.... I havnt got a bull in a long time , put on many many miles the last few days ,
I love how you can glass a hillside for an hour , turn your head away for 30 seconds turn back - and boom there’s an elk ! - 5x5 - smaller body like a cow - .28 nosler , 150 grain ttsx , 3135 FPS, 360 yard shot , shot him twice - Debone and pack out - two years ago shattered my pelvis into 4 pieces while parachuting in the Army Long hard road getting back from that (bolted together with titanium) , this was pretty trying getting him out alone but totally worth it ! Location : western Colorado that’s all you’re gonna get from me ! |

My gunsmith built it up for me : 700 action trued Lilja fluted 26” .28 nosler Nightforce nxs 5.5-22 Xtreme hardcore rings and base (I love their rings) Cerakote burnt bronze TBAC .338 brake and suppressor - you can use a can to hunt with in Colorado McMillan carbon fiber stock CDI bottom metal AICS mags with modded feed lips for .28 nosler Timney trigger I had the flipping hardest time finding brass , finally snagged Some and loaded up some Barnes ttsx real quick before the hunt 150 grains at 3130 ish FPS , retumbo , started getting pressure Signs so backed down a little , was shooting about .5 Moa with the Barnes 250 yard zero. I have the sig kilo 2400 , I uploaded all my data , was only able to Shoot to 300 before the hunt. So not sure my data and kilo 2400 Are syncing at long range - it called for 2 Moa of elevation adjustment When I ranged him , and I shot him really high , nearly spined him I snagged some factory nosler 175 lrab , which shot awesome And faster too , 3200 FPS , I may try this for a late season cow hunt I’m going on in December |

I had a thread about a cow hunt in New Mexico last year That I got on , it was a amazing private land hunt for Vets etc.... I didn’t have to walk at all really , they drove us around And you get out and shoot, so this was a big deal for me to See how’d Id be post injury and walking/ hiking etc, I had foot drop To my right leg for crushing my sciatic nerve , which is still There and I have a limp , but I can manage. I first hiked in 2 miles and spiked camp at high elevation But the pressure was insane , so I packed up my shit to try another area Did see some spikes And some cows though (had a bull tag) Here are some pics of the high country  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

What type of pack? How far of a packout? And did it preform as you wanted it too?

Badlands pack , it was “ok” , a bunch of the straps on the back
Ripped when I was packing the head out. Seems pretty cheap Honestly. I plan on just nutting up and purchasing a mystery ranch. 1.25 mile trip each way - not bad really |
