That's the norm usually I think around my place, give or take a few lbs, I think the 2 I just told you about came from the Southern Railroad property, it runs adjacent to my property, and absolutely no hunting there ever, only thing I can figure
Thank you for your reply,I knew he was big, but got
Thank you, and yes he was, amazing , 2 weeks before him, I checked in a 7 pointer he weighed 186 field dressed
Got that right just seems like yesterday my daughter was in her teens, wish would of been interested in learning how to shoot, she didn't want anything to do with it, when I would bring deer home?? No Ashlee to be found, she's 39 now and lives in Vermont, to damn cold up there for my old broke...
I know, I had a false sense of security and reliability with the 6 or 7 going down prior, not only that the yotes that went nighty night with it, the tissue damage and traumatic damage that round inflicts crazy thanks for your reply, and hope your season goes well, I have 1 month to finish out...
I absolutely love my 30-06 the reason my .223 is on the front porch, all my rifles are set up with bipods,slings, ammo straps on the stocks, these rifles are set up focused, and on target,I have yardage markers on every corn pile ( 7) of them, from 75 yds out to 300, I leave them out all night...
Thank you for the input and reply, I've also killed several deer with the same setup as with the Doe, the chic staying with me said yesterday she saw buzzards flying in the distance the direction she might of ended up on the run, but I get off work it's already dark, so I don't get to see the...
Sure I was at 16, between the v shape in the tree, with iron sights, thinking back me and my long time friend, we both at that age could shoot fairly well, mainly because the summer's we stayed in huge pastures shooting ground hogs, with high powered rifles, Lyle, his rifle was a 22-250, good...
Ok actually I
I had to think about it with whitetail, in Virginia up on this friend of ours property, 2 of us hunting, we were young, I was carrying a 7 mm Mauser, iron sights, walking down this dirt path, road ? I don't know wasn't big enough for a truck or a car, anyway rifle cradled in my...
I bet so, I got a good one I post it tomorrow about a 305 lb sow I shot in the head with my 30-30 there were 6 of them, the one I shot I thought was the smallest, and loading it up in a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder, by myself, glad I wasn't on video, somewhere,

Hmmmm, ok, let's talk coyotes
Ok, let's talk bullet placement on coyotes at 450yds + small target 90% of the time moving, after deer season is gone for the year, that's what I be doing, large hay fields across the Rd from my house, set up my predator caller, and they will come, 31 dead in the...
Yeah tell me about it, I'm from Virginia, and I have killed some big dear through out the years, I couldn't believe the size of him either, but 3 weeks before I hauled one in a 7 pointer, his G2 was gone, but he weighed 186, field dressed, that was a big boy also, I've got one has been running...
Oh yes, I really was lucky for him to be where he was, yes I knew that he was a big boy when the cross hairs were on him, his neck, and as long as his body was, I didn't pay any attention with his rack, just knew he was a buck by his build, but thanks for replying, hope your season has been good...
Yes sir nice deer!! You drug that deer by your self? If you did hope it wasn't too far, I wrecked my Tahoe June 24th of this year, broke my collar bone in 2 places,and cut a tendon in my neck, it's a task just to get the deer where I can hook up with my mower to get to the house,
But you know my rifles are zeroed in at exactly 104 yds, I verify at 225, I might have shot high, .223 has a bullet rise of 1.4 inches straight out the muzzle, who knows I have been upset about it all week,
Yep!!!! Blew my mind, I've seen the carnage and devastation that hot round does, if I wasn't the experienced marksman that I am, I would think differently
Yes, she is so focused on being a part of the deer recovery, I got greedy and just knew in my mind my dog was a fail safe scenario, yes that cartridge is a wicked nasty bullet,
