    4.5 would be correct, I am going to mail the lower jaw to confirm. i have a history with this buck and didn't even know it when i shot. last year he broke every one of his tines off in archery and had two long main beams left with no points. he was 3.5 then. I weighed him with a muddy hanging scale, im not sure that thing is always accurate however.

    Welp pheasant hunting didn’t last long, put up two hens buddy got both, put up a cock bird I got him, then I stalked 10 birds and shot a cock bird on the ground.
  6. Hock3y24
    I’ll add, that buck hanging weight was over 190 on my cheap scale. Not in a crop area, plenty of oaks and green fields. 17.5 inside spread
  7. Hock3y24
    That’s a 2.5 imo with the photo.
  8. Hock3y24
    I already know his age, but let’s see how everyone does. My dads buck is obviously 1.5. Dates on the cam photos are accurate.
  9. Hock3y24
    You can’t tell age from that photo. They check the processors then hand out tickets to those who fail to report also.

    Going out pheasant hunting with my buddy and his dog soon.

    My dad has hunted his whole life, I showed 0 interest till I was 18 and a light switched.
  12. Hock3y24
    That’s why I shoot 95% of my deer with bow, so I can gun hunt and give my dad my best spots for gun when we go together.
  13. Hock3y24
    my gun buck before he got all broken up.
  14. Hock3y24
    with a 16" barrel (using the Grendel) your looking at around 2400 fps, the Creedmore is about 400-500 fps hotter with a regular length barrel. You can use the Grendel in a standard Ar-15 platform, the creedmore needs an ar-10 platform. Think of the Grendel as a 6.5 creedmore short.
  15. Hock3y24
    either no nuts or damaged nuts i bet.
  16. Hock3y24
    put it behind that shoulder and you’ll be good. Sure is nice to carry that light gun tho.
  17. Hock3y24
    6.5 Grendel is NOT a shoulder shooting round. Especially in a 16” barrel. I had two quarter size holes in both sides of chest cavity.

    I used a 123 grain hornaday black eld-m and had phenomenal results at 200 yards. I recovered my bullet after it smashed the opposite leg bone and got caught in the hide. What’s your barrel length? Mines 16”
  19. Hock3y24
    Next county over from me, first I’ve heard of it.
  20. Hock3y24
    What round did you use? My 6.5 Grendel flattened a 4.5 year old Buck. With the velocity out of the creedmore I’d use a bonded bullet though. I’ve seen deer flattened with hornaday precision hunter creedmore rounds.
  21. Hock3y24
    No I leave my 4 roasts, backstraps in 6 sections. Cut steaks, and then either stew, speidies or ground meat. You can always cut steaks out of roasts or backstraps when you pull them out and thaw. Neck meat is for the crock pot.
  22. Hock3y24
    All you need is a tree branch, sharp knife, table and vacuum sealer. I’ve done 9 deer between mine and my friends this year, they don’t take more than 1.5 hours from hanging to bagged. Grind the meat the next day but that optional as I can just make stew meat with it. And any weather under 40 you can keep them hanging. I do have a 4x4 across my garage rafters, with a boat rope winch attached to the wall and a pulley up top.
  23. Hock3y24
    Numbers up here, everyone I know has gotten at least a buck.
  24. Hock3y24
    Every processor is just like that one around here, I cut my neighbors buck up for him last night cause he couldn’t find one.
  25. Hock3y24
    Congrats to everyone who got one, great buck Grampy!
