    What should I expect?

    I drew the September Rifle LE Elk tag for the Pilot Mountain/091area on the Utah/Nevada border this fall. I am really excited. I am making my second trip out to scout this weekend. First was in May and saw a lot of elk but they were just starting to grow antlers at that time. Some definitely...

    Vortex Razor owners

    So after trying to use my amazing Razor 10x42 for the past few years, I am giving up. I CANNOT HOLD a 10x42 steady for the life of me. I want to use them. They are clear and excellent. On a tripod they are terrific, but I can't hold them steady without something to lean on. I find myself...

    Minox Flashlight

    Sitka Gear Differences

    I need some help. What is the difference between Sitka's Summit T shirt and the Traverse shirts? Is one heavier than the other? Are they essentially the same other than year of manufacture? Trying to decide between the two as I have an opportunity to purchase either or both. Thanks! FH

    Salami

    I just wanted to say that homemade Venison Salami is awesome. I used the Hi Mountain Sausage making kit and smoked them in my electric smoker for about 4-4.5 hours, until the inside temp of the meat was good. I also made some breakfast sausage that has won over the whole family. I am so glad...

    8x42 vs 10x42 vs 8x32?

    So, I own a 10x42 Vortex Razor and a Minox BD8x32BR ASPH. I am considering selling my Razors or possibly trading them for an 8x42 Razor or similar because I really struggle holding those 10x steady for long periods of time. They are terrific on the tripod, but I rarely use the tripod. What...

    Sighting in Questions.

    So....I spent a few nights getting my new sight ready to shoot in the "Icebreaker" tournament in Provo Canyon. I was perfectly on in the backyard at 20, 30 and 40 yards. I then went up in the foothills above Centerville and zeroed my 50 and 60 yard pins on Friday evening. There was some wind...

    Never Enough Volume 4

    Prism, Again you did a great job on your DVD. I am sad that this is your last one, as you have done a terrific job of capturing the emotions that keep me hunting. For me, the hunt is all about the emotions. The smells, the crisp air, the golden leaves and fresh pine scent, keep me going back...

    Alright, I have finally done it now. As if I didn't have enough hobbies already, I now own a Hoyt Protec that is set up really nice. I don't even know where to begin. I will be hunting deer in Utah this upcoming August with a couple of friends that have Archery hunted and shot tournaments...

    Anybody use a Fanny Pack?

    I am going to buy a nice fanny pack to compliment my Badlands 2200 backpack. I am looking to get something like the Badlands Monster or RT Stealth Fanny pack. Have any of you used these packs? Can you use the Badlands Water straps with the RT Fanny or is it only for the Monster? Are there...

    Jynx is loosed and first elk has been taken.

    Yesterday I finally shot my first elk. I shot a large cow at 378 yards with my 7mm Rem and a 160 grain Nosler Accubond. Perfect results and the Burris Signature with Ballistic Plex worked perfectly. Only took me around 8 years of hunting elk to finally kill one. Late season antlerless tag and...

    Barnes MZ Expander VS. Elk Shoulder

    I am using an extremely accurate 300 grain MZ Expander load in my ML this fall. I am loading 100 grains of 777 under it and igniting it with a 209 primer. Here is my question; Can I aim and shoot through the shoulder on any size bull and expect it to penetrate through the vitals? I know I...

    Calling for Elk in November

    I am going on an Early November muzzleloader elk hunt and wanted to get some help. I have used a "bite & blow" style cow call in the past with success but I am struggling with my teeth being too sensitive. My questions are these: What is a good all around call to use? Are certain calls more...

    300 gr. SST or XTP Mag for Elk

    I have shot a lot with the SST in 300 grain this year and am very pleased with its accuracy and flat trajectory. I shot all the way through an approximately 10" thick Aspen tree trunk that had fallen over near our deer camp. I never found that bullet. Seems to have plenty of penetration...

    .451 260 grain Partition Sabot vs. Cow Elk?

    Hey guys! I am going on a late season antlerless elk hunt with my Muzzleloader. I was just curious what you think of the above bullet in a .54 TC firehawk. I took a nice fat 4 point Muley this fall with the above bullet (.45 caliber 260 grainer) and the bullet left a large hole all the way...
