After discussing the theory behind hunting with smaller calibers and then taking a 6mm Creedmoor to Alaska to hunt big-bodied Caribou and Moose, we are recapping our experience and answering your listener-submitted questions about using smaller calibers for big game hunting.

Cody joins us to share the story of the Mule Deer hunt that he shared with his brother and father this past fall.

We discuss their strategy for planning and scouting, how they battled cold conditions, and how the success happened.
