    Speed goats vs match bullets.

    I think it depends on the match bullet. I killed a antelope doe and a couple of coyotes with the 120 Matchking. Looked like the bullet zipped through with no expansion. This was out of my .260. This year I killed my bear with a 130 ELDm out of my 6.5CM. Like mentioned above, stay off the shoulders.

    Sightron S-TAC 3-16X42 FFP Mil experience

    I sent mine back before mounting it. I could not see the cross hairs against a wood power pole out my bedroom window.

    Eastern washington and oregon elk hunting.

    I’m going to assume you are talking the Blue mountains since they run from WA to OR. The terrain is pretty brutal if you get off the roads. Typicall gear works just fine.

    Hot weather boot?

    Those look like a decent boot, but I don't care for the top 3 eyelets not being open.

    Son shot his first bear.

    He sure was! After shooting his second bear a week later I think he's hooked. Just like his dad and older brother.

    Kimber hunter weight VS Tikka

    I do really like my Tikka, feeds like silk and accurate too. I'd hate to spend that kind of money and not be satisfied. I will look into other ways to reduce weight. I think a lot of the issue this year was the heat. It was in the 90s all week long plus we were hiking bare ridges in the middle...

    Kimber hunter weight VS Tikka

    Having spent 5 days in the wilderness this spring bear hunting, I've decided I need to lighten my load. I'm currently shooting a 20" Tikka w/ Nomad can @ 8#13oz. I've already decided I'm going to ditch the can for these grueling back country hunts. This will bring down my weight to 7#14oz. I'm...

    What's the latest on buying off of Gun Broker?

    I'll check with the local guy and go from there. Sometimes it takes a while to get an answer from him, but at this time of year there's no rush getting a new rifle ready. I won't have it in time for spring bear, and deer season is still a few months out.

    What's the latest on buying off of Gun Broker?

    I have not bought anything off of GB in quite some time. I've heard there are added fees now for a buyer? Is it still possible to find good deals on there? Looking for a Kimber Hunter pro Disolve Blak.

    Optic for .270

    Southern Lights pretty much nailed it. As long as you take time to dial back down after the shot I don't see an issue, especially if your not dialing in more than one rotation.

    Hot weather boot?

    Looking for a boot when it's warm and dry. Something that's breathable but still appropriate for rugged off trail hiking. This year for our spring bear trip the weather was in the upper 80's so my feet swampy the whole trip. Obviously being water proof is not a concern.

    Optic for .270

    If you can overlook the zero stop, which I have some with and without, take a look at the SS 3-9 and the SVH 3-10. I have both of these.

    Do bears come back to an area after shot at?

    My son missed a boar on the first day of our hunt a couple of years ago. We waited 2 days and back, this time he made a great shot on the bear. Although it's possible this was a different boar, it sure looked like the same one. In my opinion, as long as the food source doesn't change the bear...

    anyone else eat supper on the trail vs camp?

    We mostly use MREs when out on trail, this way we don't have to worry about the jet boil or extra water. This year my main course was due to be "done" @4:00. Guess when my bear popped out, yep 3:55. I just threw the MRE back in the backpack and off we went. We didn't get that bear until a couple...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    Last week in we we're finding bears from 2500-3500. Now that we've had two weeks of 80+ weather i'm guessing the bears will be between 4000-6000.

    anyone else eat supper on the trail vs camp?

    When spring bear hunting, we eat dinner at 3:00 sharp. Any later than that and your supper is likely to get interrupted by a bear sighting. of course as fall progresses, the earlier it gets dark. By November, we're eating a big meal back at camp, then staying up and enjoying the campfire.
