Hunting Elk and Deer Calibers

[buckshotbarlow]

I typically use a 308 for Elk, deer, pronghorn. Makes life a lot simpler I think to pick one caliber and stick with it. I don't take shots over 300 yards at animals so I never really seen the need for a magnum. But I have seen people shooting at geese that are flying higher than 300 yards....

Shot placement/distance is a big thing and you need to think of if you could pass on a less than acceptable shot or would take it anyway.

you must goose hunt by 287 and highway 52...it hink some of those folks believe their 12ga's are AAA.

Was on public land, and a couple different SWA's. I won't hunt public for geese anymore.
