    Electronic Communication on the Moutain

    I wouldn't go with out them, we have Garmin AlPHA that can track the other handhelds also. We don't use them to pursue game but to make sure everyone is ok and don't need help getting an animal off the mountain. We turn them on at 9,12,3 and after dark check in. Sometimes the midday you may not...

    Best Muzzleloader (Colorado) for Elk!!!

    That's your best setup IMO. My gun didn't like Thors. But everyone elses in the group shoots them very well. You wont believe the the penetration you can get from them. I have Killed 3 bulls with 300 or 338 grain powerjunks over 120 of pyrodex select. They work but usually come apart.

    High country elk

    The best help I can offer is: don't be at the truck with 10 min of shooting time left. When you find elk sign stay there till dark. Walk out in the dark. Be back there the next morning in dark. Find a spot to glass if available. These elk been hunted for weeks now. The first and last minutes of...
