WTG smokepole GWB I just got myself a new crossbow and these things are like freakin cheating  I would have let the air out of the buck I killed a couple days ago even with my bow. (if I could draw the thing with my [bleep] up back and neck) But I could have killed several does easily that I would not have considered shooting with my bow.

Actually it proves he has mastered bluritude. My hold with a camera is inversely proportionate to my hold with a firearm If I could take pics through my rifle scope they would be awesome.

Nice buck, smokey... Good job on the hunt although according to Take A Knee there's no way you could shoot an animal that close on 14x... Nice cartridge choice, as well.
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Sir,
It's hard to argue with fate, and being a meat hunter at heart, I do likewise. I bet you were jazzed about 5 seconds after you pulled the trigger. Look like a fine buck to me. I'l bet he wil eat just fine.
The 6.5-06 is one chambering I've not owned, but the 6.5 x 284 is probably my favorite of the four different 6.5 chamberings I've owned.
Best,
GWB

Thanks Gee dub, I was jazzed the whole time, except for the wind in the afternoon, that kind of wind will just flat wear you out. I was probably more jazzed before the shot, watching him come in. Had the scope dialed in for 500, then 400, then 300, then 100, that part was fun.

Just had to post this gem for Boxer... Stick, sorry you wasted all that money on a S30V Ingram...grin. I've found plain old 440C superior to S30V. They both hold an edge equally well, the 440 takes half the time to sharpen.

Hey you [bleep]! your master has moved on to a different thread on the the custom rifles and wildcats/custom 220 swift thread. I guess you all didn't get the memo that it's time to leave. Best get over there soon to suck his azz or he'll get all lonely and start tearing up.

Hadn't noticed, sounds like you've got him dialed in though.

There's many reasons I hunt pigs with CB shorts, but mostly I like close. Got my short shooter dialed in at 20 yards. Close is...
