Muley Hunter, It was my first shot ever in the field and not at the range on a rest. I took the shot using a fence post that was too tall. I did not miss again for the season. I took all three deer with one shot each, one at 250-300 yards. All of them just fell over and when field dressed, 1 was a double lung shot, another was a neck shot that busted the asophogus and the last one hit the lung and heart. All the deer just fell over and didn't move. I'm a good shot. I bought the .270 yesterday and took it out to the range and put 4 shots in a 1" circle. I think with the right bullet I will put an elk down. I'm most concerned with the logistics of hunting elk and packing them out.

LongKnife12, I will check into friends with horses or 4-wheelers. It has been years since I have been on a horse though and I've only riden a 4-wheeler once... funny considering I ride motorcycle. : )

Thanks again guys!
