Re: Passing on the shot

I hunt for meat not trophies. I've always shot the first buck I've seen but that's always been on a general season unit. If I had a limited entry tag for deer or elk I'd raise my "standards" a bit. Of course I'd like to shoot a massive buck or bull but I'm not going to be picky. I've been hunting el...

Re: Need a good rifle scope

I put a Cabelas 6-18-44 on my new .300 win ($300) and I like it much better than my Nikon Monarch that was twice as expensive. I've never tried a Vortex scope but I've heard nothing but good things about them but I do have their binos and spotting scope and for the price, quality, and warranty, you ...

Re: Finally.... First Elk (Pics showing up now)

Ya I've come close to getting a nice bull a few times up Soapstone but each time the hunters that I never saw come up past camp in the morning and somehow snuck in right below me would get the shot off a half second before I could and it was always their first time in the area or their first year el...

Re: Finally.... First Elk (Pics showing up now)

Thanks guys. Feels good to finally say I've taken an elk! It might have taken me almost half my lifetime but I finally did it. Wish it was a nice bull that I could mount on my wall but I'm not going to complain! And I picked up just under 200 lbs of meat today, so I'm one happy camper or hunter I sh...

Finally.... First Elk (Pics showing up now)

After 13 long years with a few of those years doing multiple hunts in different states, I finally took my first Elk. Got her opening day, just before dark in the Soapstone area. Wish it was a bull but I still got plenty of time to find one! Heading back up to camp in a hours! Can anyone tell me if 3...
