anyone have any older Remington Scirocco Power Level 2 or 3 in 300 RUM? Feel free to give me a call. Even partial box is fine. On another note: Anyone have good review on the Barnes 165gr RUM bullet in a model 700 stainless?

Quick Question/Reference: Are there any local folks in Alpine who would be willing to pack out a quartered elk during late Nov? I have 14 points going into the 2024 draw. I may draw it. I'm also thinking about paying the hunter's ed course fees....then with 15 points I think I'm pretty good. Im...

Well, my buddy and I joined as in group application for Elk, but split solo for the Antelope and Deer draws due to a lack of NR tags available. The lucky devil drew a goat tag. Any thoughts for this 2nd Aug hunt with open sites? secondly, I hate snakes. Are rattlesnakes around that country...

Well, 13 points in hand, and I threw in for unit 9 MZ and unit 9 archery. Like winning the lottery I suppose. I won't hold my breath

#1: 194,196 Archery Dec #2: 081 Archery Nov #3: 071-079 Archery Nov #4: 194,196 Nov Rifle #5: 231 Oct Rifle If I had my wish, I'd just rather have my 1st or 2nd pick...but, I'd also like to hunt this year, so I listed all 5. Secondly, although I'm a bowhunter, I'd rather not hunt in the heat of...

What to do, what to do? I didn't blink an eye when I burned my 12 points in unit 49 for MZ elk a few years ago...and what a fun hunt that was...albeit not a great volume of elk. I spoke to a Jeff Coldwell from Antler Quest a few years back. Early season rifle hunt?....Or gamble a late...

How hard is it to find a medium/large parcel to lease in Colorado? Like a $30-40k+, mountain lease, with deer, elk, bear, turkey's? Maybe a rustic cabin on it? Lease for the entire season so 10 buddies can carve out 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th season and spread people over the entire month of Oct/Nov...

Well...unit 52 changes every year. Drought, location of quality feed, pre-season cattle drives, weather, rut variances, locations/pockets of elk, and size/quantity of elk. This year: we covered 3 of my spots, inside the wilderness and out, but we never turned up a decent bull, or even a 260"...

I mean....isn't 12 old enough? Doesn't our sport need a few more young kiddos??

(4) Boxes of 180gr CoreLok 300RUM Remington factory loads. All (4) for $300 shipped FedEx. Basically $70 a box plus $20 S&H text me at 410-404-0707 I have a fella from CA that has first right of refusal since he already texted me from another posting today (10/28/21), but if that falls...

Question: If a NR continues to purchase PP's, buys a house in WY, and declares residency.....do their NR PP's turn into resident points for Moose/Sheep? Problem solved right there! I have 15 points now....but when I build my place/move in a few years, I'll have legal residency and likely...

Hello All: So I don't have to keep saving/printing all of the preference point totals.....what is the percent of Non-resident preference point holders who drop out of the system every year for Moose and sheep? 5%?....10%?.... I have 14 points for Moose/Sheep: I can't help but notice that I...

Well, its over. It started the day we found out we drew with 13 points in June, and ended Sat AM after 7+ days of elk rutting bliss. Here are my Top 10 take-aways about unit 49: 1.) The herd bulls are huge!330-340". Satellites are 300". 2.) The herd bulls are smart! 3.) The herd bulls ONLY...

Hello all-any suggestions on nearest wild game processing place near Fairplay, CO? A place that can turn meat around in a few days? I heard the butcher in Fort Collins closed shop. They did my bull last year. Also, anyone in unit 49 that is for hire for elk/quarter retrieval by horseback...

Hello all- I was getting excited about the possibility of a 2020 bow hunt in WY, as a NR, around Encampment, WY, down near the Colorado border.....away from grizzlies and wolves, and in a general tag zone...and with mountains that are not quite as monstrous as Region G or around Cody. Low...

Hello all- My buddy and I drew MZ tags with 12 NR points. We've been doing NM unit 52 for the past 8 years, and quite frankly I'm looking forward to a hunt that is longer than 5-days! Does anyone have a link to the last known Weston fire damage/map from 2018? I found a fire map that dates in...

This question is for Nevada NR Elk: Although there's always a chance to draw a NV bull elk tag with the bonus point structure, is (10) points "no-mans-land"? Or....is every NR bull elk tag drawn a long shot? Or....is (10) points getting close to a tag? Thanks Chris

Hello All- If there are 20 NR tags for a hunt, how many tags go to the highest point holders? Here's some math...and a question to follow: 20pts- 1 tag drawn out of 1 applicant=100% 17pts- 2 tags drawn out of 2 applicants=100% 15pts- 3 tags drawn out of 3 applicants=100% 12pts- 7 tags drawn...

Hello All- Does anyone have any info on what happens when you choose a 4th elk selection in the draw? Your 4th choice is truly considered, but if that unit has no tags, your put into another side pool of tags?.....and you could received a bull, cow, MZ, rifle, bow, early or late tag with no...

