    Current Conditions Questions on First Rifle Elk Hunt

    Got it, thank you. Will stay very mobile these first couple days to find that sign.

    Current Conditions Questions on First Rifle Elk Hunt

    Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I'm happy to have some extra glass time in the morning/ evening compared to what I'm used to - in A Zone CA Deer season, they'll typically feed in open areas for maybe 30 minutes after sunrise and an hour before sunset. That leaves a VERY long and hot day to...

    Current Conditions Questions on First Rifle Elk Hunt

    Heading out to my cow rifle hunt tomorrow. 10 days including travel. I've been to the area a couple times and have learned the terrain pretty well, so I've got a fairly solid plan. But a couple questions came to mind when I was thinking over my plans today. I'll have very intermittent...

    A Zone California deer hunting (Cache Creek Wilderness)

    Yeah man. I've seen some great elk action there. If only we could draw a tag, right? But tsg or not, it's so cool watching them in the wild.

    Turkey Sign - Cattle Dung

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone. In this particular area, there are no bear, and very limited amounts of pigs, if any. There are plenty of crows though. So my estimate now would be that it's either them or turks. This is all helpful for me to hear, because there were times in the past that...

    IN reach vs Zoleo

    Zoleo is OUTSTANDING. Game-changer.

    Turkey Sign - Cattle Dung

    We have a lot of grazing land, and thus, cattle dung, in many areas I hunt. I know turkeys will flip cattle scat looking for bugs and such (at least they do out here in Comnu-fornia). But do any other animals do this? I usually assume it's turkey sign, but I've been wondering lately if it can...

    California Bear Ammo

    Well the good news is I determined yesterday that the zero for both is almost exactly the same at 100 yd. Close enough that it would be a vital shot with either ammo on the same zero out to probably 400 yards (given that I'd need to dial the turret differently for each, as the drop rates are...

    California Bear Ammo

    Oh, got it. Now that you mention it, I think that was the first box of ammo I ever bought for this rifle. Then I never saw it again since.

    California Bear Ammo

    This is extremely helpful. Thanks. The expansion relative to distance was one of my main questions/concerns; I've read a lot about that, particularly with non-lead bullets. It's pretty much the main reason I started this thread. As I said, I can't imagine shooting for vitals beyond 400...

    California Bear Ammo

    Glad to hear the 180 is so highly regarded byv you and others. Thanks. I don't know if I'm lucky, or if Bergara makes an amazing rifle/barrel, but I swear I haven't found a round yet that my rifle doesn't shoot/group well. Lead or non-lead, 180 ir 168 grain... they all land within a couple...

    California Bear Ammo

    Yessir, 8 days left! I'm heading out for a 2 night backcountry trip starting Wednesday. Wish I could do a few more days, but my job doesn't agree.! Will take a pig if I see one too... May be an ignorant/dumb question, but what brand/make/model, etc. makes the 180 gr TTSX? I've only seen the...
