What size holes in your grinding plate you use?
Bumping this back up to stimulate discussion. Bought a second hand LEM #8 big bite and put some of my Mule deer through it. Added 20 % Beef fat by weight. (think this was too much) First Grind 10 mm, second grind 4.5 mm. Seemed a little too fine and pink rather than red with white specks...- 2rocky

Minimum Elk Caliber. what do you think it is.
whatever delivers a lethal and legal projectile at 2000 fps and 1500 ft lbs of energy at the distance required. Should be pretty easy for Chat GPT to develop a list of calibers, loads and ranges that meet that threshold. Or if you find a chart that you can paste into Excel and do a pivot... -

7MM-08, max range for deer/elk?
Maintaining enough velocity at distance is going to be the limiting factor. According to a quick search 2000 fps is the cutoff for adequate expansion. Since I shoot copper from Hornady, 400 yards is where the speed drops to 2076 with the 139 grain CX from their factory 7mm-08 Superformance... -
Recovering from an awful hunting season
Read up on target panic. Bernie Pellerite has a good discussion of it in his book Idiot Proof Archery. Sounds like you get lots of shooting opportunities during your season. See what you can do to get more game/non-game shooting opportunities in the off season. Pests like pigeons, prarie...- 2rocky

Nevada elk odds
The point squaring makes everyone's odd's "Bad"....Lower point holders are just more bad. Kinda like a fair divorce; both parties feel equally screwed. There are still more opportunities for folks to hunt Elk in Nevada than there were 30 years ago. Sorry that it isn't a secret about how good... -
