Buffalo,
Im not looking to get in the record books. Just shoot a decent buck and have fun while I'm doing it. Im going out there with two other friends. Me and one other are going to doing our first western big game hunt this year. We are going for the experience and the fun. We are going to WY unit 29. Thats an almost garanteed draw with NO points. That should tell you something rite there. And as of rite now, we have no private land set up to hunt. All public land for us. Im not going to settle for a spike, but from everything that I am being told, with us going out in the second week of the season, we should all be able to shoot some good bucks at 400yds and under. While the goats may be a little more skittish the second week, I am being told that there are alot less hunters out there. Nice goats in the pics BTW. When I save enough points and get some speed goat hunting experience under my belt, I am sure I will one day focus on a NICE buck when I get a more premier area to hunt.
Liltank,
You are correct. He has been there and done that. He is a bike nut for sure.
With you being a Savage fan (I am too), I would highly recommend the Stevens for a custom build. I have seen some guys on the forums build some incredible rifles with the Stevens.

If I'm not mistaken WY allows you to set up on watering holes and we are definately going to use this as an option if our stalking skills fail miserably, lol. Again, thanks for the intell.
