I'm like Xtreme. Depends on the application. I've shot them all at one time or another for one reason or another. My favorite is the one I'm using at that particular time.

I've retired from the modular manufacturing business. Sort of like building a house indoors. Started out as an electrician, worked my way through all of the line jobs to become assistant production...

At our local RMEF dinner this year an outfitter in the Gardiner,Mt area donated a hunt for the live auction but it had a reserve on it. Now this is in PA. They could not even get the price up to the...

I used a 300 gr Barnes x with sabots and 3 pyrodex pellets for New Mexico elk, Illinois whitetails and PA whitetails. Works good out to 200yds with my set up (scope). I' ve also used 240gr xtp ...

Probably will. We have them in the middle of corn fields and pine tree plantations here in PA. And it's not legal here. We've found them in both areas. Local police were pleased to get the locations...

I guess I missed the point about just a different caliber and long range the intended purpose. I have 3 6.5x284's two are target rifles for competion and one for hunting. One of them is getting a new...

You guys made my day with this thread. Thanks to all.:D

I hunted region G in 2011 also. Scouted one week before season and hunted the whole season. Saw way more moose than shootable bucks. Didn't find one I liked so came back to PA. alone. Lots of...

I've hunted with a 7 mag a looong time. Very nice killing machine you're getting. You will be pleased.

I agree OTC elk would be your best bet.

Good one

Take a look at the Forbes 24B in 25-06 or 6.5 x55. They will make other calibers but if you're just hunting deer,lope and sheep this will do. Left hand stainless is not a problem. Good luck

I have smiled and waved at quite a few game cameras over the years. That is not saying the next guy will. As previously mentioned a variety of locks are available to make the mind feel at ease but in...

I just won a Rem 700 338 win mag at our local RMEF Banquet. It was the progressive raffle so now my name gets thrown in the bucket for the 8 day elk hunt as well. I already have a couple of favorites...

I am flatered by the offer but I must confess my counting skills are limited by the number of digits on my hands. ;)0

54 is OTC with caps for either sex in 2nd season. I didn't really want to hunt 2nd but maybe you are trying to tell me that 2nd is a better choice for deer??? Better rethink this so more.

Since I've been in all of the lower 48 at one time or another that is a hard choice. It would certainly be west of the Mississippi. The PA game commission has decimated the whitetails here. I'm...

Your comment about elk and deer in same area is most helpful.
Thanks to everyone that replied. I think I'll put in for a cow tag this year and check it out in the summer as packmule suggests if...

While I did not intend to hunt both species at the same time, I agree. To clarify my question, if I could only go once and could draw and elk tag would it be more beneficial to be in the area at the...

I am in a quandry and need some help. I am looking to draw a unit 54 Colorado deer tag some day. have 6 points now as a NR. Need to get to know the areas. Since deer season runs concurrent with elk...

My youngest son and I put in for tags. He wants to get his first antelope. He'll get first dibs but he's a little trigger happy. I hope I can hold him off for a good one. It will be a fun time any...

Sounds like I'll have to order one of those. I have David Long's and thought it was terrific. Us Easterners can use all the help we can get Thanks for the " heads up"

I would like the Co high country early rifle as well

You made a "GOOD" cat out of him.

MWScott,
I,ve driven to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana around 20 times so far. Flew out to Wyoming once and rented a car for a mule deer huntin the Grey's River. Getting horns and meat back on the plane...
