Sometimes it's best to blend in with the herd.

This calico hoglet stood out amongst all the others. So she got nailed.

Talley one more for the Merkel!

Firearm deer season opened this last weekend, here in Indiana. I used my CVA Scout .44 mag/leverevolution ammo, to score on 2 nice does, the last 3 days.

The pics aren't the best, but you get the idea.

My son scored a small buck on the third day, with his handi rifle .44 mag/LE ammo, also.

All my hunting this fall[squirrels/deer] has been with single shot rifles.

What are those deer eating?!! Hell, even the does look bigger than my 10-pointer!


I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

Brickie, we grow em big here in NW Indiana. grin My heaviest buck ever weighed 226 lbs. field dressed, and my biggest doe was 140 lbs. field dressed. Add 30-35% and you get real close to the live weight.

The heaviest deer ever killed in the county I hunt in southeast Oklahoma was a little over 170 pounds; my heaviest was a little under 130 pounds.

I don't know what my 2012 single shot take buck weighed, but I do know I am 5'9" 185 pounds, and I could only lift one end.

To get him into the vehicle, I had to put a rope around his neck and winch him in.

Took a WT doe this morning at 9:30 with the 7x57 1A.

92 yds, broadside & clueless ain't hard but I didn't scorn her for bein' easy.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

Shot this buck with a 20 guage NEF Tracker II using a 3" Winchester Partition Gold Sabot. @ 85 yards.

When rifle hunting I mainly use Handi Rifles and Toppers. Maddog I have a CVA in 7mm-08 Stainless I am still working with to get consistent shot after shot performance.

Just returned from Kyrgyzstan two weeks ago and the new Luxus 30-06 I took worked just fine on this mid-Asian Ibex.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
