Deer hunting BS thread

Or you could always hang em on the christmas tree A red nose wasn't the only thing Rudolph was proud of

 

I've seen a few squirrel mounts they'd go great on lol

 

We had a couple deer mounted by an older woman, she did good work. First time I walked in her shop I was amazed. She had 4 squirrels sitting at a table playing poker and some other odd things. What got me was the old car sitting in the driveway that hadn't been driven in years. There was a cat in the back window, I said doesn't the cat get hot with the windows up? She said no, that was his favorite place to lay so when he died that's where I put him

 

Congrats Jay!! Extra points for including the taco in pic!!

 

The obvious answer is to reload what you have. Otherwise, WalMart will always have 308s.

 

….or buy spares if’n you use a weird one!

 

.270

 

I may try this next time.

 

Finally made it up to see the rack my buddies step-dad clipped

 

You could always reload for the .308 It's a great relaxing hobby that will allow you to fine tune ammo to your specific rifle. If you're looking for a round that will take you into your senior years with very little recoil, I'd include a 6.5 Grendel in your search. There are quite a few smaller caliber rounds that won't rip your shoulder off and will kill deer quite efficiently. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

Makes gutting in the field way easier IMO. Only downside is if you’re hunting in warmer weather and not going to skin/process it soon-ish it does leave more “warmth” down there. I just shove a bag of ice in the cavity sometimes if I’m not processing quickly. Gives me peace of mind.

 

I don't trust myself to pack explosives.

 

Hell of a shot right there.

 

Congrats!

 

Still is sometimes. I have a rem bdl .280. It’s a shooter.

 

I deer hunt with either a .308, 30-06, 30-30, or 20ga with slugs

 

I'm a fan of common rounds.

 

Right?!.
He said it walked up right underneath the stand.
So he was shooting straight down.

 

There's a bigger 8pt lingering around.
Thinking these rubs n' scrapes might be his.
