If you have success hunting turkey around here after the first weekend of the season, you need to think more like deer hunting, being in the right place at the right time. There are not a lot of birds, but after opening day they are so much more the wise. I have never been able to bring myself...

Mark - I can only echo everything above. The 140g NBT leaves my rifle at 2820 and puts 'em down every time. B

Turkeys usually best me; but today everything went perfect and I still needed some luck. -B

Just wanted to close off this thread w/ a final pic. This is by far the darkest deer I have ever brought home, and somehow my buddy gave him some mean looking eyes... -B

Since nobody bought this, I fixed it up like I wanted and decided I'm going to treat it like any of my other hunting rifles. I had a Gentry Brake installed, put my preferred scope on (FF2), and last night - now that the season is over - I put a Timney Trigger in it at 1.5lbs. I went out today...

Deer season ended yesterday. Now that everything is almost cleaned and put away my mind has turned to what I need for next year. Alas, I have nothing on that list; my life is rather blessed and everything that filters through my grey cells are 'wants'. (I did though have pics of 2 bucks...

I had an exciting penultimate day of the season... Had this girl come in just before sunset, and when getting down to start the real work this guy was on her trail... 140g Accubond over Varget in a 7mm08. -B

And one more thing - I just saw that my post above was the 100th post on this board. Many thanks to all of you for making this a place I enjoy reading each and every day. -B

I shoot a 250g Hornady SST with 2 magnum pellets (60g each) of 777. -B

9AM 4 Hours Later... More on this here: https://forum.nosler.com/threads/the-smoke-pole-spoke-today-schwarber-is-no-longer-a-free-agent.48873/ -B

I saw this guy 2 years ago during muzzle loader season, and then again last year on this very day (also Muzzy season). Neither time could I get a shot. I knew he ruled this back corner of our lease, but in the past 3 years I could only get him on camera once. Not much of a story to share...

For years I shot 139/140g Hornady offerings out of a 7mm08. The only deer that didn't run 50+ yards were shot in the neck or spine (poor shot by me). All animals were taken under 150 yards. The past 4 seasons - after meeting all of you and starting to reload - I have double lunged deer with...

My favorite place in AK is in Seward, Thorn's Showcase Lounge. Get a 'Bucket of Butt' and a steak. Excellent food, atmosphere, and more. -B

I'm not too hung-up on accuracy; I'm a big fan of simplicity. All my rifles are a .284 variety, each with its own brand of brass. All primers are federal. All bullets Nosler. And until this year, all my powder was Alliant (22, 23, and 26). Today I finished developing loads for all my rifles...

I bought this beauty 2 years ago from the original owner (2002 New Haven, CRF). He shot it 6 times and kept it in his safe. I put a pad and lighter trigger spring it in, the rest is original. I have the red butt pad and original spring for the buyer. I have shot this just under 100 times...
