Unit 70, I will tell you is 'hunted out' down low during 1st rifle. Elk move up very high real fast... and if there's no snow up top, they are not coming down to feed.
Where did you find out this information? I have been searching around all day, and can't come up with anything..... There are no hunt reports on forums. Can't find an outfitter in that area, nothing.
and yes, it's a big trip from the east coast for a lousy unit. I don't mind...
I drew an Oregon Elk tag:
275X - Interstate Unit No. 1. Oregon.
I desperately need a guide. Please make some recommendations.
Never received an email. Never received a tag... just decided to check draw results..
Weird.
Just looking to fill my freezer. Looking for a place with lots of Elk. I mean lots of Elk where I can get a tag and a guide to help me load it.
No trophies needed !!
What can you recommend ?
I should have been more clear. I want to make a road trip out of it. See all the parks. Spend time there. Maybe 4 days to see Everything between Vegas & Salt Lake City.
Does anyone have a list of national parks between Vegas and Salt Lake city.
Road trip & spend a lot of time there.. Including arches national park, and everything in between.
I just read about RW Trophy Ranch CWD outbreak. TX state went in, and culled the entire ranch, and buried them 100 miles away in a biohazard dump.
I was considering hunting TX, but now I'll probably have to go to the other side of the state. Far far away.
I tried about 10 boxes of various ammo. The swift groups Nicey. But I need more time with Swift.
Browning LR pro groups, but 40% of the cartridges refuse to go into battery. I tried some match bullets, but that was a waste as I'm not hunting with match rounds. It's a .308 Tikka.
As I mentioned, my gun loves the TTSX. But I had to shoot the Elk 4 times through the lungs, broadside. 180 yards. Good thing he didn't run, or I'd still be looking for him.
Now my bigger problem, I can't find lead ammo as accurate for this .308
Bad Z6 or bad Tikka. Gun went haywire and is shooting 4" low. Then shooting 2" groups when it was shooting ragged holes.
My money is on bad scope.... we'll see.
