    Pretty often... most of the time i have already made 1/2 the deer into hamburger so they usually give me a discount

    Wish I could take the time off of work and had the money to go kill a caribou and moose... I have only one question to ask, and this trumps em all..... How many SPOT AND STALK LIONS HAVE YOU KILLED?! Its ok, when I glass one up in December, I'll let you take first crack at him. However, when you miss, I am going to kill him

    This topic has been beat to death, but it is always a good one. I have a good buddy whos wife smoked a toad of a buck with a 22-250 with a Vmax bullet... Granted, we both agree she got lucky as the Vmax is a varmint bullt. It did manage to break the big ole bucks neck. I have killed coues with a 30-06, and 270wsm. I have used 125 ballistic tips out of the 30-06 ( will NEVER shoot a BT for big game agian) as well as a high energy load of Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. I actually found the TBBC on the off side of the deer ( 1/4ing away shot). perfect. I now shoot a 270wsm with a 140 accubond movin at about 3150 FPS. I whacked one deer with the bullet movin 3250, and one at 3150.. both dead deer. When I have guys ask me what to shoot... first off accuracy superceeds any other component. If it were me, I would start at .243 at a bare minimum. of course, a 243 will kill any deer that walks with a perfect shot, but perfect shots are not always offered come hunting season ( no i dont condone taking bad shots), however, if there is a buck out there at the edge of your comfort zone, say 350-400 yards, i want as much power as i can handle to drive that bullet through what ever it needs to be driven through to get to the vitals. 25-06, 257 wby, (lark)270) 280, 7mm.... 30-06... anything above that will work and know the heck out of em but is a lil much. Of course, I carry my 270wsm and LOVE IT!! my dad shoots a 7RUM and that thing is awesome as well!!! Coues have and will be taken with .223 and 22-250, how ever i would never carry one of these rifles unless I had no choice.