Hello MM Community- Anyone draw this hunt over the past couple years that would be willing to chat off-line? With the amount of points it taking, I cant imagine any of us NR will be hunting this more than 1x. Buffalo Peaks? Wilderness? east side of divide? I'm lining up a packer and other...

What to do, What to do? We have (12) points and in proverbial no-man's land for NR elk in Colorado. I talked to a CO hunt planner today, and he did mention Unit 12 MZ....which I believe we can draw with 12 points this spring. Question: With (100) MZ tags, and (600) bow tags, and god-knows...

Fellas- I'm a DIY late season rifle guy. Although I'm a bowhunter out east, I still haven't found the stomach for bowhunting elk and coming home empty handed....I'd rather have cold temps and a 600yd rifle than warm temps and bugling elk. I just saw Nate Simmons on the western hunter on the...

Hello all- Here's my 2016 late November Unit 54-1 bull just back from the taxidermist today. A special shout-out, and thank you, goes to Mightyhunter for giving me the inspiration, knowledge, and verbal assistance in preparation for this hunt and even more suggestions during my hunt. It's rare...

Hello All- Does anyone know this guy from Alburquerque, NM? He was cow elk hunting with a buddy in Unit 52 last week up FR93. I found his camera on the road a few miles away from his camp Call me at 410-404-0707 Chris

Hello All- Does anyone have a Rokon Trailbreaker 2x2 that they would be willing to rent me for the 4th Season in Mid-Nov?...or do you know somebody that has one? I was thinking maybe $500 for (5) days? I have a skinny BLM access trail on the western slope that has a nice wedge/sliver of access...

Am I in no-man's land or what?! Myself and 3 others in my elk hunt team all have 10 points going into 2017 draw for elk and Mule deer. I fear in 5 more years that we will still be in no-man's land with the point creep. I guess we'll just keep at it and hunt NM until we can get a quality 1st...

Does anyone have a guess at how many people drop out of the Moose and Sheep preference point pools every year? I'm guessing 5% overall, but certainly not 5% out of every point category. I bet its pretty random. Some unfortunately pass away, some forget for the 2nd year in a row, some choose to...

I drew 54-1 NW of Cody and I heard there were some fires around Pat O'Hare area? Looked on the web and saw a few news reports that validated the fires...but were they isolated areas or huge patches of country?

Are NM resident youth hunters only allowed in elk draws? Thanks Chris

Hello All- Does anyone know a rancher in the Wheatland/Laramie area that takes trespass fees for a cow elk hunter? Thanks Chris

Hello everyone- How bad is the weather in Jan/Feb around the missouri breaks? Unit 410 has a winter cow elk hunt, and this may be the only way to salvage the season and put some elk meat in the freezer. I'd be coming out from Maryland. Fly into Great Falls and make the drive up. I hear the F&G...

Just checking in regarding the northern NM rut activity above 9,000'. Weather been cool or seasonal? This is my 4th consecutive season with a MZ in Unit 52. just interested in general conditions. Is FR87 bridge being worked on west of San Antonio Mountain? Thanks crcountry

Hello- I was going to call a biologist friend of mine up in the Buffalo area on Tuesday and start to dig into the idea of cow elk hunting in Unit 6 this Nov/Dec. With all of the tags available, are the landowners pretty sick of folks knocking on doors? I'm sure $$$ will work though. Any...

Hello MM members- Is there such thing as private ranchers that offer high success cow elk hunts to thin their herd for $500-1000? Preferably a private ranch situation where the landowner is personally collecting the trespass fee and pointing us in the right direction? I'm reluctant to pay an...

Fellas- Max NR points and interested in my 1st guided horseback style hunt with the real possibility of a 350"+. Looking at either Boulder Basin Outfitters or Shoshone Lodge Outfitters for a late season migration hunt. Only (1)NR tag for each of these hunts in the "special" pool. 7-12% chance...

Just seeing if anyone drew a unit 52 tag this sept? This is my 3rd straight year with a LO tag, so im looking forward to another fun year. Take care- crcountry

Hello Fellow MM hunters- Any of you have fun chasing bulls in unit 52 this year with your bow? I have 3-4 ideas floating in my head for our upcoming DIY MZ hunt, but I thought maybe I could PM/chat with someone who just left the northern section of 52 to pick their brain and see what the elk...

Can anyone give me a reliable source for road closures in Unit 52? I gather that many forest roads get closed for the hunting season, but I suspect more than the 87 road heading to Lagunitas is open?!? Thxs- Chris

My buddy and I just acquired UW MZ tags in Unit 52 for the up-coming Oct 2012 season. I've read no less than 100 posts from several hunting forum sites and everyone suggests that unit 52 is a great hunt with awesome country and plenty of medium sized bulls....we're pretty jacked up. (5)...

Hello All: With the reduction of NR tags, and the diminished chance of gaining a tag without the use of an outfitter, I'm certainly thinking of applying in NW with an outfitter this year (for the 1st time ever). Who is a well respected, knowledgeable, backcountry elk outfitter who uses horses...
