Giants of the Yucca: Hunting Big Colorado Whitetails

Shooting Editor John B. Snow has never shot a big whitetail buck, and that puts him in the company of most deer hunters. And like those fellow whitetail hunters it hasn’t been for lack of trying. This season, he took another crack at finding a monster and headed to an unlikely place to do so-the plains of Eastern Colorado.
You can find the full story of his buddy hunt with the new Springfield Waypoint Model 2020 rifles here: LINK TK

Great video! Really like the scope cam footage and I'm ready to order a 2020 waypoint!

[@cactuscreekoutfitters]

Ah those springfields are the sexiest rifles ever. I just got a Christensen and then saw the 2020. Was that 308 or 6.5

[@ToddSkougor]

6.5

Wish the magazine was still in print

Great hunt 👍

[@nathanpierceyoung]

I have a waypoint in .308 that I want to put a suppressor on. The BSF barrel states you can’t use more then 15ft/lbs on a muzzle device and the suppressor company wants you to use 45 ft/lbs on their muzzle device. What did you end up doing to mount yours?

"At least we have deer feeding in the corn like they're supposed to" 🤣

Hello✋

[@rabirandhawa3555]

Hello sir am Indian. I just got a new bolt action rifle le enfied no 4 mark 1. Same copy Indian made my 315 bore rifle 8mm cartilage. When I cock my rifle, I feel the bolt push forward. And the bullet comes out very tight and sticks out. Some people believe that the composition of the pills is not correct. Some people asked me if my rifle was new and it would get better. Tell me why Bolt throws bullets out of the chamber. Why does the bullet get stuck। please tips smooth work my bolt

Most likely private land, Eastern Colorado is 99.99% land locked by private. I used to guide in Eastern CO & Western KS….Western Kansas has Walk In Only Access that public land hunters can use to access bits and pieces of private. Do your research before applying for the tags and try to lock up private land access far in advance. Kansas tag is easier to draw and there are more public land access points that offer excellent opportunities to shoot mature quality deer.

[@ToddSkougor]

Correct. Private land

[@WaPiTiChAsEr]

To be expected, high caliber deer do not stray far from the demilitarized zones in Eastern Colorado or Western Kansas 😉
