@Huntin_GI This is a solid review. I am looking at both the 65mm (Ares) and the 85mm (Cronos) from Athlon and your review is certainly guiding me toward sucking it up and carrying the extra weight around. Thanks for taking the time to do the review.
I live in Charlotte, NC. I like archery, but am also open to rilfe/muzzleloader hunting. I have points in WY, CO, ID, and MT for Elk. I am always looking to increase my hunting network.
Welcome.
Charlotte, NC over here. Newer to western hunting, but have elk points in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Colorado. I am wanting to take my son out west to hunt Elk. He is 13 and has points as well. I prefer archery, but he is a gun guy.
Guys,
I am a relatively new hunter. Took the sport on as an adult. I have hunted deer several times and I have been interested in doing a North Carolina (I live in Charlotte, NC) black bear hunt.
I am curious to understand if you guys think hiking into the Pisgah or Natahala National Forest...
My neighbor recently bought an 80 acre plot of land. A good part of the property is being used for a business, but he lets me hunt the back of the property. I have four trail cameras up and two of the spots are getting tons of deer traffic. The issue i'm running into is that I keep getting...
@Bocephus21 How did your elk hunt end up going last year? Did you end up in Chesnimnus? I'm asking as I have an opportunity to hunt this area this year, on some guaranteed tags, for the first rifle season. Your thoughts/experience would be greatly appreciated.
Hey everyone,
I have been a member for a few years, but have not had a chance to do more than just look around. I grew up in Chicago, currently live in NC, and got hooked on elk when I was living in AZ. I also enjoy whitetail hunting and have Moose, Bear, Sheep, and Goat on my list.
I find...
I also have a Tikka T3 in Ultra light in .300 Win Mag. Shooting Sako rounds at the range isn’t too bad, but put hornady on there and burn 20 rounds and I want to call it a day.
When fired at a live animal you don’t even notice any kick.
Had you hunted Frank Church before this trip? I was thinking of going Sept 21 for elk with a backup deer tag since it can be filled by Bear, Wolf, or Cougar. Just curious on your thoughts. We were looking at doing a drop camp.
Thanks for sharing. I’m headed to Idaho for my first elk hunt, in the Frank Church Wilderness, and was looking for a simple clothing plan to take me through the different possible weather situations.
Thank you for the hook up.
Thanks for sharing. [
