Good Morning, Daniel, I've yet to kill a trophy mule deer. I've seen 'em. But getting a shot at one is another story. My advice is to go limited entry regions. But this would take years. I have a bunch of bonus points and keep applying for the Henrys. I've yet to see a tag in the mail. I'm...

Last year, I talked to a hunter in the Rockies. He told me that he used an ultralight to preseason scout. He learned that where deer are preseason ain't where they're gonna be come opening day. It has never been a consideration of mine, so I don't know whether it's legal to scout from aircraft...

I'd go Wyoming. It'll take a lot of points to get into a monster muley area in CO. You might want to get started on Heny Mountains bonus points. Allegedly the largest mule deer bucks in the nation live in the Henrys.

A .308 Win will kill elk just as dead as a .300 Rem Ultra Mag.

Good Morning, pushcoguy, The best components and equipment won't compensate for a rifle that won't hold a group. I use RCBS equipment. I got a Rockchucker combo set for Christmas some 30 years ago. It works better than I'd of expected. Were I a target shooter, I'd probably buy match grade...

Good Morning, MajorSpittle, You have one extremely accurate rifle. I love accurate rifles. They give us a whole lot of confidence. I can understand your not wanting to compromise velocity. I've been lucky with my primary hunting rifles: they're more accurate as they approach max powder...

Hi KSCHEVY, I can tell you a lot about shoulder surgeries. Hence, I literally feel your pain. I put a shotgun recoil pad on my Model 700 .270 Win. I can shoot 60 grains of H-4831 & 130 grain bullets into .25" groups at a hundred all day long without pain. BTW, my recoil absorbing shoulder needs...

At one time, the Partition was the gold standard for Rocky Mountain elk. I've used and still use 160 grain Partitions in my 7MM Rem Mag. They will shoot through-and-though the biggest of bull elk. I'd go with a 175 grain Sierra GK and an excellent elk bullet. A three dollar bullet won't kill...

roscott has provided excellent info. CO does have a lot of elk. roscott nailed it with his advice about physical conditioning. Keep in mind that Louisiana physical condition is a whole lot different than 8000' and higher physical condition. roscott was right on the money about an outfitter...

Hi Ang0918, It's late in the game to get an area with a decent chance at killing a bull. Were I you, I'd look in to British Columbia and Alberta. If you're thinking USA, maybe Montana or Idaho. If you're drawn into a limited area in CO, you could expect a better than decent chance of killing a...

No. 4. Nothing living remains in that condition sans topside oxygenated blood supply. Destroy that bull's heart and he'll hit dirt within seconds.

750 yards is a far piece of real estate the higher one climbs above 7000'. I'd go with a 7MM Rem Mag or .270 Win. If I were to go the expensive route, a .308 Win

That's why I carry a fishing net ;-)
