Pray for snow. If not, they’ll be scattered from top to bottom, and quality bucks will be difficult to find. If it snows hold out for a good buck. If it doesn’t I personally wouldn’t pass a 180” class deer.
To each their own. After years of many successful elk hunts, I see nothing wrong with chasing horns. Those horns still come attached to a bunch of meat. I’ve killed a pile of elk, and been there for dozens of other kills (friends and family). This year I was patient, and was content going home...
I’ve been hunting elk for 25 years, and I’ve successfully managed to take 4 bulls in that time. This year I was finally arrow my biggest bull ever. It’s been a long road. My first bull was a low 200s 4x4 rag horn, second bull was a 325” 6x7 bull, and both were with a rifle. My 3rd bull was a...
7saum, 4831sc powder, 175 eldx, Norma brass, and wlrm primer. 1/2 moa out to a mile, with my tikka action, 26” proof barrel, .25” free bore, and McMillan stock. 757 yards this February with a 20 mph crosswind. One shot and dropped.

I landed on the same conclusion. I just picked up a cz 457 mtr. I’m topping it with an area 419 30 moa rail, seekins rings, and a Burris xtr ii 5-25 mil scope. Also running an atlas bipod, atlas bipod rail, yodave trigger spring, and area 419 bolt knob. It’s not all put together yet, as I just...
Even with the same exact bullet, you can get varying measurements if the bullets are from different lots. For example: I was reloading 250 7 saum rounds this weekend. I load these at .025” off the lands. My comparator tool gives me a base to ogive measurement of 2.4400”. After the first 100...
I heard they’re going to conduct the draw on a day that ends in day. If anyone wants to know the exact time, wait until your credit card is hit, then run to the nearest clock and check the time. 👍👍
