    Moose Hunt Help

    I PM'd you about some Canadian moose hunts I've come across that appeared to be relatively easy on the pocket book. Is that all what you're looking for? Or are you wanting to go big for an Alaskan/Yukon Giant?

    6.5 Bullet for antelope

    Any of those would probably be devastating on an antelope from a 6.5 PRC. This year I shot one at 400 with a 143 ELD-X out of a Creedmoor with a MV of 2685. It entered 6" behind the shoulder and exited the back of the opposite front shoulder. It did a death run for 40 or 50 yards until it...

    CWD Detected - Proceed with Caution? Or throw it to the wind?

    I'm good with it here. Carry on without me and post it there if you like. 😉 The ungulates here are not a majority whitetail, so I wanted to include anyone with mule deer/elk CWD experiences in the discussion as well. The meat is also well cared for. Maybe just a little tainted haha

    Chronograph upgrade or downgrade...

    I borrowed an optical several times when working up loads. I found that one at least to be pretty finicky. Of the lighting wasn't right, the clouds shifted, or I wasn't situated at the perfect height above it would not read. If I reloaded a string of 5 with a specific load and got 3 velocities I...

    CWD Detected - Proceed with Caution? Or throw it to the wind?

    No. They just don't penalize you for tossing it in the landfill

    CWD Detected - Proceed with Caution? Or throw it to the wind?

    Very well stated. Thanks for the advice. My natural inclination for whatever reason is to throw caution to the wind (knowing very little about prion-based diseases and their spread between species, with a slight hint of CDC be damned after recent events) so it's good to have my personal baseline...

    CWD Detected - Proceed with Caution? Or throw it to the wind?

    Sorry, this will be kind of long. I commented on a post about CWD in the whitetail forum, but I want to get this out to the general population and see if anyone has some actual experience, studies, or first-hand experience on the subject to better educate myself and make a good decision moving...

    CWD To Eat Or Not To Eat

    So I talked with my dad and he said to play it safe and throw it away, and then spoke with my brother who pointed out that we are 4 deer from the same area last year and pretty much said it's probably not the first and probably not the last deer with CWD we'll eat. I'm somewhere in the...

    CWD To Eat Or Not To Eat

    I'm also in Wyoming and my wife shot a whitetail buck in a mandatory testing area 10 days ago. I had the meat in a cooler and cut off the horns and pulled in to the check station and dropped off the head. 4 days later I processed the deer and put it in my freezer ( of course eating the heart...

    The Hobbit Rifle

    Depending on which part of the slanted butt you measure from, I'd say 12 1/2" to 12 3/4"

    Wyoming Walk in Hunting Area's. I have questions

    What Wyodan said. If you wanted to hunt that walk-in area, you apply for unit 34 for antelope, and unit 15 for deer. Walk-in areas are nice, but I'd also look at how much National forest or BLM you might have access to. That's typically where you'll finding larger areas with a lower...

    First Montana Elk

    Never hunted Montana, so I'll throw you a little elk advice (that for some reason I have to relearn every couple of years). Don't leave elk to find elk. Finding the elk is 80% of the battle, so if you find elk and they're not where you expected, a little too far away, etc. Figure out a way to...

    The customer is always wrong?

    If everyone hunting out west is a mormon, I guess I'm in good company 😉

    Red Stag

    I'm also curious if anyone on here has done this. As far as dumping money into a guided hunt goes, the high success rate and Argentinian hospitality ( okay, food... Fancy meals at a nice lodge) seem very appealing to me. That and I also speak Spanish and have a soft spot in my heart for Latin...
