RE: Favorite Mule Deer Cartridge?
300 + whitetails aren't uncommon here and 300 + mulies are normal. Even still in terms of game animals they (deer)are relatively thin skinned and I personal think 1/4 bore or higher is just fine for our sized deer. In terms of mule deer I have used from 25-06 rem to 300 wby. My current choice in a CF cartridge is a 7mm rem mag for the big game animals I hunt here in Saskatchewan. The gun shoots/fits so well I have complete confidence when carrying it, thus it#1to me currently. That said it doesn't kill mulies any better then theothers, it boils down to shot placement - deflate the lungs and it isover quickly!
