Fantastic Deer. I don't get an opportunity to harvest big deer but I do get big hogs. I always carry a 660# digital scale that I got on line for $32 and it works great.
17 HMR - out to 150 yards
204 or 223 - from 150-300 yards, I prefer the 204 over the 223
Where I hunt in west Texas I don't have many opportunities to shoot over 300 yards on prairie dogs.
