    What's a good Long range Muzzleloader Bullet for elk?

    I followed this post in the spring and thought I would update with my results. I bought the eld-x bullets when they came out, but decided not to use them until I saw more results with them. I decided to go with the 290 grain Barnes TMZ after a friend recommended them and I figured they would...

    2023 ANTELOPE MEAT POLE

    My first pronghorn, taken on BLM in Nevada. Scouted 3 days and hunted 7. Got stuck in a crazy thunderstorm that made the roads unpassable for 2 days, so I sat in the van and watched it rain.

    The Day Six Gear Dragonfly $$$ GIVEAWAY $$$

    This is basically what I have used for mule deer for the past few years. Knife is sharp, but awkward to hold. The saw is nice for cutting through pelvic bones though.

    Youth Rifle Options

    I took my 12 yr old son (65 lbs & small in stature) out yesterday and let him sight in his rifle. Mossberg patriot super bantam in 7mm-08. We use the 120 grain Hornady reduced recoil load. Nice little rifle, accurate, great trigger, light and he said “it doesn’t kick at all!”

    7 mag or is PRC actually better?

    I'm looking for a higher powered rifle than my .270 win. I am looking at the 7mm PRC over the 7mm RM, but it barely wins over it for me. If I already had the 7mm RM, I wouldn't even be looking at a change.
