Yup, that is the two rifle problem. Confidently dropping wolf without tracking for miles, and blowing up fox and lynx. I think its solvable, just have to pick a really narrow slice of energy in the ballistics, and pick the right bullet.

7mag is my all rounder, its 26 inch before the suppressor. 162 grain eld-x's at 2960 FPS, mild but true. Yeah the action is going to get checked out. It may not be a good donor as it is. Im still just brain storming for fun.

Viable option. Its not so much that Wolves are hard to kill, its that its easy to pop a lynx like a grape.

Just for fun discussion and brain storming. I just got gifted an old Savage 110 in 270 win. It was a village rifle up here in Alaska and its beat to death, I doubt the barrel is even straight on it. But hey! Might be a free action. I am going to have a smith here tear it down and inspect it to...

Thanks everyone. It means a lot.

Same herd as pic 4 actually. They stay pretty dispersed in cover, and clump up in the open.

Haha yeah, thats a tough one. Elk herd at about 2.25 miles range at 60 power bedded. They are pretty dispersed. The camera on my phone doesn't give enough resolution or accurate coloring. When spotting elk pay close attention to coloring or cookie shaped bushes.

2017 Late Season

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think elk hunting is going to be a thing I pursue aggressively. Especially late season. I got to use a lot of my Alaska mountain and arctic infantry training. fitness fitness fitness. In hindsight, there were a few times I was glad we didn't get the shot in...

I have a straight Leopold Ventana I got for christmas. I kind of obsessed about the difference for a while doing research on them but now I don't think it matters too much. If you are looking up at steep angles I could see angled being better. I just did a hunt where I did exactly that but...

I am no expert, but I listened to a podcast with a couple. There is a great podcast on meat eater, with a few industry guys, and a vortex rep that talks about this a lot. I would recommend listening to it. The whole meat eater podcast is great actually. I think it sais vortex rep in the title...

I just did my first ever elk hunt in unit 26 just south of you. We saw elk everywhere on private and public, we were public. Do cardio every single day until then. I live in Colorado, just lower down, and the elevation was hard on me. They won't come down unless they have to come down. They will...

Myself and two friends went late season elk hunting for a total of 8 days. It was amazing. One of which is an experienced hunter in Washington and Oregon. The other guy and I are new. The other guy is a Colorado native, and 21 years old. I am from Georgia and 34, but I spent 10 years in the Army...
