How far can you shoot off a backpack?
Some of you are assassins! I feel like I can probably shoot off a pack as fat as I can off a bipod. Probably my preferred poison. For me, it’s not always exactly cozy depending on the terrain. Longest I have ever shot at an animal off a pack in prone: elk 550, dall 650, desert 525, and mule...- Raypo

308 168 ELD-Ms on Game
My experience has been they both kill equally, as well. My only point - is that according to the people that design the bullet, eventually it won’t and math will catch-up with you. I did have an ELDM come apart really badly but it just blasted rib bone through the vitals and it was instant...- Raypo

308 168 ELD-Ms on Game
Im aware. If a bullet comes apart at entry, which the ELDM has a substantial larger chance of happening, the lethal probabilities are decreased substantially. This is especially so on a possible rib bone or larger bone contact. Additionally, the ELDX will most likely cause a larger wound...- Raypo

4 in a mag, and 6 in a ammo pouch that goes in my front pocket with a range card.- Raypo

300 Win Mag Question
It’s hard for me to not say Berger. 300 Win Mag, like others said, 180 Nosler. I think 180 is the sweet spot for a 300 win with H1000, 215M.- Raypo

308 168 ELD-Ms on Game
Any bullet can kill a deer, and I have used ELDMs on game with great success. However, this a however. ELDXs are designed specifically for game. Big differences in jacket thickness and the bond between the jacket and core. It is very likely, you will get a jacket core separation on an ELDM...- Raypo

What distance between water holes make sitting effective?
I just read through - congrats! -
What distance between water holes make sitting effective?
I would not attempt to spot and stalk them- my opinion. A couple busted up attempts and they are gone. Every time I try, it takes 3-4 attempts to get a 90 yard shot. Antelope will come to water with a pop up but as you already know not being able to sit out there beforehand is not good. If... -

Users of SAC bushings in Redding type S?
Personally, I have tightened my SD’s using this combo (Redding S and SAC bushings). This is such a touchy subject with some, just in my own experience, I have found a bushing die followed by an expander mandrel works well for neck tension and low SD’s. I use a .003 or .004 bushing and expand... -

Need help with elk shoulder mount pose
Yeah. Once in a lifetime bull there. He’s a toad. I have him hanging next to a couple 300 class bulls and it makes them look tiny. -
taxidermy bills
I agree. I really dont care about the difference between $650-$950. I dont even ask the cost. My taxidermist knows I care about quality and charge me what it cost. I get that it’s not for everyone and not everyone wants to plaster the house with taxidermy. My house is taxidermy and I want...- Raypo

What to do with old taxidermy (Clearing out house)
I have provided explicit instructions to my family regarding gear and taxidermy. If they dont care about the money - estate sale. It’s gone and it will be pennies on the dollar. However, if they wish to make some money and spend a little time, I have instructed them to private sale, item by...- Raypo

Opportunity for first Elk Hunt in Montana
I’m only guessing you are looking at late October into early November? Last year I was elk hunting during this timeframe in the Lewis and Clark area. I’d say temperatures ranged from single digits to mid 30’s. Depending on location, timeframe, and hunting style, would all be factors before I... -
6.5 PRC
In my opinion, and backed by experience, a 6.5PRC is on the smaller end of the ”good” spectrum. If you’re buying a rifle, or building a rifle for elk, I think there are better choices. But if you are buying a rifle to range from deer to elk, it’s a good choice. I also dont think you can over... -
Quality of Rams on Guided Hunts
I do agree. For the most part not all people really care about trophy animals, and this probably is most people. It doesn’t matter if I’m in sheep camp, elk Camo, deer camp, or wherever. There are always a split of return hunters and newbies. Let’s just say you are hunting dall sheep for the... -
