Controversial, capable, unpredictable... The 6.5 Creedmoor is one of those cartridges that generates a lot of love and hate. Even though we usually recommend bigger cartridges for elk, there are times and situations where the 6.5 Creedmoor is the best choice. 

In this episode, we take a candid look at the 6.5 Creedmoor's capability, consider ballistic data, and compare it to legendary cartridges such as the .270 Win. and .30-06 Springfield, and establish where we believe the "Creed's" comfort zone is for use on elk. 

As bullet choice is more crucial than cartridge choice, we also detail optimal 6.5 projectiles for use on elk, and discuss shot distance, shot angle, and shot placement. 

Anchoring the discussion, we detail several different solid reasons to choose the 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting elk. 

ENJOY!

We get the current scoop on the pronghorn populations in Texas from Shawn Gray, the Mule Deer and Pronghorn Program Leader at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.  Learn all about this wild west icon's natural history and more!

Pronghorn are incredibly unique, and not just because they're the last-surviving member of the family Antilocapridae. They're the fastest land animal in North America. They have one of the longest land migrations of any animal in North America. Their eyesight is Swarovski-esque. They're not actually antelopes, but explorers familiar with African animals just had no idea what to compare them to when they first saw them. We talk all things pronghorn with ODFW's ungulate species coordinator Don Whittaker in this episode.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Such a good example of that with this week's episode. In 2018, I watched a fascinating docuseries on Netflix called Wild, Wild Country about a controversial guru building a utopian city in the Oregon desert. I thought about doing an episode about the Rajneeshees then, but I didn't want to be overly influenced by that one show. I'm glad I waited. More dirt on the cult has come to light in the years since, and we look into it today. Did Bhagwan Rajneesh really offer enlightenment to his followers? Did he really ever even care about enlightenment? Or was it all about getting rich and sex? Or was it about enlightenment AND getting rich AND sex? Bhagwan's messages often seem empowering and enlightened at quick glance, but looking deeper, there was always a lot of darkness inside the supposed utopia he was trying to build. Hope you like this one as much as I did.

SHOW NOTES

Characteristics of an ideal western deer rifle

• Packable (if you can’t get to the game, you’ll never get a shot)
• Ergonomic (so when you get to a shooting position, heaving for air and trembly with exertion, the rifle helps you pull off the shot at the moment of truth)
• Accuracy (so you can make any reasonable shot offered)
• Authority (enough to cleanly kill from any ethical shot presentation)
• Reliability (no amount of performance matters if you can’t count on it)
• Cartridges & bullets for western deer hunting

Configuring the ideal western deer rifle

• Action options
• Bottom metal
• Trigger
• Barrel
• Stock

Our pick for the ultimate western deer cartridge

• Sorry, you gotta listen for this one, plus in-depth details on the two runner-ups. 

COMING SOON: Part two of configuring the ultimate western deer rifle. Here we'll add awesome scope mounts, a capable riflescope, a bipod, a sling, and more.
