Good Morning, I have been following the replies for this message. I am a NR with 23 points and have been waiting for a 2,201,10 tag. Still short I believe. Is their that much difference overall of the normal bulls in these units to 61? At 62 years old I need to get this done. A 320 or better...

So I just applied for my elk tag. It shows I bought the $160 license and $15 application. Do they hold your draw money and charge you if drawn then. It did not show up on my VISA statement. Thanks

Hello, Was wondering if someone more knowledgeable then myself would help me out. I load a 300 WM with 70gr of IMR4350 and a 180 accubond bullet. My old Speer manual lists it at 2950fps. If sighted in at 100yds 2" high and 100yds 3" high what would be the drop at 300,350,400,450,500 yds for...

Hello again, Thinking again about what to get in a 50 cal. Now thinking about a Knight Bighorn or Disc Extreme. I've handled a Bighorn but to me feels real barrel heavy. Does the Disc Extreme seem different? Trying to get the best one as I will only get one for the next ???? Any thoughts etc...

Just wondering if anybody thinks one is better? 50 Cal?

I am thinking about buying one of these for a upcoming elk hunt. I live in WA State so I can also use it here for hunting, just take scope off when I'm done in AZ. What are your thoughts good/bad about this gun and what loads for elk up to a 200 shot? Thanks in advance for any help.

So I am going to use a 54 cal T/C Firehawk this year for elk in AZ. It has a 1:38 twist. Any and all replys about bullets/powder etc are great. Don't want to shoot over 200 yds etc, can use a scope. Will be using a #11 mag cap. Thanks for any info...Tom

Hello, Am going to AZ on a late elk hunt. I have always used this load (120 gr 2ff) and a 415 gr maxi-ball. Shots have been 100yds or less. Do you think this load would work out to 200 yd also. I have about 600 bullets in this weight. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Been looking but haven't found when elk results are posted. If anyone has a general idea I would appreciate it.
