Nice shootin. Those 30cal 230's are some wicked bullets.

Guessing grapefruit size exits?

I'm surprised they stayed standing after taking one.

If I ever stay that calm after shooting a buck that size, my deer hunting days are over.


Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Yes the exit holes where insane ... And they also didn't ruin to much meat whcig I know doesn't sound possible, needless to say I love the combo!

If you wanna lighten your rig, try a 7mag shooting 180 scenars @ a mere 28-2900 fps..I love the big 30's with 230's..but the portability/recoil of the 7mm while matching ballistics..to make it short, there's a reason why they are so popular smile

I have a 7mm that weighs 8lb 9oz with scope and bipod, no doubt in my mind that gun could if made both those shots too wink couple days before the hunt I was shooting both of them at 1050 yards. Actually had the 7mm sitting right by the tripod with the video camera on it. 95% of the time I grab the 7mm but on this hunt we wherent hiking to far from the RZR

I've never heard of scenars. I'll have to look those up

spdrman ........... ask the naysayers to post a video of their 1000+ yard kills/shots.

I am still interested in knowing the story behind all those large MD antlers being loaded on the plane.

Nice shooting. BTW I'm Justin, the guy you always see at the Rexburg range. You hung a target for me when I was sighting in my creedmoor and I had blown out my acl a few years ago.

Great shots on some good bucks! Were these taken in a general unit or a controlled hunt unit? I hunted a controlled hunt unit this year near where you are from that looked like similar country from what I could see on the video.

Nice shooting on nice animals, congrats.

Don't know what part of ID you were hunting but I hunted the Arbon Valley area SW of Pocatello for quite a few years & there's just simply lots of areas where you find great deer & cannot get very close.

I built a LR rifle specially for hunting hunting there.......
