Thanks very much Jim and walk4rams. I appreciate it.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-28-17 AT 06:42AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Sep-28-17 AT 06:38?AM (MST) Hello all, I am in need of new chains. Any upgrades in quality chains over the last several years? What are you guys running on your vehicles and why did you go with that brand and style? Thank you.

Hi Tony, I drew a n.r. for the same unit in 2015. I just sent you a detailed letter by e-mail so please watch for it in case it gets flagged and tossed in your junk mail. Ken

Weatherby recently came out with a reasonably priced rifle designed for women - the Camilla in the Vanguard series. Stocked in short action calibers, but 6.5 Creedmor, 7mm-08 or .308 with a stout bullet are sufficient for elk at reasonable distances.

Randy Ulmer is without a doubt one of the very best hunters and archers living today. If you need to question very average "pro's", go after guys like Cameron Hanes.

Like most guys I read far more than I ever comment, but I have to say that after many years of reading Triple Big Baby's incredibly self centered posts, that any grief he gets from others is well earned. Anyone that has so little respect for others as to brag about turning n.r's in for hunting...

Very sorry for your loss. It's horrible to go through. We also just lost our drahthaar, to cancer, at only 4 years of age two months ago. She was finished out nice, a true athlete, had the best nose of even our best past drahthaars, and was a clown that had you laughing constantly. Not to...

Kelco, I will e-mail you when I get some time.

62. Oh.....and leave room in your quiver for an old model HK Benelli M1 stoked with slugs.

Yes - it's fun and exciting. Like some of you I had it happen also, mine on a spring bear hunt. While sitting down and glassing a basin near evening he came up behind me. I did not hear him but guess I sensed something staring at me. Turned around and he was 20 feet away. Upon eye contact he...

Manny, I had the exact same great experience as bucklover did with Swarovski on a pair of SLC's I sent in just last year. I think the turn around was about a month if I remember correctly. Superb customer service and my binos are like new again.

Like probably many of you, I have found the past reads of hunting trips to be invaluable. This is just to encourage those that maybe do not do it to consider it. Reading back over hunts that happened long ago brings back details a person will never retain, but best of all, it puts you right...

elkcrackhead - Am sending you an e-mail.

I agree with the above posts. I was told by a government trapper several years ago that it was Blind Bull drainage after it had been marauding sheep on complaints from the Basque herders. I personally also lost a front quarter of a moose in 2002 to a grizzly on the north end of H not far from...

All good info above. I have the same ultralight .280 rifle you mention and have shot a lot of elk with it, mostly with full throttle handloads in 160 Nosler Partition and Barnes bullets, but recently have been using handloaded 140 Accubonds. I value every ounce of meat so all I ever take are rib...
