    Antelope Age Question- Picture of teeth

    Wyoming antelope from this year. I looked at the aging information that was posted earlier this year, and I'm still having troubles figuring out if all the front teeth are adult teeth, or if the back ones are still baby teeth. Can someone provide an age ? It didn't have an overly big body...

    Cavity in Elk Irory

    I shot a cow elk a few years ago and she had a cavity in one of her ivories. The bottom teeth were sent in for testing by WYGF and she was aged at 8.5 years old. I'm a novice elk hunter and have only shot a couple, so I don't have much experience with elk ivories. Anybody else find...

    Non Lead Rifle Ammo Experience Question- fragments in meat?

    For those of you who use Barnes, Hornady GMX, Federal Trophy Copper or Nosler E-Tips; do you have issues with finding broken off petals, in the meat? I bought some .270 win and 7MM Rem mag ammo to try this year (loaded with the mentioned bullets) and I'm curious as to what everyone has...

    Storage Life of Factory Ammo

    I don't reload and use factory ammo in all my guns. How long does standard factory ammo last on the shelf when stored in my house, assuming dry conditions (30%-50% rel humidity) at room temp? I have some ammo that is pushing 15 years old, and I'm not sure if it loses velocity, or if primers...

    Hunting Ruffed Grouse with my German Short Hair Pointers

    Went hunting last Saturday in MN on some public land with my 13 year old GSP. She and her younger counterpart did well and we flushed 4 birds in about 3hrs of hunting. Should have brought home 2, but whiffed on an easy shot as I almost stepped on one that the dogs didn't smell, and about...

    Eating Elk, Backstraps or Round Steaks ?

    Hello Everyone, Question for all of you elk eaters out there. I don't have much experience with elk and have only shot two, both cows. The elk I shot this year was an adult cow, probably 3.5 or 4.5 old based on her body size in comparison to the rest of the group- big but not quite the...

    How Many Shots?

    Hello Everyone- Question. After cleaning your barrel with a copper remover, how many shots does it take before your gun gets back to settling in and grouping well? My new Tikka seems to settle back in after 4 shots and I have a friend who shoots long range (targets) and he said his gun starts...

    Cow Elk to 350 yards- which bullet to use.....

    My wife drew a cow elk tag for Wyoming. She is probably going to be shooting a .270 Win. We don't hand load and only shoot factory ammo. If both rounds shot basically the same size group out of your gun, would you shoot cow elk with a 130GR Accubond, or a 150GR partition ?

    Wyoming Elk Brucellosis Test / Cow Elk

    I have a cow tag for Elk area 39 in Wyoming and just received my Brucellosis sample kit. First time I've received one of these. If I manage to kill a cow, any suggestions on how to gather a usable sample? Didn't know if pointing the cow downhill and cutting the neck artery would work, or what...
