    Does Dialing Take Too Long?

    If you're good at killing coyotes any ungulate is easy as far as the shot goes. But you can hang up on how hard it is to kill a deer if you want.

    Does Dialing Take Too Long?

    Ok I don't know if bears count as big game but they tend to move a lot. I've seen guys miss a chip 300yd shot because they were too busy trying to dial when they should have just held 2moa or whatever and shot. It's a good skill to know that you have.

    Does Dialing Take Too Long?

    You obviously haven't called coyotes or wolves. A quick hold over out to 300-400 is something that will cost you if you can't do it.

    6.5 PRC

    My wife and I have killed 15ish elk between us maybe more with my 6.5x47. I bet 400yd average max 600. Never lost one and never had a big tracking job. Every one is dead within 100yds. Much less impressive ballistics compared to the prc.

    How big do Coyotes get in SW CO?

    Western coyotes average under 30lbs. Wolves 80+- 10lbs here. Eastern coyotes do get a lot bigger. Im sorry but I don't believe anybody about wolf sightings unless they can show me tracks with size reference.

    Jack Russell Terrier questions

    They are handy little dogs. I use them to hunt coyotes. They are working dogs so if all you want them to do is hang out it might not be the best breed for you.

    Horseback questions

    As a horse hunter who takes non horse people hunting from time to time, being able to get on and off as quickly and efficiently as possible is my most desired trait. Stretch and do body weight squats. Learn the motion of swinging your leg over. Dude horses are most likely bullet proof but if...

    I just sent a cva Cascade into them this week. The customer service guy said oh must be a crowning issue, as if they've had a lot of them. I hope mine turns out as good as yours did.

    Backcountry Bear Defense

    I live in griz country and carry a Glock 29 most days from March till dec. I put the 20 mag in it with the extender. Not as nice to kill stuff trying to eat you as a shotgun but I'll always have it on me and I'm confident it will work when I need it to.

    .308 and Elk hunting..

    According to a guide on here he had a client bounce a .308 round off a elk's shoulder at 250yds! 🤔 My advice is use a heavier bullet that is the most accurate out of your rifle. Ive killed a pile of elk with a eld-x out of a 6.5. your 308 work great if you put the bullet where it's supposed to go.

    Anti's get their way in Montana

    I get what you're saying and agree with most of it, but the basic biology of wolves v bull elk is very different. Wolves travel 15-20mi a night just because they can while bulls will hang out in the same drainage for days at a time. Not to mention there are far more elk than wolves thank Christ...

    Anti's get their way in Montana

    In wi they cut fresh tracks heading into a small island of timber and turn dogs out and shoot the wolves as they come out the other side. Wouldn't work at all in large roadless areas like northern MN or Montana. Hounds would either get out ran or killed.

    Elk hunting the Bob Marshall wilderness

    I hunt back there horseback every year. I do it because I love the country. That being said I think it's criminal outfitters are operating back there still. It's worse than used car salesmen. Not good for the few elk left back there and not good for the clients being dupped. There are easier and...

    Great Pyrenees vs. Coyote Pack

    As a person who uses small terriers specifically for coyote hunting, I'm very skeptical.

    Ramblings of a moron/guide

    Id like to hear what ranges your incompetent hunters are shooting elk with 308 in the shoulder and not dying? Must be 500yds plus. I agree with you 100% but 300wm is not my pick for beginners. People are getting soft is the just of what I get from your post.
