    HuntTalk's Deer of the Year thread

    Well I will try to post this pic. I shot this one in the Fall of 03'. My first ever 4 point muley and he was shot at approximately 70 yards with a TC Firehawk in .54 caliber. The pictures from this fall were too dark to look good. Shot him right at dusk. Firehawk

    300 Gr. SST or XTP Mag for elk?

    I have shot a lot with the SST in 300 grain this year and am very pleased with its accuracy and flat trajectory. I shot all the way through an approximately 10" thick Aspen tree trunk that had fallen over near our deer camp. I never found that bullet. Seems to have plenty of penetration...

    Elk 1, Fire Hawk 0

    Thanks Moosie, Have you ever thought of becoming a cheerleader? That was great! I am totally revved up and ready to go again. Thanks again for the pep talk. I need all the help I can get. Now are you sure you want my gun? It is a new Knight Wolverine 209 in Stainless Black configuration...

    Elk 1, Fire Hawk 0

    Well yesterday I spent another 8 hours in pursuit of the wiley cow elk. I saw a few moose, a lot of mule deer(one really nice buck), a lot of elk tracks, but mostly signs saying "No Trespassing" or the like. I have found where some elk have been frequenting, but with so much private in the...

    Elk 1, Fire Hawk 0

    Well the first day of my month long antlerless elk hunt has started. I looked long and hard and never found an elk on my hunting unit. I did see about 500 head across the street from my unit sitting in the sagebrush flats of Deseret Land & Livestock property. There were some real toads on the...

    You call this FUN!!!!?

    1 pointer, I tried to send you a PM, but it may have accidently been sent to Elk Hunter the Administrator. Let me know and I will send it again. Thanks for the encouragement guys. The hunt is a lot more fun today, now that the muscles have healed a little bit more. I still think that one...

    You call this FUN!!!!?

    Well after hunting with friends and on my own for years for an elk I was finally present for an elk kill. I helped guide my buddy to a large cow elk on Saturday. WOW! The morning started out like any other hunt that I had ventured out on. We left early and hiked the 3-4 miles into the...

    Deer down! Now it is time to concentrate on my Antlerless Elk hunt.

    I finished my Muzzleloader deer hunt in Northern Utah by the evening of the second day. I took a nice fat little four point (my first four point buck) with a 260 Nosler Partition and 90 grains of Pyrodex RS. I shot him at about 50 yards with an offhand shot. I was able to stillhunt right...

    I drew Antlerless Elk tag!!!!

    I will be shooting a TC Fire Hawk in .54 caliber shooting 110 grains of RS and a 535 grain No Excuses conical. This is a very accurate combination and I am very confident with it out to at least 125 yards. I consistently practice out to 150 yards and can cover my groups with my hand. I might...

    I drew Antlerless Elk tag!!!!

    Well the letter arrived today. I drew the Muzzleloader Cow Elk tag I mentioned earlier in the post. The hunt runs from Nov 29- Dec 31. I will be hunting the Rich County side of the Monte Cristo and Cache ranges. North of Hwy 39 and South of Hwy 89 up Logan Canyon but ONLY on the Rich County...

    I drew Antlerless Elk tag!!!!

    Thanks for all the encouragement. Here it is several days later and I still don't know which unit I drew. I have a feeling that I drew the Muzzleloader tag that I mentioned. I actually didn't mean to have that as my first choice, but I knew that the odds of drawing were high. We aren't...

    I drew Antlerless Elk tag!!!!

    I know that I have drawn a tag. Which one I applied for, I have no idea as of yet. All I know is that the credit card has been charged for the elk tag. I have applied for a Muzzleloader only tag on the back side of Monte Cristo that I am sure I drew. It is a late season permit so I could be...

    Hornady SST

    I bought some 7mm 139 grain SSTs for my 7mm08 and I couldn't get them to shoot at all. I finally gave up on them. I will still try them in my 7mag to see how they do. They are a very sleek bullet that have the interlock ring in them. They should penetrate about the same as the regular Hornady...

    Paunsaugunt Deer Tag

    You are a lucky dog. The Paunsagaunt tag is still a very coveted tag by everyone I know. I have never personally hunted it so I can't be of much help. I just wanted to express my congratulations. Let's pray for a lot of moisture during the green up time so the antlers can grow to full...
