[QUOTE="7Footer, post: 2385686, member: 74079"] The group I hunt PH with in Colorado use a 270 WSM, 30-06, 308, 25-06. My son and I both shoot 6.5x284, and we have all been successful. Regardless of the cartridge, the secret to success has been good range finders and knowing the dope on the cartridge/bullet you are shooting. Like most animals shot placement is important. It doesn't take a lot of energy to kill them when you hit the vitals, but they are tough as hell if they aren't hit well. These critters are not very big, and they feel comfortable when they are about 600 yards away from you- as has been stated, their vision is amazing, you probably will not sneak up on them. Most of ours were taken between 275 (real close for us) and 600 with 500-600 being the norm. Not much meat, but it is delicious and one of the most fun animals to hunt in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
