Cunnilingus aside, that is fucking awesome.

Young fella too, especially for WI..... There's 3. Just an odd angle. Deer is probably 3-4 years old. With the weather conditions opening weekend I was just glad I saw something. |

Attached File I'm a rookie hunter. First deer ever. Got this button buck today with a Rossi .357 lever gun at about 60 or 70 yds, single shot through top of lungs. He managed to run about 100 yds. |

This is still the largest whitetail I have taken with an AR15/M16/M4. Have seen a couple larger whitetail while hunting, one was an enormous 300LB. class 8PT. But older/larger whitetail just don't give you much time to judge then put a bullet in them. All he offered me was a "Texas heart shot" opportunity so I passed. That huge 8PT. was never taken, may well have died of old age by now. This 240LB. whitetail was taken during the peak of the rut @150yds. with a 5.56MM 70GR. TSX fired from a 10" Colt M4: The TSX bullet blew thru the spine then exited.

My son shot this doe the day before Thanksgiving 2016. Fat Arkansas Ozarks deer. He shot her with a 16" Stag 6.8 SPC shooting 110 grain handloaded Nosler Accubonds. Distance was about 50 yards and she ran maybe 20 yards. He got to come home for one day to hunt and was successful.

My baby girl...
Attached File This was her first deer on her first hunt ever. We hadn't sit on the stand for 30 minutes when this doe walked out and presented a perfect broadside shot. I told her hunting usually doesn't work out like this everytime. Either way, she loved every minute and cant wait to go back. Load was a 55 grain Hornady GMX with a max charge of H335. Bullet plowed right through both shoulders and took out the heart in between. |

Took this one this morning with a 300BLK 10.5" AR-15 pistol. Deer #4 for the gun shooting 125gr Nosler BT's. I'm fortunate given our property and my stand location for some fairly close range shots, so can't speak to the longer range performance based on my own experience. But definitely does the trick. All have been through and throughs and have made a mess of the vitals. No trouble breaking ribs on entry and exit. Exit wounds have typically been big enough to easily run a finger through. Exit wound is visible just behind the left shoulder.

6.5 Grendel at 25 yards. Shot him quartering away, so that's the exit wound in the picture. Hit the liver, both lungs and the heart. Still managed to run about 50 yards downhill.

This was my first deer. Got him today on new years day with my Del-ton 16" carbine, and 64gn. Speer gold dots. He started off laying down about 10 yards away from me and when I went to aim he got up and started to run and I put one through both lungs, one just above and behind his lungs, and one through both his back shoulders. He only managed to run about 50 more yards. He made it to about 30 yards away by time I lined up the first shot. He's a 5 point, weighs about 130. |

Played hide and seek with this one for a few weeks but my AR-10 finally brought us closer together.

Got my first deer of the season walking through the forest. He was a 8pt and on one antler 2 of the points were growing next to each other. I shot him with the AR that I built myself. I shot him at about 50yds with an Armscor .223 64gr bonded soft point in the spine and he dropped. I walked up to him and he was trying to get his body working so I shot him again in the heart with a 147gr Federal HST out of my Taurus Millennium G2 9mm. Unfortunately I was the only person there so I didn't take very good pictures.

The 125 Nosler expand well down at 300 BLK velocities. I've killed 4 deer with it so far, but admittedly all were pretty close range shots (< 25yds) so at that range I'm not sure it was the magic of the bullet as much as the benefit of close range. |

Shot last weekend, 6.5 Creedmoor. Had been woods/stand hunting prior with my Grendel, but went to a big open field they'd been feeding in and setup for a long shot with the Creedmoor. This buck stepped out at 60 yards

 Jones County Georgia 8-pointer. Had this deer run a doe past me the week before, but it wasn't legal shooting light yet, but I caught him the next week going from his bedding area to a patch of white oaks to munch some acorns. Ruger American Rifle in .308 Win with the new Magpul American Hunter stock. This stock has made the rifle what it should be. |

I got this buck two weeks ago with my 450 Bushmaster.

Finally got it done this year during the special Antlerless season in Indiana with a 300BLK. I saw the most deer I've seen yet this year, but passed on a lot of shots on does during archery and the main firearms season hoping for a good buck that ultimately never showed up during daylight. I also missed a small buck with a cross bow (shaved hair off his chest, but no blood), so I was pretty frustrated but knew it was just a matter of time.
I had a good feeling tonight after seeing some turkeys walk by the stand. Seems like every hunt that I've seen turkey I've also seen deer, and sure enough about 30 minute later I saw 5 does starting to come out to feed. I had a nice one stop broadside to me at about 50 yards exactly where I wanted it, and with light fading went ahead and took the shot. She mule kicked immediately, and then started running straight at my stand, crashing into a tree 15 feet away! Purely running on adrenaline. The shot was a perfect double lung just behind the left shoulder, with the exit wound slightly back from the right shoulder, with a broken rib on exit. While no blood trailing was needed, I went to where I shot her and tracker her anyway. Great blood on both sides. Had she not crashed in sight there would have been no problem finding her at all. This is my 5th deer with the 300BLK and I'm very happy with it on whitetails. I've been using the 125gr Nosler BT and have had great performance with that bullet. The bullet turned the left lung into jelly, nicked the top of the heart, and punched a big hole in the right lung before breaking a rib on exit. I know some guys prefer the high shoulder shot to drop them in their tracks but I've always been more comfortable with the shot into the boiler room. Sometimes they run a bit on adrenaline but the shot is always fatal and doesn't risk a bullet malfunction when hitting the shoulder. Attached File ETA...dinner pics! Cast iron pan seared back straps. Better than any filet mignon at a high end steakhouse. From kill to grill in just under 24 hours. 
Attached File Attached File Attached File During butchering we were able to assess the damage from the bullet. Left shoulder was torn up, and the bullet broke a rib cleanly on exit, with a hole big enough to stick the index finger into. |
