elk

Hi everyone, so I am new Elk and deer hunter. I grew up hunting mostly upland game. I am going on a guided Elk hunt in October in Idaho and I looking to purchase a larger caliber rifle than my 6.5 creedmoor. I’ve ready many articles debating this topic. I am a big guy 6-3 230. Not afraid of a...

With a 300 Win Mag, -- could I get some good feedback on the Berger 215 grain open tip match bullets performance and expansion when shooting between zero and 600 yard shots ? thanks very much...

Ive been meaning to do a write up about how my particular bullet behaved. I know there are quite a few threads regarding how bergers perform on game, alot of people report that they don't get exit wounds with them so I thought I would give a detailed account of how the 6.5 156 performed. The...

I wanted to share what I thought was an interesting mount, with an equally interesting back-story. My family is fortunate enough to have access to a cabin that belongs to a long-time family friend. It is located smack-dab in the middle of some of Colorado's finest hunting ground, and my boys...

Well after building a load for my Kimber 280 Ackley with a Barnes 145 LRX and H4831sc. Found a unique looking antelope and took a 375 yard shot and my load development all came together on Friday Oct. 15. Saturday morning I was blessed at first light with possibly my personal best bull elk on...

I'm trying to decide on a cartridge for elk-sized game and up for shots up to 800 yards. It must be at least .308 caliber. I have a .270 Win which will handle everything up to elk comfortably. This cartridge should also be enough gun for brown bear, though it will mainly be for a...

I’m going to do my first cow Elk hunt, in Idaho unit 66a and Tex Creek, can any one give me tip for this area. This hunt will be in November. I have been doing some scouting using OnX maps but any help would be great.

Has anyone went on a guided hunt in Colorado/Wyoming for under $5,500 (this includes elk tag)? If so, who was the outfitter and how was the experience?

Put a little video together for a season that fell apart this last summer. My "long range" experience was 230 yards LOL!

My son and I are going to elk hunting in the Applegate unit and this is his very first time elk hunting, I haven't been elk hunting in years and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions or recommendations on where we could start out to increase are chances.

Does anyone have any experience with Horox Outfitters (Josh Horrocks) out of Utah for Elk hunting? Thanks!

Hello, I am flying out for Elk hunt in Idaho first week of October. Normally I drive to any hunts, but this year due to work I am not able to get enough time from work to drive and have to fly. Have any of you ever transported Elk Antlers on Airplane? I would really appreciate any experience...

I'm looking for some info/tips on elk hunting in Idaho. We will be going in mid October hunting the middle fork zone. None of us live near the area and can't take the time off to do a scouting trip so its basically been all E-scouting. That being said, I feel like we have found a good spot...

Take a look. To sum up last season it was quick and went by too fast. Work had me in the office almost continuously. What time I did get I spent getting my old man his first pronghorn. That said, I did connect with a few critters and enjoy every minute!!
