    How to find a reputable outfitter and get a tag for that hunt?

    Good input. It is frustrating that finding a good outfitter has become a crap shoot with so many that don't provide a quality experience. Always good to get good references.

    First Time/Last Time Trips

    took a buddy to Montana who doesn't listen very well. We took him to a place to sit for the morning hunt and told him to get up at first light and slowly still hunt down until it dropped off and then turn right and cut the road where he should sit and we would come find him.....He went left...

    2024 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE

    The guys that are apologizing for small meat elk should realize every elk is a trophy. Enjoy the accomplishment and the meat. Elk hunting is a tough sport.

    Reflections on 2024 Elk Hunt

    Elk walk way faster than you do so the previous advice of high spot and glassing is the best strategy.

    Why are bullets frequently found just under the hide on the opposite side?

    Depending on the animal, take Elk for example think about how much body, bone, etc the bullet has to travel through losing energy. It also has to do with distance. You shoot something inside 150 yds I rarely find the bullet. 300 plus, almost always.

    Trophy Elk: What's it to YOU

    one 353 bull after 30yrs of hunting. But to be fair I hunted a "non Trophy" public land area in MT for 25 + of those years. I always was fortunate to shoot a bull but nothing measure worthy. I am a big fan of Elk hunting and Elk meat so score hasn't really driven me. I finished my "special...

    Front Porch Elk Calling

    I switch off between rattling my wife's visa cards together or her purses and she comes running every time. Much like the Elk rut it only works for a short period every year. :ROFLMAO:

    Trophy Elk: What's it to YOU

    Any dead bull on public land is a trophy in my opinion. They are tough animals to hunt with all the variables. If I am paying for a "Trophy Elk hunt", I would expect 330 plus opportunities.

    Shot groupings

    practice, practice, practice. Alot has to do with the caliber of your rifle and drop as to what distance you should limit yourself to. From what you said you should be ok out to 300 depending on circumstances. Don't take marginal shots as Elk are tough sons-o-bitches. They are not afraid...

    Two Lucky young hunters. 24 shots to stop a grizzly attack!

    It is easy to criticize his marksmanship sitting at a computer rather than feet from a mad 530 lb Grizzly. I am betting even the best shot gets a little shaky in that situation. I am sure the Bear wasn't standing still. Bear dead, Friend alive. I would call that a success after I changed my...

    First Wyoming elk hunt….projectile selection

    shot placement, accuracy kills Elk, not bullet size. Pick the round that you shoot best and groups the best. Don't overthink it.

    Am I looking for a unicorn?

    First of all TV, internet have made everyone think 300 inch bulls walk around everywhere on the hoof. They are there but they are not the common bull you will see on normal elk tags. 300 inch is very doable depending on your price limit. If you want high success it is a LO tag or private ranch...
