Brass is still tuff to get for reloading too. I got plenty for now, but next year better find it , or un happy will become desperation.... Still better to reload that one for sure though...

Still looked like a bull i would have been happy to take home...

Congratulations...

I have certainly seen a lot of bulls this year in that unit.

Whats your mule deer hunts been like this year, and in what area? Weather been mostly warm lately i believe. Sure was windy and nasty for a few days though, and a little snow. Any nice buck pics?

Hopefully it will get some deer moving. But it may not be enough winter yet.

Should find ammo for the 6.8 now. But, once the current pile is gone it may not see manufacture again for a long time, or by many at all. Extremely tough to get reloading components for too. I doubt that will get better. Shame, it is very interesting cartridge design.

I will be in the type 2 area unfortunately. Good luck on your elk hunt.

Type 1 or 2 tag? I will be there near Crandall this upcoming week. Should be some snow when i get there but probably going to warm up and melt most all of it in next couple weeks. May snow again by the last week of Octobers end.

SST bullets get an awful bad wrap from some people. I have used them for deer for years and have nothing to complain about. They almost always go straight down. Not a performer past 400yrds. though.

Too many great rifles out there for less. I personally would build one at that price from a good off the shelf doner rifle. But that does take time.

I made the mistake of thinking the deer and elk stayed high till weather pushed them out to search for food lower. Mostly because that is what I was told. WRONG.... Many mule deer will be just about any place they feel safe and have food to keep them happy. Some won't travel very far...

Mild steel weld (acetylene torch) with silver solder. Wrapped in a wet rag and laid in a boll of cold water. Still holding and looking good. Sanded and buffed with abrasive compound.

I would bring it home in your luggage. Wrap it up and seal in a plastic bag.

You can, as a nonresident, go into wilderness areas and do everything but harvest a big game animal. You can hike ,scout ,camp,hunt small game and coyotes. Just no big game...... .
