6.5 Creedmoor. Load it down at first then go full bore when he’s ready. It’ll take any hooved game animal in North America with the right bullets and hardly kicks at all.

I’ve owned and used the .260 and 6.5x284 for years and would definitely recommend the Creed.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
