That thing was unreal. I was curious though why they wouldnt have given him a couple more weeks? With the rainfall that thing woulda added 2-4 on every tine wouldnt it?

You are thinking of the Jordan Buck. The 25-20 generates less than 500FT#'s and is actually no longer legal in Wisconsin where the buck was taken. I believe the buck was shot a bunch of times. Still the World Record Typical at over 200" for over 80 years. Lot of story around it. You are right. Just remember reading a story when I was a kid about it and thinking that I should take the 25-20 deer hunting since the world record was killed with it!!!

Cool cartridge. Not a lot of practical use but neat anyhow. I got one from my grandpa, a Winchester model 53. I was gonna try to fill a whitetail tag with it in ND and then got to looking at the velocity of the 86gr bullet and decided it wasnt enough!! I think the hole in the Horn (old world record eastern whitetail) was killed with a 25-20 though!!

I dont know if it is an option in AZ or not, but when my step dad was killed in a car accident a few years back, NM allowed us to transfer his oryx tag to my moms name. She had never hunted big game. My brothers and I all hunted with her and she shot a giant oryx in honor of him. It was a pretty cool thing in the wake of a really crappy time. I think it would be really cool to donate it to hunts for heroes as well.

I would look hard at getting a guide. Thats a once in a lifetime tag. The dates are pretty favorable but the genetics in those NE units arent what southern Utah and AZ have. Ive never hunted that unit but have hunted NE Utah and you have to look at 50 6pts to find a 330 bull and 150 to find a 350+ bull. Not saying they arent there, just that its gonna take some luck and perseverance to get a giant in there. If youre just looking for a fun DIY hunt and havent killed a 330 bull then you shouldnt have a trouble. If youre hoping for a 380 then youll wanna do a looooot of scouting or hire a guide. Youre probably looking at 50-70 degrees during the day and 25-40 at night in mid sept. I would do exactly what you were talking about and take my bow in there sept 8 or so and be ready to smoke one on rifle opener. Good luck! Awesome tag to have!

Same link I posted above. Please read. Being skeptical of the liberal agenda and being a baffoon dont have to be one and the same. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/03079457309353796

Why do you NEED all copper? Lead kills the condor after it eats your deers remains. When you are drawn for a tag north of the Colorado river you recieve a coupon with your tag for a free box of ammo or 50 all copper/ non lead bullets to reload. That's not a NEED. There has never been a single condor or waterfowl die from ingesting lead fragments or shot. I will be using PRBullets on my 12a hunt. Im a died in the wool research everything I hear pessimist, but Im also a scientist with a degree in zoology. It is a proven fact that ingested lead will kill birds. Keep an open mind and dont disregard things just because you think its the liberals agenda, it makes us all as hunters look bad. We are stewards of all wildlife whether we like it or not. Use copper or haul out your gut pile. Ill stick with copper if there are condors around as its easier. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/03079457309353796

Is this gun good enough for deer hunting at 1000 yards?

Congrats Bob!!! Arent you glad we set you straight on putting 27 late 2nd choice!!!

Cool! That worked out pretty good!! I just ordered a 5200 setup for my mtn goat hunt!

I would go AWOL for that tag.

I have more confidence in lance killing an animal at 1000 yards then I do with the average hunter at 200 yards.

Ugh. Forgot to get 4b worked into there!! Side note: there are no dink bulls in 4B

Im gonna shoot a forkhorn cows deer (with eyeguards) over bait, from a blind Im gonna leave on NF land to claim my spot, from 1000 yards with a rifle and call it a 6point. Im gonna load it into my gas ford pickup which is without question the best pickup ever made......

8F29EC9F-FC49-4E14-AD75-4E42A1644B18.jpeg FWIW Im pro-Long range hunting if its what you want to do and you do it legally. Im anti 6.5 creedmore though as I think its a homosexual marketing ploy by Hornady. (Not that theres anything wrong with that) Then why, when I offered my 28 nosler to you, did you message me asking to use a 6.5 creed if I had one? Oh crap... I get it now.... that was your "move". Haha!! You are slow to catch on!!

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

I havent been to cottonwood for a while but I love roundabouts. If Americans were smart enough to use them they work incredibly well. Maintain traffic flow much better and reduce accidents as well as the severity of accidents. Watched an old lady come to a full stop at one the other day and then go left on it into traffic to take a left. Cant fix stupid.

Wow!!! Dream bull!! I am so jealous!!! I had the same hunt last year and sat in a blind the entire time and never took the safety off!! Congrats on an incredible bull!!

Seriously though. Post a price.

That could be where it killed it at. From the way the judges ruling looks it sounds like it was killed right under those power lines in the picture.

I wanna make sure they shoot good first. Ordered 200 in case they shoot great and then I cant find them again. Figured I could sell them if the rifle doesnt like them. Picked up some 180 VLDs, 175 LR accubonds, and 168 LRTTSX. Also found 7 boxes of loaded ammo at a little gun shop nearby. $60 for 20. They are loaded with 168gr nosler target bullets but I think Ill either shoot them all or pull them just for the brass. Cant find any 28 nosler anywhere so I figured this is as good as I can get and cheaper then buying brass.

Congrats!! I burned 10 pts last year and didnt get anything this year.

Thanks! Got some ordered.

Just a little update. I called proof research a couple days ago to see if they happened to have any rifles that were pre built and ready to go. He said hed look around. Got a call back yesterday and they have a demo 28 nosler with Stiller action and 26 barrel plus brake (exactly what I would have ordered anyhow!) for a screaming good deal. Weighs 6pounds 4 ounces. Should be a mean machine for goats and hopefully in the future a sheep hunt or two. Just ordered dies and some 26 Nosler Brass (per Caseys suggestion on another thread). Im gonna top it with a Marching 2.5-25 that I ordered for a different rifle thats still at the smith. Should make for about as light a rifle as a guy can get and still be able to stretch it to 1000 yards if needed. Anyone know where I can get some 195 Bergers?
