Congratulations on solving the problem and good luck with your next choice, whatever it is. -

Dismal morning at the range......need help!
That’ll work, it just took awhile to get there but look at all the fun you had shooting and the experience you gained. Good luck hunting with it. -

Rifle Issues
Another thought, you mentioned 12 bullets were from previous lot. Did you keep these separate from the others or are the mixed among the other 38. Yes it would make a difference. -

Rifle Issues
All good suggestions so far. You could also do the box test to see if scope is tracking. From your 200yds zero just dial 16 clicks right shoot a group of 3 shots, then go down 16 clicks shoot another group of 3, then go left 16 clicks and shot 3 more, then dial back up 16 clicks to see if group... -

Single shot rifles
I had a Ruger #1 rebarrelled with a Lilja and chambered in 300 Tomahawk ( improved 300 RUM). I have taken elk with it from 35 to 700 yds and never felt that I needed something else while in the field. While heavier than a stock #1, it is still pleasant to carry and shoot. -

gun or scope
I agree. Putting scope on 7mm will validate scope. If it’s ok, shoot groups of three with different ammo from 270 with no adjustment or just enough to stay on paper. Use bags not sled as well. Show us what you get or what you expect to achieve. -

Cooler talk
Your 314 qt home made cooler is more than adequate. You will have no problems. Did you put a drain in bottom? Enjoy the hunt and no worries about meat getting home safely.
