Yes I have taking a deer with my .243 and it was my first. It was an antlerless deer in kaibab at about 50 yards and it stopped in its tracks. I just listed the first guns that had came to my mind. I apologize for no .30-06 and other guns that are good for deer.

I don't know if that is a real way of hunting.

I have wounded one animal and found him the next morning, but I still believe that I am a rookie because the other 3 big game animals I have gotten have dropped in there tracks.

I was not on a range. I was just outside of Florence Junction shooting into a water hole berm.

I will be shooting a .300 win. mag and I am going to be out at the range hopoefully every other weekend until the hunt starting next weekend. I am going to be ordering some ammo for it soon and was wondering what the best ammo is for it that is under $30 a box.

I will be out every other weekend shooting probably a box or so just so when I get that shot I will not miss.

Well I got out shooting and I have decided to shoot the Remington 150 grain core likt soft points. I was able to shoot at 300 yards with a 3 inch pattern with 10 shots so hopefully I can get a shot like that this year.

Tell me was she hot.

Congrats that is a nice buck still I would love to get one like that.

I'm sorry about that, but I will be watching for it.

That is a great pic there. I hope that I can get a chance at a lion this year while out for deer.

I am thinking very serious about this and so far I am getting some 165 fail safe, the 150 and 180 rem. core-lokt and hornady sst in 150 just so i can find out what shoots best. Thanks for all the input guys.

That is what I shoot right now, but I would like something that will hold up a little better since the y are soft points.

Treestandman great story. Make sure you post if he got one or not.

35b is full nice couse bucks. My dad found a shed in that unit in some steep canyons while hunting mearns. The shed was a 9 point and had great mass. A couple of the tines have broken off over the last couple of years, but it is still a trophy in my mind.

I have a .300 win. mag. and that is an amazingly flat shooting bullet, but the 7 mm is also a great bullet. In my opinion it is just each persons preferences.

Got mine today also.

How much for a tripod on this site. I need a tripod for my 8 x 42 wind rivers. I know that they are not great for couse because they lack power, but they are crystal clear and get the job done.

I have been hearing alot about lions in 36c, but I have hunted down there 3 years and scouted a ton of times for pig, but have never seen a lion in the unit. I have seen a couple of bobcats and a lot of coyotes.

Just wondering how many people have tags for this hunt. Also if anybody know where there is a good population of whitetail and would like to share that would be great. I know of one place in the unit where I would like to go.

All of those deer are nice. Hopefully I will be able t opost my pics in there after I get mydeer this year

I am fimiliar with the unit since I have hunted javelina in that area for 3 years. I have only hunted the hills once though and I saw the whitetail then. Other then that I have only seen muley's on the flats.

The closest I have got a stalk on was just practice, but I got about 25 yards away. Averagley I think aobut 50 yards is what I can do with the right wind.

Anywhere around Pine should be good. I have seen some nice 5 by 5 elk in ther, but have not been able to see any nice 6 by 6 though. Also check the game and fish website. Good Luck.

I had an antlerless tag there 2 years ago and hunted the west side. If it weren't for the antlereless tag I would have been able to drop a beautiful 5 by 6 on that hunt. If I were you I would go down the 212 past the 282 and there are alot of aspen groves with stock tanks in that area. If you would rathere want to glass a little bit you will see a big meadow off to your left off the 212. That is were Igot my deer, and saw that big brute. There is a stock tank up there, lots of food, and they have all the shelter they will need withing about 100 yards so I would recomend that area. Good Luck.
