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...

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!!
