elk

Hello, I am flying out for Elk hunt in Idaho first week of October. Normally I drive to any hunts, but this year due to work I am not able to get enough time from work to drive and have to fly. Have any of you ever transported Elk Antlers on Airplane? I would really appreciate any experience...

I'm looking for some info/tips on elk hunting in Idaho. We will be going in mid October hunting the middle fork zone. None of us live near the area and can't take the time off to do a scouting trip so its basically been all E-scouting. That being said, I feel like we have found a good spot...

Take a look. To sum up last season it was quick and went by too fast. Work had me in the office almost continuously. What time I did get I spent getting my old man his first pronghorn. That said, I did connect with a few critters and enjoy every minute!!

Howdy yall. What have you all drawn for this year? (2019) If you want name the district. Maybe we could meet up in the field! Also what season does it cover Rifle or Archery? I will start out. I got a 631 Either Sex tag for Elk. Rifle season Only. Thanks! and Happy Hunting!

Hi all. Myself and 3 friends are going to be elk hunting the 3rd rifle season in Colorado GMU 521 this November. We are going to be in the Electric Mountain/Chalk Mountain area. We are taking ATV's and aren't afraid to hike quite aways to get into good hunting. We are all first time elk...

Hello, I won an Elk hunt for this fall in Idaho. The hunt will take place just south of Salmon, ID . The hunt dates are 10/1 to 10/5. The contest I won does not cover the cost of license or tags only cost of guide and lodging. I am supposed to enter the draw, and if not successful in drawing...

Howdy- My quick intro. Joined up because I see tremendous value in the forums here. Thanks to so many that have contributed to the body of knowledge. Very heartening to see such a group of shooters! Wife, daughter, self and our two retrievers live much of the year in New England, but...

Hello all, First post on here so if there are any rules I end up crossing please let me know, I’ll get it fixed ASAP. I also tried searching the threads, but couldn’t quite find what I was looking for as most questions weren’t related to suppressor use. Question: What barrel length for 300...

My best friend and I drew for 1st season elk in GMU 65this year. We plan on backpacking into the Uncompahgre Wilderness and hunt the east fork of the Cimarron River. That being said, does anyone have any other areas in the GMU we should look at? I welcome any and all advice, in general. Thanks!

New to the group Just purchased a Kimber Mountain Accent in 7mm topped with a nightforce 4x14x50 f1 ffp. Just curious if anyone has one and started reloading for it yet. Will be using it for my primary elk gun. Looking for a few good loads to start with. Will be using 168gr bergers. Also has...

Well, building my second savage 300 win mag took a detour and ended up heavier than I originally planned. Mcrees G10 chassis still was not available so I went with the G7 (5lbs instead of 3.5), called Northland Shooter Supply for another barel and I guess the APA micro bastard brake requires...

Wish I had more time to spend there.

I was checking out the Idaho Fish and Game hunting statistics for Unit 17. I was pleased to see that last year 71% of the harvested bull elk were 6 points or better. In 2009, 78% were 6 points or better. Our November hunts produce some nice long range hunting opportunities for the qualified...

2 guys from Kentucky looking to share a Colorado Elk Hunt September/October of 2009. One guy is experienced, and will be acting as a leader/guide, but not an outfitter. This is DIY affair to keep the costs down. We plan on using horses and packing into country around Glenwood Springs. We...
