Join Epic Outdoors and they will send you all the info you need in a monthly magazine to apply to whatever species in all possible states. I wouldn’t limit yourself to those 3 states. You want as many chances as possible The thing about applying in the various 48 states is once you buy the...

Who here has gone (or knows someone who has gone) on an outfitted bighorn hunt in Alberta, and what was the success rate in camp? I recently priced an Alberta bighorn hunt with 2 different outfitters. 1 was $70K and one was $100K. Heard of a guy on another forum who went with the $100K...

Replica horns will be used for the mount. Real horns and skull will be euro. Ended up sending everything to one place that has a local reproduction guy. Hope to have euro back in March and mount back by June Merry Christmas everyone!

Those are some beautiful mounts, and stud rams! Congratulations! Yeah Dewey's work speaks for itself, and I almost went with them, even though their wait is 14 months not including replica horns from WYO Bcktry, but the dealbreaker for me was they won't crate and ship. (Im a 33 hr drive from...

NF 2.5-10x42 NXS is what I took on my stone hunt

Yeah it's not just MT, seems all roads lead to them across the US, and the process you outline above is standard operating procedure. They clearly do great work but their backlog adds another 6-8 months to the timeline, as well as paying for shipping back and forth. There are some taxis out...

Looking for recommendations for a taxidermist to send my ram to. Ideally would be a one stop shop where they can also do replica horns inhouse

Congratulations on drawing the tag, and good luck! Let us know how you do

Thank you jjmp! The 270 was giving me 1/3 MOA groups out to 300 yards and I couldn't get close to that with anything I loaded for the 7mm-08. I had a 280 AI and a 300 WM also in the running over the summer, but the 270/140 BT combo rose to the top. The 7mm-08 was a last minute challenger. If...

140 gr .277 ballistic tip. Here is a video leading up to the shot:

Well, I am making my way back home, currently in Vancouver. We were originally chasing a 38.5 inch (I know this because a resident later killed it and we measured it) lighter colored ram but due to fog got busted on opening day. A couple days later when the weather let up on our way back into...

Thanks for all the feedback, Gentlemen. After all of this, when I took my 7mm-08 to the range with a variety of loads, it didn't love any of these. The best the 7mm-08 did does not compete with what my old faithful Browning .270 A-Bolt does with 140 gr Ballistic Tips over a mild 51 gr load of RL...

Congratulations on some old warriors!

Dream ram! Looks like he had a longer coat too, early September?
