    Idaho Elk

    Thanks so much for your response and sharing your experience. Unfortunately I had to change plans due to work issues. I’ll be hunting close to home in the Panhandle. From what I understand the hunting pressure is pretty heavy. I’m looking at a couple spots that appear to get hit a little less...

    I like it here. Real estate is expensive. Shoshone county govt is typical big fish in small pond attitude. Locals are nice down to earth people. You work in the mining industry?

    Max point blank range for elk

    Hey thank you for posting your response. It was extremely helpful as it helped me determine where my error was. I have never owned any rifle in any chambering that even came close to what I was seeing. After running calcs on the Hornady app, when I scrolled the table, I was not seeing that I...

    Max point blank range for elk

    Thanks for your response. May I ask what calculator you are using? Being able to enter target size isn’t an option on the Hornady calculator. Looks pretty handy.

    Horse lease

    Thanks for the info. Leased in other areas of MT and ID before so understand the legalities that need to be followed. I was not clear about the trailering- I would not be pulling the trailer, they would be delivering to me at the hunt area.

    Max point blank range for elk

    Calculating max point blank hold zero yardage to ensure vital area hit. Load I’m working with is 300 PRC 212 gr ELDx zeroed at 385yds. Max abov/below zero of 6” out to 600yds as per Hornady ballistics calculator. If we consider 1 moa group sizes, 600 yard shot could be max of 12 “ low. If...

    Horse lease

    Looking to lease a horse for elk hunting first part of Nov. Anyone know of ranch/outfitter on the Stanley/Lowman area? Found a few reputable places but the cost to trailer from their place to hunting area is cost prohibitive. Thanks in advance.

    Idaho Elk

    Thank you for the advice. OnX has a fire activity map layer that I use to monitor fire activity. Dumb question- if there’s a fire in an area say Late August-Sept timeframe, will elk start using the area again that fall? I assume no unless it’s an area that has some very unique feature that...
