Had one running around a pasture last week when we were elk hunting. My brother and I dropped to the ground and I let out a few barks and some short rabbit in distress. He showed up about 300 yds out and we never saw him again so we gave up. When we got up to keep moving this one was about 400yds out and took off running. I barked a few times and he stopped long enough for my brother to cut loose. "Where the post meets crosshair, put that on his spine just above his ass!" He fugging connected with the first shot and neither of us could believe it. We ranged it @ 600yds after the shot. ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/P1010874_zps040d4d27.jpg) Travis Uber. What ca'tridge?

Spotted this one about a mile away while we were deer hunting. I much prefer coyotes to deer so we dropped into the bottom of the creek and started calling. Got him within 100yds. I think mini-'flave had his heart pounding because he shot while the dog was trotting, and then barked... Rookies... He connected but dad had to clean up on the running, wounded dog. Either way. Successful stand: ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/P1020015_zps584df61a.jpg)

I have never killed an elk. Matter of fact, I think that was the second time I'd ever bothered looking for one. Mine is Howa ultra-light or whatever that action is referred to. It now has a Brux #3 cut @ 20". Sako Classic pattern, standard fill. Timney trigger, Talley LW's. Weighs between 7.5 and 8lbs depending on scope and barrel. Travis

That sounds just about perfect. Im really liking shorter handier rifles in smaller calibers.

Travis I don't know if we're near good enough yet to give lessons. It's fun for sure though.. And snared coyotes are definitely the best ones to skin. Anyone up at your camp killed any antlered game yet?

If I was going to build something right now for deer and below it would be a Howa action, #2 Douglass, and McMillan Sako Hunter in EDGE fill. Chambering would be a 22-250 with a 1-8" twist. Barrel chopped @ 21".
If it was for more bigger stuff I'd make it a 7-08.
Whatever this is worth to you...
