    Hunting For Big Bucks

    Where I Hunt in Wyoming the rut is just getting going. I would would worry about it if I didn't find big bucks with the does just yet. In fact id rather find one that wasn't busy with does. Much like elk it is the smaller bucks that show up first with the does.

    Elk hunting after total hip replacement?

    I am curious how things turned out for you on your elk hunt. I am 57 this year and will be having a hip replacement in 6 weeks. I am concerned about hunting with the new hip. I should probably add that i have had 2 knee replacements and have so far not had any knee problems while hunting.

    Elk broadhead

    Muzzy Trocar got the job done again this year. 58-yard recovery after total pass through of both lungs. Every year I think about trying a new broadhead for elk, but I just keep using what has been working for me.

    Anyone else run a 22-243 or 22-243AI / Middlestead? Share your experience!

    I built a 22-243 a few years ago. I absolutely love this caliber. My rifle has 1/8 twist 26" barrel. This have proven to be a very accurate flat shooter.

    Hunters flying on United.

    I have a hunt scheduled for May in Alaska. I usually fly on Alaskan Air but every flight has a stop in Seattle. With the covid19 I want to avoid Seattle and United has a direct flight to Anchorage. I am looking for info on flying United with firearms and potentially bringing home a bear skull...

    Bullet choice for moose/brown bear in 300 mag

    Another Barnes fan here. I'm on an 18 animal 1 shot kill streak with the TTSX 180 guns from a 300 RUM. Most recent was Alaskan moose at a fair poke. He died in sight of me.

    How many game bags in your pack.

    Depends how far in I am. But usually 3. 2 for deboned quarters and 1 for trim. If I have tough hike back I'll take 4.

    .30/06 thoughts

    30-06 is fantastic for elk. I have taken many with this caliber at 500 yards and closer.

    Shooting sticks or bipod worth taking?

    I use anything and everything I can. Rifle mounted bi-pods, spotter tri-pod, trekking poles, etc. Bi-pods on a prone shot are the best but not always feesable so I carry something in addition to the bi-pod always.

    Attaching Stickbow to your pack.

    I occasionally put by bow on my backpack. Mostly when climbing out of a steep canyon that I like to hunt. I put a loop on the bottom of my pack that I stick one of the limbs into then run the compression straps over it. I also have a sling made out of a seat belt with loop sewed on each end...

    How many here hunting with primative bows?

    I haven't hunted with a self bow for a few years now but I still shoot them a fair bit. I have been wanting to build another bow and I have a couple that have been roughed out already so it wouldn't take me long to get one done.

    Hip boots for moose hunt

    I took insulated Big Chiefs and my feet froze for 10 out of 11 days. Plus some of the camps have so much water hip waders are very limiting.
