Thank you, pm sent!!

Thank you for your help I'll check it out. Was size bucks (width) did you get?

Used my 9 points this year to draw this tag. Going there scouting in early October. Any tips of areas to look or sit and wait would be great full. I do not get around very well as have had a peg leg for less than two years now and walking inclines or hills very hard. Pm me if have some...

I totally DIY can't afford the guides. Elk 124 has been on my list and Deer I'm wide open, maybe even 102.

So for deer I have 10 points the max available. Is there any units that you would consider using the points for a 170 class buck? For Elk I have 8 Points and looking to get a hunt with a chance at a 300 class bull. I know I'm on the edge of some drawing some good units but would love to hear...

Any you would recommend?

Looking for a meat hunt for cow elk. Anyone know where I can get a good deal?

Can you hunt an Oregon Resident and which unit would it be for cow elk?

What kind of casing are you using? Sound like a very good load.

Both of those loads look interesting. If your sighted in for 200 yards then what would your drop be at 500 yards?

How about Varget

How much powder are you guys using and what are your groups like? Also have any idea on what your speed is? Was thinking of seeing about getting some nosler brass.

I just won a really nice Tikka synthetic, camo, stainless 300 WSM and wonder if anyone has a really good load they have come up with. What brass, powder, bullet, etc. Thanks

Sorry about that as it would be rifle.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-28-14 AT 08:47PM (MST)[p]Thank You any certain areas to look at? You can PM me if you want to.

Yes I understand, but to get the elk hunting is a much better adventure for me and I would rather eat elk over beef bought. Thank you for your suggestion though.

I would really like to harvest an elk for my parents who are cash poor and could really use the meat. I'm a non-resident have built up 4 cow points and just need pointed in the right direction. So if you know of a tag worth trying to draw and could help out that would be awesome. Also as I...

For unit 8 can you get away from the roads far enough you don't run into the next road. For unit 6A which of the units has the more appeal. More elk, more public land, most hunters. The success looks to be the about the same in the two units. Another thought would be unit 10, but it gets the...

Thanks guys for the imput. Anyone else

Can someone that has hunted unit 8 tell how the quality of animals are. Like a good chance at a 300" plus. Also are there a fair number of just raghorns running around. I'm a non-resident and thinking of putting in for this tag. I have some real ankle and foot issues on my right foot. I can...

I have three

How hard is it to draw this tag?

I've saved a few points for cow elk. Can anyone tell me a good unit to try and draw a good tag. I'm semi disabled, missing a couple toes off right foot and some serious ankle issues. I can still hike in about three miles given the full day. Looking for past experience of hunters that can...

How much powder are you using on these loads and do you know what there speed is? Right now I've been using Varget with 59.6 g and at 3050 fps and this is with the 200 gr Nosler accubond

I wish they would add a few more of these 600 series into trophy hunts. I know that you can draw an either sex Whitetail tag, but almost all the land on that hunt is private. I to sit here with 15 points trying year after year and have put in for Bighorn now 38 years without a draw.

What has the winter been like so far in Wyoming?

I use the points to try and draw some good tags. I now put in for points in seven states and what brought to doing this was the fact that I have put in 38 years in Oregon as a resident for Bighorn Sheep. I've still not drawn this tag and there is no point system for Bighorn or Mtn. Goat. So I...

440sixpack your thought on using my tag now does make a lot of sense. It is just picking the right unit to have that chance at a 170 plus muley. I'm retiring in the next two years then I could draw the eaiser units to draw and spend more time in them. So if you were to pick a unit with a lot...

I also have 6 points for elk but plan on using them next year. So for deer the top eight or so units that are always talked about as the best, are they that good? And do you feel the late hunts in November are the way to go?

So I'm in the top of the points and a non-resident deer. Is it worth using my points for a chance at a trophy or do you think there may be some changes in some units to develop trophy potential. What unit would you point me towards if I was to attempt to use my points for 2014. Thanks for any...

I shoot a Browning stainless stalker in the .325 WSM abolt. Has anyone made up some good loads that they are real happy with?

I'm looking at putting in for a late bull seasons in near future, I have a little amount of disability missing a couple of toes on right foot and ankle issues. I can still get myself in a good three miles and back out. I've noticed alot of the draws seem to be in the 20% area. Would love to...
