Thanks for the input everybody. We’re going this weekend to feel out a couple and see what we both like. My daughter is 15. She expressed interest in wanting to get out into the woods so we’ve been hanging trail cams here and there. She seems to enjoy it. It’s quality time spent with a teenager...
Tired of getting texts from people with their deer during rifle season. Haven’t had much luck bow hunting so I want to get a nice rifle for next season. Looking for something strictly for deer with lighter recoil so my daughter can use it also. From my research online and here, I think a 243 or...
That’s true. I haven’t sat many times this year, but three sits I was there the whole day pretty much. 5+ hours. Only seen one small buck with no shot.
No signs of rubs, scrapes, deer activity whatsoever. Yeah it was nice that I wasn’t freezing my butt off, but we need some cooler weather. We’re supposed to get some snow this week so maybe I’ll be out this weekend.
Somewhat related…. How’s ammo availability for you 25-06 users? Are you finding them regularly at stores or no? This is a caliber I’m lookin at for my new rifle. I know it’s not as popular as others but I feel it meets my needs for white tails.
Old threads are very informational. I’m looking for one for my daughter and was leaning towards a 25-06. My FIL has a Ruger M77 in that caliber and it is a sweet gun. Still doing some research though. Ammo availability is what’s stopping me.
