Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting high speed impact

Here's a photo of the doe I killed this year. The .257 85HV impacted above the nose and exited between the ears. Impact was about twenty yards from muzzle. Oehler average for three, three groups was 3,919 feet per second.



This is a photo of the exit from the buck at about 90 yards.

Classy. Stick to boring people with your nonsensical drivel in the optics forum.

Hmm, not impressed.

what a douche. The ground hog patch is -------> over there thats where that rig with that load belongs

To me that shows a lack of respect for the animal you are hunting. The longer I've been hunting the more I respect the animals I'm killing and want to do it in the most respectful way possible. It's what I'm trying to pass on to my kids, and if one of my kids did that to a deer intentionally they'd get an earful.

God bless,

You crossed the line, unfortunately you are not the first to post garbage like this.

Ya know, chit like that can happen in the field, hopefully not on purpose but it can happen.

But why in the [bleep] would you post a picture like that?

Velocity/energy, we get it. Go shoot a [bleep] pumpkin or a water jug if you want to experiment with carnage.

This pisses me off.

It would reflect poorly on those of us that cherish the honored values and traditions of the field if we did not point at this and express disgust and disapproval.

EXACTAMUNDO!


Thanks Dave.

I have no problem with a guy taking that shot if he is well prepared and practiced. No doubt the deer was DRT and to me, that is important.

Posting the pic here is low-class, senseless and does more harm than good.

Wow.

Thanks, guys for the responses. All that was visible was about three inches of neck and the face. On a doe tag here one can kill a doe or spike I hunted several days and that was the last hour of the last day when I took that shot.

I sure am curious how a photo of a deer shot in the head is different from a deer shot in the chest. Both are dead meat. How is it sensible or senseless and does harm or do good?

Maybe someone more astute than me could explain this respect for the animal thing. Shoot one in the chest is respectful and shoot one in the head and that is not respectful? What? I don't get it. They are pests in my garden and orchard. Tell me they are not objects of hunting in the woods and food on the plate.

By the way all who would not take the only presented shot on the last day at the last hour of the season on a legal game animal tell me where I was wrong.

No one said they wouldn't take the shot. And as far as why posting that photo was tasteless, if you have to have it explained to you then it's not worth the effort.

For the same reason sometimes a casket is open and others closed.
In the first we do the best we can. In the second it would be tasteless and serve no useful purpose other than be disgusting.

Oh and the fps was another jewel of info. Wow.

The OP has proven time-and-time-again that he is simply incapable of reason.

Its hard not to feel the same way, but I've been ignorant in quite a few areas in my life till someone comes along and enlightens me, hope the same for the OP. Glamorizing gore has no place in our sporting tradition, it is part of it without a doubt and that cannot be denied but not the part worth going over again and reliving. The animal gave up its life, have some respect.

I'd explain it this way to the OP. If you have non-hunting friend chances are that his/her attitude about hunting is close to the average person's. In other words, chances are he thinks hunting is OK and supports your right and mine to do it. But doesn't have strong feelings about it one way (pro) or the other (anti).

So bring him to the screen, tell him you were just trying to illustrate bullet performance or whatever it was you were trying to show, and ask him what he thinks of your photo and whether it puts hunting in a positive or negative light.

I got redfaced pissed when I saw the picture, and the dumbazz who posted it doesn't know why.

This is why I chuckle when someone says we hunters have to stick together. I'll pick who I want to stick together with, and this clown isn't one of them.

Am l correct in understanding you guys don't appreciate good bullet performance?

You're an idiot.
