Would love some educated opinions on this quirky load...
Hi all, I'd appreciate some more opinions on this load I'm working up and why it behaves as it does. The rifle is a Tikka T3x in 7mm-08. It's brand new and only has about 70-80 rounds down the pipe. I'm shooting 140 E tips with Varget, at about 2725fps ( measured with Chrony). The scope is... -

Unit 48 Wyoming
Hi all, If there's anyone out there who has hunted unit 48 in the recent past, I'd love the chance to pick your brain a little (could be by phone, or pm). My 12 year old son drew the type 6 tag as a backup. I understand it's a difficult hunt and I'd love to hear the details so that we can... -

Looking for some decision making advice for central wyoming
Hi all, A buddy and I are headed out next Fall, to hunt in Wyoming. (This will be our second time hunting elk. We hunted in SW Colorado a couple of years ago and were lucky enough to kill one elk between the two of us). We'll be going during October, looking for cows only. We've got our eyes on... -

Looking for a nudge in a new direction..
Hey all, I'm interested in going elk hunting again next year (2017). Last year, I hunted unit 54 in Colorado, which was beautiful (and I was lucky enough to get an elk). However, I'm looking for a different experience this time. I'm still just hoping for a cow tag, as it's the western... -

Wyoming Unit 19?
Anyone ever hunt unit 19 for elk, in Wyoming? I'm considering a cow hunt there in 2017. On the plus side, it has a pretty good success rate, I should be able to draw the tag, the terrain doesn't look terribly harsh and the elevations are moderate. I'm also drawn to the fact that the country... -

elevation blues
Hey all, I went elk hunting for my first time, this past October. I got a cow tag for unit 54 in Colorado and headed out for the first rifle season. It was beautiful and a lot of fun. I was even lucky enough to shoot an elk! However, there was one thing that really put a damper on that trip... -

Last chance for advice!
Well, next week, I get on a plane to Colorado for my first elk hunt ever. I've got a cow tag for the first rifle season and will be hunting in the Gunnison region. It will also be my first time in the Rockies in over a decade. I'm very excited! So, for all you experienced elk hunters out... -

mailing gear
Have any of you ever mailed gear to yourself when traveling for a hunt? I'm wondering about how I could mail some gear to a town where I know no one. Have any of you mailed stuff to a sporting goods store? Post office? I'd welcome any advice that would allow me to avoid the insane extra bag...- Dougfir

north-facing slopes
It seems that everything ever written about finding elk mentions that you should be looking at north and east facing slopes to find where elk spend their days. This has been one of the things I've looked for when map-scouting. In the unit I'll be hunting this Fall, there's this one long (6 or... -

Favorite pants
Hey all, what's your favorite kind of pants for hiking/hunting the backcountry. I'm thinking something that's tough, comfortable, does well when wet, light enough to be comfortable on a nice day, but also good for colder weather with long-johns... Something that is not made of cotton... comes... -

Car rentals for hunting
Hi all, I'm heading out to CO for a first rifle season elk hunt, in October (unit 54). My hunting partner and I will have to fly out and I'm curious about other people's experiences renting a vehicle for hunting. I'm unsure about whether we'll need a truck, or whether a small suv would be...- Dougfir

High, or not so high?
Hi all, I'm in the planning stages of my first elk hunt. I'll be out in SW CO for the first rifle season, this Fall. Nearly everything I read about elk hunting says that elk will largely stay high at that time of year (unless there are deep, early snows). I began my search for locations...
