    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Saw the browning suggestions browsing around too. Also can’t remember the name but Sig has a .308 AR-10 style that would be sweet to build out. But then I’d just feel like I’m moving away from hunting guns to combat arms lol. I just gotta keep telling myself the vanguard will get the job done...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Yeah I’ve been looking at 16” .308s just for fun lol. I’d definitely want the option to go out to 3-400 yards. I was looking at M1A variants last night, not buying anything any time soon but just having fun with my imagination. It’d be fun to take something like that hog hunting or coyote...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    I was looking at 45/70 lever actions tbh. I’m a dreamer so I’m trying to picture an all around rifle but have to keep telling myself it doesn’t exist haha. Would like a 0.308 semi for a multi purpose gun (hunting, defense, target shooting) but I suppose I should keep my .30-06 bolt action around...

    Tips for Whitetail Care

    Went out with a group first rifle season for Elk saw nothing. Everyone else is calling it a year but I'd like to try my hand at whitetail to have something to show for the season and to get some more practice hunting. My only worries are that I've never dressed big game before and live in an...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Thanks for the advice, I would like to get better at all forms of hunting, just more tools for my toolbelt. Wish I was prepared for more than just elk this season, I think I'm gonna snag a leftover tag for deer and try my luck with that the next two weekends, I should be able to handle a deer by...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Yeah you guys have talked me out of spending impulsively but at the same time I still want to do more research for a more fun gun in the future. It would be nice to bag something with my grandpas Weatherby first though. We did a lot of escouting and some boots on the ground scouting prior to...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Getting a lot of solid advice, just wish I could put it to use right now haha. How do you guys scratch the itch until next year? I might just try to get some small game in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Appreciate everyone’s input, I had my scope down to 3x, I guess it was more of an issue of how fast I’d be able to scope in and take a shot and was looking for something more ergonomic and faster to have a follow up shot. But tbh I should just focus on being a better hunter and not spooking...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    No offense taken at all, I’m just a little butthurt after all the money spent and time invested [emoji23]. I just have more of a desire to get one now and am just thinking of what I can do to increase my chances. I wouldn’t be shooting at moving targets for the first shot ideally, but follow ups...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Is it douchey to even build an AR for hunting? I never see them out in the field and like the look of traditional hunting rifles but couldn’t I custom build one at a proper caliber, semi auto for follow up shots, and a red dot with a magnifier in case I have to take a 300 yard shot? Just...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Just got back from my first elk hunt in CO unit 161. Didn't get lucky, started by setting up in a small wet grass patch surrounded by timber, heard a bunch of shots over in Buffalo Ridge area then our group spent a lot of time looking over large meadows. I realized a bit too late we probably did...

    Packers Near North Park CO?

    Yes for packing out game, sorry I made it unclear. But that’s good to know I didn’t even know licenses were required for something like that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Packers Near North Park CO?

    Yeah sorry I edited it, I was curious about both but then remembered I passed a couple of processors on the way there and I really wanted to focus more on packing it out. I’m ok with packing it myself but the group wants to look into llamas mules etc. Searching “packers near Walden” hasn’t...

    Packers Near North Park CO?

    Headed out for first rifle later this week. My group was wondering if there were any packers close to Unit 161? I know it should be a simple google search but everything I find seems to be hours away. I could start looking at WY too I guess, I assume that would be legal? We aren't far from the...
