Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

tzone got one hand shoved clear inside his mouth, making muffled screaming monkey noises, spit & drool running off his elbow, he's got the wrist flop going on with the other hand, flopping himself in the chest. Eyes are glazed over, he's got his helmet on....

he has a cork gun under his arm. blaze orange safety restraints have him buckled to his desk chair...

looks like he�s almost ready to go hunting�

Hey...You BISHES knock it off.

don't forget the duck tape, never know when a guy has to be handy...is everybody going to be around at camp friday night dave? i was shooting the new gun the other day and hitting the target at 580yds so lestifer figured i had no excuses this year at all. but you ask him who got the deer last year and who missed. i tagged out!! We were discussing last night which nights we need to go camp hopping to visit everyone. hopefully we got a load from up north heading south....

Where you gettin ammo for that Buschy? I found one for 5 bills last night, but ammo was $130 bucks a box. You're shootin that .257 right?

WOWSERS!! glad i didnt go with that one. i ended up with just a .270. still looking for ammo for my 7mm, i wanted 145 gr but very hard to find this year. lots of 175 and such but nothing light. my only choices with the truck this year were the .270 and the 30.06.

hey buschy, check over to cenex, they just put out there deer huning ammo from the old stash in storage & the prices still represent a time of sanity.

they may have an old box of 270 sitting there for 16 bucks or so

Jeesh. that's not bad. going for about 2x that here.

yeah, 28-ish is the norm for non premium around here in common long actions like 30-06 or 270.

i think i just may run up there shortly then..thats the place with the corner on convience correct? i even oreded a new hat for this season but it wont' be here till tuesday, really bummed about that.

you ordered a hat...just go into a bar and buy one like any other self respecting deer hunter would do.

yep, that be the place.

i was going to grab a box or 2 of 30-06, i think they had 165 gr feds which I've used a lot in the past. makes a hole in a deer just fine.

didn't see a price on em, i might go check tonight too.

Shoot man....I got new box of core lock 165's if ya want. Don't remember what I paid for em, but we could figgure somthin' out. my 7600 likes 150's.

Don't go buyin' any if you don't have them.

oh really?

if you aint gonna use em bring em along i'll buy em from ya. I like the 165's & core locks do just fine.

oh this is a special hat, can't just get one like this at the bar. i hardly frequent them establishements unless its on my way somewheres, which all roads lead home so i usally do find plenty. i looked at cabelas on friday and they were running short of ammo there too.

we'll have to see that hat. I'll be wearing the spike buck cap at camp.

I'll bring 'em. Full box. My old one liked them. my new one liked 150's enough that I never tried them.

I like that hat...

Best prices on ammo around here are Scheels than Fleet Farm. Scheels was selling 30-06, 165gr Federal Fusions for $19.95, Fleet was $21.95. Fleets ammo supplies are really picked over though.

you guys musta forgot I reload, if I had more notice I coulda loaded for the 7mm, 30-06 and 270
i can still do the 30-06 180 grainers and 7mm, I think I have 154 grain SST's for it.

I can still make up a couple boxes if anyone wants any

no it's cool man.

why didn't i think to bring down my brass, primers & bullets for my 264 (& dies)?
