Hunting Season Pics

[4.0B2]

Toss up pics of the deer, elk, or whatever you've killed.
of course, here in Mississippi; its all deer hunting or duck hunting.. i have not been duck hunting yet and have not killed a deer yet.

i've seen 3 does but i was on open public land and couldn't legally bag a doe.



also, toss up some pics from your stand or where you hunt. i like to see the scenes from it all to. have a game camera? put those pics up to!

This is the biggest I have seen on the hoof lately, the date is a month off on the camera. Ain't terrible but is far from great, I have another pic somewhere that shows him being fairly wide.

Reason being my brother stuck the dominant buck last month, first deer he even drew back on let alone took a shot at.

What do you suppose these rascals are up to?

Shotgun season starts next Saturday so I getting wound up for that.

This was my first buck. The skull is mounted in my room. It doesn't look very big but in person the antlers are pretty big for a fork.

Well heres my mine. Shot this one opening day Nov 21
30-06 at around 40 yards does the trick.

30-06 at 40 yards is overkill... not saying i've never done it! lol

4.0B2: 30-06 at 40 yards is overkill... not saying i've never done it! lol

It was either the 30-06 or 300 win short mag. I figured the 30-06 was less overkill

Here is a Pronghorn I took in the last couple years. Not the greatest horns but he sure tasted good!

Shot at 200 yards outside of Laramie using the shown Savage model 10 in 308. I used a Barnes tipped triple shock. Dropped him like a sack of potatoes.

Ohh....antelope!! I love antelope!! My PA deer season was pretty slim (little buck at 363yds) so I'll post some pics from my last western trip.

Here's a close one...200yds w/ a XP-100 7mmx270WSM and Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 MLR. 162gr Hornady A-Max at 2825fps.

A little farther but still close. 236yd horned doe.

And a little farther yet. 400yd horned doe.

And finally on the last day the conditions and a buck cooperated. 1,037yds first shot kill. We were shooting prairie dogs at various ranges between 1,100-1,200yds when this bucked walked around hill and stood there like he was a target. With the conditions doped we only had to take out a little and dropped him stone cold dead.

Where did you go? I would love to try that sometime...

that short barrel will make it out to 1200 yards? damn, what's the twist on it?

i only got to go hunting once this year, saw a very young buck so i let him live.....for another year.

We were near Gillette, WY.

that short barrel will make it out to 1200 yards? damn, what's the twist on it?

It's a 1-9" twist Lilja @ 17" plus the DE brake, Holland lug, Sako extractor, HS Precision stock, fully blueprinted and wicked accurate. The WSM variant I'm using is basically a .280AI on a XP-100 platform. At 500yds it will shoot 1/4 MOA groups....equates to 1.25". At 1K yds we were getting 7-9" groups with the switchy conditions. The A-Max expanded amazingly well and left a nasty 2" exit hole. Under 500yds we were getting holes you could actually SEE THROUGH on the antelope.

Here's a fall turkey from a couple years ago. 396yds.

My first kill over 1/4 mile w/ the XP. 462yds.

Couple days later. Small buck at just under 400yds.

Here's getting it done old skool...still hunting and got this guy at 65yds in an old apple orchard. My best buck back in 2005. 13pt w/ a Contender .30 Herrett.

I could go on and on..........got more dead animal pics that family pics I think!!

 

[88_Eddie]

interesting, i figured it was a pretty fast twist, i never thought those little guns were used for long range stuff.

 

[4.0B2]

the A-Max is one heck of a bullet... that's all i shoot for hunting now.
