    pretty close. 176# and taken in the SZ ML season. wasn't a drop of fat left on that one which made it very hard to cape out. I have noticed a big difference in Dressed weight throughout the season. The one I took that hit the 205 mark was in NZ (5H) and was the second weekend of regular season up there. He was not really that much bigger than this deer in frame but was much heavier and loaded with fat.

    I haven't commented once on the whole wounding VS killing posts in this thread.
  3. Culvercreek hunt club
    huh?
  4. Culvercreek hunt club
    anyone wanna guess the weight on the one on the left? for comparison a nice healthy 1.5 year old on the right.
  5. Culvercreek hunt club
    but which will kill one in a wider variety of circumstances? I know I would not hesitate to take a frontal or hard quartering to shot inside 200 with my '06 or 308. I wouldn't do it with my 223

    I can understand the rational of using the round in military and an assault situation. But to get more in line with what "we" do, how many snipers use the 5.56 as compared to other rounds?
  7. Culvercreek hunt club
    they make rounds for it that are designed to do as you asked. Where the conversation and argument comes in is generated by the one word in you comment that I bolded.

    I've shot quite a few that were around the 175 mark. two at the 195 and one at 205. These were all field dressed and scaled. I haven't seen a 250 yet by anyone I know. I feel they are pretty rare a I would bet that many that are claimed to be that are weighed by how difficult they drag and not by using a scale...lol

    If it is all you have then understand it's limitations. I am a big fan of using the most reliable caliber that you can proficiently shoot. I would rather see a hunter over gunned than undergunned and I believe a .223 is under gunning yourself IMO

    check out the state forests in 7R. I hunt private near them and after Thanksgiving weekend they are ghost towns.

    with a stack on and the door vent open it will sound like a jet engine.
  12. Culvercreek hunt club
    did you look at the interactive map I linked here?
  13. Culvercreek hunt club
    If I am going to get a mount I "sleeve the deer from the front of the hind quarters right up to the head. The front legs are "sleeved" to half way below the elbow. I really like to let the taxidermist decide how they want it cut for the mount I want and this way there is NEVER a question if there is enough hide. (Moog---perfect descriptor you had there...sleeve)

    I haven't run into any inconsistency using the Firenocks.

    Wonderful idea. A ingestion. might want to try to seal one and see how it comes out since the antler is so porous. Might work very well like they stabilize wood for knife handles. http://dcknives.blogspot.com/p/wood-stabilization.html

    if it is a crack I would fire it up outside prior to install and see how it holds up. I would also make sure there is one BIG non-flammable hearth under it.

    why not lust look up the owner of the property and contact him/her? May not even be the person she had the issue with.
  18. Culvercreek hunt club
    over heating or dropping?

    http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/45415.html On the interactive mapper there is TONS of public land.

    They do sell it in putty form. I redid our box stove at camp with it and it has held up better than the original. Pretty tedious to repack the joints though.
  21. Culvercreek hunt club
    with a proper chimney and a good draft your bigger problem will be keeping it throttled down enough so it doesn't drive you out of there. I would fire brick the bottom and one brick on its side down the sides. I would lasso stand them up in the back. The very back of the stove will be the hot spot with the draft from the chimney.

    she really want a manual with a clutch? Or does she just want to be able to shift (without a clutch). I can't think of any utility style that come with manual and a clutch currently or in the recent past.

    I put this up every year and it helps some visualize what I meant in my previous post about picking an impact point and visualizing the path of an arrow or even a bullet. (applies mainly to the broadside application. This is a cross section right behind that leg (elbow) point
  24. Culvercreek hunt club
    agreed. Need to envision where those vitals are in 3D and picture the arrow path. hitting that 10 ring on a 3D at the target surface is NOT the shot you want at the steep angle of a treestand. Nothing beats an exit hole
  25. Culvercreek hunt club
    in a situation like that (you didn't say the yardage) I can't imagine not taking the chest shot instead. I never understood going for a smaller target when a larger one is presented. The vertebrae is maximum 3" wide on the neck bones. Too much possibility of a wounded deer in my book with the head and neck being the parts that move the most on a deer.
