Deer on kodiak in august

Any tips or thoughts? Looking at taking 2 or 3 folks with me to hunt the high alpine areas, with the obvious goal of tagging out. Looking for advice on if it's a feasible hunt, I plan to keep shots below 200yds if possible. Will the terrain allow that? Should I go later in the year? Does it...

Elk calibers for western wa

It's not about need, it's about want. I enjoy hunting with larger calibers. I have killed plenty with a 6mm, 7mm and 3006. I just happen to prefer hunting with my big guns because they are fun and i shoot them well. And big slow bullets do less meat damage 🤷‍♂️

I'm a fan of bonded bullets myself. Even the deer and elk ive taken in clear cuts, all have been under 200yds

No worries here, I've got over 100rds of loaded ammo for it plus plenty of supplies to reload. Debating trying the hornady interlocks or the speer soft point boat tails

Elk calibers for western wa

Where i hunted before i moved to alaska (moving back down for a couple years) most of the shots were under 200yds and very rarely over 100. I took my last elk with a 338 and my last 3 caribou with my 375 hh (2 were under 100yds 1 was right at 330yds and very limited bloodshot). I think the 375...

What's y'alls go to calibers for the dense timber of wester wa? I've used everything from a 6mm rem to a 458 lott on various North American big game. Thinking I'll probably settle on my 45-70 and 375 for the next few years.
