You ever tried to track a turkey? If I don't hit CNS I would rather only have superficial wounds for the best chance of survival. I'm sure a BH to the lungs is deadly but the odds of finding a mortally wounded turkey are very small. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Killing a critter with a broadhead and killing a turkey with a shot are completely different. Pellets in the chest isn't what's killing the turkey a pellet in the brain/neck is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup get them bouncing and it really becomes tough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're giving me an idea, I have a black 870 that is in desperate need of a face lift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know running shots can be a hot topic on here but my my buddy sent me this link and it's pretty cool to see others doing it as well. I like to use a steeper hill so the tire will bounce but you can get the point. Running shots are never easy but with practice you can become pretty proficient at them. I don't Facebook so I had to have my wife load it but hopefully the video will work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in the same boat! For me a 2 3/4 high brass 6shot lead load has killed every turkey I have hit with them. Most of my shots are under 10yds and I don't want a slug size pattern. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What you're complaining about if what I look for. I hate eating pellets and the closer to the skin the easier they are to pick out. It's a lot easier to penetrate a brain than it is going through feathers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We had a boss tom around here 1 spring that wasn't afraid of anything not that friendly but just super ballsy I got the grand idea that on opening day I was going to kill him bare handed. Take my advice and just shoot him, some stitches and a torn rotator cuff later I killed him with a shotgun the next day. He's the one I have mounted with a double beard.

Velocity has nothing to do with "pin hole in pin hole out before a bullet has time to expand and disperse energy" bullet selection does. If you're using 30-378wby mag at 3500fps or a 30-30 at 2300fps the bullet has to expand rapidly and retain enough weight/ energy to continue on through the animal and hopefully into the dirt behind it. Energy transfer is what tears tissue and I can promise you that a fast bullet tears/damages a lot more tissue than a big slow one. I have yet to see any of my big bores 45/70, 454casull, 500s&w 45colt "hot loads" leave a hole even close to the size a 270. In a perfect world you want velocity and bullet diameter. The bigger the bullet starts the bigger it will get if pushed fast enough and the heavier a bullet starts the more weight it can loose and still carry enough energy to get through the animal.

Sounds like it's time to pull the plug, sounds like headache after headache and $$ over $$. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1 tick in all my miles in Hamilton county. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like it, we will see if I like it so much at the end of the year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The thing about dragging is the size of the deer makes all the difference. I would rather drag a 150lb deer 10 miles up hill that the 230lb buck I shot last year 1 mile. Long drags suck but they make the beer at camp taste that much better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All these patterns are way to tight for me! I would miss em every time! I have missed enough birds with my improved modified and 3" #6's. I couldn't imagine what that pattern TF just showed looks like at 10yds? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a tough one for sure, I'm saying 2 1/2 but a dandy 2 year old. I would say he would dress mid 140's. The problem is his head says 2 1/2 and his body leans towards 3. I would pass as well as my gut is saying 2 1/2. Do you know the date the pics were taken? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea not impressed, I have loaded the Barnes to about 2000fps and they have the most weight retention of all the bullets I've tried. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my beach sand in a bucket the biggest piece of the bullet I could find was about 20gn's at 50 yards far from ideal for anything but coyotes. That's with my 454 carbine and that's slower than the 460's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It sucks! It doesn't affect what you can plant or cut but you can't built anything other than a poled structure "no foundation" and it drastically reduces land value. I am zoned agriculture so I can put up fences but I'm not sure if that's because of zoning. My suggestion is to stay the hell away from it. 20yrs ago when this crap first came out it was the wet lands now it's the wetlands and 100ft. Of our 250acre main farm we have about 25% as wetlands and it makes it basically worthless to everyone other than to the tax assessor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

45-70, 450marlin both shoot .458 dia. Bullets, bullet selections are endless. That's a sweet gun, what length is the barrel? How's it shoot, recoil? You have my mind spinning because that would be legal In Ohio. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They have been reaming handi barrels for years into 460. I have considered it for a while as well, cva was going to chamber their scout in them but couldn't get adequate accuracy. I haven't found a bullet yet that will hold together in my 454casull handi and they're a couple hundred ft slower than the 460, even the Barnes are loosing their petals in my beach sand bucket.

Funny-super troopers and hangover are my top picks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 500 in a H&R handi and it's a cannon. I haven't heard anything good about the 460 in a rifle due to lack of .451 bullets holding together at 23-2500 fps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And he shoots a 70lb longbow. Jesus I get tired shooting my 40lber. He's pretty much the man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now we are talking! Likely I wouldn't kill a deer in a bunch of years but it would sure be fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
