Has anyone ever attended a RMEF dinner or banquet?
Im going to one March 19th and I cannot wait!
Lots of cool prizes, good food and we get to talk about elk :upthumb:
I\'ve never been to one before, so I have high hopes!
Where was the worst elk recovery you\'ve ever had?
I\'ve seen quite a few bulls that magically lodged themselves under blowdowns or roll directly down steep cliffs.
So where is the worst place you\'ve ever recovered a bull?
Mine would be my 2015 bull. He died in about 3 feet of mud and...

I\'ve always shot a 3 pin, but with my new set up I went to a 5 pin.
So I am sitting here trying to figure out what I want to do for a pin setup and I\'ve come up with three separate setups.....
My first two are based off the fact that I read about and have heard of too many people messing up...
So it turns out we have this awesome call sponsor named Trav, and from what I am told he makes pretty awesome calls ;)
So, you know..... Im gonna give another one away for you guys to try!!!!!!
This one is pretty simple.
To enter, post your favorite and most motivating elk hunting video that...
Are you overdue for an elk in the freezer? So are you shooting the first legal elk you see?
Maybe it\'s the complete opposite, you shot a monster the past few years and will not shoot anything under 350\"?
What kind of game plan do you have going into this year?
Or are you like me and it...
Just as an FYI
We have been getting overrun with spammer stuff this week.
You guys have been great at notifying us, so thank you for that.
If anything else pops up, please message a moderator or text me and I will delete it and block them.
Thank you all for your help.
How big is your current elk arrow?
My last two years I was running on the light side shooting a 396 grain arrow.
With my new bow I decided to add some weight and I am now shooting 494 grains :upthumb:
It\'s come to my attention that sometimes Wyoming has leftover tags for units that have grizzly bears in them.
My question is, are people scared of the grizzly bears or do they hinder the elk population?
I have zero experience with grizzly bears, but if the units are good, I\'d almost want to...
Does anyone on here have an AR they built for predators?
I have an AR just sitting in my closet and I was thinking about doing a few things to it for a solid coyote and hog gun.
What did you all do to yours?
With my 2015 season officially being over (my oryx hunt was a 15 tag) I decided to do an inspection.
I knew some things needed to be fixed, but it turned out to be horrible.......
Horrible, but very fortunate that I found it before something very bad happened....
For starts and perhaps the...
Turkey season is coming up and I know we have a lot of excited people :upthumb:
So I figured we have some more friendly competition and run another contest :mg:
The contest is open to all members on the forum and will run from now until May 31st. If your season runs any longer than that...
Are you a steaks and ground elk person?
Do you make jerky or summer sausage?
What is the percent break down that you do?
For me I am a steak and ground person myself.
I generally do 75% of it into ground and then 25% steaks!
I am sure we are all deep within our planning phases for this year.
So with that being said, how many days are you taking for your elk hunt this year?
I have 14 days set aside :D
What does everyone do for turkey decoy set ups?
I see so many recommendations out there, what works best for you?
I have a jake and a hen, I am trying to figure out what I should do. :think:
Does anyone here have a custom knife?
I just use a buck knife, but I am thinking about ordering a custom knife for hunting and a custom butcher set.
My goal is to find enough sheds this year to trade a knife maker for what I want or find enough to sell them and pay for what I want cash.
Id...
Do we have any hardcore glassers on here?
After seeing and using expensive glass this weekend for my oryx hunt, it really opened my eyes to what some nice glass can do for you...
Does anyone on here glass a lot? Did you buy once cry once?
Or did you get by with some basic stuff?
I am really...
And a couple of us on here will be pulling into Tim\'s driveway to take out his turkey population....
:upthumb: :upthumb: :upthumb: :upthumb: :mg: :mg: :mg:
Prepare for Timfest, 2016!
With me moving soon, I want to do a nice target build for my next yard.
I\'m thinking some type of enclosure to put either hay bales in or whatever that compressed whitebox is that some people use. (cardboard?)
What do other people have?
What do you guys do?
Im not sure if I want to make one...
As we all know, there is always a winter lull. We\'ve been beaten down by the hunting year before, the holidays hit, the weather gets wild and elk always seem to fall to the back of your mind. (not all of us at least :crazy: )
My question is when does it really start eating away at you again...
