    Family trip to the Oregon coast, Suggestions?

    if want to go fishing, hit up a guide out of Pacific City and do a dory trip for some bottom fish. You never had a ride like launching out through the surf! While your fishing have the family run/climb the sand dune, then meet up at the Pelican for lunch/dinner when you get back from fishing.

    Danner Elk Hunter

    I wore the Danner Elk hunters for years. I would destroy a pair in 1 hunting season it seemed like. Either I would break half of the BOB sole knobs off, blow out the stitching on the side above where the sole connects, waterproofing would leak, or cut the leather through the boot from a sharp...

    your 6.5 CM/elk experience

    Sure did leave an open avenue on the private/public land comment, deserve the hits on that one! I don't know, roughly 10-15 between myself and friends through the years sprinkled between .243win, 25-06 and a 270. Been hunting since late 80's and most were shot with those calibers when I was...

    your 6.5 CM/elk experience

    I agree with you on learning good shooting habits with lighter calibers. But that should be a stepping stone to the next caliber up for the animal you want to hunt. If you want to only hunt deer, antelope or elk in non pressured private land, then stop at a 6.5 cm, at an effective range, for all...

    your 6.5 CM/elk experience

    I agree, I think that the movement to 6.5 or less rifle calibers for elk isn’t going away, but doesn’t mean I agree with it. I do believe that with the newer bullets, heavier bullets and faster twist calibers out now that one caliber down from below works just as well. So if you used a 30 cal...

    Your Elk Hunting Rifle

All-around terrain day hunting from camp (timber pockets, across canyon shots, open fields, no more than 6-8 miles from truck or camp)...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    I appreciate the offer and the reply. Learn something new everyday! Never designated myself to hunting coyotes before so had no idea how suppressor sound works with them. Only popped them off when they gave me an opportunity while big game hunting. When I was talking animals I should have...

    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    So far I haven’t jumped on the suppressor band wagon! I believe that all the other reasons for suppressors other than noise reduction are company advertising selling points to get people to buy! My buddies all have suppressors, and I have shot theirs. I do like how they reduce the noise and see...

    Best cartridge for mono bullets on elk under 600 yards?

    If focusing only on elk, and you want an absolute elk hammer for 600 yards and in use a 338RUM with Barnes 210 tipped tsx bullet! I’ve killed elk with damn near every caliber between .243 win to 338 RUM and none of those smaller calibers hammers elk as well as a 338 magnum caliber does!!!
