I think I replied to your post on the general thread instead of directly to you.
I keep looking at this picture and it is remarkable how similar these bulls are! Mine is a typical 5 point on the “normal” side and 3 points with no brow tone on the side coming out of his forehead. I agree that...
That is so interesting! I wondered if it might be generic!
It was taken in Routt National forest.
Thanks for the tip on not posting units or specific areas. I tend to not be very secretive but I did see how difficult it was to find and learn an area to hunt. I went to 4 units before settling...
I appreciate it! I am absolutely thrilled! I’ll humbly admit that it took me 5 hours to skin and quarter him and fill the meat bags with boneless. Then I spent another 2 hours deboning the quarters after I found out I couldn’t bring elk bones into Tenneseee. Man, that’s a lot of work! It didn’t...
Hello everyone! I promised to follow up after my hunt. This was my first elk hunt (or any species hunt out west). We hunted DIY in NW Colorado. It took 5 days to figure out the unit and how the elk moved but it worked! I had a blast and it was a successful hunt. Thanks to you all for your help...
Thanks for posting! I have a cooper mountain 30 nos that is incredibly light weight. I haven’t shot it yet and I likely won’t until I get a brake on it. How does the recoil on your 30 nos compared to a typical hunting 30-06 or 308? I’m not scared of recoil but here in the East I’ve never needed...
Hahaha, I’ll join you in that dance! I don’t mind being uncomfortable but I love it when the game is up and about! Having a buck tag in November always makes me happy. They do tend to move around during the day more than they like. I hope you get a monster!
I’ve been hearing more and more of that! I shoot well out to 800 with my .308, but I’m an eastern hunter and have never shot game farther than 180, so I’m reluctant to take a shot at an elk farther than 350. If I’m confident and have a good set up at 400, I’ll consider it but certainly not...
Obviously! I’m using nato elk seekers. It will o Ly seek legal bulls out to 6 miles and send the gps coordinates to my phone so I can find it. I want the upgraded rounds that will quarter, bag and hang the meat, but I’ll save up for next season
Thank you so much for the offer! I would take you up on that but from these suggestions I’ve found and bought enough to last a few years.
You guys are great!
