Killed a mule deer buck at 300 yards, DRT. Killed a whitetail buck at 180 yards, went 25 yards. Both with the 7mm 162. Recovered the bullet from the mule deer, full penetration to opposite side, core and jacket separated but wounding was massive. It also shoots really well. I like accubonds...

Agreed on the 6.5 CM being light-ish for elk. That said, you could do worse. Seems everyone knows someone who's taken elk down "just fine" at reasonable ranges with a .25, .26 or even the .243! 7mm-08's are right in there too and quite popular in the elk woods around here. I think the 6.5...

So I've had the kimber out 3 times now. I did not do a "barrel break-in" consisting of shoot-clean-shoot-clean, either. First trip, shot 12 rounds. Went home, cleaned. Second trip 20 rounds, went home and cleaned. Third trip 27 rounds, cleaned, etc. The best I've been able to do is .75"...

Here's a pic of my Kimber 84m Hunter in 6.5CM. Weighs 6lbs 13.3oz's with a Leupold VX-6 2-12 scope on Talley Lightweight lows, empty mag. Chrono'd at 2890fps average at the muzzle with Hornady Superformance 129grn SST's out of the 22" barrel. Handles really well. Plan is to carry it for Deer...

I believe it's all been said here (and many other places, frankly). Only ways to meaningfully change draw odds is to increase supply and/or reduce demand. I do not agree with having longer lay-outs than we already have. Maybe no layouts(except OIL) and pick your species would be a decent...

Deer, Idaho!

No Sheep tag for me. Expected with such long odds, but hey, some one has to draw.

Signed. Man, this garbage pisses me off!

Sheep!

Way to stay with it! Sounds like you really earned that bull!

Great looking buck. Congrats to her!

Getting camp setup today, season opens Tuesday. Hope these bucks are still into it. Can't wait!

Beautiful deer, congrats!

I got another week to wait :(

Great looking bucks. Nice Job!!

Yup. Done.

Nice work fellas! Looks like you had fun.

Wow, great job!

Great bull! Looks like fun!

Nice looking buck and mount. Enjoy.

Great buck. I'd be happy to tag one like that on my hunt this year. Thanks for the pic.

Ditto. Very disappointing that this is so common.

Congrats on the nice animals! Enjoy that awesome moose meat :)

LAST EDITED ON Nov-01-14 AT 08:22PM (MST)[p]Agreed. There are lots of whitetails all over the north end of the state. I know guys or have family that do well in the areas near Bonner's Ferry, Sandpoint, Rathdrum, St. Mary's, Moscow, Lewiston, Orofino, Kamiah, Grangeville. Hunting cuts can...

Congratulations! A very fine Idaho buck, good work!

2014 Idaho whitetail

Nice buck! It's nice to feel like you've got a bunch of country to yourself. Congrats.

Congrats to you and your son! Sounds like you had a good time.

And the fun continued on the 20th, in a different location. I had planned a hunt with a friend from work who missed out on his family elk hunt in a draw unit. We had planned to go on the 19th-21st to elk hunt together. My elk and deer tags were filled but I still had a bear tag and my...

Awesome pic, congratulations!

Haha! Yeah, I don't know why I do that. Coffee helps calm the nerves after a shot I guess.

That's a really nice looking bull moose! Congrats!

Couple of really nice bucks there. Good job!

Went out last Friday/Saturday with my Dad and had a very busy couple of days. Best opening weekend for our family maybe ever. Friday 6:45 am - While hiking in to where I wanted to look for an elk, I spooked a nice whitetail buck in a clear cut. He was picking his way out when he stopped for a...

Good lookin bull there. Enjoy that meat!!

Hell of a bull there. Kudos to your sis!

Fantastic looking deer, congrats!
