    Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024

    I will be using a tikka 270 wsm and Barnes tsx bullet. The rifle is 14 years old and I changed ammo from accubonds due to using all my reloads and not finding 140 gr bullets in stock the past couple years.

    Neck shots.

    I’ve shot 3 elk and 6 deer with neck shots. I had a really bad case as a teen. This practice caused me to miss a lot of animals until becoming an adult. I didn’t completely stop with neck shots, but all have been under 150 yards. Learning how to shoot in the military with open sights definitely...

    Arbitrary Hunting Goals

    I have a variety of random goals: Draw/hunt Big 3 in ID in the same unit. Sheep has been the one I’m concentrating on first, since 2013. Moose would be second, goat last. Shoot a 4 pt Mule deer in as a many OTC units south of the Clearwater river as I can. Long way to go 🤣 Hunt as many units...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I think the proposal would be a step in the right direction. Habitat based on Regions needs for the enhancement of mule deer should be included. Obviously this would need to be coordinated with the feds and/or State trust lands. I would say it would be Region dependent/authorized, but if after...

    10 must have apps for outdoor enthusiasts

    I like Windy an app that shows you wind and weather. It zooms in very well for canyons, ridges, and mountains. It helps me with planning routes for archery or rifle hunting.

    Idaho M/S/G ‘24

    Over halfway through the application period. Who is in or plans to be? I applied today for my yearly Sheep tag. This is my first time paying as a nonresident, with my hope that with me paying more, I’ll draw it within the next 3 years. 😂 Good luck to those going after their OIL in Idaho. My...

    How long did it take for your first elk?

    It was my 3rd year elk hunting, first permit I drew. I applied with my best friend and I put in on the opposite side of the unit. His family gave me crap for not picking the side they have been hunting for 50 years. We scouted a few times in August, finding a few spots, while hoping the elk...

    Who bought this?

    I’ll auction off a hunt with butter bar LTs from each of the 5 military branches. Each one gets a hard copy map. The lucky hunter can sit in one spot, preferably above a saddle or on a hilltop, while the experts land nav and split up trying to find their predetermined coordinate locations...

    Deer, Elk, Antelope Same Unit….

    Thanks for the info guys. I plan on hunting OTC for deer and elk if I don’t draw LQ tags. With mule deer on the decline, I don’t plan on hunting mule deer doe. I will try and get WT doe tags for hunting. With what I’ve found so far it looks like I can hold 3 different tags for deer and elk...
