CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Hope evryone is doing well.

Burt, that's a GREAT 6 but I don't know if that will score 111. It has nice spread but seams to be lacking tine length to get a really big score. Did anyone see the 6 that was in the Recorder last weekend? 18-1/2" spread with 11" G2's Let's look at the one in the Recorder this way B&C Score Sheet [table] [tr] [td]SCORING YOUR TROPHY Typical Whitetail Deer [/td][/tr][/table] [table] [tr] [td]ON-LINE SCORING STEP ONE - Entering Your Measurements[/td][/tr] [tr] [td] [table] [tr] [td]FIGURE A http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgrecords/images/scoring_point.gif[/img][/td] [td]FIGURE C http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgrecords/images/scoring_wttp1.gif[/img][/td][/tr] [tr] [td]FIGURE B http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgrecords/images/scoring_wttp2.gif[/img][/td][/tr][/table] All measurements must be made with a 1/4-inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. (Note: A flexible steel cable can be used to measure points and main beams only.) Enter fractional figures in eighths, without reduction. For example, if a point measures 7 and 2/8 inches, you would enter 7 2/8 in the space provided.

I have to agree. It's been a VERY slow year for us. We've been seeing alot of turkeys but very few deer. We did manage to take a coyote this past weekend & miss another.

VJP, You're correct. My son & I were looking at the winchester calculatot the other day & I don't know what we were looking at but it showed a drop off as follows - 0" at 100 yds, -2"+/- at 150 yards & -4.5" =/- at 200. I was disgusted besides that fact that I know my son won't have a shot over 100-125 yards anywhere that we hunt. L

"I honestly think the majority of hunters couldn't hit anything passed 200 yards never mind 300, so the drop off you talk about for the 7mm-08 is really insignificant. For shooting deer within 250 yards like most people should be doing anyway, the 7mm-08 has more than enough punch. For the few who can handle 300 yard or more distances, the 30-06 probably wouldn't be the best choice out there either. 7mm, .300 mags would probably be a better choice for that kind of shooting." I absolutely agree that 99.9% of hunters couldn't & shouldn't be considering a shot over 200 yards, myself included because I may shot 2 or 3 practice rounds at that distance a year. My point is that up to 200 yards,the 30-06 is a much flatter shooting round than the 7mm-08. Granted it's not as flat as the 7mm mag or .300mag but it also doesn't carry the recoil of those rounds. I was very disapointed in the drop of of the 7mm-08 between 100 & 200 yards.

It's me, my Dad, my father in-law, now my son & occasionally my best friend. That's it.

I have to agree with most of the posts here. The '06 is the all around best gun. I hunt with one & it will handle an game in North America no problem. It has the bets choices of ammo fom 100 grain varmit to 220 grain brush busters & it's usually on sale for around $15/box for Remington Core-Lokt. Shot capability out to 300+ yards if needed. Regular & reduced recoil ammo available. I bought my son a Remigton Model 7 youth 7mm-08. It is a very nice gun but here are the draw backs I have found. Very limted bullet sizes available (140 & 165 grain) Not all stores carry the ammo Ammo is expensive $30/box for Winchester, real tough time finding Remington Ballisitcally the drop off over 150 yds is terrible. (Where we hunt there are very few if any shots that long so it's not a factor for my son). Just my $.02

That's very cool & he looks like a fairly young deer. Imagine him in another year if he keeps non-typ

Looking from th pics I have t agreewith Sampotter, mid 160's depending on the circumfernce measurements. Regardless, He's a SLAMMER !!!
