    Wyoming Elk Hunts - Regions/Guides

    This is just my opinion, but I would go for Colorado. There's a ton of available tags and you don't have to deal with the grizzlies. You can still buy points for Wyoming, so someday you'll get that tag. But with Colorado you'll have a better chance of getting out west and getting your feet wet...

    What's the most valuable thing you have found hunting?

    Dad and I found a calvary bell from Custer's expedition, it's on display in the Cody museum now.

    Howa 1500 Build

    I can help, I was with Weatherby for a number of years. This is doable, its not the easiest gun to make but you can do it. First, removing the barrel. I've never seen a barrel torqued so much. I've seen spiral flutes straightened haha. Easiest way to do it is cut the barrel off about 1/2" in...

    Wyoming What Are You Doing?

    Yeah I didn't say it was ALL eastern hunters, don't be so hurt. For data, start by looking at hit percentages at NRL Hunter matches in the eastern US vs western matches, you'll see lower percentages, I have a spreadsheet I could send you. Then, find any county road in Wyoming during hunting...

    Budget rifle suggestions.

    I shoot a lot of NRL Hunter matches, the rifle that ends up on the podium every single weekend is the Seekins PH3. I havent bought a factory gun in awhile but I am considering buying one of those. Also, dont get hung up on a CF barrel, I shot Proof barrels for two NRL seasons and they can be...

    Help me decide on Bear/Deer rifle please?

    You want the 6.5 Creed, Any one of those rifles will be fine, but you want the Creed. The PRC is magnum bolt face, you're running more powder, harder to find brass or ammo, large rifle magnum primers are non-existent. I shot my black bear last year with a 25 Creed, 134 ELD match bullet and he...

    Wyoming What Are You Doing?

    We've been having a TON of wounded animals the last couple years. Mainly eastern and midwest hunters (I'm not saying all) come out, never shot in the wind, never shot angles and most importantly never practice at distance. Its a problem. I put on a couple shooting clinics for Outfitters around...

    WY fly fishing- north or south

    I'd go south, I caught way more fish when I lived in Laramie than I do now. Depending on what area you drew for goats, you might be close to miracle mile on the Platte. Every cast is a bite.

    Wyoming

    That's correct. You'll get your refund and then be eligible for your preference point. Weird you didnt draw, what area did you put in for?

    Model 70 FWT Compact: 7mm-08 or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I would strongly recommend the 6.5 Creed, 7mm-08 is rapidly losing popularity and ammo is going to get scarce. A couple guys at Hornady necked a 6.5 Creed up to .284 and that was pretty cool but that's a ton of wildcat work haha. You cant go wrong with the 6.5. One more thing is that you can...

    Serial Lurker turned member—NRL Hunter Q&A

    Afternoon folks, My intention with joining Rokslide was originally to just sell a whole bunch of brass I don’t need, but over the course of a week and doing a lot of thinking, I decided to try and offer some guidance, advice & insight. I have been in the outdoors industry for a number of...

    Elk with a collar?

    Make sure you return it to the Game & Fish regional office, there's a map on the website. You can also give it to a Game Warden or Biologist if you see them out and about.
