Any decent guide is probably booked. Scott Limmer is one who has favorable reviews. $5k to look at ropes on private. $1k more to take a rope home. No one guides rifle deer on public land in those units and there’s a reason.

For what I've described, do you have any opinions on the classic stock vs. prairie hunter? Is the standard recoil pad...
I bought a browning x-bolt stainless stalker in 270 WSM last year. I'm left eye dominant but have always shot right handed rifles (left eye behind the glass) with no problem. Killed a bunch of animals with an older right handed A bolt in 300WM. The problem is, I didn't realize the x-bolt has...
