wow, will you be my friend!!??Took a good friend out a couple days ago to try and fill his general tag. Glassed this guy up at 2 miles with several other bulls and cows. After a straight up 2 mile death march we closed the distance to 300yds.
That a a long ways to pack meat out. Hope u someone with horses to get u outGot a couple of backcountry Idaho Elk down. 5x5 on opening day and a spike the next day. Hiked in ~8.5 miles to camp. Both of us had 300 win mags and both shots were around 280 yards.

Wow, what an amazing trip! Congrats.Just returned a few days ago from my first Alaskan hunt…Epic; Exceptional and Exhausting.
Used a small basic Outfitter (excellent, more later)
18 days total, 13 of them hunting due to moving camp 5x and of course weather.

That is some serious velocity...How did the bullets fare?Couple for the freezer with my 6.5 sherman short. Shooting 122gr Cayugas from Patriot Valley Arms at 3375fps

Haven't recovered one yet. Impact velocity on the elk was around 2600fps it absolutely destroyed the chest cavity and exited through the shoulder she was on her feet for about 2 secondsThat is some serious velocity...How did the bullets fare?
I will take a different bullet next time. I like the look of your recovered bullet. I think the ELDX performs better at a lower velocityThat must have made a mess in the chest cavity. I shot mine with a 200gr federal terminal accent. I was surprised it was caught in the off side hide. Mine hit a rib on both sides though. I almost switched to the eldx for this year.

Let‘s see that smokepoleOklahoma muzzleloader season and I'm out with my smokeless. Had a tiny one pop up and thought what the hell. I've never seen a deer actually knocked off it's feet before. That 300 grain bullet at 2900 fps does a number. Took the far side shoulder off. Not a ton salvageable, but it's going to make some good bacon. No pics, but a person could fit their head in the exit wound.
Let‘s see that smokepole
someone got a little carried away on the blaze orange requirements... face painting is not needed. nice buck!So what started as a rough week (post #121) ended well.
Depends who else is in range. I’ve been on public land in WI that I would have liked an APC to get through the line of flatlanders 100 yards from their vehicles.someone got a little carried away on the blaze orange requirements... face painting is not needed. nice buck!

That was actually an issue out in MT too. First day out we got onto a herd and were making a plan to get closer and shift our angle. Noticed the deer started paying attention upwind (into private property, general direction of a residence…downrange, which was the reason we were planning and not shooting). I noticed a little blaze orange dot pop over a ridge on that private land and we almost immediately heard a shot. He was easily inside 250 yards, and 100% missed. They all spooked, jumping the fence onto his private land. He was easily shooting within a 5-10° angle of us. I was pissed. We all backed off the hill and heard a few more shots. Not sure he ever even noticed we were there.Depends who else is in range.

Dandy of a NC buck. What county did you get him in?Pretty decent for flatland NC. These two youngins love eating “big buck.” There was a time they’d pass up a steak for venison. 120 yards with a 168 TMK. He never even twitched. I think the bullet blew up on a bean stalk before impact. Anyone hunt with TMKs?
Northampton. I hate telling folks but that place ain’t no secret no more.Dandy of a NC buck. What county did you get him in?
