Off the hind legs. Jumped the deer out of a thicket. And missed when the deer zigged and I zagged. Settled down on the second shot and at about 75 yds. It was DRT. Not perfect shot placement, as the bullet hit a bit far back, but not a lot of meat damage and as I said earlier, Bang-flop

WAY TO GO G-12!

Thanks Ken, i was thinking of you today. Hope you were able to make your trip. And I hope you got some more good news

Nice job gitem!

I figured you were talking deers or something similar, but looked on the wild hope someone had tried the knockout game on you. Probably better this way.

Yes,we made it G-12.

Looks like a fat one, nice!

No smokepole. That .358 hit it so hard it knocked the spots clean off of it. I have been under never ending ball busting for shootin a runt

Runts taste good!

Nice shootin'!

Runts are also easier to get to the truck.

Gitem-12,
I guess you used a 358 Winchester.
Can you tell me the type of bullet?

Always love the bang-flop
Nice job

Nice job! Don't feel bad, I shot an even smaller one with my bow earlier this year. It's bad when you can pick it up and carry it to the truck like a suitcase.

Hornady 200 grain spire point factory loads. I got the rifle and didnt have mich time to olay with loads but these are giving me 1inch groups

1" groups,you're d*** lucky to even hit the deer!

Good for you

Thanks rick.

Ken you would not believe the compliments i got about being such a good shot,...being able to hit a target that small running

Did you tell them that you shot it with one eye closed.

Nope when they were laughin i simply asked how maby tgey killed today


Things got real quiet

That will work!

Nice job, my friend. I like the young tasty ones, and am guilty of inviting one just like that into my freezer this fall. Only I used a 6mm...

Great job, I held out all season to shoot Mr. Big buck with my 358 Win. too and ended up knocking the spots off of one also. My first deer with the 358Win. and still have a 3 day modern hunt after Christmas so maybe then. I used a 200 gr. Hornady Interlock hand loaded with 50 grs. BLc2 military brass & BR primers clocked @ 2464 fps. Shoots bug holes too! Loving my 358 Win. Oh 40 yard shot!

I've still got three tags to fill and the entire last week of the season off. So i'm hopeful it will see more use and yes them little ones are darned tasty

I read a post somewhere around here in the last few days where someone called them "Vealison" I think it was. LOL

Vealison.

I love it.

Hell yeah Gitem, I have the exact same rifle, EVERYTHING so far has went right down with the 200 gr TSX's, I had concerns of them not opening at a lower velocity of only 2700 fps at extended hunting ranges.

I was wrong, they have performed perfectly on light game [deer/pigs] out to just over 200 yards so far.

Just got in from hunting out in the snow and ice with mine a few minutes ago, the all weathers are GTG for any weather condition, enjoy that rifle, I sure like mine.

Take enough ammo.

We are planning a river hunt this week. All during duck season we we kicked deer off of the islands in the river. And after a week and a half of pressure I have a suspicion more than a few deer will hold up on those same islands. So the plan is to motor as far north as we can get, and drift down river watching the banks early in the AM, then start doing little 3 man drives on the islands the rest of the day. Hopefully we can find a few bigger than the one I shot yesterday

Got a dog bigger than that deer.


But no open season on the dog.

Oh and good luck on filling your three tags G-12.

Bambi Bites!!! my favorite :-)

Thanks Ken. I'm looking forward to tge time off

The Pres. Says dog is a fine meal though....

That'll get it done!

Good job. The 35's are great from the 35 Remington to the 358 STA. There isn't a bad one in the bunch. Keep up the good shootin.

Mart

What else can we say, except you like getting you balls busted??? Nice rifle though

You better shoot 5 more if you want to fill your freezer

We used the 200 gr TTSX launched at 2650 fps from a pre-64 M70 carbine on a couple of handfuls of critters, large and small, last summer in Africa and the bullet performed perfectly.

Since when do you believe the Pres....

Since Walt said we should

10-4, Thanks ED, I have two boxes of the 200 gr TTSX's to try as soon as I get about 20 more loaded rounds with the TSX's shot up.

Congrats - that one will eat good I resolved to shoot a mature doe yesterday morning, but of course only saw fawns and young bucks, so they all walked

The one and only recovered after passing a diagonal longitudinal path through a hog. This a 200 yard shot. The exit where we cut the slug out is clear.







This one dropped at just shy of 400 yards and the bullets clearly expanded and he dropped at the shot.

The young man there done some fine shooting, also good to know the TTSX's opened out to near 400 yards, should I ever be presented a longish shot while toting my 358W I can take it with confidence.
