Idea for Youtube series
I get that but - I wouldn't know the difference between Gernium viscossium and a Geranium you buy at Walmart for Christmas. In my view, the point of the series would be to identify some common elk foods, maybe from the list/tables found in the Jack Ward Thomas book. For example, I'd bet not...- Plagioclase

Idea for Youtube series
Not sure if this is the right place but if not let me know and I'll move it. How about a Youtube series based on elk food during Sept to Nov? After buying and reading the Jack Ward Thomas book, I did searches in the various tables/lists of preferred foods. I wish i could have something other...- Plagioclase

Very well done! The only problem now is the addiction to western hunting is now primed. It's like crack.....- Plagioclase

EOY - What Equipment Worked, What Didn't?
Had ALL of my stuff stolen in 2017 while headed to Montana for a rifle elk hunt - so I've spent the past year trying a bunch of new gear. I basically acquired a zero interest credit card with an 18 month grace period and bought/tried everything and anything I always wanted to try. With an...- Plagioclase

NEWB Heading to CO GMU 12 1st Rifle
I've hunted GMU12 in first season. Very likely to be a zoo. A few trailheads exist in 12 and most will be packed with vehicles. I ran into people as far back in as 5 miles. My advice is to hunt at least half mile off trail, 1 mile better, and stay away from any meadow or opening in that...- Plagioclase

Nosler Accubond 140 grain 7mm RM vs Pronghorn
My exact experience with the 140 Accubond out of my 7 WSM. I shot 2 deer at less than 100 yards. Neither bullet exited but damage was massive and gruesome. I literally cut the near shoulder off with my knife - nothing holding it on but skin. I quit using them in that gun. Changed to 160...- Plagioclase

Who here uses trekking poles?
I use them on most hunts involving a lot of hiking. Hiking to my WT tree stand doesn't require them but about everything else does. I find them very useful on both uphill and downhill. I'd also suggest buying a good set. I've been running Leki for a few years. The thing about Leki is the...- Plagioclase

2 gun do-all battery suggestions?
I've owned most of the cartridges you listed in the Kimber Montana configuration. Light rifles are a dream to carry in the mountains and can be shot effectively from field positions. My only caution is to think about recoil of the bigger offerings in the Montana rifle. I bought one of the...- Plagioclase

.300 Wby Mag Loads for Elk
Partitions - either 180 or 200. I use 180's in my WSM and have used them in various won mags, and a saum. They work great.- Plagioclase

Elk Bullets
Nosler, preferably Partitions but did kill 2 with Accubonds from my 30 SAUM. Pretty hard to beat Partitions for about any application.- Plagioclase
