CPW RESCUE TIRE-BOUND ELK After a couple years of living life with a tire stuck around its neck, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) were able to finally tranquilize the bull elk and free it of the object. Last weekend, during CPW’s fourth attempt at capturing the animal, officers were able to cut the animal’s five-point antlers and remove the heavy, old tire, the Denver Post reports. “It was tight removing it,” said Scott Murdoch. “It was not easy for sure, we had to move it just right to get it off because we weren’t able to cut the steel in the bead of the tire. Fortunately, the bull’s neck still had a little room to move. We would have preferred to cut the tire and leave the antlers for his rutting activity, but the situation was dynamic and we had to just get the tire off in any way possible.” Murdoch and fellow CPW officer Dawson Swanson responded to the report of the elk by a resident last Saturday. The animal was on private property off of County Road 126 about a mile south of

Shed Hunting 101: Expert Tips for Finding More Antlers This Spring Everything you need to know to find a pile of shed antlers this spring, from the basics of when and where to advanced bone-collecting tips Shed hunting comes at the perfect time of year. Big-game seasons are over in most places, and turkey seasons haven’t started yet. That means most of us are looking for a reason to get outside, and what better reason than a chance to get your hands on some antlers? But even if you’re not a big-game hunter, you should give shed hunting a try. Why? Because hunting for the shed antlers of North America’s deer species (whitetails, mule deer, elk, moose, and caribou) has something for everyone. It gets you outside and exercising at a time of year when not much else is happening, and it can turn into a fun hobby—if not an obsession—that results in a tangible reward. Meanwhile, you’ll be learning more and more about the deer or elk your areas, and for whitetail hunters especially, it can tea

Wyoming reduces number of mule deer and antelope tags There will be fewer tags for Wyoming mule deer and antelope this year. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) decided to reduce the number of tags due to disease and drought, according to Wyoming Public Radio. EHD, or blue tongue, has impacted herds and continuing drought means more competition for available forage. Ian Tator, WGFD’s terrestrial habitat manager, says that “elk will out compete mule deer and [antelope] for vegetation.” “We had an outbreak of blue tongue this last summer, which just means there are that many less animals available,” says Tator. “If those animals aren't there to begin with, we're not going to issue licenses for them.” This means that WGFD will cut the number of antelope licenses by 8,000 and mule deer licenses by 3,300 for the 2022 hunting season. However, there will be an increase in elk tags, which Tator hopes will “give the mule deer and [antelope] populations a chance to grow.” “We're trying t

Review of the Sauer 101 in .308 Win The Sauer 101 in .308 Winchester is a rifle that has been gaining attention among hunters and shooting enthusiasts alike. After spending some quality time with this firearm, I’d like to share my honest thoughts and experiences, discussing both the positives and negatives. Pros: Build Quality: One of the first things that struck me about the Sauer 101 is its remarkable build quality. The rifle feels solid and well-constructed in hand, with no rattles or loose parts. The materials used are of high caliber, which gives me confidence in its durability. Accurate Performance: When it comes to accuracy, the Sauer 101 truly excels. During my testing, I found that it delivered consistent groupings at various distances. The .308 Win is known for its ballistics, and this rifle did not disappoint.

ATA Arms Turqua Gen2 in .308 Win review I recently had the opportunity to try out the ATA Arms Turqua Gen2 in .308 Win with a 61 cm barrel and a 1:11 twist rate, and I wanted to share my thoughts on this rifle. First off, I was really impressed with the build quality of the Turqua Gen2. The materials used feel solid, and the overall construction seems robust. This rifle has a nice balance to it, which makes it quite comfortable to handle. The 61 cm barrel provides a good compromise between accuracy and maneuverability, making it suitable for both range shooting and hunting applications. When it comes to accuracy, the 1:11 twist rate has proven effective. During my testing, I was able to achieve tight groups with a variety of .308 ammunition types. It seems to stabilize the bullets well, giving me confidence in its performance at various distances. The ergonomics of the rifle are quite good. The stock is comfortable, and the controls are intuitive and easy to operate. I appreciated

How to Hunt Africa on a Budget
Chances Are You Can Do It Cheaper Than a Premium <strong>Elk</strong> Hunt
My palms hurt and my knees were bloody from crawling over rocks.

