The meat damage can be extensive! But usually I try to get just behind the shoulder, so most of the damage is just to the ribs. And the lungs, which generally aren't there anymore, the bullet having...

I actually had a good time this year, but after seeing no deer at all last year, things had to be better. But this was a particularly educational season. Open terrain, new rifles, old rifles in the...

:D

0500 thereabout when finishing the last post and am just now getting back online. We had a huge feast in the works that commenced about twelve hours later. Three deer hams, two 20 pound...

Took a week off work to hunt mid November and came back to find the company installed a new internet filtering system. So no frequenting most anything I find interesting during breaks or lunch....

Our open area has been slow since the cold killed off a bunch of vegetation. Not sure if that's the main reason or whether my hunting buddy has been working it too hard. He hasn't managed to kill...

:thup:Took the USMC M39 clone out Saturday. Equipped with a ludicrously long Harris bipod, it was easy to sit and scan the clear cut. Had the toe of the butt jammed into a breast pocket, so no hands...

Funny thing about shotgun slugs is that there's been studies made that the basic Forster projectile has a rather further danger zone than other projectiles after impact. So it might not go downrange...

Drug out the Type 99 and some modern gear to zero, including an M39 EMR clone that I'd about forgotten! Maybe this is the year that the Japanese rifle starts doing it's bit. Had a No.4(T) out, but...

So it's snipers you don't like? Fair enough.

I've hunted about 3 times ever from a tree stand. And if you look at the earlier part of the thread I was hunting on my hind legs with a 1860 vintage...

Whilst on about ergonomics, the lightweight AR has benefited from it's diet. Less wrist strain and easier to hold steady for very prolonged periods. Had a staring contest the same day last week with...

How very strange! These implements aren't made for growing plants...Plowshare site is elsewhere.

As for myself, I only kill what I'll eat or can donate to family or charities which are more than...

I'd actually brought the big rifle to get some practical inputs as to where the best spots for setting target frames up...

That ought to do. Might as well get it doing it's "re-purposed" task.

I sort of bungled my way into a 9 or 10 point buck last thursday, hence the somewhat extended absence from the forums. Did...

These two uppers will likely do the primary work for most of the season. The new (old 1-12" twist Colt barrel, but new assembly) upper knocks off almost a pound from the ol' favorite:

First day of "primitive" firearms:

Phooey, my favorite .58 caliber projectile has been discontinued by Hornady. They did a Great Plains bullets which is the most accurate thing I've shot out of any of my various milsurp rifled...

So good that it's 7,62x51.:madsmile:

I've worked up a new, lighter 20" upper for my deer hunting AR. May final zero it in the next few days. Had to load some more 55gr Sierras. If I get some meat...
