[QUOTE="Lefty G-gear, post: 2307384, member: 26902"] Ask them who invited you to give you a ballpark guess of what maximum range you will have where you go, then assess your equipment. - For me: Be ready for a long-shot, but it has always been within 300-yards, as far as opportunity goes. - I live in Wyoming. - I think you are good to go with the 270 Weatherby, but I'd use a Nosler Partition bullet. Hard to find. But, maybe next time.
