  1. that country up there holds some great memories for me and it is sad that it has come to this. it used to be called the CV or maybe that's the brand,anyways,a man named Mert used to own it. someone else might remember this, but he used to have buffalo up there in the '80's. my dad paid Mert and was able to shoot one of his buffalo.in high school my best friend always drew archery antelope up there, i would go help out and had a blast.we would also shoot a ton of rabbits up there with our bows.there were always a ton of prairie dogs to shoot up there too.many beers were drank around a campfire.in a sense,that part of the country was a part of my "growing up". there used to be a place for mentally handicap kids i believe. it was called the Starlight,maybe someone else remembers this. i can remember seeing the biggest bull elk i've ever seen in those cornfields out there.sorry for carrying on and on, there's just a lot of fond memories up there.the buffalo are long gone,my best friend has passed on,and now that beautiful piece of country will never be seen by these eyes again.it is truely sad what greed can do.


  2. i have a 300 ultra mag and love it! put a muzzle break on it and it'll kick like a .243. as for "overkill" that makes me laugh. dead is dead. are you not wanting to hurt the animal too much? i've shot elk to javelina with it,and no it didn't hurt the javelina's feelings any worse than a .270 would've.
