Just got back from Texas on a freezer filler whitetail hunt, I ended up taking 2 smaller management bucks to fill my freezer, I used my sako AV 375 h&h with 275 gr cutting edge safari raptor bullets as a little science experiment and noticed I had far less meat damage with the 375 vs my other "appropriate" deer rifles so I believe I may have a new deer rifle

That would be an East Tex Muygrande...
 
Was this a paid hunt or your farm? Well done. I've been thinking about using the 375 H&H as well. We have some big hogs here in GA, and would like to try it out. :)
 
Interesting about the .375 on whitetails. I have also taken a couple of deer with my .375 H&H, using the same 300 grain A-Frames that I used in Africa. (This was partly an experiment, but also because my favorite .270 was being re-bedded in its stock at the time.) Like you, I found that the .375 did much less meat damage than my "regular deer rifle." I'm not planning on turning it into my go-to deer rifle, though.
 
Good job! Where abouts in Texas?

I went to a friends ranch in La Salle County (south Texas) last weeked and had a good deer hunt too and filled the freezer.
 
We hunted a few different counties (hood,brown,Throckmorton and hill) all central
 
Congrats and good job. Looks like a lot of good eating.

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
