Yes that’s the angle eject , I understand the feelings on the scope but I wouldn’t use it without even with the TruGlo sites The scope makes all the difference

I have a Winchester 30-30 AR It’s all drilled for a scope . I would like to use it for deer out to 50 yards on one wooded spot I have . The iron sights and my 65 yr old eyes don’t work good together Weaver makes the bases and I can get a Leupold 1.5 -4 x20 scope pretty cheap

Humm dunno i should have weighed weighed this old girl

Yea seems like the cars parked at the normal places are few and far between, There’s a farm next to my property that a group of 5 guys hunt , I saw one truck there this year and only a few days. I hunt alone 5 different properties and I have those to myself , but I didn’t hear many shots I’m pretty much done , two nice does in the freezer , the buck I shot and didn’t find till early the next morning was torn up by coyotes , made me sick … Wife pickled two hearts , I cut up two livers for dog treats ,,, I may still go out for fun , there’s one nice buck I was trying to target and he’s still alive so …,

Bottom of the neck , midway front to back ?

Where do u aim

https://www.ronspomeroutdoors.com/blog/243-winchester-vs-30-30-win

I thought the .243 ballistics were better than the 30-30

I’m shooting 100 grain Winchester power points It broke her shoulder , hole where it broke thru the ribs was the size of a quarter .. it took the top of her heart off . Exiting hole quarter size busted thru the ribs About 60 yard shot

Rest

I shot it again last night

Found her , she was 20 yards away , blew the top off her heart

Where did you place the shot and what caliber firearm

We’ll add another , 60 yard shot at a big doe broadside , .243 that I’ve killed lots of deer with .. Looked like she dropped on her knees for a second then walked into the woods .. looked for over an hour , two people , can’t even find a drop of blood .. Im getting ready to hang it up ..WTH

Are you saying the center horizontal or vertical or both

I see all these guys saying neck shots they drop in their tracks Are they just shooting where the neck meets the body ? Seems like lots of room for error

Yea well I’ve seen lots of deer , the one the coyotes got upset me . Well I’m back at it

Started with crossbow , missed an 8 point , shot under him , he comes back 4 days later , I shot him at half an hour of light left . Lost the blood , came back at sunup the next day and found him , coyotes tore him open, Then shot at a doe with the crossbow hit a twig , complete miss Then had a very nice 8 tight under my stand , couldn’t get a hood shot before he noticed me and took off The very next day a decent 6 comes broadside , goes behind a tree and we play the waiting game .. he won Sunday I did kill a nice doe with the .243 so I hope that broke the curse . Ive checked zero on my crossbow at 20/30/40 and it’s dead on .. So I guess it’s me

Agree, I’m just not crazy about tracking in low light IF they don’t drop

I bought Arctic Shield bibs and jacket They are thin but man I’m not warm in them . The other day it was in the high 30s windy .. I had long johns too and bottom , sweat shirt , sweat pants , the bibs and jacket . I was not overly warm and after like 3 hrs I was shivering . i do have a heated vest that helps but seems like there must be something better without sweating to death walking to my stand

Much better

I have two spots that I need to clear , three times I’ve see a buck walk behind this crap and I can’t get a clear shot I can do it quick with a hand saw and pruner Think it will mess up the area if I do it tomorrow ? I can be in and out in 15 minutes

Hope I can get it done with the rifle , killed an 8 with the crossbow , got dark , found the next morning and coyotes ripped him open Shot at a doe , glanced off a twig , missed , shot at another 8 , shot under him ,, it’s not the crossbow it’s me Hope tomorrow I break this bad luck

I’m starting to see activity now Couple decent bucks last night when I was on my stand , not any good crossbow shot few does too ,,, some evening movement on cams

As ready as I’m ever going to be
