Great info ColoradoV, much appreciated. I live at 7,500 and I hike nearly everyday up and down in these mountains but I too feel the effects at higher elevations. Above 10,000-11,000 starts to become noticeable and above 12,000 I can definitely feel it.

Congrats !! Awesome goat (y)

Congrats … great buck !!

Nice bear …. congrats !!

I've never heard anything bad about this caliber either. It should be a great gun. I've also never shot an elk with one and I'd definitely lean toward something a little larger for an animal as big as an elk. That being said, with modern bullets and proper shot placement I have no doubt it will...

This is kinda what I was thinking too. I like the idea … it might never happen but I think it would be great.

Good point. I've had elk wonder right into camp while we were there and the fire was going.

I kinda like your idea of having alternates. It might take some work to manage it that way but it would be more fair to everyone who applied.

It's a shame, CA is such a beautiful place … why does it have to be full of so many wacko's?

My Deer Tag arrived yesterday as well !!

I used Danner's for many years and they were both durable and comfortable … although the comfort part has more to do with how the boots fit your particular feet than anything. I'm using Zamberlan's right now and so far so good … they seem great.

Absolutely no question … that's a big mule deer !! Congrats (y)

I agree, lengthy jail time and big fines.

Yeah, I had a .338 win mag once. Nice caliber but geez that thing kicked. :oops: Since the OP is looking for "maybe less recoil" I wouldn't recommend a .338.

I recently got a 28 Nosler which is working very well. I put a muzzle break on it and the recoil is minimal now. Obviously that's not much different than your .280 though. Since you're looking for something heavier the 300s recommended above (win mag or Weatherby) would be great choices. Put...

Ok, that sounds better … thx!

Sounds good, thanks !!

No … but it's getting close !

Hmmmm … not good.

Thanks CC. I'm waiting on my WY deer tag … nothing yet.
