Any projectile can be deflected by branches/brush/twigs INCLUDING shotgun slugs... Tiny toothpick sized twigs are probably not an issue..Pencil sized twigs might be... A lot depends on the distance of the twigs/brush from the target. The closer the target is to the potential source of deflection, the less the effect will be.. In simple terms, if the bush is CLOSE to the deer, the deflection might be negligible.. If the bush is close to your muzzle the deflection will be much greater, possibly enough to cause a miss or a bad hit..

Why not ?? The bullets are expanding type hunting bullets... No laws against them... Does the word BALLISTIC make them evil ?

After about 50 years of deer hunting, I can't believe that some of you folks WORRY about such s**t as taking dump in the woods..

I use the same seat, Steve...Problem is, I have a habit of LOSING them in the woods...I'm on my third one now..LOL..

Is he doing it on your property ? If not you should mind your own business..

Granola bars, Paydays, Snickers, Almond Joy, Reese cups, and the PIECE de la RESISTANCE, a FRIED SPAM SANDWICH !!

He's a keeper ! Just standing there, looking dumb, with his mouth open ? Does it remind you of YOURSELF at the local pig palace ?...<<grin>>...

That's Doewhacker's poop.... He's been eating milk duds again... I hate to give you the bad news, but I suspect he has been POACHING on you... Be sure to stock up on Preparation H...Wherever Doewhacker is, Steve 863 can't be far behind...

Getting married the first day of GUN season ?? That's really SICK, man...!!.. I never heard of such a thing.. You should consider cultivating a better class of friends..

This will be my 49th opening day of NY gun season.. Even though I don't get as pumped as I used to get, the anticipation is still there.. Stands are all in place, rifles are sighted in, gear is all assembled.. All I'll have to do is get up Saturday morning and make the 5 minute drive to the property... Hunt safe and good luck to everyone...
-
It will probably take me a couple of hours to get all of my duck/goose/turkey hunting gear out of my truck and replace it with my deer hunting stuff...A labor of love...<<sigh>>....

If you have a Doe Tag, are you going to use it opening day or wait?
Pygmy replied to burmjohn's topic in Deer Hunting
It has been many, many years since I filled a NY doe tag opening day. I feel my chances at a buck are HIGHEST on opening day and I don't want to risk spooking a buck by shooting a doe. HOWEVER, I have eaten a couple of doe tags in that unit (8X) in recent years after passing up does early and then not getting another chance at a good ( adult) one.. So I may just decide to pop a big doe Saturday or Sunday, as long as I am reasonably sure there is not a buck with her. -
You're about 1/4 " off...Better make a scope adjustment..<< GRIN>>....

Do you have the model with the opening lever on the starboard side of the reciever, or is it on top of the tang, like most single barrels ?

What time will you be in your stand / blind / spot on opening morning?
Pygmy replied to burmjohn's topic in Deer Hunting
Well, at least he walks the 300 yards to his stand..LOL... -

A friend of mine runs a 300 yard extension cord from his cabin to his tower blind. He has satellite TV along with the usual heaters and other comforts. -

Don't worry, I'll be wearing my DEPENDS, as usual... -
Nice bear... Cool pictures...

Yeah, I love it... One opening morning maybe 20-25 years ago, I decided to try to count the shots I heard opening morning.. By 9:00 AM I had counted over 200 shots, and quit counting. Since rifles have become legal here, I hear MUCH less shooting, and many times it is a single shot, rather than the volleys of 3 to 5 that were so common when everyone was using shotguns.

Miranda Lambert is meeting me in my fully carpeted, insulated box blind about about 9:00 PM the night before opening day.. When is legal shooting time ? Not that I CARE.... -
Although I nearly always have a revolver ( usually a 4" Smith M 66) when I am mowing or working on the property, I don't usually carry it while I am hunting.. Got enough OTHER stuff to carry, I suppose, and after all, I DO have a rifle...

I saw the movie, but don't remember the line.. I was probably asleep at the time..That's how I watch most movies these days. Come to think of it, it's time for my NAP...<<yawn>>...
