Hunter54What load, cartridge, bullet etc.? Did the bullet fail at any point? What was your range?
Would a 300 magnum have helped?

Chuck NelsonMy brother and I just hunt together when we can. Neither he nor I are outfitters.
He killed his bull a couple of weeks before I got this one.

Bob NisbetMy son and I hunted the Brazeau River area a number of years ago. We hunted in October and had very little snow.
Your area looks more like it was further West and maybe a bit South of Brazeau River.
Did you set up a camp or live in a bunkhouse somewhere.

We were several hours south of there. No more West, but closer to the Mountains.
We set up a camp.

Hunter54Very good. I thought you used a 7mm Mausor?
Did you borrow the Mashburn from Bob or that guy in Montana?
17 November 2012, 06:08
Chuck NelsonI have both!
The Mashburn.
