killed my first elk with a 7mm @240 yards, big animals can suck up a lot, 3 160 grain nosler part. and he was done. bought a 300 win mag for next hunt. I have weartherby mag and I do not recommend them mainly for cost of ammo, even if you reload the brass is expensive. a 300 win mag or 300wsm...

check out Montana Safaries. when I use a outfitter this who I will use, spoke to him a couple of times at RMEF banquet in Little Rock, Ar. and some members that have used him.

i've not personally hunted with him but met him at the Little Rock RMEF banquet. talked to some of the members there that have hunted with him and comes highly recomended. Rocky Heckman owner of Montana Safaries is who i speak of. check out his web site, very reasonable rates, this is who i...

expect heavy hunting pressure, it has been a few years since i hunted the Flattops around Buford. took my first bull there, the elk seem to run on the small side from my experience hunting other areas. hunted gun season one year and went back next year for bow season. harvested my elk on water...
