I really like the Stevens 200 rifles. They shoot like they cost alot more. Mine likes 55 grain ballistic tips over AA 2015. Great value. dave.

He bought some win. 55 gr ballistic tips to try but I'm thinking they will make a massive entry hole if he connects with a shoulder or rib. I've shot them with 30 cal soft points while deer hunting and it didnt seem to tear them up too bad. Would a 6mm 100 gr sp make a big exit hole?? Just...

Hey guys. Looking for input on a pelt friendly.243 bullet for coyotes. Buddy would prefer a factory load. He's a taxidermist, and would prefer to lessen pelt damage. It's the only rifle he owns, so it has to be a .243 load. Any help would be great. Thanks. Dave.

What part of illinois are you located? I'm in south of rockford. Gotta be someone that will help ya out. dave

I'd be looking at your grip-torqueing the bow, or maybe shooting a draw thats too long. Does it happen with your first shots of the day also?? Or after a few ends and maybe your getting tired and your not using the right muscles to hold and pull through the shot. Without seeing you shoot or...

Wish I had a better answer for ya. The only personal experience with elk and archery gear was a 25 yd perfectly broadside shot on a big cow. Shot went perfect, watched her fall inside 40 yards with a 125 gr. montec hole in the center of her heart. I think any well constructed b-head would have...

Looks like my 2 friends and I drew our speed goat tags for the gilette area. 3rd yr for me. Can't wait. dcl

Oh Man! I guess I should have checked the map again. 313 goats and elk arent even close to the same area. Sorry for the bad scoop. Have a great hunt. dcl

Hey Mark. Some of the packages of expandables come with a "practice head". Same profile just non-expanding. Saves alot of wear &tear on the hunting heads. Rage and snyper to name a couple. Love the 2 blade rage for deer size game. But i think overall I prefer a good fixed blade. dave

Congrats on a great tag! We were there in Jan.Buddy drew an elk tag. Saw a few rams near the cedar creek drainage. East side of the highway. Saw a great ram across from the devils slide. Literally bedded right up from the parking lot. Met some of the greatest people while out there. Good luck on...

Hey Guys. Sure is a great site. Can't believe all the info on here. Looks like I'm headed to Westcliffe Co. for the second season deer hunt. Buddy has family there. Trying to get some general info about the deer hunting opportunities in the area. Looks like alot of public land to the west of...
