Youth Recoil (at a minimum) Rifle for big game
Thank you so much for the overwhelming responses! A lot of great advice in this thread. At this point I feel I am being swayed to the 7-08 over the 243. But I do have another question: out of the 243, 6.5, 7-08 which one has the superior ballistic coefficient? Or are they all pretty... -

Youth Recoil (at a minimum) Rifle for big game
I should say that I am open to other calibers. But the more “mainstream “ the caliber the better for ammo reasons. I can reload, but would prefer not to. Too much recoil will lead to poor trigger control in my opinion. So that is my biggest concern. -

Youth Recoil (at a minimum) Rifle for big game

Anyone willing to help me with google maps to find elk?
I'll pay for onx if that what I need to do. This is all public land area I'm hunting in. My local fish and game guy told me there are a lot of elk and a lot of hunters in this area, so I really need to find those spots off the beaten path. -

Mapping out Elk locations ahead of time
YES! The different phases of the season would be such a great help too! Great now I'm going to be obsessed with the video until it's done. No pressure though... :D G/L with your hunts -

Mapping out Elk locations ahead of time
On a recent podcast with Randy on Meateater they were talking about how Randy can get a map, pick out the 8 most likely locations for elk on public land then go get them. When I asked him about it he said to look at this forum. So I can't find the topic on the search (sorry if I missed it) but...
