I agree! I have used both and they will do the job easily. Keep it under 300 yds. and good shoot placement. Good luck!- Westelker

Relocation For High Three Retirement
I commend you for wanting to relocate to Alaska. I flew nearly everyday while serving at Elmendorf AFB. During the long days, when the weather is clear and the air is warm is great.

If it's as steep as it looks and if the trees/brush are as thick as they look, carrying all your gear up that ridge will be almost impossible. Once you cross the Dry Creek willows and start the initial climb, make your decision to go to Plan B before you're too exhausted. Better yet just go to... -
Looking for suggestions on a new caliber
.270 almost any bullet will get you a deer, antelope or bull elk. Shot placement at a reasonable range will do the job...keep it simple, .270 bullets are available almost anywhere.

You're correct on the vote for the original release, but what I read yesterday was for the CPW for the 15 from Canada. I totally agree with you about the vote a couple years ago. The vote from the front range!!! Thanks for the correction.- Westelker

Introduce more wolves in to CO. They'll catch the Canadian wolves and release them, probably in the Western slope.- Westelker

Wolves Continue to Surge Further South in Colorado
Just read that the wolf movement has continued. GPS tracking by CPW has revealed that at least two wolves made their way as far south as Buena Vista. Covers both sides of the Arkansas River, units 48 and 49. It will be most interesting to see what happens when the wolves discover all those...- Westelker
