i dont know, thats a weeks worth of pickin the ole' cotton. its a lil steep, tell him ill give him $50 and he covers shipping.

just got one of these from my grandpa, it fits my little brother but i dont know anything about the cartridge. is it enough for coues? i do not know if he is gonna end up shooting it or not but i am looking into it. what do yall think about it? thanks!

im telling yall, no one is going to shoot a buck smaller than mine. yes ernesto mine is smaller than yours. lets put it this way, when my buck jumped up i put my zeiss on him and could not see spikes. when the sun changed then i saw the spikes and got sat down to shoot.

that is a nice cat! hes a bigun also!

and like doug said, i will arm wrestle you.... but dont expect to win

ernesto, your buckis bigger than mine lol congrats!

the spike i killed this year had some red/orange around his tail but i think it was because he was a young deer and nothing other than that.

Scott, turn ur dang cell phone on!

that a boy! cant wait till next monday! IT IS ON!!!!!! and you cant even make fun of me anymore, i got a real quail vest AND A BAD butt OVER/UNDER!!!!!! that a boy! nicely done!

hes at least 108, probably bigger excellant mass on both of the bucks!

redman, i am in the same boat as you. my little brother is turning 10 in feburary and will be hopefully hunting with my dad and i next year. he is the same size as your son and we are having a hard time finding him a gun. i am thinking of a model 7 in 7mm08 but i sure would like to shoot one before i let him shoot one. i also have a 22-250 and 243 in the back of my head but am not 100% sure yet

0alright, my little brother is going to start hunting with my dad and i here next year (this means my dad and brother will hunt together and i can hike a lot!!! ) but we need to get him a gun. i have decided on the rifle, a remingtin model 7 stainless synthetic, but i have not decided on the caliber. i know you are going to say .243 but i do not like that idea and will not be going with that. i have been looking at a .260 or 7mm-08. i really do not know anything about these two calibers. i have been comparing velocities in both and they are very close. i do handload and i figure i should be able to get about 3000 fps with either one. i like the 7mm-08 because it shoots a bigger bullet ( say for elk) my brother is a very small kid compared to my dad and i. he is very skinny and i do not thinkhe will handle recoil well. i was started out wrong with a gun that didnt fit and it was a 308 with 165s and no recoil pad ( OUCH) so i want to get him started out right as far as recoil goes. whitetail will be the main thing for this gun, with a pig hunt here or there ont he side. for elk he will shoot the 270.. thanks! but please stay with in 260 or 7mm-08!!!

benbrown, awful nice of you, i think i might have to take you up on that! thanks

that is an awesome buck! looks like you hit him right where i shot my buck, low in the shoulder! hes awesome! congrats!

doug, i have had him hold my 30-06, which as you know is the same gun as you mentioned and it did not fit him. i do not know what we are going to do for his as he is a little guy. i have a lot of exploring to do and i will be taking him to sportsmans wharehouse when i come home for thanksgiving to see what rifle fits him. my 30-06 was really close to fitting him, and our old 270 was also really close but still both a tad too long. bchoitz, i never said I was gonna buy it

at my young age i am mostly 1 and 2. i will start holding out now moving on to step 3 until later in the hunt, then i am step 1!!! for the most part i am step 1 and 2 as i will shoot anything legal on the last day!

i thinkn it defientaly has to do with experience. this was the first year i have shot at a spike and i will never do it again( unless it is a ATLEAS 18 total score spike!) now that i have 3 bucks under my belt, it is going to be easier and easier for me to let the forkies and little 3x3's go. however, i do not know if i will be able to let a 80-85" buck walk unless it is opening day of my december hunt next year 90" is always going down unless i have a bigger buck spotted and am stalking him. 100" always going down no matter what! and of course same applies to anything bigger.

1)shooter 2)shooter 3) shooter DONT MISS 4)shooter........ how many rounds do i have? 5)shooter.... miss, 10 feet high, miss 10 feet low... miss 10 feet left aw dang hes gone 6) man that things a monster!!! turn around and walk the other way!!!!

thats the biggest typical whitetail i have ever seen!!!!!!!! congrats!

107"??? i think hes bigger than that! awesome job!

i should be getting pictures of this monster and my dads dink this weekend.

went out for the last afternoon to try and find a buck. well, about 400 yards from the truck, a buck popped up. i heard them spook and they stopped 200 yards away lookin at me. i was sitting down and had the bipod out. missed the 1st shot, smoked him the 2nd, 4th,5th and last shot. i think heck go about 11"

i HAVE to hunt close to the road, my old man has bad hips and he cant really keep up with me. yeah i am a big overweight semi out of shape kid, but i can flat out get up and go if need be in the hills. if i had it my way, my dad and i would hike about a mile to a mile and a half away from camp and then start hunting. this could be done, but we would have to leave really early and the terrain would have to be some what easy or else he is in a lot of pain. we are not really head hunters so the closer we can find bucks the better!

HAHAHA so true! actually had to do that for my best friend once ( i hope Michelle doesnt read thie ) hahahah

i have been cathing a little heat on a different forum for shooting my deer so many times. like my story states, my second shot hit him low in the shoulde, catching the bottom part of the lung. i knew that he was hit there because my dad was spotting my shot thourgh his doctors and told me he saw the bullet hit. there was also blood coming out of his nose and mouth. my question is: i knew he was hit there, and i knew he would die from this shot but i kept putting rounds through him because he was not down yet. am i wrong in doing this or should i have let him die after the first time i hit him? thanks!
