Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Things to buy on the horizon for deer season.

List em up if ya want.
needs and wants
Needs are show stoppers
Wants are nice to have.

Stuff ya been waiting on to get in stock or still waiting on with no viable subsistute per how you do things.

Me:

1 can pyrodex 777 FF back in stock yesterday at midsouth.
Finally....
My current can right now is over 2.5 yrs old.
Schit goes hygroscopic over time, akin to increase in size/fluff up less density up schit ( like popcorn in ways from seed to being popped) and when ya load it down the granules will crush into sand like texture almost like 3f or 4f and give ya fuuked up increased velocities and POI change.
= need for the Kodiak on monday.

Spray can of Rem Oil , part of 4 patch cleaning for hunting condition 1st shot barrel per the Kodiak ml consistency and accuracy.
= need on monday

Deer cart at Rural King
= a want, but not a show stopper.
Dragging sucks on FTCKY in places I hunt.
Getting older...
4 Wheelers only allowed on firebreaks to retrieve a kill and not out stump jumping in T Rex land to retrieve a kill.
Got mods in mind for it if I get it.

2 boxes of Barnes Vortex 55 gr. .223.
Thinking of using the AR for crap weather during rifle season.
Kill a man with a fmj bullet, can kill a deer with a Tsx bullet surely...
Many reviews per killing ability per WTD seem GTG.
Matches 3240 box velocity of M193 I got, just got to see POA and POI differences ( if any) make adjustment and log it to the noggin per a little range work
= need to get it done as schit weather contingency rifle.
Sometime next week purchase at midsouth.

Jug of detergent for hunting clothes.
= need in 2 or 3 weeks.
Wally world


Bout it for me.

Hope this ain't seen as a " inane thread"..

👍🏻🤣🤣👍🏻

We bought a game cart over a decade ago after I shot a big one waàay back in the woods.

IMO, it's much better than dragging, even if you have to go further to get around stuff.

I find the geographical norms interesting. Back east it seems to be common to try and get a deer out whole, with some people willing to drag a mile or more.

While in the west it's common to quarter the animal in the field and carry it out.

Interesting. No f ucking way I'm dragging, my mystery ranch or stone glacier is the deer cart.

I'm going to pickup a couple of extra freeze dried meals and other food items.

October has the potential if all the stars align to be epic. Two elk tags, a speedgoat tag, and a deer tag. Lots and lots of highway time in-between each. 19 days to get it done.

Need to get a new windshield...

In the heat of the moment... I shot from the DRIVER'S SIDE of my hood... dammit.

Until recently, we could not legally quarter the deer in the field, so, yes, field dress and drag was the norm of of necessity.

Last January I bought a CGS Hyperion K suppressor.

Hoping to get my hands on it soon.


Been thinking about ordering a Ruger Ranch to go with it, that or have my 243 Montana shortened and threaded.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This one at Rural King is like 65 bucks.
Got 15 inch hard plastic tires on it.

Mod in my head is find 20 inch pneumatic wide ground foot print bike tires.
Larger rotation arc to ground obstacles and folds in ground.
Not a show stopper per the tires but better ones would make it easier I'm thinking.
Extension of the push pull handle also would be nice I'm thinking too.
Simple bolt on fab at the house thing.

Go thru woods routes like dragging looking for path of least resistance.
Frigging firebreaks on ftcky straight track are covered in blow downs.
Forestry dose the least they can on em....
Especially when a Liberal Socialist Democrat is in office.
Repeating trend since Billy Boy I have observed.

People with Atv,s find out that pleasant surprise all the time.
Nice and maintained firebreaks for years.
Then total neglect for years.
They don't make the connection per who is in the white house and DOD funding.

That is the dumbest thing I've read today. Glad someone came to their senses.

Whole carcass here too in Tennessee and FTCKY.

Push comes to shove this year on FTCKY.
I'm sawing whatever in half at the ab and rib cage area and relay drag if I don't get a cart.
Last year's drag out of 44A with that big 8.
3.5 to 4 hrs of thru about 1300 1500 meters of T rex terrian

Little too much..
Only thing I had going for me was about 1st 6 or 700 was downhill and sleet and dusting of snow on ground.
The flat in the creek bed to the truck smoked my azz.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yea, it really made hunting public land in the big northern woods suck after the shot.

I don't know that it'll change much anytime soon though since the "field dress and drag" thing has been engrained over many generations.

I've used 2 wheeled deer carts, a wheelbarrow, and something like this. This garden cart was like a Walk in the park compared to the deer cart. If you bolt the deer cart solidly, it will be a lot better than leaving it as it comes, slopping around with all the cotter pins. Good luck with your purchases. I don't mind spending a lot on awesome stuff but I hate spending a nickel on junk

Anyone use a Jet Sled to get their deer out of the woods?

I need nothing.

Back when yall was taking bitches out to eat and going to Riverdance….slumlord was going over checklists and filling his supply cabinets and Tuffbins

We have a few of the Cabela's deluxe carts with bigger wheels than the current one.

game cart

Big wheels obviously make rolling over looks etc much easier. We keep a few straps on it so the Dr doesn't shift.

Could use another buddy stand 10 at my enough

I use a kids sled muzzle loading when I go for a bonus doe.

Snow helps. It sucks more pulling over logs and other crap compared to 24"+ wheels, but it's slicker than snot on snow.

Riverdance????
🤦‍♂️🥴🤣🤣🤣🥴🤦‍♂️










Ummm???
Why do you think I'm getting 2 boxes of dat vortex .223 ?
Think Jimmy Neutron..
Think...
🥴🤣🥴

Per Convo other day and bolt rifle you might use this season.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Where I hunt we usually just shootem from the truck close to the road. And with all the extra hands riding around drinking beer, any effort dragging one is pretty much a nonissue.

I bought a bunch of ammo for my son to shoot and a crossbow scope. Other than that, it was just inventory, organize and train.

Got the scuba club award for my "wettest" run in competition last weekend and a G trigger. "If it ain't raining it ain't training" is a thing. 😁



Put the trigger in my lightweight AR to compare to my LaRue MBTs.

Did the same with the cart I got to haul deer across country. Put on the larger diameter air filled bike tires/wheels and put on a longer pull handle. Used an old d-ring handle from an old scoop shovel.
