Big or Bust

Something in 6.5 or 7mm burning 45-60 grains of powder with a bullet with a BC of 0.5+ in a rifle with a reliable tracking scope that is no more than 8 pounds all up. This will get you to 700 yards... Take your pick...

It's happened to all of us Adam -

Great spotter! Good guy bump...

Shirts are sold pending funds.

I'm switching to all Kuiu merino stuff and have some like new Kuiu Peloton Crew-T SS and LS shirts in Vais camo for sale. All are XXL. I am 6'1 195 and have broad shoulders. Trust me, if you wear a large shirt anywhere else, these XXL will fit you perfectly. I wear large and glad I got XXL. Some have been worn once. Some haven't been worn at all. Washed and hanger dried once the ones worn once. Not a blemish on any one of them. Look perfect. I have 3 LS and 3 SS. $20/each. I am in the Tucson area and can do a FTF this weekend. I can ship on your dime. Prefer to sell all 6 as a package. First I'll take it on this thread or via PM's gets it. PM me and I will provide a phone # to text you photos if you want it. They look like a new shirt would.

Great job Lance....

Sportsman's visit! I saw them there yesterday.... Was the 8 pounds of H100 there still?

A3 killed a giant... Picture not released yet...

Solo pics on a 300 pound dude is tough. All I take are bad ones. He's got 39" of mass - 17+ inch G2's... free upload pictures

That's good - A Creedmore is nowhere near 1,000 yard hunting capable. Not enough horsepower... The better question for you is to start from the start. What are you capable of and what is your maximum range for hunting?

All my rifles are at or under 8 1/4 pounds all up and all are 800 yard capable in hunting conditions. I've seen myself do it...

What is long range to you?

Hi Tom - do you gave hunts for deer in southern AZ? Would love to volunteer or guide this year or future but the elk dates above I cannot. Thanks -

Yeah - creeper for sure...

Yeah - he's a big boy - He's 190"+ all day long... How close to 200" is he? He might already be there...

Dude? Great guy bump. World class spotter here....

Great job man!

Great job but you are making things so difficult with your scope/rifle setup. Way easier ways to get on target than having to constantly hold somewhere other than where you want the bullet to impact and it'll probably improve the shooting.

Yeah - John is a great dude but man he is busy as he's the best around. I keep telling him to up prices or triple his dudes...grin...

Great story. Love it....

Unless he was within a mile of a different unit, I'd not discount that old wise buck changing his habits of activity. I've hunted deer over 180" every year during rifle season for the past few years and have only killed a few. A few over 200" and some nearing 220" I've hunted. All southern AZ deer. I've seen them in the exact same area after the rifle season but not during even though the buck was there 6 days before rifle season.... That first quad noise or shot, I know it sounds standard BS, will change his habits overnight. 2 seasons a year at least for 7+ years (14+ seasons at least likely) will educate fast... I'd hunt all day in the area you last saw him and adjacent "escape areas". Glass the flats literally all day in adjacent areas. Have you had the camera up at same water? If so, how often did he water and has he appeared at water since Friday relative to the amount of days between his normal watering habits? He may completely bail but I wouldn't count on it. He's just smart. Unless you have backup deer, I'd keep hunting him. Good luck -

Manners makes a nice stock...

Great buck - good luck killing him. If you do show us some pics.

Thanks.

Do you know the weight without bipod? Thanks.. Bathroom scale fine... Has the rifle been bedded? Barrel length?
