My dad used to hunt when I was young. He had a .30-06, can't remember the brand/model or anything else other than that it only had open sites. When I was 12 I wanted to take up hunting and put the time into the hunters safety course (we had to drive back from LA for me to take one of the classes on a Saturday in order for me to pass)
About six years ago my brother-in-law got back into hunting and has subsequently built our group. He started with a .308 which both my younger brother then picked up and later I bought a Remington 700ADL in .308 and fitted it with a Nikon 3x9 scope.
Since getting back on the hunt we have harvested several elk, most at ranges of 200-400 yards. Last year, my first year hunting for my first muley gave me a shot at about 15 yards. Although he was only a two-point, he was my first buck and I had an even greater time hunting with my 12-yr-old for that experience.
That all being said; what is everyone's weapon of choice for hunting muleys/elk speaking of the general any-weapon seasons?
