QUEST

I would have to agree with all the comments on here. Last year my wife harvested a mule deer buck at 762 yards with one shot from my 300 rum 180 Nosler Partition traveling at 3250 fps, no wind. One thing that wasn't mention was bullet construction. You don't need a big magnum to shoot long distances. I've been researching the 7mm WSM and its interesting looking at Berger Bullets with 168 gr its BC .617. If you could get a load that would push 168 gr at 3000 fps well that would be one great set up. quest

That sounds good. If he gets one is he going to get it mounted by a taxidermist? I have a friend that needs a Coues cape call me if he doesn't need it.

Alex sorry I missed you at the meeting point. Got lost too! But I did see 30 Does opening day but no bucks...how about you?

Hey Alex that country looks good around there.

Alex I'll be hunting and was planing on leaving Thursday also. Ya I would like to join you.

I went over there scouting opening day of the Oct hunt. I wouldn't have went if I knew it was opening day. I did scout the south end of the Sierrita mtns. Did run across one hunter with a nice buck. There was a lot of hunters. Seen a few does. I plan on returning there on opening day of the early Nov hunt this week. I'm going by myself and would love to have some company but my partner has to stay home. I'm a little worried about the UDA'S. Border Patrol was thick in those areas. We found lots of clothes and backpacks thrown by the wayside. If there's anyone out there looking for a hunting partner for safety purposes only, I'm available. I plan to go by myself no matter what but like I said, would enjoy the company. quest

Congratulations! Thanks for the great story. I cant wait until I get the chance to spot and stalk. quest

Well we scouted on opening day of the Oct hunt, ha ha. If I had known I wouldn't of went. Anyhow we did see some Coues deer and got to talk to a lucky hunter who had just harvested his buck. A nice 3X3 with eye guards. We also seen some Mule deer. One was a small 2X2 buck. There was a lot of hunter all over the unit (36A). The weather was cool. All in all it was a fun trip and everyone that we talk to and informed them we were just up here to scout for our Nov hunt were real nice. quest

I plan on doing some scouting this coming Friday North West side of the Sierrita Mountains off of 286. I don't know the area. On the map it looks good around Black Hills and north of there. My question is, does any one know the name or number of the roads I could take off of Hwy 286 that would get me in the area around the base of Sierrita Mountains? I did try to look it up on Game and Fish website but it wasn't the info I needed. Any help would be most appreciated. I had a posted this subject awhile back about this unit but am unsure as to how to go back in and search for the info offered. There were some helpful replies and I would like to thank every one that gave me advise especially the person who offered to have me come with them scouting. Unfortunately I was unable to get the time off to go but with them but now I have a window of opportunity and would like to use it. So once again, HELP Please! Thx quest

Ive got a tag for that unit m77. I haven't had a chance to get down there to check it out. Does that unit have a lot problem with illegals? quest

I hope it works for you EdD270. If you need to verify the load info you can call Barns at 1-800-574-9200. This is a high density load. What that means with this powder and load it fills the case and that's why I only went with 58.5 grs you could go more but I didn't like a case that full. So I tapped the side of my cases with my finger after I filled them with powder to settle the powder inside the case. Anyway that load shoots tight groups.