How to Hunt Africa on a Budget Chances Are You Can Do It Cheaper Than a Premium Elk Hunt My palms hurt and my knees were bloody from crawling over rocks. My legs ached. My lungs were threatening to quit on me if I had to climb one more mountain chasing a herd that was skittish to the point of paranoia. The guide and I had pursued them up and over so many mountains and glassed them from so many hidden vantage points that I had no idea how much territory we had covered or how we’d ever find our way back to the truck. When the shot opportunity finally came, it was a long one — 320 yards from our spot on a hill to where the bull was feeding on the opposite ridge. “Hold a foot high,” the guide said, and that turned out to be dead accurate. The cows scattered in a panic at the blast, and not long afterward we were standing over a mature bull I had worked harder for than any animal I’ve taken before or since. Sounds like a fairly typical elk hunt, right? Except it wasn’t an elk and I wasn’t

Review of the Tikka T3 Hunter .30-06 with Leupold Scope on Weaver Rail As an avid hunter who has taken this rifle on numerous hunts, including deer, elk, and even a few challenging trips for wild boar, I feel confident sharing my experience with the Tikka T3 Hunter in .30-06 Springfield. Paired with a Leupold scope mounted on a Weaver rail, this setup has been my go-to for several seasons. Here’s my detailed take on its performance, pros, and cons. Pros: Accuracy: The Tikka T3 Hunter is a laser beam. Out of the box, it consistently delivers sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with factory ammunition. The .30-06 cartridge is versatile, and the rifle handles it beautifully. Whether I was taking a 150-yard shot at a whitetail or stretching it out to 300 yards on an elk, the rifle performed flawlessly. Build Quality: The Finnish craftsmanship is evident. The stock is made of high-quality wood, which not only looks stunning but also feels solid in hand. The blued steel barrel and action a

Dall Sheep (North America) Ovis dalli dalli DESCRIPTION (male) Shoulder height about 38 inches (97 cm). Weight about 180 pounds (82 kg). Females are considerably smaller. Dall sheep are somewhat smaller and slimmer than Stone sheep. The Dall sheep is pure white, with amber hoofs and horns. The horns are slimmer than in other North American sheep, more triangular in cross section and relatively longer. Horn conformation varies with the region, some ranges featuring sheep with tight curls, others with more flare; however, the typical mature Dall ram has horns that flare outward at the tips after making a full curl. Females have short, slender horns. HABITAT Alpine country, including glacier edges, below permanent snow line. Essential elements are steep, rugged cliffs and rock outcroppings for escape from predators, and nearby meadows for feeding.

How to Hunt Alaska on a Budget Have You Ever Tried This? Alaska hunting is the stuff of dreams, yet many convince themselves it’s beyond their reach. This is easy to understand, as guided Alaska hunts are some of the most expensive around. Single-species hunts for mountain goat, dall sheep and brown bear run anywhere from $9,000 to $14,000. A guided hunt for even “commonplace” barren ground caribou might finance a multi-species hunt in southern Africa. For the average working stiff, a do-it-yourself hunt is the only way to enjoy such an expedition. If daunted by such an adventure, especially its costs, I understand. Yet, after 10 Alaska forays of my own, I’m here to say that with plenty of advanced planning and a meager savings-account grab-stake, an Alaska hunt is well within grasp. While the sexiest Alaskan species require the non-resident to hire an outfitter by law, many don’t. These include barren ground caribou, Alaska-Yukon moose, Sitka blacktail deer and black bear — all anima

Roessler Titan 6 .308 Win: отзыв охотника, прошедшего с карабином огонь и воду Roessler Titan 6 у меня уже несколько лет, и я брал его на разную дичь – от косули до кабана. Калибр .308 Win – это классика, и в Titan 6 он раскрывается неплохо. Но давайте по порядку, без прикрас. Что понравилось (Преимущества): Точность: Вот тут Roessler Titan 6 действительно хорош. С хорошим патроном (я предпочитаю Sako или Norma) он показывает стабильные результаты. На 100 метрах можно спокойно укладывать пули в круг диаметром с монету. Это важно, когда нужно сделать чистый выстрел по зверю. Система перезарядки: Прямоходный затвор – это песня. Быстро, плавно, удобно. Особенно это чувствуется на загонной охоте, когда счет идет на секунды. Плюс, меньше движений – меньше шансов спугнуть зверя. После привыкания к прямоходу на другие карабины смотреть не хочется. Универсальность: Благодаря сменным стволам (у меня их несколько, разных калибров) Roessler Titan 6 превращается в конструктор. Сегод

