Several years ago my sister in law had shot at a buck and hit it . It was heading downfield to her north field . A hunter was standing by a coop (horse jump) and dropped the buck . He walked over to the buck and she had run down the lane to take another shot . She told the guy he was shooting onto posted land . He said he didn't know it was posted . She said there is a Posted Sign right on the post where he had rested his gun . He left and she got the deer . The posted signs were obvious !

You need to put something on it ( paint , stain , etc ) to get it to blend in . It really stands out in the woods .

My father in law gutted the first two deer that I killed and never explained anything to me . I learned through trial and error and from what I could find in books . When my son shot his 1st deer , he started to field dress it and asked me to do it . I told him that I was going to take my time and explained to him stem by step how I did it and when I shot my next one I had him do it and we went through it step by step . I have butchered my own deer by trial and error and do a fair job but there is much room for improvement .

I hunted with my Contender 7-30 waters one season and shot a doe at 55 yards . Killed her with a fireform load .

I asked about the Hornaday 120 gr HP and the Sierra 117 gr spitzer because those are the two that I have reloaded some test rounds already and have many more for reloading . I thought possibly someone may have used one or both of them for deer . I have taken deer with the 25-06 using Factory loaded Remington 120 gr Core Lokt's but between the Hornadays and the Sierras , I have at least 160 bullets that I can use .

Thanks for the heads up . Usually there is a big ad in the local PennySaver but nothing yet . -
Which is the better bullet to use in reloading in 25-06 for deer hunting ? I am considering the Hornaday 120 gr HP and the Sierra 117 gr spitzer . Any thoughts on either of these two bullets ?

Sometimes you can pick up a large piece of countertop being thrown out when someone is remodeling ...........

Carry a small camera with a telephoto lens and get pics !

I'll stick with my single pin sights . No need for multiple pins .

Dayum ! I really screwed up . The place I was talking about is Shooter's Supply in Bloomfield . I was way off base with Bullseye ! First time I have been wrong this year ! : .. : ... :
-
If that's the case , I owe a big apology . The place I thought was BullsEye Archery is the store on the southeast corner of Rt 444 and Main St (rt 30) in Bloomfield . If that isn't the place then I owe Bullseye an apology for dissing them . The place I was talking about has a long porch on the west side where you park and the bow shop is in the north end of the building ........

I was checking my SD cards from the trail cams with my Pentax camera but it has a small screen . This thing makes the pics quite visible ! -
The last time I was in there , they had some BP supplies / accessories . That was several years ago and I don't slow down when I go by the store .

Traditions Archery on East Henrietta Rd is an Elite Dealer . He has a pretty nice shop . The guy that runs the shop came from around the syracuse area

I have only been in Bullseye Archery a couple times and mad purchases . I thought they were pricy and the guy in the Archery / Gun area had an attitude . Maybe I wasn't spending enough money there . Anyway , I don't stop there anymore when I am in the area . I wonder if Bullseye dropped Elite or if it is the other way around . Maybe they are a good shop if you go there enough . They turned me off .

Yes , they sell the apples . A farmer sub-contracts the crop from them and has them picked . There are so many Fruit farms around that the deer don't devastate the crop but they are there . Even though they are anti-hunters , they are still close friends . Folks don't have to agree with everything I believe in to be friends ! :

I started deer hunting in 1965 . Since then , I have only met one DEC Officer while hunting and that was about 1966 . Joisey must have a lot more officers than we have . The only time I see any DEC guy now is when we have the Sportsmen's Dinners in the spring .

I used to sight mine in every year a month or so before gun season opened . Nothing changed . Then every two years . No change . Then every 5 years . No change . I have a 12 ga Winchester with a Weaver Qwik-Point sight from 1965 . I have shot a bunch of deer with it over the years but now about the only time I take it is opening day of gun season . Other than that , I take the muzzle loader because it's more fun to shoot . I havn't adjusted the sight on the shotgun in about 43 years .

Well , I guess i'm not going to drive down to New Jersey to hunt ! ???

Nice bear pic , Burt . I don't think i'd want to be walking around the camp unless I was packin' !
