    7mm mag Tikka T3x lite SS LH

    I have a Tikka t3x lite left handed stainless in 7mm rem mag. Less than 25 rounds through it. Comes with Warne rings, a full box of 160 grain Nosler accubonds, and a nikon 3x9x40 bdc scope, prostaff I believe. 650 without scope 700 with. Rings and ammo come with for 650 and 700.

    Vortex TTSX, if only.

    Another interesting point I had in my notes is that as the barrel would heat up and foul the barnes would shoot tighter.

    Vortex TTSX, if only.

    I was thinking about just doing it with the TTSX since even with the throw away shots they were still minute of elk past 200 yards.

    I went out today and sighted in my rifles. A 270 win and 7mm Rem. My 270 really liked its new factory swift scirocco2 130s. My 7mm mag, which shoots 150 core lokts well, did not care for the 150 ttsx. I really wish it didm. As I do like the ammo. But it would shoot two close only to throw...

    Success = Meat in the freezer!

    Went out hunting this morning. About 8,000 feet up. Was trying for a cow elk, but the animals were late up the drainage. We saw a decent forky buck, but his body was not that big and some does moving up the drainage. After seeing them we ran up the clearing and sat by some pine trees. We...

    Might hang up the bow

    No problem John. My skin is not too thin :) . Sometimes I need that kick in rear end. I am going to try and get out Thursday morning to hunt. I might head back to this spot as it seems talking to the local hunter that the area I was in holds Elk consistently from year to year until the snow...

    So today I had some fun. I only hiked in about a mile. The least I have hiked all year for a hunt. The area seemed good even though it was in an area known for substantial human presence. I hunt until about 830am and all was quite. I was starting my walk back to the truck to find another...

    Thanks for the advice guys! I did some fishing and took a little hunting break and the ambition to get back out is in me again. Heading out tomorrow with new vigour. I think I just needed a little rest to push the negativity out.

    It is funny how one gets attuned to a species. This is my first western elk hunting year. Being from the midwest and hunting whitetail like crazy even out here I can pick out whitetail habitat and trails like nothing. I could have filled my deer tag with a whitetail many times over. Elk are...

    I went fishing today and had some success. I will be heading back out Sunday. Still being Non res I am not going to get a black bear tag yet. This spring I will. However, I do have a big blackie pinned down. He hangs out in the same area. Maybe he will stay until spring and I can get him...

    I have had a tough archery season. I have either been running into people, bears, or whitetails. Not much elk. I am having higher hopes for rifle season. With only a day at a time to hunt I have found it too difficult to pattern elk.
