Um, bossman, technically it’s “WKR”; just don’t want you to end up with a bad batch of merch. I’m a newb here but put me down for a shirt and yeti cup.
The thread topic and title is Elk hunting. The data I’ve seen show a U.S. elk population of about 1 million; of which about 400,000 reside in Colorado and Wyoming. So while those are only 2 states out of 50; it takes 40% of the elk out of the equation if you want to hunt with calibers less than...
This is misinformation. I haven’t checked every state, but I know Wyoming and Colorado do not allow .22 caliber rifles for hunting elk; .24 caliber minimum. See below.
This reminds me of another of my dad’s shenanigans. We’re down hunting on his ranch years ago and we both shoot deer. I’ve got mine broken down in an ice chest (south Texas) and am prepping to leave (it must have been a Sunday). He’s got his deer gutted and hanging. He asks me “hey you wouldn’t...

I hear you. That hunt was ten years ago, and we’ve done a good amount of hunting since. He’s in his 70’s now, and I’d happily hunt with him more under certain circumstances. He ended up scaring himself a few times with “oops” moments in the last few years. He put a .270 Win round down a 7mm Rem...
I don’t hunt with my old man much anymore, because he pulls some shenanigans that some of the notes in this thread remind me of. But, here’s a time where his antics worked out to my benefit.
He’s under contract to sell a small ranch he’s had for several years, and we’ve spent tons of time...
This is a fun thread. This is my 375 Weatherby. Sako L61R action Douglas heavy barrel, custom built by Flaig’s a good while back. I shoot 270gr Barnes LRX at 2850 fps. Had great results in Africa and on whitetail stateside. Thinking about taking it for elk next year over my 300 Wby, it just hits...
