  1. Nice on the 7PRC. I really like the round. The shot was 315 yards. We were calling from the opposite of the relatively narrow canyon with the sun to our backs. I shot 175 grain ELD-X. I didn't find the bullet, but I got pass through with a good exit wound, got lungs and somehow hit bottom of spine too. Bull didn't move a muscle. Friend who shot the 5x6 that I mentioned above, shot the same 7PRC ammo at 375 yards and I was told the bull didn't really go anywhere either.
  2. Thank you! It's a Bergara B-14 Crest in 7mm PRC. I also used Sandman L suppressor. First year hunting elk with my own rifle. I've borrowed buddies' lightweight 7mm mags and .300 win mags previous years as I didn't want to carry around my Texas whitetail hunting, bull barrel .308. What was your rifle set-up?
  3. Very nice pictures from the elk hunt above. I got an elk on the first rifle hunt in Utah. My 3rd elk and biggest yet. Friend of a friend's ranch at 8500'. It's like an "elk lease". Friend hunting cows helped me call him in after over 2 hours. He eventually got curious and came out of the timber. Made him leave his cows. Elk here seem to have genetics primarily for 5x5. This one has 41" spread inside. Saw about 25 other elk, including two decent bulls and two spikes. Friend I was with on his first elk hunt shot 5x6 shortly after first light on the first morning.
  4. Honest question, if refs giving in to crowd by reversing the penalty "sets a bad precedent", couldn't they just make pass interference a reviewable penalty moving forward, e.g., next season? Seems like the issue would mostly go away and we wouldn't have to deal with bullshit calls by the refs.
  5. Brent Venables treats objects like women.
  6. Same about the memories. That was my first game at DKR. Second UT game ever. Great way to kick it off.
  7. I'm sure he meant it as a compliment, you know, since Vanderbilt has historically beaten Texas...Though you can't say the same for Michigan.
  8. So Texas win not good because Michigan "bad", and although McNeese bad, aggy win somehow good?
  9. The aggy alumni thing says he was a student athlete. Guessing he played whatever sport for a season. He graduated in '81 with a geology degree from UT and in '85 I think with a MS petroleum engineering degree from UT. I know of his UT history because of the oil and gas industry (he founded Hilcorp). The UT department of petroleum engineering is named after him because of a large donation. edit: I should have read the rest of the thread.
  10. Nice little anecdote, Jeff Hildebrand has two degrees from UT and zero from aggy. He was smart enough to leave.
