"Where are you hunting elk and what are you hunting them with?"
I hunt up on a private ranch in unit 18,maybe 3 miles (as the crow flies) from the south gate of the Rocky Mtn. National Park.
Yes I am spoiled. Those mtns in the background are in the park. This is part of the big meadow on the ranch.
Hopefully I'll be using the rifle pictured below this year. One of my several Krags, .30 U.S. Army. This one is my favorite! Been doing a lot of work to it this past winter and as you can see I did get the new front sight sweated on today! Last elk was taken with my old Husqvarna 146, I rechambered to 9.3 x 62mm. (I like the ol' 30-06 myself even tho I still have a .375 H&H!)
Also stuck in the latest acquisition . Winchester Model 12, 12 ga. modified choke, mfg 1959. Traded my old Auto-5 Browning for it. Wore myself out lugging that old Browning pheasant hunting this year in Kansas. The Model 12 is a bit lighter!
Sorry Sarge, I wanted to give you another "Outdoor Life" cover photo, but we've been getting lots of rain and I cannot get down to my photo spot in the bottom. Too much water!!!!! For a change!!!!!!! Sure beats the past 3 years worth of drought!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the poor photo.......
