Just got back from Colorado. What a beautiful setting to hunt mule deer! I shot my buck at 165 yards with my 270 win using 150 gr. Ballistic tip handloads.
Bullet was a complete pass thru and left a quarter sized exit. The buck trotted about 10 yards and dropped.
We went 3 for 3 on mule...
Thx all!
As a matter of fact he did say “This is a hunt I will remember for the rest of my life!”
Now that is what it is all about!

Private land is even more doable if you can swing the cost. If cost is preventing you from going, don’t hesitate to try a public land hunt either.
Antelope can be done with minimal cost and max opportunity. They are everywhere and provide abundant opportunity!
Either way, good luck, you...
That is a great buck! We moved from Oregon just prior to me being old enough to start hunting. I would love to go back and get a black tail some day!

Wanted to share a pic of my Wy. Pronghorn. My brother and I drew this year and had a great trip! It was a muddy mess but a lot of fun!
Found this buck in day 2 and I really liked his look. Bumped him on the stalk (darn doe). Ended up shooting him at 515 yards with my Weatherby Backcountry...
That is awesome! Great buck!
Time is definitely precious with the kids! Enjoy every minute you can!
Congrats to you all in a very successful trip!

My son shot his best buck to date last week. He used his Remington 700 in 270 Win - 130 gr. BT handloads.
Shot was 200 yards after making a stalk up a steep ridge to get elevation on him as he worked a herd of does. Buck was quartering to us slightly. He only made it about 10 yards after...
I got both my shots. Moderna. (Front line EMS)
First dose brought on a sore arm. Second dose brought sore arm, chills, muscle aches, and headache.
Really wasn’t too bad.
Thank you. I really appreciate the input from each h if you.
I think the consensus is what I thought, yes, it could change things. So, I will get to testing new stuff...
So with today’s lack of components I have reached a point where I need to start using other components.
I reload my 270 win using Win brass and WLR primers.
I’m now out of WLR primers and have CCI 200’s and CCI magnum primers.
My understanding is that the WLR is a “hotter” primer. If that...
Dad shot his first moose, a Shiras, this year at 180 yards broadside the bullet performed flawlessly. The bull locked up and absorbed 3 more but only went about 5 steps total.
He was using his 270 WSM and 150 gr. Partitions. It retained 108 grains of weight.
My guess is as mentioned by...
