    Elk Hunting Caliber

    Given the parameters you have set out, I'd be opting for a 300 RUM or something similar with well constructed bullets. Top end glass will be another consideration. One of the rifles I use a lot for elk is a Sako 75 Hunter chambered for the 7mm STW and topped with a Sightron S-TAC 4x20x50 . I...

    Bear Attack In My Hunting Area

    Maybe if the bears maul/kill a few more of your Snowfalke crowd out there someone will see the need for another hunting season to instill the fear of humans back into the bears. I find it very sad how your provincial gov't treats the hunting sector out there. That would never fly here in Sask...

    Now for Marlin Maniacs!

    I have a Remlin1895 CB in 45-70. Wood to metal alignment is great and the finish and function is perfect. I also have a Marlin 336SC JM stamped 30-30, and other than the trigger pull being quite heavy both guns are excellent shooters. I have taken a mule deer doe with the Remlin but to date...

    Favorite bullet mfg not named Nosler and why

    I voted Other; Woodleigh is my favorite bullet because they work, plain and simple. But they're not cheap or common up here. Other than that I would say Hornady
