While I will almost certainly go with the Whelen, I have a hankering for having a poke at a deer with a 44 mag. Wife will probably use her new 243. Also itching to use a 10mm, but I'm a little worried that I'd end up with a runner that would end up off the property.

That is some great info, and some excellent shooting - doubt I could match those groups. 180 grains at ~2900 fps is nothing to sneeze at and should result in very efficient killing of elk at and well past your 200 zero.

Damn, that's impressive. So cool, too.

I concur. I suppose I look at it like this: You trade a very small chance of drawing a tag for going out and having a very small chance of harvesting a bison. I think waiting to draw a tag would be the more cost effective option, since you only pay the tag fee once. But going the OTC route...

Go for it! That's some beautiful wood, and anything you make with it would be exquisite.

My understanding, yes. Here is a video with some more details on the hunt: Nine Mile Bison. Here is an article from last year by the Salt Lake Trib (terrible publication) giving some of the background and stating that non residents can buy OTC. However, the big game field guide does not...

Never seen a lion in the wild. Have known one guy who was bow hunting for elk that saw lion prints on top of his boot prints as he was coming back on day. He wasn't sure if it was stalking him, or just headed the same way, but he never bow hunted that area again.

Man, you know, I never thought of that. I will add that to my list of things to do before my next outing. Shoot, I wouldn't want to lose a deer because of a handload that wouldn't chamber, but the idea of facing fangs and claws makes it worse.

Man, those are great! Guy had better keep his photography game sharp! You're both way better than I.

That is so cool! I would love to be able to see something like that.

My understanding is that both CWD and C-J disease are at least thought to be caused by prions, which are a type of misfolded proteins. If that is the case, then I see no reason why it would not be transmissible from deer to human, in much the same way as it is thought that prions can be...

Thanks for the article, I was surprised to read that the electric vehicle market impacted it.

Thanks for the update. As this is apparently an upstream supply problem, I concur that it will impact all manufacturers. I also doubt that there will be an expansion of supply to meet demand.

Don't know if you hunt Utah, what your circumstance is, or your physical condition is, but - There are, or at least were OTC bison hunts in Utah int he Nine Mile Unit.

I thought is was Nike "Just do it!" :unsure:

Well done! always happy to see when you post on this topic.

They certainly look like trophies! Not sure about the wall mount, though...:unsure:

Dang it! Now I've got another rifle to buy.

Great setup, great accuracy. Can't really ask for more, except maybe something to use it on.

I'd take a pic of my reloading area, but I fear someone would call OSHA.
