Woke up with the worst stomach ache I can ever remember having. Oh well no better place to suffer than in the woods. Windy and wet perfect day to still hunt! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s my every day carry knife. I don’t carry it in the woods hunting because I always lose knives in the woods. It’s been my everyday carry knife for a few years now and I’ve really grown to like it. It’s the perfect size! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same thing I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used electrical tape, 1 strip over barrel and a wrap around barrel holding both ends down. I’ve used rubber glove finger with a wrap of tape around it for years now and it stays on way better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup, been there. Mine was a finishing shot on a doe I hit in the spine and don’t realize. I shot her in an overgrown field walked up to her and the started getting up so I shot at what I would see. Hit her in the nose and the rest was very gruesome. Live and learn that’s for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree, that’s a shot I will never take! Zero margin for error and absolutely disgusting if successful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A proper rifle bullet going end for end of a deer is about as high percentage as you can get. My reason for waiting has nothing to do with percentages, like I said before “less messy.” My point of jumping into this argument had nothing to do with what we want to teach our kids. It was to Jeremy’s point on it being “ethical.” I will stick to my guns and still say that when done with a proper bullet an ass shot is a 100% ethical shot. A bullet going end for end of a deer no matter what it’s entry point is 100% lethal and usually in a very short time. Stupid argument to begin with you’re going to take shots you want to and are comfortable with as will I and neither of us are going to change each others minds. If that shot makes me an unethical hunter than so be it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You just perfectly explained why I am for the middle. If you’re aiming for the middle angles don’t matter. And if you’re off by a few inches your still going through a lot of deer, the more deer that bullet goes through the better the chances of the bullet hitting something vital or knocking it down for a coup de grace.

If I’m shooting 200yds at a deer than most likely I’m in a tree stand over a field or big cut and there’s no reason to take a facing shot because I have time to wait for him to turn. If he’s facing me he’s either going to walk closer than 200yds or turn and head a different direction. Situation dictates. If I’m sitting I’m never going to take a frontal or ass shot because there’s no need you’ll have time for a less messy shot. If I’ve tracked a buck all day and he gets out of his bed in front of me at 50-100yds away and is heading opposite direction you bet your ass “or his” I’m shooting.

Will you take hard quartering to or facing shots? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Comparing those two things is asinine, I have and would again today shoot deer in the ass. There’s way more to deer hunting that what you see on the sportsman’s channel. You hunt how you want and I’ll hunt how I want. You take shots you’re comfortable with and I’ll do the same. “Ethics” will be the demise of deer hunting as any of us know it. Everything done that someone else doesn’t agree with is thrown on the ethics plate. Won’t be long and there will be no more hunting because it won’t be ethical. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A size up. Pull the insert out put them on then put the boots on. Plenty of room in them, when you try to get your feet in with the insert in the boot it balls up at the toe and makes them feel tight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a crazy weather day, the winds blown every direction but up, it rained hard, white out snow, speared for a while then the sun came out now it’s a steady snow rain mix. Oh well already wet might as well stay until dark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s my kind of people! I’m surprised no ones complaining that he didn’t wait for the perfect shoulder shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a good deal, I payed more than this for these boots 3 yrs ago. https://www.backcountry.com/baffin-impact-snow-boot-mens?CMP_SKU=BAF0014&MER=0406&skid=BAF0014-SWCM-S8&mr:trackingCode=4C2D74E4-6A5B-E511-80F1-005056944E17&mr:referralID=NA&mr:device=m&mr:adType=plaonline&iv_=__iv_p_1_g_38088960187_c_153152454634_w_pla-313615163987_n_g_d_m_v__l__t__r_1o6_x_pla_y_7811_f_online_o_BAF0014-SWCM-S8_z_US_i_en_j_313615163987_s__e__h_9004957_ii__vi__&CMP_ID=PLA_GMm001&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PLA&k_clickid=_k_CjwKCAiA58fvBRAzEiwAQW-hzQjMUZ-CAwcnUpf4MxAWMjOzTJvEdZvEj2BBXnPRi11uE4lU3upxjBoCGtAQAvD_BwE_k_&gclid=CjwKCAiA58fvBRAzEiwAQW-hzQjMUZ-CAwcnUpf4MxAWMjOzTJvEdZvEj2BBXnPRi11uE4lU3upxjBoCGtAQAvD_BwE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Working up a load for a rifle is a hobby, making a couple boxes of perfect hunting ammo is a hobby. Sitting at a bench pulling a lever down and pushing it back up and filling a tube with brass and/or bullets once in a while and making 400 of the same round is the most boring mind numbing “hobby” on planet earth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not if my time is worth anything. If you don’t have a life or consider reloading a hobby then yes. I have a Dillon 550 and can load 400rds in an hour last time I loaded 40 plinking ammo it cost me .08$ a round..08X400=32$ for 8$ an hour I’m not getting out of bed let alone “working.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Walmart is getting rid of all of their handgun ammo. All practice aluminum and brass 9,40 and 45 are on sale for 5$ or7$ a box of 50. Just spent 900$ between 3 Walmart’s. I don’t know if I’ve ever bought 40 for 10 cents a round. I k or I can’t reload it for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It will work fine until it doesn’t and I’ve played around with them side by side and you get much less consistency with the factory breech plug when shooting through a crono. If I remember correctly it was over 300fps difference over a 5 shot test. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jesus jay you’re talking in circles, I just did that geometry equation you gave me and it ain’t the shoulder but you said you shoot em in the shoulder. Other than a few of us here we’ve all killed our share of deer with guns. I’ve never kept track but I’ve shot a lot of deer with a rifle and I’ve hit them from every angle and in about every spot imaginable and I’ve recovered all but 1. Not one of those deer have I ever thought of fractions or anything else just aim center mass or “the middle” and the deer will die. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some of you guys put way more thought into shooting deer than I do. I aim for the middle, don’t worry about angle or any of that. Just aim for the middle of the biggest part and keep shooting until I can’t see them or they die. He’ll die and I’ll trim a little bloody meat off not the end of the world. If I’m shooting a rifle at a deer these days it’s my ADK buck and he’s gonna be sausage anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every bullet is devastating on shoulders, my point is he will get an exit hole with an SST. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The funny thing is you use SST’s and they are well know for being a very had bullet with limited expansion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The problem is when they don’t drop in sight. Guns do kill with trauma but if the deer gets out of sight and the “trauma” causes internal bleeding and it only has a .25-.30 inch entry hole to bleed from even if the deer doesn’t make it 100yds it can be very had to find. Especially if the lungs aren’t hit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
