    Imagine that you are tucked into a ground blind and this shot is presented. Lets say 13 yards for the purpose of this question. Is this elk picture suitable for the frontal shot or is the elk quartering to a little too much?

    Gutless method and caping for a mount

    For the people who have caped an elk for a shoulder mount, did you use the gutless method or did you gut it first? Meat preservation will always be #1 priority, but I can imagine that you really want to take your time when you are caping the elk head for a shoulder mount. Do you just gut the...

    Does this interest you?

    You\'re out deep in the woods, at least 3-5 miles away from where anyone else would go. The area is SCREAMING elk, lots of sign, bedding, good food and cover.... but.... according to the map, the closest water is 1.5 miles away. Well, you find this..... It\'s fairly deep, definitely can stay...

    Rifle is in.... now we begin....

    Replacement recoil pad came in today and my rings. The new one is a little heavier (which I wanted) and the reviews are phenomenal... this pad will be nice! Rings are in, but my rail, scope and bipod are still on their way!
