    Antelope Decoy's

    Not antelope, but I drew a LE archery elk, and I plan on purchasing a cow elk decoy. If used correctly, it seems to me that it could help.

    Could You and Would You Take the Shot?

    I like that angle, but it would be out of my range. I practice and am confident out to 50, but past that I just won't shoot. I have seen many archers hit the targets out to 100, but I am not one of them. Beautiful buck.

    Mini 14??

    I guess I have a GREAT mini 14. Have had it for about 30 years, serial 181-------. It has a horrible trigger, but it will put 5- 55gr hornady, with about 25grs. 3031 into an inch all day. I carry this gun every where I go on my farm, couldn't count all the hogs I have killed with it, coyotes...

    La Sal Mountains Late Rifle Bull Elk

    My wife had a late La Sal tag (nonresident)in 2015. There was quite a bit of snow that year, and my wife has limited mobility, but it was a very hard hunt for us. Most of our time was spent on the south end, and down low in the cedar, pinion areas. We saw a total of 6 elk. 2 bulls and 4 cows...

    270 Win with Barnes 130 gr TTSX starting point?

    I have been reloading my 270 since 1971, and my powder of choice is, h4831. I load a 130 gr Nosler partion, with 58.5 gr, CCI 250 primer and my chrono always shows about 2975. I could get a few more fps, with another grain of powder, but it does not group as well. I always get about 1 moa in my...

    Utah Late Elk Hunt

    I would guess he has broken off at least 30" of horn. I would guess he would have been about a 310 or maybe 320 class before he broke off. She shot it the last 20 minutes of shooting light, and 4 of us drug him down to side by side and we drug him about a mile where we could get a pick-up and...

    Utah Late Elk Hunt

    After 12 years of applying for a tag, my wife drew 1 of two non-resident tags allotted for her unit this year. It was an extremely difficult hunt, and seen very few elk. The last 30 minutes of the hunt, she downed this old bruiser. He is broken up horribly, and probly not as much horn as years...

    UT LE late hunt around the corner.

    We will be heading out Wednesday, 11/4. My wife also drew one of the two nonresident late season tags for her unit, 11 points. We won't have much time for scouting, hope the colder weather will help.

    BH209

    I have read some posts, that BH209, might not shoot on some muzzleloaders. I have a HR huntsman, that uses the plastic primer holder. I had some problems, with 777 pellets nit igniting properly, so I drilled out the primer hole in the plug, and now it shoots great. 2 50 gr pellets and 250 gr...

    Blow-by

    I am fairly new to muzzleloader shooting, and bought a barrel for my New England SB-2 in 50 cal., about 3 years ago. Last year I hunted with this rig, probly shot it about 20 times with 2-50 grain 777 pellets and 250 grain sabot. This past winter when I was changing the barrels, back to a rifle...

    Suggestions on scope for 270 WSM?

    For 35 years, my 270 has been mated with a 6X Leupold. Shot elk, mule deer, numerous whitetail deer, coyotes, prairie dogs, and more than its share of wild pigs. I have never felt like I needed more scope. It shoots all weight of bullets, to nearly same point of impact, and will always group a...

    Barnes 110 TTSX for elk

    Last year I loaded some 110 ttsx Barnes for my wife's 270. I can tell you, they kick as hard as a 130 gr., I couldn't tell the difference in recoil. However, they are very accurate and I shot two whitetail and a boar about 200 lbs. The bullet performed flawlessly. All one shot kills, and...

    Used Thompson Center Encore worth?

    I would say about $269.99. And I will come and pick it up and have the papers changed. Really, I have seen simular rigs listed for right around a grand. Condition always figures in also.

    Multiple species LE application idea!!

    That's a great idea Dave. I wrote the fish and game and voiced my displeasure about us being able to apply for everything, they thanked me for my input, but nothing has changed. I like your idea, they still get their 10 bucks a pop and it would lower our odds a little.
