I've been there about 7 times now. My wife thinks I live there. Dropped about a grand so far, but I 'needed' all that stuff. No doubt they are pricey but they have good stuff. Any of you elkhunters hunting the cedars should look at the Advantage max 1 camo and the seclusion 3D open country. Cabelas has it and I thought it blended in very well. DUG

Here is another picture of Jason's elk. Maybe this will give a better view for those of you scoring at home.

I believe the hunters name is Jason. He is my wifes aunts son in law. I was just sent some pictures of his elk. It is a nice one for sure. Looks like he had a lot of people on his hunt taking pictures. Do you know if his dad tagged out yet? Congrats to Jason for his first big bull elk!

Well, let's hear the story. How far , what unit, bull or cow? Congrats on getting your first! I got my first archery cow in 7w on Sunday morning. 28 yards.

Nice! Just goes to show anything can happen when hunting. Way to make the most of it!

Congrats! That had to have been awesome having all those huge bulls around.

Josh, I couldn't find my 2 main ones. I found one of those Thursday, but he was so spooky. We found a stocky horned 12 incher Friday afternoon and shot him at 40 yards. He was in the pines with 3 does. Congrats again on your first!

Josh, way to go! I met you at the antelope seminar.You were in unit 7. Give us the story. How far a shot, how many bucks did you see? etc.

We always see alot near pine trees in farmers yards. We've shot afew the last couple years, but haven't seen big numbers in one area.

For a riflescope Leupold all the way.

Usually you need to check in at the main shooting range. Pay 5 bucks and sign in. Keep your receipt with you.

My son and I go to Ben Avery on Fridays. Usually not crowded then. We might be there this Friday mid morning.

Anybody have these? What do you think of these? Priced about $500 to $600 depending where you look. Thanks. DUG

Just checked that out. Cool site. Thanks for info Neo. We're scouting elk and antelope tomorrow, nice to know what the weather might do. DUG

Looks like he's licking his partners back. Hope that elk isn't in my unit during bow season. I think I'll wear cow elk urine and not bull urine and watch my back.

My next door neighbors 7west bull tag was delivered to the neighbor across the street. Good thing they're not anti's. It's nice to have good neighbors. Don't know if there was beer involved.

Those look nice. Happy shooting

My son and I got our 5 tags between us yesterday. None of them overlap except for my turkey during his JR. deer hunt in 23. Going to be a busy fall. Maybe there will be at least one deer in 23 for his hunt. lol

Took the wife and kids up North to scout for antelope and elk. Threw in the new bow to practice with. Found lots of jackrabbits to practice with. !st shot at live game was a hit from 40yards. It started to run off with my arrow. Just using field tips. Used range finder on some targets and guessing range on others. Ruined 2 arrows but it was worth it for the experience and practice. Saw lots of elk and a few antelope.

By Friday night they were out of 100 gr. 3 blade Muzzy's.

Not going to touch one of those until the bugs are worked out.

I just got a Switchback XT. I shot Trykon, Allegiance and Tribute before deciding on the Switchback. I don't think you could go wrong with any of these. They were all about the same price.

My BAR .270 Winchester has shot 10 elk since 1992. 5 bulls 5 cows. Longest shot was about 325 yds. Didn't go more than 100 yds. I would say with proper shot placement and the right bullet 400 yds.would be the most I would shoot at one. If you want a little more ooomph get the .270WSM.

Thanks Jamaro, I will check that out.

Jamaro, are you saying there are functional problems with RX range finders? I'm waiting on a RX-II or III but they are on back order. Thanks. DUG
