    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    I left out that the people I'm hunting with and I will have bear spray, and I understand that an encounter is highly unlikely. I was a Police Officer before a Gunsmith. I had OC spray and a taser as well as a pistol; I didn't want to use either but carried all. I view the bear spray, pistol, and...

    New Bolt Action Rifle Recommendations

    Tikka, or if you can stretch a little more, I'd go with a Benelli Lupo. There's a Walnut model with the BE.S.T. finish- a very accurate rifle that looks great- and you don't have to worry about rust.

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    I'm currently working up the load I'll be hunting with this fall in Wyoming for bull elk. I am trying some loads with 180gr Barnes TTSX, as I've had great luck in the past with other rifles(this year I'll be shooting a Benelli Lupo chambered in 300 Win Mag), and the thought of having to use the...

    Cow elk rifle

    If everything is equal between the rifles (weight, accuracy, your confidence), I'd take the 280AI but take whatever you shoot the best.

    Wyoming unit 71

    Thanks for your input. I’ll attempt to keep my wife from seeing this article, but in all seriousness I understand it’s a grizzly area, and don’t plan on being absent minded of them if I hunt that area but it won’t be my first time in and hunting in a grizzly infested area. I have been in that...

    Wyoming unit 71

    Thinking of burning some points next season. I have a buddy who is a Wyoming resident who I’ll be hunting with. One of the units suggested I try to draw is 71, I have the points so I should be able to get it. I’m wanting to rifle hunt and wondering if my assumptions that hunting it at the...

    Eastern black bears

    I will be solo as well. I'm heading back this weekend to do some more scouting. I found some sign a couple weeks ago but was not as fresh I would have liked to find.
