I currently own a Howa 270 but am interested in something a little bigger. I am thinking either 7 mag or a 300 win mag to give me a little bit more punch for an elk out at up to around 400 yards, which is the farthest that I would feel comfortable shooting. These two seem to be pretty similar...
I wanted to pass along a warning to anybody who is looking at purchasing Leupold Rangefinders. It is important to note that the Leupold warranty for rangefinders is different than the warranty on all of their other products. Apparently the warranty is only 2 years since that is considered...
Working up a load for my 270 and would like to go with a mono-metal bullet. I have shot Barnes in the past but have heard good things about Hammer bullets. I am wondering if anybody would share personal experiences with Hammer Bullets specifically the performance on animals. I saw that the...
With most of the seasons having finished up, I was wondering if anybody had the opportunity to field test one of the new Mystery Ranch Pop Up packs? I am considering purchasing one of the packs and was wondering how they performed in the field. Thanks!
I am looking to upgrade my scope and like these two. Does anybody have any experience with either of these two scopes? Any recommendations? They both have the magnification that I am looking for, from what I have seen they are the same price, and when I couldn't tell a difference between them...
Does anybody have knowledge of unit 35 or 36? I don't want honey holes or any personal information, but I am considering hunting that unit and have gotten conflicting information. I have heard it is a good unit for a guy who is hunting for opportunity and I have heard that CWD had a big impact...

Has anybody else seen this new show on Sportsman's Channel? Seems to be along the same lines as OYOA, a Colorado guy who does fair chase, public land hunting. Out of the few shows I have seen, the host has logged a bunch of miles and has gotten shut out a few times.
I have hunted twice in the past, once using a regular backpack and once using a more hunting specific pack. I know one guy that uses a fanny pack type. What are your thoughts on doing that? I appreciate any input that more experienced guys might have.
Anybody ever hunt the Greenhorns in Southern Colorado? I am about to hunt there for the first time. I have a first season elk tag for 861 and a second season deer tag for the whole area.
Can anybody help me out? I am a new elk hunter and could use some advice on what type of terrain to look for when I scout my area. I am going to be hunting the 1st rifle season in southern colorado. There have been a couple of fires in the area both this summer and last and I have heard that...