Sako S20 в калибре .308 Win Отзыв о карабине Я охотник со стажем и на протяжении нескольких лет использую разнообразные карабины, но Sako S20 в калибре .308 Win стал настоящей находкой. В этом отзыве поделюсь своим опытом использования данной модели, обсудим плюсы и минусы, а также особенности, которые я заметил в процессе охоты. Sako S20 Плюсы: Качество сборки и материалов: Sako всегда славится своей надежностью и качеством, и S20 не исключение. Материалы, использованные в производстве, вызывают доверие, а сборка не оставляет ни малейших сомнений. Разнообразие стволов: Я выбрал модель с 61 см стволом и канелюрами. Это дает ощущение легкости и уменьшает общее сопротивление при стрельбе. Канелюры не только облегчает карабин, но и улучшают теплопроводность, что важно при длительных стрельбах. Отличная балансировка: Карабин Sako S20 отлично сбалансирован, что делает его удобным для длительной охоты. Я заметил, что при стрельбе даже на дальние дистанции усталость рук приходит гораздо

10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 1) These classic hunting rifles bring a good dose of nostalgia, and plenty of real-world performance 1. Springfield Armory Model 1903 Sporter Many, if not most, of our modern bolt-action hunting rifles have their roots in military rifles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After the World Wars, an abundance of surplus rifles was quickly taken advantage of by hunters. The 1903 Springfield was commonly “sporterized” by pulling the action and putting it in a shorter, more-handy “sporter” stock. Of course, they were often re-barreled, re-chambered, and highly-modified for specific hunting purposes—all based around the robust 1903 action. It was common for gunsmiths to “sporterize” surplus rifles for customers, turning them into heirloom hunting rifles. If I was to buy one, I’d take the original .30/06 chambering, although they were often re-barreled in other calibers like .270 Win. The 1903’s action was built for battle, a

They are the largest deer that ever lived, and went extinct between 8,000 and 6,000 years ago. They earned the name Irish elk because so many bodies were preserved in Irish peat bogs. These massive ungulates weighed between weighed 990-1,520 pounds and stood as tall as an Alaskan moose at 6 feet 11 inches at the shoulders! The size of their antlers was utterly staggering. In fact, that is very likely the cause of their extinction. Many agree that their huge antler size may have contributed to a mineral deficiency which ultimately killed the animal off. So at least it wasn’t humans!

Wines to Pair with Fowl Turkey, goose, pheasant? A free-range chicken, or even a capon? The time of the season seems to indicate fowl. We kind of like the idea, since it is out of the ordinary to roast a big bird for a festive feast, the kind of bird that can feed a dozen. With that comes wine challenges, though to say “challenge” is stretching the truth. That truth is almost any wine can match nicely with a big bird roast, plenty of vegetables, maybe a grilled romaine salad with parmesan and homemade croutons. Some choices: Evolve Cellars pinot blanc ($15), almost Alsatian in style with its crispness, but it is distinctively Okanagan as well, with its viscosity and herbal notes, surrounded by delightful stone fruit elements. A sensationally good sparkling wine, the Cipes Blanc de Franc ($45) from Summerhill Pyramid Winery, is a sparkling cabernet franc, which will turn heads, and have people coming back for more, so you may need to have two bottles.

Hunting in Finland Hunting is part of the traditional way of life and living in our northern nature. Finland was originally inhabited in pursuit of game and fish. It continues to be an important form of recreation and a means of getting food. The busiest hunting season starts on August 20, the opening of the water fowl hunting season. The Finnish Wildlife Agency has drafted a guide for foreigners for getting the required permits. In Finland, a hunter must pay the annual Game Management Fee. In addition, hunters must have a hunting permit for the area where they plan to hunt. For some game animals, such as elk, a hunting permit granted by the Finnish Wildlife Agency is required. Game animals may only be hunted in their assigned hunting seasons. Further information is available at The Finnish Wildlife Agency. Permits for hunting are granted by the owner of the land.

First off, the build quality of the SXR Tracker is impressive.

Picking the Best Rifle and Caliber for Pig Hunting Do you need a magnum setup or a fast-shooting semi-auto? Probably, your deer rifle will work just fine Pig Reality There’s a reason gun nuts love pig hunting. In southern states like Texas and Florida, hogs aren’t subject to many game laws, which means you can hunt them with about whatever you please. If you have a magnum rifle that never sees the light of day because, after buying it, you realized cracked clavicles are no fun at all, you can use it on pigs. In fact, some of the advice out there suggests that you need a really big gun for hog hunting, because you never know when a true Hogzilla might make an appearance. On the other hand, plenty of would-be hog hunters show up with high-capacity semi-autos and visions of a mag dump against a marauding horde of pork. Those rifles are fun to shoot and plenty accurate enough, but unless you’re shooting from a helicopter, they rarely give you much of an advantage while pig hunting. Tru
