Thanks everyone. We had a blast. Yea, bergers are to fragile for me. I know theres a lot of success with that bullet for some and a lot of bad results for some. I did not like the performance.
But anyway that's not what the thread is about, way to go son...and thanks for the help, grandpa...
My 13 year old son and I had a fantastic elk hunt over Thanksgiving. He shot his first elk (cow) on Friday around 3 p.m. in her bed at 200 yards with his 7-08, one shot. Seems to be a popular caliber lately. We took care of his cow and carried quarters on top of the ridge for tomorrows haul with...
I am a big fan of the 7-08. Seen a lot of one shot kills with that caliber including elk and took a nice black bear with a 7-08 this spring. Very underrated caliber...
Yes, strange fall for elk talk for sure. The bugs are real bad. Had a horse fly bite me on top of my right hand. Came home early and was in Billings Clinic this morning as my hand looked like a marshmallow. Hope to be shooting the bow by this weekend. Watch out for those dam horse flies....
I love VAP's but only use the stainless steel outserts. I don't see them on there website but I am sure you can still get them. I have had no issues with the ss outserts. They do weigh 92 grains alone and pack a punch.
I have had the tag 4 times in the last 11 years and my Dad had it three years ago.Fun hunt. I cant tell you how many times I have run into hunters with a general A tag hunting in 652. Most people don't have a clue its a permit area and as mentioned above there is a poaching problem. Mainly from...
Sounds like you had some good news on your research..Yea, still can't believe I got one of the two tags in the random draw, less than 5%. Hopefully MT and ID will be nice also. Was your research that you did for archery or rifle?
No, Eastmans had nothing to do with picking 39, in fact I believe they had 39 in yellow marginal area there lowest rating. The area is close to me allowing me to spend some time scouting and hopefully finding a decent bull. Do you know much about 39?
minnesotahunter- thanks for the reply. I was thinking about putting in for the deer draw but have not heard much about what kind of mulies are up there. Sounds like there is some nice bucks in there and I should think a little harder about the deer also. Did you hunt elk in 39? Looking at the...
OK, thanks John. I have been hearing about the possible snow issue today. But a guy can use a snowmobile if needed, right? .300 short mag is my favorite cal. by the way. Love it....Thank again.
Also, if you don't mind me asking how was 38?
I just got lucky in the draw with a 39-1 tag. First time applying in Wyo., random draw. Not sure how I beat those odds...
I am wondering if anyone has hunted in the area and might want to share some information. Thank you for your time.
