The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

Love the alpine bucks....
to bad its the same distance drive for me to be into caribou elk sheep and goats... I’ll have to put the alpine deer on hold for now. They taste better rutted out in November anyways right? =S

Congrats on the big alpine buck Dino!

Valid point .... alpine hunts, although difficult, are very rewarding and a ton of fun ... but if I lived up north or out east, I'd probably spend most of my time hunting elk too
And I dont know how it is with elk, but with the rise in popularity of Instagram, YouTube, sitka & kuiu it seems everyone wants to be a "mountain athlete" these days.
There are more people hitting the back country than ever before. Either people are becoming richer or gear is becoming more affordable but it seems everyone can afford a quad and all the backpacking essentials to get deep into the back country these days.
No shortage of high end glass either. Ran into a couple of guys last year that had more in Swarovski optics than all of my gear put together on me AND back at home!

Nice buck, I love the alpine.

Don’t get me wrong
alpine mule deer is high on my list.
But to get a elk or caribou would supply me with enough meat for the year and then I can be choosy with my deer.
Northern Rockies is just a amazing place to be.
Lots of wannabes with money to look the part, but could they spend even 1 night alone in the mountains?
