I'm so glad people are actually posting!!
A little bit about me.
I'm a 14 year old, 15 on November 18, girl who lives in North Dakota on an 849 acre ranch with 81 head of cattle, 40+ chickens, numerous rabbits, 2 horses who I use for scouting sometimes, numerous cats and a large dog.
I mainly deer hunt along with any kind of raccoon, skunk beaver etc.
I shoot my Savage youth 243 for now, but I'm hoping to upgrade to a 270 next year.
Last year I got my first deer, a 2x2 mulie buck on the last day of the season, I was chasing a 5x5 mulie the other days of the season, and getting some near chances to get him. One time he was 100 yards from us, but he was going in and out of brush checking out some does also there, I was extremely foggy and I didn't want to risk losing him or hitting something else, another time I had a 600 yard shot at him bit decided not to take it just cause I didn't want to risk having an injured deer running around.
This year I was supposed to have any buck or doe but the Game and Fish messed up my license so I only have any doeI've seen some big mulies though..
Here's a beaver my dad shot on Friday, maybe Thursday.
I cut its tail off and I'm still waiting for it to dry out.
It was a total of 3 feet long, it's tail was 1 foot, rest of the body 2 feet, 1 foot wide, and it's back feet had to be 5 inches across, also weighed 60 pounds or more" Congrats on your first deer last year! I also applaud you for not shooting. 600 yards is a long ways even for a military sniper or seasoned match shooter under field conditions. Speaking from experience, there is nothing worse than losing a wounded deer. Hope you have good luck this season. Nothing wrong with does, you can't eat the antlers.
The .270 is a fine cartridge and should serve you well in a Savage rifle. They definitely outshoot their price tag. For your current rifle, consider restocking it so you have a coyote/antelope gun that fits you better than the youth stock. I did this on my wife's Savage M11. We bought her a youth thinking this was the right size, but she found it too short. Over the winter I added a stock from Richards Microfit. They will custom cut the length, and I had them split the difference between a full size and youth stock. Perfect fit now. Will require finishing and some light fitting, but if you can use a hobby knife and sandpaper, it's not too hard to get a nice looking stock even if your work isn't perfect the first time. In addition, you'll have a "custom" rifle for which you invested a lot of time and effort to make it uniquely yours, which adds a whole new level of enjoyment to your hunt.
