  1. Ok so now I have some slugs to research. That being said has anybody shot the plain old slugs through a fully rifled barrel like these?

    My guess is, you no longer have a rifled barrel. B)

  2. Yes , yes I did. Funny thing had the front stuffer leaning against the tree and was so pissed off I wasnt paying attention where the shavings were going. They were going right down my barrell. What a dumbarse. Had to take the loader apart and clean it which pissed me off even more. For farts sake I hate this guy.

    Even better!! :lol:

  3. So where is the baby who started this post anyway. He complains about the bitchin' and then spends 8 paragraphs to do his own.. Go find yourself a forum where they agree with everything you say and where every internet big buck is greeted with a "way to go buddy, you are a great hunter." Oh and by the way, did you get that buck of yours officially green scored or are you still using that same number you came up with using your Stanley 1 inch framers tape measure?

    :lol:

  4. Simple...gather a large 55 gallon drum,get newspaper, wood, old motor oil,and a old tire. Put the items in drum, light and let burn for 10 minutes. Gather ammo into large container, walk to drum, throw in ammo, and run like hell. After a few minutes you will hear banging and ricocheting. Don't worry...its all part of the process.

    However do not be cheap and try junking the brass by putting the bullets in a vice and hitting the primers with a nail.

    WTF?! :fie:

  5. I didn't see one negative comment in his thread about his buck. That was a hell of buck, and he should have just left it at that.

    However, forums are forums. Just like in real life, you get people who won't always agree with EVERYTHING you have to say. He needs to get over it and move on.

  6. Mossy725,

    I agree with your opinions, ethics and reasoning 150%.

    But... Why an eMail?

    Like breaking up with a GF thru a text message. lol

    Have we lost the ability to communicate in person in this electronic age?

    Is he really that stubborn and unapproachable?

    Read the entire OP. I tried talking to him, he wouldn't listen. I put it down in words, and he called me last night and apologized and said he was very appreciative of me pointing these things out.

    Everyone is different. Not everyone can talk about things, or listen to things in this case. By writing it down, he was able to read it, a few times, digest it and realize he screwed up, big time.

    Why judge? Why question what other people do? Does it make you feel better? :fie:

  7. that thing is huge

    it looks photo shopped tho, take a look at the left side of the rack which is on the right side photo. the drop tine and parts of the rack havea black line around it and the base seems like it has a funky angle? looks shopped just my opinion

    Good eye. It almost looks as if it's super imposed over the deer head itself.

    Definitely looks photo shopped. Just look at how the rack seems almost 3D from the rest of picture, especially against the guys camo.

  8. ...but there comes a point when you have to. I tried talking to my buddy about this, and he wouldn't listen. I proceeded to send him this email (see below). I just don't get ignorance....

    Hey man - this is not a lecture, by any means - but I do hope you listen.

    I sat on this for a couple days, and let myself calm down a bit. As a hunter, and your friend, I was extremely disappointed in the choices you made hunting on Saturday morning. When I got close to your tree stand, I had a hard time finding you, because you had no orange on. When people shoot at a deer, they are suppose to identify their background. Had someone shot at a deer from down below you, or up above you, they never would have seen you in a tree, including myself! Just look at the school bus accident that happened here in Randolph.

    Then, you proceeded to lower your gun, loaded. Not only did it put yourself in danger, but it put me in danger too. Had the rope broken, the gun accidentally gone off, or ANYTHING else, that gun could have discharged, hitting you or me.

    I value my life, and my friend's lives, and take every precaution necessary to ensure my own safety and theirs. I don't want to be another statistic, and either walk up and find you dead, or the chance of me being killed by someone else's poor decisions. I tried calmly talking to you about it below your tree, and you quickly dismissed me. This is why I walked away from your tree, and am now sending you an email.

    I don't care what "god's plan is," as you mentioned to me earlier in the weekend, when I was trying to be safe and make sure nobody got hurt or shot, walking around your land. There's no room for ignorance and complacency with hunting. Just take a look around you, and read the news. Another hunter was killed last night in Stockton.

    I enjoy hunting with you, but if you're going to continue making these decisions, then unfortunately I can't hunt with you anymore.

  9. Amazing photos... I also have to assume that buck was already hurt or ill, something was wrong with it and those yotes took advantage. Still wasn't easy for the yotes, took hours to get the buck down.

    That buck is clearly dead. It doesn't move for hours and the yotes ate the back half of him out and the buzzards were picking at him the next morning. Also, the guy was holding the skull of the deer at the end!

    EDIT: Here is an individual pic, I am pretty sure that's a dead deer. http://www.deerandde...ll-buck/455.jpg

    The slideshow I watched never got to that.
