    Best scope around $450??

    This Leupold fits your bill just fine. https://www.leupold.com/vx-3hd-3-5-10x40-cds-zl-duplex#/product.features. You don't need more than 10x mag. The MOA adjustments with zero lock are great. I've used Leupolds like this for sheep, goats, tahr, elk, plains game... you get the idea. They have...

    Do you shoot factory or load your own ammo?

    I only reload / handload (except for rimfire .22's). I started many years back when I had a couple of 6.5x55 Swedish Mausers. Shells were only available from Norma in Sweden. They were $1/round from Norma, but it was only $0.10/round to hand load. So I was saving $19/box to load. In...

    It's different hunting out here. Often wide spaces - a lot of climbing, hiking and glassing.

    Sharing Garmin inReach?

    I used my InReach for helicopter extract from a wilderness elk hunt last September. Concur with changing contact info if you loan it out. The Garmin subscription is for the device. The subscription merely pays for someone at the other end to coordinate a rescue (for anyone) when the SOS...

    7mm Rem Mag

    I had ejection issues with a new Kimber Mountain Ascent in 7mm Rem Mag. This was with handloads that fed flawlessly in all out other rifles - Brownings, Weatherby, Remington, Christensen. I backed the powder load off just a bit and the ejection problem went away. The chamber had tighter...

    7mm Rem Mag

    Consensus above is 7mm Rem Mag. 6 of 7 guys in my elk camp shoot it. No issue killing elk. 7RM for me. Perhaps for you too.

    Some bear success

    Nice bears. You know you can insert the photos right in your text. You don't have to attach. More folks will see them.

    Is WY DIY a true proposition?

    Tough decision. If there is limited public land in the unit you draw that land will have the antelope run out if it early. A lot of hunters. Sometimes you get lucky. A buddy of mine drew non res last year with no points and took his young kids with him for a hunt. He filled his tag just...

    Re zero after traveling

    I agree. I took some shots (suppressed rifle) at 10K a valley away from my camp, and my dope was close, but off at 800 yards by .25 to .50 MOA.
