    260 rem vs 7mm-08 vs 243 vs ?

    I was always a little leery on a .243 for big game until recently. Then I saw the damage from a factory 55gn bullet. I now load hornady sst 95gn and have no doubt they will get the job done. I do prefer a larger caliber/bullet, but its all about where that bullet hits at the end of the day. If she isn't comfortable with the big guns a .243 will work just fine.

    Why so small of a caliber? My wife is fairly small framed and she has a 7mm and has killed a deer with my 300wsm. Has she tried to shoot a larger caliber or is she afraid of the recoil?

    Loc Jaw question

    I want to get a lock jaw set up for a savage model 10 for my youngest on his deer hunt. How does the loc jaw attach to the tripod?

    Javelina Processing

    Yeah I noticed that with my deer that the silver skin I didn't get did get stuck in the grinder. I must have got lucky or did a good job cleaning this meat doesn't smell. It actually smells better then my deer I got a few years back.

    I guess I'll take this as a sign to not wait for the leftover list.

    Most hunters are not honest.

    I 100% agree that you need confidence but over confidence or not being honest with your own abilities is what I think the topic was about.

    I dont understand

    Maybe they are lacing the food plots with cocaine for a better show?

    Yup I thought I was the $ h! T when i got my early bull tag this year till I came home with nothing but memories. Learned a lot and now I know what I need to work on and what to expect next time. I don't think the article was a dig at anyone just that sometimes we can think we have every angle worked out. We kid ourselves thinking we have the upper hand on a hunt when we never really do.

    37A&B input/suggestions

    Last year we hunted off freeman road on the north side of black mountain. Didn't see any pigs but had a lot of sign. It was cold the weekend we were able to hunt. Supposed to be a little hotter this time around. Should i look for a new area or just stick to my plan on the shady side of the mountain. I was thinking about taking a trip from the south side and work up the washes into the mountain also to try to get these kids a shot at something.
