    I have no problems picking out deer at a 1000 yards with 15s.  If you need 18s just bring a spotting scope then.   

    I was thinking of 18’s as an alternative to 15’s....... I’ve had Viper 15’s and SLC Swaro 15’s......sold both and switched to Razor 12’s...... the 12’s are nice  just aren’t powerful  enough to pick through Coues country effectively.

    Ideally I’d like twin spotters, but can’t justify packing  the extra weight.

    My first semi custom build was a Remington 700 in  chambered in 300WM. I killed a Bull elk with it at 900 yards and several Coues deer with it. I stayed with a 180 grain projectile for everything. Deer don't do too well when hit with that round, never had to take a follow up shot. It's just a little heavy to carry for steep mountain hunting. 

    I also just bought a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 CM. Son killed an elk with it and has taken one Coues so far. Shooting a 140 grain bullet and its pretty much stock other than a break. I like both rifles for different reasons. My 6.5 is lighter to carry but the 300 has more knock down. I'll probably use the 6.5 more just for that reason. Rounds are easy to find for both rifles.

    Kids Horse! Pack Horse! Grade Mare. 14 years old. Best for young beginner/intermediate rider. She is short, maybe 13 hands? Would make great goat or beginner rodeo horse if someone spent the time with her. Doesn’t have the best neck reign, needs a little more training. Well mannered and easy to be around. Don't have to worry about getting into a wreck with this one!! Easy keeper as well!

     

    She is a little off in one shoulder from time to time, not an issue as long as you don’t hammer her all day. I’ve had her packing loads in the mountains for 5-6 hours straight and she does fine. As long as you take it easy. She's been on several backcountry multi day hunts, not the biggest back horse but she can still carry a 150-200 pounds of dead weight. She's packed a mid size man in the mountains as well and loved it!

     

    Priced to sell!! $1,000 OBO

    Yep, get the antlers and your cape back and take them somewhere else. I like using a good reputable taxidermist. This is something that you are going to hang in your house and look at for years if not decades, to me it makes a lot of sense to pay a little more and have work done by the best. I use Mogollon Taxidermy.
