I put in for the elk lotto in Ky again. I've got a good feeling about getting drawn this time. In preparation I'm going to build an ol Mauser 98 action I have lying around into a fairly lightweight 35 whelen just in case I get drawn. Wish me luck folks!

Good luck bear. They have a decent population of elk in KY? I shot one in Colorado back in the late 70s with a 7x57 with a 175 grain Hornady at about 90 yards in the high timber. It was young one, about 600 lbs with a forked rack. That was absolutely the best meat I've ever eaten.
BTW, I have a 35 Whelen reamer if you need one for that old 98 Mauser.

looks like i might need to get my bear hunting tag a friend of mine called me said hes got 10 bear sites baited and bears hitting them all and nobody to hunt them said if i want to get my tag i might as well use one of his bait sites guess his economy is hurting even the guides up here he put up 20 sites this year and sold 10 of them to a guide service said he always sold them all in past years but only sold half of them this year the guide he sells them to said even his bussiness is hurting this year
