On my last trip out west, I took my mule deer and 2 antelope with my 6.5x55 M96 Mauser.....I don't know why this round isn't more popular here in the states (Maybe because of the metric designation? Maybe they should have renamed it the ".264 Scandanavian" or some such thing?)...It is probably (IMHO) just as good as a .270 and doesn't have a lot of recoil...good round for new shooters, IMO. I can see were a 6.5-06 would be a good choice as well. FIJI: Shoot me a p.m. when you get back from ND.....I'm sure we can work out something for a package of steaks. (the antelope sure do stink, but the meat doesn't!  )Skeet: Good luck on the elk hunt....hope you find that big 7x7 behind the first tree!

[QUOTE=Mr. 16 gauge;343006Skeet:
Good luck on the elk hunt....hope you find that big 7x7 behind the first tree! [/QUOTE] Well to be really honest I don't want to shoot a big ol Bull. I just want some eating meat so a cow will do..and is preferred. Oh and as for the moose post with caribou the moose seem to be doing ok in the areas I hunt. I kinda creep through the woods and routinely walk up on them..some nice bulls too but not anywhere as large as Alaska moose. And it seems to actually be easier to draw a moose tag if you are a non-resident..but as a nonresident i think you have to use an outfitter. Moose tags are very hard to draw in Wyoming. I have a friend that has been trying for 12 yrs..I have been trying for 6 yrs with no luck. a caribou trip would be a lot of fun I think. I hunted the Porcupine herd oh so many years ago.. When they migrate you will see so many bou it isn't funny..Hard to pick outr a good bull that way..Always the next one will be bigger. LOL
