Guess I should have mentioned that his wife is from Montana and her brother and father still live there and are excellent big game hunters. Neither one of 'em likes my buddy too much (you know, that whole liberal Seattle stuff), and both of them would narc on him in a heartbeat. That's why I would recommend something smaller than a .270, since that is what her father shoots on elk! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
