Deer hunting BS thread

Nice good luck

 

Just had a decent 7 or 8 walk through. Down to 1 buck tag though, so had to let him go to wait on the big boy. Watched him make a scrape in a pine thicket. He didn’t care about my grunts or rattle. Just made his scrape and walked off.

 

so... is there really this many places to measure? i always thought it was just inside spread, main beams, each point length and then circumference at the bases (and i found out 7 or 8 years ago you measure circumference infront of each point also... up to a g7 or something)... is tip to tip spread really a thing? like i feel like alot of deer are getting nearly double inches just because of that?

The guy that hunts the property next to us sent this to me after I shot mine Sunday night. It was on the 13th and he seems to be chasing a doe so maybe he spread some more good genes around before he expired

 

skunk ape bedded down?

 

These buggers are always hanging out in the road and in the field on my way home after work.

 

clearly trespassing, they need to be taken out

 

Yeah, the sign clearly states "DO NOT ENTER"

 

unbelievable how brazen they are!

 

Ikr.

My tax dollars hard at work for the South Carolina Education System.

 

rebate in your future, i mean ya got proof that the system clearly isn't working...…….

 

I don't think tip to tip and greatest spread actually count in the score. Also, I think there are only 4 circumference measurements per side, I think.

 

This is the way I've always thought it to be.

yeah thats more what i was thinking... im just going of my pic and i low balled my numbers and figured it relatively symmetrical
G1 5" (x2)
G2 8" (x2)
G3 8" (x2)
MB 20" (x2) i feel this is being my most low balled number
IS 18"
Circ 3" (x2)
2.5" (x2)
2" (x2)
1.5" (x2)

so that got me to 102 and like i said i feel like i left a good bit on the table, so i would hope that it aint missing 120" by much

all estimates made by measure how long my bird finger is up to my index knuckle (6") so i found the rough length of the left g3 to be ~8" and eyeballed the rest

 

Meat in the freezer!

 

so 308 savage hunts with 30-06 remington... interesting

 

Could it be a 7400?

I have the one before it in 30-06, the Sportsman 74 Auto. Also have the box, my first rifle at age 16.

 

Congratulations!

 

my dad has a 742... like did remington just decide to make the same gun for years and change the name every 3 or 4 years just to screw with people? i heard oh gorgia fish boy say his was a 750

 

The 742 was a Woodmaster wasn’t it? What was the pump?
