I'm a huge fan of the 300 WSM for many years. Has better ballistics for long range shooting over the 300wm. I like the short action of the rifle. Allows a shorter barrel making it lighter and a great western big game rifle. Ammunition a little more difficult to find and more expensive. 300...
Not to confuse things. I’d look at the 300 Winchester short mag. This is a much better round than the 300 Winchester mag. If you compare the ballistics of the 300 mag versus the 300 short mag, the 300 short mag crushes it. It also comes in a shorter action so you can get it with shorter barrels...
Public land. Agree on the screaming issue. In the area I’m in they are screaming first day I’m there. So might be good idea to see what first season like.
Wanted to get people's opinion on archery, brown bear hunting in Alaska. I've done a fair bit of internet search. Have been to a couple conventions looking at different outfitters. Obviously expensive hunt. Hard to know if you are making the right decision. Anyone have input on good outfitters...
I've been on a few archery elk hunts in New Mexico. I've always gone the 2nd season. It's a DIY hunt. Each trip I have gotten plenty of opportunities, however finding the monster is much more challenging, obviously. In the area I hunt they are screaming from the first day of the hunt. Call in...
All the rifle seasons are awesome. Find some places where you can see distances and just glass. Have a good time!

Thanks. Most helpful. 2nd season they are always screaming but hard to get them to come to calls except for little bulls
I know you are thinking a dirt bike. Have you ever looked into the electric bikes for hunting. Great for scouting and hunting. Totally quiet. Great off road capability. Newer versions have an incredible distance between charges. Backcou and QuietKat are great ones.
I’ve hunted the second archery elk season (NM Unit 34) a few times. Seem like the bulls already have cows. I’m thinking about switching it up. Does anyone here have any thoughts on 1st vs 2nd season in NM Unit 34.
