    30-06 ammo for elk

    Ok thanks for the info, im new to the rifle thing because we were shotgun only for deer hunting up to a few years ago. I think I'm going to get some of what you mentioned above and see what I like on target.

    30-06 ammo for elk

    When I went to buy a new rifle I wanted one that I can hunt everything with. I didn't want to buy a bunch of rifles. What I mean by overkill is I don't want to ruin a bunch of meat when I'm deer hunting. If you expect narrower wound channels I'm fine with that.

    30-06 ammo for elk

    So in one part of the video, it's says to have a 1 in 12 twist? My x bolt is 1 in 10, is that a problem?

    30-06 ammo for elk

    Thanks for all the replies, keep them coming. Is the 178 grain a little over kill for deer? Right now I shoot the 150 grain sst, but I've talk to a couple outfitters in Montana and they said don't come if your shooting the sst's. They just don't work well on elk they said.

    30-06 ammo for elk

    So I have a 30-06, im not going to buy a new rifle. I'd like to find an ammo that I could use on deer and elk. Something I can shoot out to at least 400 yards. The one bullet I've been looking at is barnes vor-tx 168 grain ttsx. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated thanks!

    Two wheel drive tractors

    Depending on if you get snow or not, I would recommend getting chains if you get a 2WD. I have a John Deere 2WD 2640 with a loader. Works great. It's about 55-60 hp.

    Savage model 11 in .243 win pre accutrigger

    I found one and I'm looking to buy it for my kids starter rifle. It's used obviously, looks brand new yet. My question is have any of you heard of problems with this rifle? Anything I should look for as far as problems? It is at a gun repair/dealer shop in Northeast Wisconsin, they have new and...

    Finally Retired ... Now What?

    A buddy of mine who is a navy seal once told me to get up everyday at 4 am. It sets the tone for the whole day, you get so much more done. I started doing this a few years ago, I get so much more done in a day. Like I said it just sets the tone for the day.

    If you could pick one state to retire in

    After reading some of the posts, im kinda glad I live where I live. I mean I would move to Iowa in a heartbeat but I'm ok with staying where I live. So I'd have to say, move to Wisconsin.

    Plots for Turkey

    If you have a farmer near by ask him to haul some manure on your plots, free fertilizer and turkeys will pick through that for weeks.

    Wisconsin Gun Opener Saturday

    In your case I feel bad for saying what I did. But in many cases, there are so many non resident guys that come in to just shoot a buck and kill every doe they see because tags are cheaper than almost every other state. Rant over

    I sure wish the Wisconsin DNR would up the price of non resident licenses.
