Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles opinion of 7mm-08 rem. vs 308

They aren't active out there this morning; dunno why. The peacocks are going nuts. They eat good too. But I was turkey hunting.

These are 'hood gobblers- in my rural area in other words. I have permission to hunt two of the neighboring properties. They don't come on mine because my dog is trained to run them off, see "peacocks", below. Yesterday, I called in a hen to about 15 feet, but Gobbler #1 hung up one property too far away, gobbling his fool head off and strutting and saying "Come to Butthead!". Me being one hard to get hen, I didn't come <g>.

Gobbler #2 was 40 yards away but just on the wrong side of a field fence. I would have shot him anyway, but there were houses about 200 yards in the background... I grew up in the land of rocks, anytime you pulled the trigger a richochet would go whining off into the distance, so even though this was with a shotgun and on grass, I just couldn't pull the trigger.

Off to go shoot long range and cut wood, while TryMe types... grin...
