I have been a 10mm fan for a log time and have 4 of them however I see no use in a 10mm revolver. As hard as it tries a 10mm isn’t even close to a 41mag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New Gun Laws In The Works

The problem with your scenario is that there isn’t a perfect gun or cartridge. A lightweight revolver in 41mag or 44mag with a quality hollow point bullet would be ideal for ending a wounded bears day. However the scenario could change quickly and the gun you choose could very easily become a personal defense weapon if said wounded bear decides he’s still got some fight in him. Here is where a semi would be ideal. When stressed accuracy falls and the more holes you can get into a critter the better of you’ll be. This is where a light revolver sucks and a semi shines.

My coyote gun is a lightweight. Polymer lower, carbon handguard, carbon fixed stock, carbon pistol grip pencil 16” barrel no muzzle device. With a leupold 2-7x28 it’s 6lb 13oz with 5 rounds in the clip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

41 rem mag, less recoil than a 44mag and on it heels performance wise, more energy and larger hole than a 357mag. My votes still a Glock 29. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you’re not carrying a long gun the sidearm becomes the main gun and that changes my answer, kinda. A light short carbine chambered for a real cartridge still has my vote. Every tracker that tracks with dogs that I know carry’s a 22lr or 22mag revolver. My wife would got to a single action revolver in 22mag for dispatching wounded critters.

I have a 10mm Glock 29 and consider it to be just about the perfect solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. I carried it for years with other handguns but really if I needed to put down a deer I’m using my rifle not the pistol. The sidearm I carry the most is an sr22 Ruger. Weighs nothing accurate as hell and would do a perfect job dispatching a downed buck that I don’t want to try and slit its throat. I bought a scandium framed 329 S&W and it was great to carry but not fun to shoot. In my opinion carrying a sidearm for the purpose of dispatching wounded game isn’t worth it. If you want it for protection Incase you get separated from your rifle I would suggest a small 9mm semi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

.223 for deer how far would you shoot a deer with one ?
Buckmaster7600 replied to Hunter007's topic in Deer Hunting
The second someone thinks about lead they’ve already missed their target. With a gun I’ve shot probably 20% of my deer moving with a bunch of those running and I have never lead one in my life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

As a recently divorced man that was with the same woman for nearly 15 years and has just recently started dabbling in the market. I will say your friend was a very wise man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
This is a fella I could be friends with. It takes a certain kind of person to try and hunt spring gobblers with a bow without a blind. It took me years to finally kill a gobbler with a bow with no blind. This fella uses calls and decoys something I don’t enjoy doing but still very impressive. http://www.wideopenspaces.com/archery-grand-slam-turkey-hunting-with-no-blind-is-a-sight-to-behold/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only gun I own that noticeably loud is a tikka t3 300wsm that I had rebored to a 35-300wsm wildcat. That friggin thing is loud with its 18” barrel! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Women, I tend to be able to find some kind of an attribute in most of them and have never been known to be very picky. But give me a pretty one that’s fishing and the drool will start to flow! Small town gun and tackle shops. I love walking into a new gun shop for the first time. 3 wheelers, I learned to ride them and still would rather ride them than anything else.

I’ve killed them out to about 180yds with a .223. In my experience I wouldn’t shoot one at 0yds. I have killed truck loads of deer with a .223 when I was stationed down south and it was my only rifle but I was never happy with the performance and I tried a bunch of different bullets. If I didn’t hit cns and have them drop right there they were always hard to find with a small blood trail. If you hit cns with enough energy to disrupt it you can kill them with a B.B. gun but no ones perfect so you have to plan for that and that’s why I feel the .223 isn’t adequate. All my experience with a 223 is with a lot smaller deer in eastern NC, eastern SC AND NE Georgia. I don’t know if I killed a single deer that went over 125lbs live weight with the 223. That’s a sizable amount smaller than a NY deer especially if your talking about the Adirondacks. If short and light is what you want it’s hard to beat a kimber for the money, don’t waster the money on the Adirondack with the shorter factory barrel buy what ever one you want then take it to a competent gun smith and have the barrel sacked of to 16-18”. You can do this yourself with minimum tools I have done a bunch of them and it really not hard at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I always have a couple extra scopes without guns in the cabinet. Nothing worse than finding a deal at a gun shop or show and not being able to shoot it as soon as you get home because you don’t have a scope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the wood-burners, how's the season going?
Buckmaster7600 replied to philoshop's topic in General Chit Chat
About usual 5 cord between me and mom. I’m alway 2 yrs ahead and and will be in good shape going into spring to start splitting again. I split 95% of our wood by hand just because it’s way faster than using a splitter. I start my splitter about once every 3 yrs or when I get a big oil of gnarly stuff that I won’t do with a splitting axe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Here’s mine, shoots like great. Recoil isn’t as bad as I expected. Stock is junk and trigger is awful. Not bad for a sub 500$ rifle. Mines not going anywhere but not sure if I’ll ever hunt with it other than Ohio. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t have to be thankful for anything, if one of those wackjobs were in charge I would bail. Sell my house for way more than I have in it. I can have my same job in 49 other states by the end of the month. The only thing keeping me here is I live where I live. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
