    Nosler partition vs. accubond for moose & elk?

    Shot game with both and either will do the job. Accubonds have been used the last dozen years or so.

    So, what Elk unit did you apply for...?

    5B North Elk Archery

    In my opinion I would wait for a unit as Point creep is around 1pt per year in the top ~10 units for Non-residents. Different story for residents. Check accurate sites like Toprut and you will see the creep. Unit 10 jumped 2 points last year for Non residents. The later dates on 5B should be...

    UT Ogden Mountain Billy Goat Guide

    Thanks and I understand what you both are saying and appreciate the candid feedback. I do realize from research its not difficult to find goats and they are very concentrated. Somewhat of a zoo opening day. I have hunted goats twice before in other states so I have experience on judging and...

    CO NR Elk preference point debacle

    Sure wish they would do point averaging also as it would help manage my family hunts and hunts with a couple good friends.

    New Mexico ELK 2016

    PS Dont go by Huntin Fool or MRS listed odds to determine how often you may draw. The odds they list are inflated by 2X to 5X! For example, they take take the total NR tags and divide by just 1st choice applicants.... even though all three hunt choices are valid. A much more realistic and...

    Hornady FPB's on elk

    FPB's is what I would use in CO for Muzzy from my research but I have not tried them yet. I had bad experiences with powerbelts myself and will NEVER use them again. Good luck with your CO tag. I hope to draw 61 archery next year or 76 muzzy is an option.

    Colo elk, Can't wait any longer

    Coloradoboy, As an engineer I love details! Thanks for the great post. I have 17pts....no mans land as I call it. I have gotten advice to wait for 61 but the point creep is driving me nuts. I wonder if its really worth it as I just want to burn them and hunt more often!

    My DIY Fishlake Muzzleloader Bull

    Score was an estimate from someone who knows elk better than me. I guess I should have never posted it. Frankly, I have not put a tape on him and probably wont for a while... as I could careless and have better things to do like help my sons fill their WI deer and turkey tags.

    My DIY Fishlake Muzzleloader Bull

    Actually not to bad. Killed him in a rough area but luckily got some horses to take the meat down:) I packed the rack/skull half way down until it opened up so the horse could take over.

    wyo goat hunt

    Brings back memories of my goat hunt in WY. Might just be the toughest animal to judge. Finding a goat in a shootable location proved to be a challenge. I harvested this great billy a few years back in late Oct. with a rifle. I just love the long hair. Keep at it and best of luck!
