LOL! Get over it Casey, I told you it's over.... Then stop coming by my Tell your wife to stop inviting me over.... Sometime she wants to downgrade to Vienna sausage.

You need the practice.Whatever Jenner! 1 shot 1 kill. How many rounds did you use this year?

You need the practice.

As previously stated, Zeiss hd5 locking Target turrets. But Adam, let's be real the distance was just way too far for you and you shanked the shot.

I'd probably opt for as little human scent in the area as possible, especially since you don't know what direction he will ve coming from.

If you have good, solid 4G there you can hotspot your phone.

My wife shot her mule deer this year with a 100 grain Sierra pro hunter. The bullet hit the very back soft cartilage part of the shoulder blade and blew up. None of the bullet made it into the vitals. Fortunately some of the bullet fragments made it into the spinal cord and put the deer down. The shot was at 160 yards out of her 243. Just thought id share our only experience with the Sierras. We'll be trying the 95 grain ballistic tips next due to their supposed thicker jacket design.Why not go with a bonded bullet like Accubond, or monometal, TTSX or gmx?To be honest with you, the biggest reason is price. I'm all about paying for the best If it's necessary, and we had decided that the accubond was gonna be our next choice but I came across some interesting reads about the 95 grain ballistic tips and how they were designed with a thicker jacket wall than most other similar 6mm bullets. I have yet to read of one in that particular weight failing and most of what I've read suggest that people almost always get an exit. I don't quite trust the monometals yet. Call me paranoid I guess but I've read about too many bullet failures from the monometals, although I've read about way more success than failures. Maybe I'm relying on Internet research a little too much... Since it was from Internet research that I determined a Sierra pro hunter was a good choice in the first place haha. Now you got me thinking. P. S., sorry for hijacking the thread o. P. Top tier bullet is cheap insurance for an expending hunt.

I was out there hunting just days before that happened. Visited his memorial twice on the late November hunt.

I was a huge fan of the Barnes in my 2:57. With the way they're designed, you would have definitely maximize your penetration with the 243.

Look up for snakes too....

Talk about a serious waste of time.

What about TTSX?

This blazit dude has been low balling on everything. Blazit, it's annoying. Make a decent offer, or get lost.

I can't decide if i should call you an idiot, or invite you to be my new hunting partner!

Thursday, I was supposed to go down and meet up with my buddy Josh, to be in our glassing spot early Friday morning. At 0130 Thursday I left work, taking sick leave not feeling well. 0400, 0730 and 1200 I'm violently puking. Not a good start. Once I get it out of my system I feel ok and head out of town. Friday morning, josh and i are up and at em early. Well, having not eaten for 30+ hours really took its toll on me and the hike in was brutal. I kept telling Josh "I'm fat and out of shape, but not THIS fat and out of shape. I've got nothing in the tank!" But, I eventually made it to where he was and we began glassing. Kind of a slow morning, about 10 does and 5 small bucks, but we persevered on. Now came the tedious, sometimes slow and sleepy mid day glassing. I was falling asleep, but was determined to keep eyes on the hill best I could. At 1130, I snapped awake when I spotted the outline of a deer tail, then a rump then ears then horns! I could see he was a solid 3 point, so I went to get Josh. I got josh on him, as well as my spotting scope. We both agreed, low 90's looking buck. With a virgin rifle, in a new unit, with a new hunting partner, and a empty freezer from not killing last year, I knew this buck was likely in serious trouble. The buck bedded 10 minutes later before we could do anything about it. For the next 5 hours we stared at the bush. Nothing! At 415, Josh spotted the buck walking out. I put the binos back on him and confirmed I was going to shoot him. The sig kilo read 475. A few clicks on the scope, a round in the chamber and the 28 nosler was ready to rock. At that time the buck turned tail and headed back into the bush. About 15 minutes later he came out the other side. One squeeze of the trigger (admitidly missing my mark but still instantly killing him) the buck was rolling down the steep face he was on. A few pictures, gutless method, heavy packs and back to the truck we went.

I absolutely love hunting, especially elk hunting it's one of my most favorite things in the world. But on the other hand when the hunting sucks it's one of if not the most frustrating things in the world!

I have literally this exact set up. Same cover and all. Love mine.

Noooo, it's a Whitetails Unlimited.... just like RMEF, DU, etc.

Probably to late to the party and she's already been rutted Hoghuntr probably beat me to it. Hoping for a second estrus.

My favorite buck of the year by far.

Tennis shoes.

I've been trying to rut up my doe all day. She keeps saying no.

That's not a serious post is it? If you've got a dang deer tag you shold be hunting!
