    Migrating Elk Behavior

    I will be hunting migrating elk at the end of the month in western Wyoming. The herd I am hunting migrates upwards of 130 miles in an average of 27 days (per wyfg data). With that much ground to cover, does their behavior during the day change significantly? Will they still bed during the day...

    Elk hunting grizzly country

    Here's a list to approved bear resistant food storage. Keep in mind with coolers like a yeti, they are only considered bear resistant if secured with a bolt or lock. Your truck bed would probably be bear resistant, but not bear proof. With enough time, a griz can get into just about anything...

    Elk hunting grizzly country

    Make sure you are following food storage and carcass restrictions at a minimum. Pay especially close attention to the minimum distances for camps and trails. It would really suck to shoot a bull and have to drag the carcass 1/2 of a mile. This will keep you on the right side of the law. The...

    WY: Applied For and Drew Wrong Tag

    As a resident of Teton county I can tell you 1. private land access is pretty much impossible to come by in this part of the state, 2. there is very little actual huntable private land (i.e. not neighborhoods or little ranchettes) in 84. There may be 1 or 2 ranches along the hoback that could be...

    First LR hunting rifle

    I was not a fan of the ph2 grip until I shot it, now I really like it since it puts you in a much more ergonomic shooting position. I shoot mine regularly at 1000 (my range's max) with exceptional accuracy.

    First LR hunting rifle

    I have a seekins ph2 in 7mm rem mag that I have been really impressed with. It is extremely accurate and it's given me a lot more confidence at longer ranges. I have a trijicon credo 2.5-15 on it and for the money I don't think you can do much better for a durable scope. The only downside to the...

    Am I looking for a unicorn?

    From my experience of hunting elk my entire life in general units is that 300 class bulls do exist but actually killing them on a normal tag is a rarity. With that being said, the only way to increase your chances at a 300+ bull is to draw/obtain a really good tag. If you have the points, there...

    Long range scope of your choice for under $1,000?

    I second Trijicon

    Training Rifle Glass

    Exposed turrets (mainly elevation since the credo windage is capped) is pretty important for me to practice with so I think the huron doesn't meet the criteria.

    Long Range Rifle Questions

    I was in the same boat as you and picked up a seekins ph2 in 7rm last summer. It is a phenomenal rifle and after dialing it in it was shooting .3 moa groups at 100 with factory ammo. It is a confidence inspiring rifle, and I had never shot beyond 400 at a range but the first day I was hitting at...

    Training Rifle Glass

    I am building a .223 training rifle and the goal is to get is as close to my hunting rifle as possible while staying on a somewhat reasonable budget. My hunting setup has a trijicon credo hx 2.5-15 on it and I am looking to find something that will be similar enough without breaking the bank...

    Wyoming Thorofare Elk Questions

    I’ve worked for tx (not hunting though), know the owners of Yellowstone pretty well, and have briefly met the owner of constant quest. I’f I were booking a hunt, it would be with Yellowstone for the first rifle hunt. IMO they have the best camp, and the first rifle hunt is your best bet for a...

    Elk Outfitter Recommendation (Backpack, archery)

    That will be a tough one to find a guide for since every outfitter I know of has an assigned camp that they have to use. Outfitters on national forest can't legally spike out from their assigned camps, so you would have to find something that's not on national forest which is pretty much the...

    Son drew National Elk Refuge permit this weekend!

    If the gun doesn’t make it, pm me. I can lend you one.

    Son drew National Elk Refuge permit this weekend!

    I agree with these areas as your best bet. The ERP has been going on in the park so there will be some pressure moving them out of the park and onto the refuge from the north. The east side is where they can migrate out of the timbered bedding areas on the forest. The west and south sides are...
