Thank you! I grew up a bow hunter and am used to killing animals using feet as a distance! My last three rifle kills are all over 500. I’m thankful for quality equipment and practice which helps me when closing the distance is not really an option.
I shot him twice but the second shot was...
Man, looking thru all of these pictures, 2019 has been a very productive year! Congrats to you all!
I added a thread with these but wanted to post them here too.
My brother and I shot our first Coues deer on a DIY hunt in southern Az. What a fun hunt!
This past week I was fortunate enough to shoot my first Coues buck, twice. Shot was 565 yards. I use H4831 in a Win brass and primer.
Shot was quartering away slightly. Entered near the last rib and the bullet was found under the hide in front of the off side shoulder. If you look closely you...
My brother and I just returned from our first Az Coues hunt. The travel was terrible with snow packed roads but the hunting was really fun!
We both managed to find bucks we are really happy with.
Cory Shot his buck at 325 yards with his 270 WSM and 150 gr. SST. One shot right thru the...
Thank you! Yeah it was super cold and the first time we have hunted them in anything but T shirts!
His bullet was found on the offside hide after passing through a quartering angle and offside shoulder.
Not much left but one very dead buck!
My son killed this buck last night. About 100 yard shot. 270 Win. 130 gr. BT handloads. Only made it about 10 steps.
Congrats to all who have posted and good luck to you all still hunting!
This has been my experience as well. Our little Savage 7-08 shoots anything I put over powder under inch, to be fair, I only tried the 120 gr. BT, the 139 gr. IB, and the 140 gr. BT. They all shot incredible with Varget.
Those 120’s are shooting 2990 FPS and are devastating on mule deer at...
Well today was the day Mason got his cow. After a short hike into a hidden canyon we found a herd of about 15 elk. After a well executed 150 yard shot, Mason had his first kill! 270 Win with 150 gr. Nosler Partition Handloads did the trick! He actually shot her twice tho the second shot was...
Unfortunately I left my son with my brother to start quartering out the cow while I took Mason after the herd. They were unable to locate the bullet. The entrance was larger than from my partitions. The results were essentially the same.
Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I will update...
My son Dustin shot this cow elk Saturday morning. 250 yard shot with his Rem 700 .270 Win. Handloaded 130 gr BT. He hit her right behind the crease and she only took about 10 steps before dropping.
We had my daughters boyfriend along for his first hunt. He got first shot but missed. We have...
