--- Quote from: Dman on December 14, 2007, 10:05:02 AM --- Scott, don't be so easily miffed for crying out loud, I posed it more as a question. My point was perhaps you shouldn't make an assertion without the experience to back it up, it seems that point was more than overstated to myself recently??? I'd like to know how many here have harvested BOTH deer and ELK with; .270, 30.06, .300 mag, 7mm, 30-30, .308 and 30-30 by the time they were 19??? no one I know has. I'm really surprised at your reaction, let's be even handed in our comment's. I wouldn't say "blacktail get over 200lbs" unless I had harvested one that size, that's just me. --- End quote --- If I am being an a$$ I apologize. I just want to enjoy reading the threads and learn stuff, because god knows I need all the help I can get in fine tuning my hunting and fishing skills. Thanks for you post and I do apologize if I was too harsh. With that I need to take the dogs for a walk, glass the lake, and tie more flies. Have a good day, Damn and if I offended you again, I apologize. |

really?? are we really doing this again?? addicted's post was merely stating that one could not know until one actually completed that feat... --- Quote ---And you can't really know till you've shot several big game with each of the calibers offered. --- End quote --- i don't see anywhere where he was saying or implying that he did it. which is pretty much exactly what was you were saying about the 200lb blacktail...no one would know unless they've killed one. leave it alone and move on... |

Sisu, no worries, I was just surprised at your reaction given I've seen folk's toss the same experience related question at people several times, it's confusing to me. I'm done now, let's go fishing, oh damn my boat's for sale.... |

^ that sucks. ope your boat goes to a good home. so back at the topic. i hit my elk when i was like 13 i think and it was about 400 yards 50 degree angle down a clearcut. 30.06 180 grain. 2 shots. first one kinda sorta blew out the bottom jaw :rolleyes: and the second one was a double lung. she (youth cow hunt) ran about 35 yards died and fell against a tree. so that caliber did its thing. my cousin sitting right next to me hit a smaller cow 2 behind mine with a 300winmag. hit behind the right shoulder high and came out the chest. big ol hole. his tumbled and flipped another 400 yards down the hill. so that caliber did its thing. by the way my cousin hit his on his 4th shot. ;) |
| Dman:
That's a good example, thanks for sharing. I believe we can learn from hunting with other's too, you got to see firsthand by hunting with your cousin the capabilities of his .300 mag. I am sad about the boat -but I won't miss the payment ;D I'll be hunting a lot more next year I hope, with a better budget to work with. |
