I was wrong I just did a little research and it sounds like ammo is getting hard to find with Remington only making it seasonal. Keep the brass and buy it all when you find it. Unless I'm mistaking you can make 30-40 krag brass from 303 brass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 26 nosler shoots about 100ft/s faster and flatter than the 257 throughout the bullet weights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet old iron. I don't know much about that rifle but I do know the old 30-40 is an excellent cartridge. I know some ammo company's are making modern loads for them with quality bullets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pyg hit the nail on the head! Nockdown power doesn't exist it's not a real thing. A hit to CNS direct or via hydrostatic shock is the only way to instantly turn the lights out. If a direct strike a 22lr will have the same results as what ever wizbang magnum you can think of. Yes a 257 wby mag is fast and flat. Does it kill better than any other popular deer cartridge? Not well enough to make it worth spending 3$ a shot on ammo that's hard to find. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have never owned a browning bolt rifle, closest I came is a browning abolt 12ga that I have never really liked. I think Browning makes great guns I see they have even smartened up and are making a carbine with a 20" barrel "although still to long" but it doesn't come in a leftie. As far as Remington there quality has fell drastically from what I have saw. If you decide to buy a Remington I would look used for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's the nice thing about the corn being mine, we will chop it when I'm ready, or most likely pick it around December 15. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a point when your setting up a ladder stand where you are playing odds. This is the exact reason why I will not set up a ladder stand alone. Having someone at the bottom holding the stand to the tree is very important. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Homework homework homework, if your going to do it from a stand spend every minute you have studying this buck. You absolute best chance to kill him is the first time you hunt him. I will warn you having done this once before I had a beautiful 8 on my property10-11 years ago before I had trail cams I scouted from the top of that field and watched him 6 or 7 nights a weeks for a month and a half. I shot him sept 27 at around 6 o'clock in the evening. Although he was the biggest deer I had shot at the time it sucked killing him. That was the day I realized I love hunting way more Than the killing. There was no challenge in killing that buck. It was like playing a football game against a team that you have the playbook on.

I love shooting lighted nocks but have found them to be very inconsistent in manufacturing. If I buy a 3 pack I'm lucky to get 2 that shoot the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If a deer is close enough to smell your feet they already smell your breath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the amount of hot air you have blown on this topic you should have lied and said why yes I only use steel shot for small game. The 2 or 3 people on this forum that you had on the edge even considering your BS just concluded that you are full of BS. Let this one die bud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the stand that's about 50yds out my back door it's on the edge of our sanctuary and has corn to the right and oaks that are loaded with nuts to the left. In front of my is a 25acre swamp and a hardwood hill that's another 18-20acres neither of these get hunted at all until the last weekend of season. This stand has been hunted 3 times in the last 5 years and 2 does and an 8 were killed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only way to make a recurve faster is to make the draw heavier and NY's law prevents that. Therefor they are stuck where they are I.E. obsolete. I have owned an excals for 10 years I know a thing or 2 about them. I'm not giving up 80-100fps just to shoot a recurve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need to open up a dictionary and read the definition for obsolete "if you can read." Never once did I say they won't kill a deer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This has nothing to do with my statement. Once again all the draw limit does is make recurves obsolete in NY. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're showing your ignorance again! There isn't a compound crossbow made with a 200lb draw. The only thing that law does in make recurve Xbows obsolete in NY. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The difference is that a 400fps Xbow has more energy at 50 yds than that 45lb recurve does at 1yd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To have a 100lb vertical compound with a 30" draw shoot you would be in the range of a 600gn arrow the speeds stay pretty consistent to a 70lb draw you are still not much over 320fps. Even then the energy drops quickly do to the added weight of the arrow. The moral of the story is you are talking out your a$$ and have no clue what you are talking about.

It was a blast but the ending sucked,some lessons are learned the hard way. I can guarantee I won't let it happen again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My senior year in high school 3 of my buddies and I decided to do this same thing over thanksgiving break. Everything went awesome we even saw a buck but Sunday morning on our way out about 2 miles of our stream that was a beaver flow was frozen with too much ice to break and not enough to stand on. It was absolute hell dragging 2 canoes and a ton of crap through the woods around the beaver dam to get back to the running water. Not trying to scare you just something to think about. Had we not all been teenage boys that were all athletes and in good shape I don't know if we would have been able to do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like a kabar with a little bit shorter blade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Until NY changes the draw weight law a recite in NY makes no sense to me. I will not shoot a crossbow that is slower than my vertical bow. 200lb draw limit takes recurves out of the game. My compound shoots over 80fps faster than the fastest legal recurve and WAY quieter. 80fps is a 20% gain in velocity if I could have vertical bow that could gain 20% in velocity if I had to change the strings and cables every month I would own one.
