Nobody can know from that picture.........sorry to say. Edit to add, I know that won't be the popular reply but it is what it is.

Call me Flipper...........

You keep reading on how things are “done”, I’ll keep “doing”.

Suburu Brat was a good ride for a buddy.

I love my wife's Rav4..........it handles great. Funny thing though, I don't know how they categorize it. It has a 4wd lock button that we never use 'cause it doesn't need it. It's a great vehicle on snowy roads, just not for busting through drifts and deep snow. (actually MUCH better for "just" snowy roads than my Tacoma) That said, the Rav4 couldn't do what my Tacoma did today. I had to open a driveway that had been plowed in by the Town Highway Department and motor up a half mile driveway to my buddies place. 12" of snow on the flats, drifts over the bumper and the entrance had to be 3'......No way I'd have tackled that with the Rav4.

Looks like rubs to me.......where the heck is there no snow in NYS?

I’ll gladly tote my binoculars on any deer hunt. Maybe you’re interested in killing any deer while I’d like to confirm if what I’m looking at is a buck or doe and if a buck, I want to know what I’m shooting. YMMV

Great, make me look bad. Again.... Happy Birthday Gramps!!!!!!!

Bowling banquet?

It's Brian, Bud is his cousin.

We had a local missle alert today here........

That there is priceless. It’s going to be a long winter.......

FSW is going to pass out soon from lack of sleep.............this thread "has" him. I certainly didn't start it to twist his crank but I think his crank is twisted.

Good deal

Excellent!

Give it a rest, will you?

I wouldn't waste your time or breath, he's in the business of growing and selling big bucks to eventually be shot by rich fat cat "shooters" and you'll never sway him. Don't ever confuse the "shooter" with a "hunter", wildly different.

I won't even bother to retort your 1st paragraph as it's too crazy....... As to the 2nd paragraph, you'll need to head back up to my comment and properly quote it. The 80gr bullet would be a Barnes TTSX, not just any 80gr bullet. Do you have any experience with Barnes bullets?

A nice big pickle crock would look good on that hearth, stuffed with kindling.

What makes it not a pickle crock?

Today I got the latest issue of "New York Outdoors" and on the front page is an article announcing the death of Charles Alsheimer. It was noted on this site a couple days ago that he had died recently. I won't go into all the details of the article as I'm getting tired but, one thing that struck me was a portion of a quote that a few guys on here (and you KNOW who you are) should read and really think about. The quote is this "I learned long ago that a hunter's life is not about the antlers, it's about the joy of the journey". Simple but powerful stuff and something I hope I never loose sight of. RIP Charles Alsheimer

And I wouldn't hesitate to shoot that same 205lb buck with the 80gr TTSX in any position he presented me.

This type of stuff just keeps the arthritis in my fingers at bay..........

How about an 80gr bullet? Now I'll say that this is the only Barnes bullet I've ever recovered as all others have exited. This is (and I apologize to those that have seen these pics from me before) a Barnes TTSX 6mm bullet shot from my .243 Muzzle velocity approx 3300fps. The shot was 235 yards head on at a mature Pennsylvania doe. It hit her square in the chest and flipped her over like a burger on a grill. Being as PA shooting hours are 30 minutes past sunset I didn't get down to her until it was pretty dark. I dressed her off but noted that there didn't appear to be an exit wound. I butchered her like all other deer I shoot but save a one roast from the hindquarter, you know, the one that looks like a football?? Well that winter I was slicing up that roast as we were going to make some stew and it needed to be in chunks. As I sliced away I felt a slight "dragging" on the knife. I pulled it open and found this bullet......stem to stern on an adult (maybe 100lbs dressed) doe. It still weighs what it started at, 80 grains. If I'd have used a 140 grain TTSX in my 7mm-08 it might still be going or at the very least ended up in West Virginia.

Don't be silly......
