    Franchi, SX4, Weatherby, Mossberg

    I have both the affinity and the sx4 as well as several others. The sx4 will be softer shooting being gas operated. They both perform flawlessly with several thousand rounds a year through them and all over the country. I shoot more benelli than anything so the franchi points better for me when...

    Mescalero Cow Hunt

    Spoke to them this morning. Guide is required on everything except turkey. They will provide a list after you draw a tag. Just in case anyone else is wondering since this appears to be some top secret thing… 😂😂

    NM Turkey

    Was looking into expanding a little further west during turkey season and trying for a Merriam. Looking North Central, are they as vocal as Rio's? Looking more for advice on how to hunt them in the mountains since most of my turkeys come from a creek bottom or a pasture here in OK. Share your...

    Mescalero Cow Hunt

    Has anyone done this hunt recently? I am looking at them and the Jicarilla cow hunts for applying this year. Are you required to have a guide on the Mescalero? When I called and left a message as well as sent an email asking but figure I would find out any first hand information I can here.

    Newfoundland Moose

    I am booked with Moose Valley Outfitters, they came very highly recommended over on Bowsite. I believe I took his last availability for 2026 and he was filling up for 2027. It is a fly in hunt as well but would be worth looking into.

    New Mexico Javalina

    I am looking into trying to draw a tag as well as the OTC hunt. I would really like to hunt 29,30 so I can scout for a hopeful aoudad hunt at the same time. If anyone feels like sharing some tips or pointers I wouldn't be upset.

    FNG from OK

    I’m just glad you use that line instead of some of the others from the scene 😂. If you don’t like that movie you probably suck

    Youth broad head recommendation?

    Yes my daughter shoots around 30# and uses the Viper Trick and G5 Striker. Both have proven they work with her set up.

    Private Land Archery Elk Guides Recs

    I just looked them up based on another recommendation and it was $9k for archery and $8500 for rifle. In the scheme of things not bad considering the quality and being private land.

    Private Land Archery Elk Guides Recs

    Yup and he is active on the forum as well. Another one that I spoke with and actually booked a cow hunt with this year is Jokers Wild. He had a handful of reviews and they are all 4 and 5 star. The only problem I have is I find these good outfits on there and end up spending money 😂

    2025 Montana Elk Outfitters & Guides Recommendations

    Lots of good information in this thread tagging for later. As far as not getting a shot on a high dollar hunt this is something my buddy and I discuss in length. I personally book the guide for their experience and equipment, I’m not running out and buying all the stuff and horses for a back...
