[QUOTE="Savage99man, post: 2385614, member: 116296"] I brought a 30-06 out with 165s out of concern for high winds which were an issue. The outfitter asked me why I brought a cannon out to hunt a 100lb animal? I told him that people I had talked to took excessively long shots and fought with wind drift on unguided hunts. He explained that although there is always decent wind gusts during the season that they seldom have a client take a shot beyond 200-250 yds so it really doesn't come into play that much. I ended up taking a 400+ yd shot ( which the guide told me I was the second client he ever had take a shot that far) but my brother who came out with me took his at under 100 yds. Mind you that a lot of walking and crawling occurred between spotting and getting into shooting position. I'd say bring what you shoot best and don't mind carrying. [/QUOTE]
