When hunting elk in Colorado and when hunting anything in Alaska, I use a T/C Icon Weathershield 30-06 with 180 grain Nosler partitions.

When hunting deer or antelope in Colorado and when hunting Coues deer in Arizona, I use a T/C Venture with 117 grain Sierra Game Kings.

When hunting prairie dogs at close range, in Colorado I use a Savage 93 with .22 mag boolits. Slightly quieter so maybe doesn't scare the survivors away.
When hunting prairie dogs or coyotes at longer ranges I use a T/C Icon Precision Hunter .223 with 55 grain Ballistic Tips.

Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
