My vote is for a lightweight take-down recurve bow. There is nothing so fun as shooting grouse with a bow... I take 5-10 every year during archery elk here in Montana. Quiet and no damage if you use game heads and take head shots. It's also super humbling when you hit a grouse and take off...

This is just a pure emotional response for me... For a dedicated deer rifle... .25-06. I love mine, it's my confidence rifle. It only misses when I screw up. .25-06 is very underrated in my opinion.

25-06 Barnes 100 Gr TTSX, 3200 FPS... bang flop!

24"

Long range to mee starts at 300 and only goes to 6-700. Barnes LRX performs perfectly in the cartridges I shoot within those ranges. However, Like Naja said, when Hammer adds a tip, I will most certainly start looking at them!

Up to 14 already! Your prediction appears to be right on track!

Up to 14 already!

Same with my son... Mule deer dander got him this year...

The answer to that is a resounding YES. Remington made them for a while in ther R-25 Rifle series along with .243 and .308. I am fairly certain there are some manufacturers making uppers in both of those cartridges currently too...

Love the 7mm-08, my son killed his first deer with his 7mm-08 this year. My wife has taken deer, antelope and one cow elk with it so far. It also seems to be Randy Newberg's favorite cartridge. It'll take everything up to elk at reasonable distances with the right bullet (Under 350 is what we...

I use the same projectile exclusively for my .25-06 at around 3230FPS and I have never had a deer, prongy, or coyote live more than about 90 seconds (and 90 seconds was only because of a high lung hit). Most have been DRT. Barnes loads their Vor-TX load with the same at 3225. You might have just...

For elk hunts where you will be moving a lot, remember to also bring a pair of fresh socks to change out if you get too warm and sweat. Also, make sure your boots are not too snug, one thing I have seen too often is people layering socks on their feet and making their boots too tight causing a...

I've used the old Kings Camo Horn Hunter Bino case for almost a decade and love it. I have not tried their current offering but it looks decent. https://www.kingscamo.com/products/op-x-combo-bino-harness-system-horn-hunter?variant=51869770005

Wow, superb!

That's why I like First Lite, super comfy and soft, never itchy, and super warm!
