Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Bullock county, Alabama success

Managed to fill the freezer on a trip to Alabama, this weekend. The new to me Remington 700 280 rem/Burris E-1 combo is my new favorite whitetail rifle, along with the 140 gr corelokts. Now these deer ain’t nothing to write home about but they’ll make plenty of feed for the family!

Quite the variance in shot selection

Good eating!

I learned to start making neck shots when I can.

Same result as a head shot, but without the mess...

Well I wanted to see what the 280 would do with the corelokts on different placements. Needless to say they all worked only one made it about 40 yards before it expired.

Looks like you put a hand grenade in the mouth of that last one.

Good work making meat

It was a bit gruesome

Congrats on filling your freezer. I've never been much on neck or head shots, the target area is way too small when compared to the shoulder/lung area. I managed to bag two doe and a buck this season.
