DEERSLAM

Great pics Tommy

Nice pair for sure. I can't believe he doesn't have an eyeguard on the one side. Is it broke off and the pic doesn't show it?

Exit hole was about the size of a quarter. Couldn't really tell if the bullet held together very well. I haven't been all that happy with the performance of the Ballistic tip in my .270. I have the new Barnes MRX on order and I will be trying to come up with a load with those.

BONE HUNTING MACHINES

Nice setup Christian

Happy Birthday Nathan (Buckhorn) It was great meeting you in Reno at the SCI convention. Have a great day Also Happy Bday to Tracker and buckoff

Casey, Used a 130gr Nosler Ballistic tip. It was about a 250yd shot. The pig was on top of a knob and I didn't want him to roll off the back of the hill so I went for a high shoulder shot. Didn't have a great rest so I ended hitting him in the neck and the bullet exited at the base skull on the off side. Needless to say he didn't go anywhere Performance? I think with that shot placement any bullet would of killed him in his tracks. No wasted meat.

Thanks guys Keith, It's great to get the youngsters out. My 6 year old son, Hunter, loves to go out on hikes with the old man. It's the best

Thanks Marshall and az4life

Muskrat, Best of luck on the new job. I know what you are going through. On March 30th I will, after 22yrs, be out of a job. I will hopefully be starting a new job by mid April. It's going to be strange after 22yrs of doing the same job and starting something different.

Lets try this one.

This is a test photo of my hog from last weekends hunt, hope it works.

Wish me luck!!?? Sounds like trouble to me. Must have a very understanding fiancee or maybe she don't know

Father and son hunts are the best. My father is my best huntin buddy and my sons are getting close to being able to hunt. I've taken my oldest on a few hunts already and it has been awesome. I just need to be careful on which hunts I take him on. Don't want him to get too cold or board. I look forward to spending lots of time in the hills with my two boys in the near future

Happy Birthday Scott As the others have said I always look foward to your stories and pics. Have a great day

Now I know what to use for bait when I'm in Canada this Sept.

WOW Great story!

Muley. Poachers suck Here in CA if they keep killin bears for the bladders it's going to reduce the quota for us hunters.

And no matter what success we as hunters experience, it's the relationships and time spent afield with freinds like these that truly mean the most. ANDY <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So very well said LittleBear

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! Way to go guys Thanks for the pics and story.

Oh and congrats to DEERSLAM on the successful hunt! What did you shoot your boar with? Hope to see some pics soon! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used my .270 As soon as I upload the pics I'll try postin em.

Just got back from my hog hunt here in CA. It was a great hunt and time. I was lucky to get a 240lb boar and called in a yote who will no longer be eatin fawns. I will try and post pics later.

I would take a .338 but if the biggest you have is the .300 I would go with that with a well constructed bullet. When I went to AK. I took my .338 even though it was over kill cause I was in the land of the giant coastal bears. Just gives you alittle more confidence and thats a good thing. How many days are you going for? I you guys get a moose down plan on loosing a couple of days of your hunt to packing the meat out. Also bring the very best gear you can afford, AK is no place to find out something does not perform. It could mean your life. On a lighter note, sounds like an awsome hunt, enjoy

Wow great buck, congrats to your son. I believe what was meant by your son being ruined is that it may be along time before he gets a buck anywhere near as big

Great pics everyone. I'm glad you are all getting the weather that you where hoping for and then some
