I am a long way from an old timer but I guess I would consider myself old school. The one item I have bought that I really like is my life straw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jesus don't judge me by what falls out the doors or the back of my truck in a parking lot. Between the garbage and whatever fluids are leaking I'm liable to end up with an arms length of tickets and that's before dec shows up to the crime scene. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would say thermocoupler as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not really related but my great uncle lives next door to me and was in his yard today when I was out doing chores. He walked over and we talked for half an hr I had to come inside and grab some beers for us. He told me that Friday was his and my great aunts 60th anniversary, I asked him if he was going to take her out to a nice dinner he looked me in the eyes and said " what are you f***ing retarded? I'm bring her where ever she tells me to, I have been married for 60 years" I just smiled and said have fun and went back to hunting conversations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a fact my adk buck from last year I would have put my savings account on it breaking 200 after dragging for a couple miles. Ended up only being a little over 170 after hanging for 3 days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bowtech experience, only difference is it now has a whisker biscuit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm with you in this one, he's pulling numbers out of his rear and stating them as facts. Don't bother trying to reason with him Shawn he's way too intelligent! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We weigh every buck we shoot, at my house in NZ the average 3 1/2, 4 1/2 yr old bucks weigh 165-190. I haven't shot a buck that weighed under 165 in a bunch of years and only 1 weighed over 200 and that was shot on the last day of NZ rifle and was only a 5pt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry for the loss, the good ones always go too soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I start my vacation the 27th and will spend every day that babysitters/wife allows at my camp in the Adirondacks. So I'll likely be hunting all day. When I'm home I'll hunt woods in the mornings and fields in the evenings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know that stopping power doesn't exist. It's not a real thing. I'm done arguing with you, you are way to intelligent and knowledgeable for me to try to sway your opinion. I will end with this I have killed a whole bunch of deer with shotguns "I was stationed down south in states that give tags by the arm length and allow baiting. Shotguns kill deer dead but can't compare in lights out "killing power" to any center fire cartridge over 2500fps over .25" diameter. I was an infantry marine for 8years with 4 combat deployments as well as 3 years as a primary marksmanship instructor. I have literally shot truck loads of .556 ammo. I have witnessed first hand the "killing power" of the 223 on critters. The deer and hogs I have shot with the 223 all died pretty quickly. Like I said in a earlier post I was never overly impressed with the terminal performance but my ar that I was using then has a 14 1/2" barrel and is leaving a few hundred fps in velocity on the table. I'm sure a normal 20-22" barrel would have been a better more efficient killer. Instant incapacitation is only achievable one way and that's by the central nervous system of a target being disrupted by direct hit or shock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well Doctor moron If the impact is low of the spine it most likely struck rib. If rib is hit high enough the shock of the impact will go into the spinal cord and disrupt central nervous system. With your experience I can't believe you are having such a hard time understanding this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't have to do a "forensic exam" when a deer is running and is shot and all body movement stops "i.e. The death slide" that shows that the central nervous system was disrupted and has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the wound. Notice when he is walking up to it and it starts picking it's head up? It wasn't like the deer died instantly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You truly are an extremely ignorant individual! That deer died due to central nervous system being interrupted by what looked like a high shoulder or spinal impact. You could have hit that deer in that same spot with any center fire cartridge with a bullet that will hold together on impact and the outcome would be identical. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By my quick count I think the 870 is in the lead for most popular. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love debating about guns and cartridges more than most but the beloved 223 for deer is horse that's been dead awhile and beaten to a pulp! 223 for deer, yes it will work and works now better than ever with ammunition technology. Is there better? Absolutely, I would say that a 223 is a better choice than a few very popular deer cartridges. It's a cartridge that wouldn't make my top 20 deer cartridges. If a new hunter asked me what chambering their first deer rifle would be a 223 wouldn't be on my long list. If it was the only gun a hunter had there is no disputing that it will work as long as the limitations are understood. Me personally I'll stick to .35 diameter and bigger.

I understand you have to do what you have to do with your limitations but bringing a stand in and hunting it the next day is not ideal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
