In hunting pack, or vehicle?

No way. 150 maybe. Class III. Note how much room on the scalp, between the bases.

Years ago, ASU (Tempe) had a lab in the animal sciences dept. or maybe wildlife sciences, where they kept a culture of beatles and would do a skull upon request. Not sure if the guy who ran this function has handed it off to someone else or not, but might be worth giving them a call.

Thanks for sharing that story. What barrel is on your m700? Also, is that a VX-5 or VX-6? CDS or turret? Lucky kids right there!

Same message.

Ram looks like a nelsoni, vs. mexicana. Landscape looks like nelsoni country.

A quick way to judge for age is to look for the old ram with a pot belly and sunken hindquarters.

Man talk about easy on the eyes! Wonderful to see a classic, in a true all-around caliber, treated right by someone who really knows how to shoot. 3031 was what I used in my first .308, a long time ago. Thanks for posting. She is a lucky gal.

That's a good story. Would be great to see a photo of the m70. What load did she use?
-
I will take the 6.5x55. PM me w/ details.

I think that's the .300 mag.

Must be near Concho. Dense population of tweakers I understand.

Hey Zack, Great hunt and write-up. Lifetime trophy right there. With respect to your misfires, I suspect low O2 may not have been the issue. If you could breathe, there was enough O2 to light the fire. I suspect the problem was atmospheric pressure, reducing the concentration of spark at the point where the powder had to catch. Just a guess. Maybe quiz the guys on Monstermuleys.com or Bowsite.com, especially the CO hunters? Thanks for posting.

Funny I know, but hunted with a couple of guys who used them, and they were spotting game like no tomorrow. Young eyes make all the difference.

Ok but what about eye relief? Std. 15x56 are only 14 mm, which means I can't use them with glasses. Without glasses, I still get a pretty decent image, but correction is diopters only, not astigmatism. Does eye relief on the HD 15x56 seem better? I have heard the 10x42 SLC are somewhat underrated.
