Wow..haven't been in Alzada since 1980. Sister used to teach school a little west and north of there. One room schoolhouse stuff. Another galaxy far far away. Well you can do a lot worse than a 30-06. One of my favorites There are some lighter bullet loads good for yotes too. or 150s at long range. I am also partial to the 300 Win Mag. A friend just offered me a 30-06 Mark X Mauser the other day. I may just buy it. That duck load sounds an awful lot like steel. It REALLY bends in the wind. I shot a duck in a 70 mile an hour wind(seriously) at about 30 yds and though shot dead..he landed over 100 yds away. Pure luck on my part..but he was going with the wind. My friend missed a beautiful drake sprig a few minutes later heading into the wind at no more than 20 yds...andhe is probably the best shotgun shooter I have ever been in the field with.. I hope your pard has a great time hunting out here. Love to see enthusiastic people.
