Looking to replace the stock on Richland Arms SxS 20 GA and I can not find one anywhere online. From what I gather this gun was made in Spain by Zabala Hermanos and that it is a fairly inexpensive gun. Anyone have a suggestion on getting a new stock for it? Mostly need the butt stock. The forend...
Girlfriend should be pulling a unit 24 muzzy tag this year. Main question I have is what to shoot it with. I have never been in love with muzzleloaders but I want her to have a good rut experience and she doesn't bowhunt. Any thoughts/ideas/feedback would be great in regards to loads or the hunt...
Which has the bigger impact on elk? Currently on our way back to WI from MT. Seems there wasn't much recent elk activity up high, everything was fairly low, under 7000. So, being fairly inexperienced at elk hunting, does the dry conditions move elk lower sooner or dry with a combination of...
My buddy and I were out in the Lemhi zone in September and got our butts kicked with our bows. We have now been thinking about coming back to try filling our tag on a cow. Anyone have experience with this? I believe we have to be within a mile of irrigated fields. Is there a list of ranchers...
Anyone been to the Lemhi in the last 2 years that care to give an update on influx of people or herd quality? Was there in 2017 and saw decent numbers and few people in a couple of the spots we hinted, tons in others, mostly by roads and gradual terrain. Heading back this September and just...
I am in a tough place and need some advice. My buddy and I had a plan to elk hunt every other year. This year being an other as last year we hunted MT. Now my GF tells me we should go elk hunting because she has a week+ off in September and I have vacation to burn. Can you believe the audacity...
Buddy and I are heading to MT September for 2 weeks of archery elk. We have it narrowed down to units 413, 432 and 448, primarily 432. I'm not looking for anything specific. Basically are these 3 units worth the time for a backpack hunt? What is the elk population like in the area? Bull to cow...
Any information would be appreciated. Mostly map scouted around Hill City. Heading out this Friday night from Wisconsin. Gonna do some looking around Pringle also. They are supposed to get less snow tomorrow. Planning on doing the same as we do here. Get up early, get up higher and put on the...
Just getting started planning my second elk hunt, we are heading to western Montana. Planning on hunting around Great Falls/Helena area. Question I am running in to already is how low is too low for early September? My first hunt was in the Lemhi zone of Idaho where we spent most of our time...
What would you do? Hunting unit 113 in WY, day 3 of a 7 day hunt with goats all around. As you make your way through a narrow piece of public the neighboring rancher calls you over and asks if you hit an antelope buck. He saw one over the ridge dragging a back leg. You didn't hit it originally...
Figured I would give them a try but can't get them to shoot. Blazers fly great on my Axis with fieldpoints, regular Muzzy 3 blade and regular Thunderheads. 4" feathers shoot great too. Put a broadhead on the 3 fletch Max Stealth and its like throwing a knuckle ball. First tried a stringer...
Taking my girlfriend and some of her family to WY this year for antelope and in the process of reading the regs for that cane across the rules about heads on deer and elk. Being in the point game for both and someday hoping to bring 1 home for a euro mount, how does one go about it? You bring...
I think this is right but why not ask the experts so I don't screw up and miss out? In MT a person can buy a preference point and/or a bonus point for NR deer, elk and big game combos, correct? Also, these can be purchased from July 1st through September 30th? Is it worth buying both to help...
Buddy and I are planning on applying for multiple states to begin building points. Elk bug hit us hard last year with our first trip to Idaho. Planning on starting to build points in Utah. Can someone point me in the direction of how many permits are available per unit? By the look of the draw...
Setting up a hunt this fall for my GF, her brother and cousin. I will be along to spot and pack. These 3 units caught my eye so far just based on odds and numbers of hunters. We won't be looking for monsters. I keep reading about WY access issues, any info on any of these being better than...
Just curious if grouse can be taken with a bow in Idaho without having a small game license. Have an elk hunt planned this fall in Idaho and was wondering if a hunting license, archery permit and elk tag would also allow the taking of grouse and small game with archery. Can't seem to find...
Hopefully somebody here can help me, I am finding no support on line. I bought a new 64s and a Hunt View chip this past winter in preparation for my 1st elk trip. I remember plugging the chip into my computer and it working fine. All the topo lines and aerial imagery was there. Now I cant get it...
