why cant i see any of these deer ? i have seen one deer in probly 15 hunts.i have at least 9 different deer 0n my camara.three are bucks!!!
man i cant beleve you sawed that rack off!!!!
i just sent one back today (no joke) works good up to 100 yards.at close ranges it works fair like 20 and 30 yards but after that you have to point it at big ojects like houses and cars.i just wasnt satasfied with it at all.but i guess you get what you pay for.
thats a fine one.tell us the story,were you still hunting or dog hunting.
well im glad to see you having a good season you deserve it.but im still mad at you for not geting back on gumswamp with me.
i think its common sense that a heavier bullet has more knock down power.
oh! by the way nice deer and story!!
we always put ours in the freezer.thats what the taxadermist is going to do with it.
some people amaze me with their comments!!always has to be something negative!!
you must be one of the people who think a spike will never be anything but a spike.
its hard to manage your lease when you have other leases on all four sides of you that shoot everything.
i just wish louisiana would go to 4pt or better like mississippi.just my opinon!
as i told yah a few comments down i was having the same trouble and i went with the leupold 3x9x40.i wanted the 50mm but my ruger came with scope mounts that you couldnt put the 50 mm on.my longest shot out of my stand would be 300 yards do you think a went with the wrong scope?by the way i shoot a 270 win.
this comment is to dishrag or doushrag no one ever said any thing about it being a law to wear camo!!
its like i seen someone on here say a few weeks back camo is just like a uniform when its comes to hunting.it just goes with the outdoors.most of the time i am in full camo,face mask,gloves and everything but i have killed deer right under me before with blue jeans and a red flannel shirt on.nice deer congrats!!!
i was having the same problem,trying to figure out what scope to buy and i went with the leupold 3x9x40 its was 300.00 and i love it.i was going to go with the nikon with the side focus but i wasnt firmiler with it.
if the kid did shoot one and you can find out who he is i think you should let him have it.since you found it dead its a fact that your not the one that killed it.a rack like that would make a kid a hunter for life.
i would have never cut that deers throt and messed up that mount.
we killed one on our lease about 5 years ago.the head was weird looking we cleaned the deer and the meat was real pink and stunk some kind of bad.as bad as a hate to say we were scared to eat it and feed it to coyotes.
she killed this one in october on youth weekend but she wanted to put it up front again .so i said you got it baby.
i dont know how ever one else feels but im tired of hearing about this big buck that was found that know body will ever know who really killed it.maybe it just died of old age!!
