Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters I'd like to discuss the Barnes TSX.

120TSX out of my 708 TI.

well, you get the point. i can dig the TSX and X quite a bit...

Jeff, that was totally uncalled for.

Fortunately Paul won't cry about it forever and post it whenever he gets a chance.

Jeff is forever the victim and forever a POS.

I know you folks don't care for Jeff O, but I hope he wouldn't have done that under the circumstances. We can push each other around but I hope this was just bad timing.

Paul, my condolences, i must have missed that your Dad passed away. Can't replace em and its a bitch of a ride without em but life goes on and I know you know that and will handle it.

Jeff

[bleep]? That's nasty. Believe it or not all game outside of OR does not stand broadside while you range it, set up your bi pod, get out your wind meter and communicate with NASA on the impact of the earth's rotation.

I have shot a fair number of animals, especially Eastern Whitetails jumped from deadfalls right up their asses. Messy gutting job but a 12 bore deerslug will do the job and dead is dead. I prefer meat to pork & beans.

Show me any hunter who claims to have passed up a shot on a 6X6 Elk going dead away that he passed up for "ethical reasons" (on the assumption that he had a real rifle with bullets able to end to end an Elk) and I'll show you a BSer.

This is a real rifle (9.3x62) and these are real bullets (225 35 cal TSXs, all one shot kills) and no, they were not shot from the 9.3, but a 250 .366 TSX will perform as well or better.

Now that is a cool pic! And sorry to hear of the passing of your Father.

(and that gemsbok is a stud!!)

Thanks, he loved hunting down in TX.

He was a good bull, i was impressed by how tough they are. ran 30 yards with both shoulders turned to splinters.

Sorry about your Dad Paul, it's posts like this that remind me to enjoy every single hunt I get to spend with my Dad.

Enjoy them Brad as b4 you know it you won't have it any more. My Father is still around and we chat a lot about hunting and fishing but he just can't get out and get it done anymore.

I would gladly give up hunting and fishing the rest of my life if I could have just one more day on a lake with him or one more day in the field with him.

Here's to Dads!

Another one from here Paul...

Sorry to hear about your dad...

BTDT...30 years ago this week...


I wish I could tell you it gets easier...but I cannot..

Yes sir, it's like getting around with a bum knee. You never completely get over it but you do learn how to live with it and you never really know when it's going to sneak up on you again.

holy chit..

I guess what's next is for Jeff to make this all about him... Again.

Sorry to hear it Paul.

I'm dreading the day...

Looks like you and your father had some great days in the field and that's what it's really all about.

Thats about all I could think when I saw JeffOs post...

The lowest...

Paul,

Those pics of you and your Dad in Africa are fantastic. I'm really sorry to hear he passed, but I'm glad to see you two had the chance to do the Africa thing.

Dad and i shared many and adventure, from hunting in CO where i grew up to Alaska fly in caribou hunts while i was stationed there then argentina for red stag and a couple other exotics and then Africa a couple months after my mother passed from cancer and little sister from a childhood illness. I'll never forget the last time we went hunting, it was a hunt in CO for elk. Dad and i didn't get anything and he rarely ventured far from the tent but i helped my BIL break an 8 year curse and got him on a nice cow, his first elk.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words. Don't be too hard on Jeff, i'm sure he didn't know and just thought it a good time to try to pay me back.

Paul-
Since you've punched a lot of critters with Barnes, do you recall ever seen them do something odd-ball, off the script?

That�s big of you. I normally view JO and Lee24 as an occasional �sour grape� out of a bunch, but besides being crude that comment was completely inappropriate regardless of your fathers passing. Kind of a bummer ending to a good thread also.

My condolences. I wish my father and I had more good memories but he was always too busy/mean and now too set in his ways to change. I keep hoping though�

had one go sideways through a red heartebeast that my dad shot. he hit some brush just in front of it and it entered sideways in the paunch. It was a 375 Ultra 270TSX. that's the only one that went weird that i've seen but it wasn't the bullets fault.
