Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Cow elk and the 243 Winchester

Hilarious.

For those that pay attention...good things happen.

You'll find out pretty quick there are those in the know, and those that THINK they are...

Please explain the 100% draw rate for your non-resident nephew........with no preference points.

Do you know how many preference points it normally takes for a non-resident to draw just a general tag?

Looking forward to your response.

Do you know any of the Werners in Douglas, by chance?



More to come.....

That tag is definitely a 100% draw for NR! Good luck Buzz. Hope you find the nephew a good bull buddy!

LOL

I have a few more questions for BuzzH..........when he returns. These experts sure know how to humble a common guy.



Where is WAM with his alarms?

More to come.......

"When you find yourself in a hole....."

Fire up the backhoe.

Of the elk I've killed, I can think of only one shot I wouldn't have taken with the 243 - the rest would have been just as dead had I been using a 243. I'd not feel handicapped or under-gunned were I told I could only elk hunt with a 243 the rest of my life.

But I'm not from Iowa...

Great post, Brad.

Piling on..........while BuzzH has me on the ropes.

Guy shot this one with a 7mm Mag.........but 243 would have been the same.

Another guy shot this one with a 7-08........but 243 would be same.....that's a fact.

After all......a .308 is just a necked-up .243.

Us Iowans know nothing, especially when it comes to drawing odds.

I really like this place.

TFF

LOL

Well, hey Brad. At least I’ve worked down to a 284 Win. 😉

Mike
Maybe if you took more time reading the Wyoming regs and understanding the draw instead of on the internet acting like a know it all. You would understand that it is indeed 100% odds for the tag his nephew drew.

Give him a moment to overcome his inertia.

Mathman.........you're a numbers guy..........do you buy into the 1000 ft/lbs recommended by your beloved gunwriters.......on deer sized game?

Feel free to show your work.

Post your information.......805. Zone 7, non-resident, bull tag, no preference points........which is what we were discussing. 100% draw.

No Wagonhound.............BuzzH is finding him a decent bull.......remember?

Unless....of course.......all those elk were shot on Wagonhound.

More questions for Buzz, when he returns.



I like this place.

Buzz is like the Tank Murdoch of elk hunting.......with a little scenarshooter mixed in.

Where you at......little, short, chubby guy?

I think I've seen you......rolling out of the truck a couple times.......north of the public property boundaries.

Sure hope there are no challenges in the future.

I am just a common guy.

Hint!!!!!
More coming.....

The only thing you've likely seen of me is my tracks, dust, or the dead elk carcasses....as you try to keep up.

BuzzH........as you should know.......Rodneys biggest conviction resulted from an internet picture.

Hint.

Let the games begin.

Do you know Matt? Or, any of the Werners from Douglas?

What about 'Slicks Gun Shop'?

Really like this place.



More coming.........from just a common guy.

Anyone ever hear that mousetrap snap?

I don't know any Werners....but I do know this guy. I helped him pack this raghorn out of designated wilderness, and several others elk he's killed with a .243 and 100 grain nosler partitions.



Good friend, who I asked one day, after I watched him kill 2 elk in about 3 minutes with his .243 just how many elk he's shot with it. He had to think about it, and said, "over 40 for sure".

Gets after the elk and the work pretty good for a guy 78...

What kinda diversion is that, BuzzH?

Does not surprise me you know nothing of the Douglas Werners, Rodney, or Matt.

Do an internet search........you'll look less stupid.

Where is the 100% bull draw.....in zone 7?

LOL

Expert hunters intimidate me.

Sure hope there's no challenge..........from one of the great ones.

scenarshooter, with BuzzY........may equal one 'old' lean tough guy.

Super surprised we've never seen you out there.

TFF

Keep looking, you'll figure it out...or not.

I'm not surprised you haven't seen me out there...I dont spend a month to kill an elk out there, like I said, rarely more than a day.

If you savvy that country worth a chit...there was wayyyy more than enough background in one of the pictures to know exactly where it was taken.

Should be able to figure where these were taken too...was waiting on a couple friends from Wisconsin to show up. While I waited found maybe 2-3 hundred elk on publicly accessible land. They made good once they showed up and each took cows later in the day.



Pretty long poke on this one, just a pinch over 620 with a 7-08.



A good friend of mine from MT shot one first from the same herd:



This should look familiar...you've mentioned it:



Buddy and I zapped two about 10 minutes after I took the above photo:





Honestly, you have to be the worlds chittiest elk hunter to have spend even 3-4 days killing elk out there.

Had a buddy from MT show up one day about noon...told him I may know an area out there that had elk.

Took a quick spin...found these:



Worked out right fair...put a great stalk on this bunch.

Let my buddy shoot first, I plucked one that hung around too long and filled my 3rd WY elk tag for the season.

I just want to say to ALL the PM'ers......

Yea.....you all know BuzzH is full of it......as do I.

Have the stones to say it yourself........without my proof.

Open ground, fencelines........everyone knows.

He's Tank Murdoch!

A little group of elk...........WOW!

He's a chubby, little, short-legged guy.....

but he has shot a couple elk.

Napoleon syndrome.

Hope no challenges!!!!!!!
