When people think of Mossberg, I really doubt elk hunting comes to mind, but I'm hoping y'all can help me as I plan my trip :arrow:
Right now this is still a dream, one that I really hope will come true. I've set a target of November 2014, but depending on how life goes it may end up being 2015. Either way, everyone I talk to says start preparing early. I'm trying to buy equipment now, so that next year when I start booking everything I won't have to worry about having money to get equipment. I'm going to start a checklist in this thread and I hope that you all will have some advice for me on what to get. I'll update it as necessary
A good website I've been using: http://www.elk-hunting.org/
I have:
The rifle, but I still need some advice on the set up - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3356
The Vehicle: http://www.355nation.net/forum/projects ... hread.html
I need:
Binoculars and/or spotting scope - viewtopic.php?f=126&t=3942
Shooting Sticks and/or bipod - I'm used to shooting off hand or leaning against trees, I'm not really sure what the terrain will be like so I have no idea what to do here.
Calls :?:
More pertinent details:
I'm looking at hunting in Montana or Colorado.
I want to do a Self Guided Hunt, partially to save money, but mostly because I want the satisfaction of shooting something I found.
Ranches I've looked at:
