This was a targeted cull due to his broken rear leg. It was kinda' sad but also funny to watch him hobbling around trying to chase a doe. His leg swung below the knee like it was tied on with a string.
300BLK, 135 yards, facing/quartering, through the shoulder/lungs.  
I think the injury caused his runted antler on the opposite side:

Do kids still play Cops and Robbers, or are they just taught both are equally bad and given a participation ribbon after a rousing game of scoreless Everyone's a Winner Ball? - BehindBlueI's

Attached File 14.5" Pinned BA barrel RDS 69gr SP's 75 yards Took out the tops of both lungs and knocked a decent chunk out of the spine. She didn't even jump or twitch. Just fell over. Was about 125 lbs which is the norm in my area. Excuse the flip flops and shorts...I was getting ready to hop in the shower when I saw her

Vid of the kill two posts up with the suppressed blackout.

I missed a nice 8 at 70 yards, in daylight, while using a borrowed thermal scope a few weeks ago.
Yesterday she stopped 4 feet from where the buck had stood and thinking of that kinda' ticked me off. So I shot her in the face.

Our muzzle loader season is this week. Got this one Monday evening out of the brand new box stand I built. Nice way to christen it. Attached File |

Tikka T3 Hunter with iron sights made specifically for Alberts GMBH in Germany. .30-06 Springfield bought from the EE this summer EAW Quick release mount (WELL worth the money, insane return to zero) Trijicon AccuPoint 2.5-10x56 with red triangle post reticle Ammo was handloaded 180 gr Woodleigh RN in front of 54 gr IMR4350 and a CCI LR Primer  Bullet went in and turned everything in front of the diaphragm into soup, broke the off shoulder and embedded into the tree behind him in 2 or 3 pieces. He went maybe 20 yards and folder pretty hard down the hill.   Picture doesn't do the damage justice, tried to get a good photo of his heart that wouldn't be too much for the forums. |

Here's my rifle. Larue OBR 7.62 with a night force nxs 5.5-22x56.  Killed my first deer ever yesterday just before sundown. 100yrd shot through both her lungs and out her left shoulder. Dropped her in her tracks.   |
To those who have gone before us. May we earn what they have given.

1 of 5 last week with the new LaRue 6.5G. The stamp is back. It'll be chopped to an as-yet-undetermined length after the season closes. Luvin' it but dang it! if I'm not constantly banging that long barrel/can into something.  |

Daughter shot this guy at about 200 yards with her AR15, same one as the post part way up this page, 77gr TMK through the shoulder. He didn’t go far with shredded lungs. Attached File Attached File |

This summer I built a 6.5 Grendel upper. so decided to give it a shot on deer. Took this doe at about 150 yards quartering to me. Dropped her in her tracks. It was with about 15 minute left in shooting light and I mis-judged the range, with her being a smaller doe that was also farther away. Good double lung shot that also severed a couple arteries, but left the heart intact. I was impressed with the 123 gr SST. My dad was in a stand about 500 yards away and said the sound of the impact was about like he'd imagine hitting the deer with a softball bat. Attached File Made the tenderloin for a snack last night when I got home. Attached File |

.50 Beowulf Quartering hard away. Bullet entered right in front of the hindquarter and was found in the opposite front shoulder. Dropped on the spot.   |
Selling your guns to a buyback because you feel criminals have too many firearms, is like getting yourself castrated because you feel the neighbors have too many children.

Small doe, dropped right where she stood. 76 yard shot with 450 bushmaster. Attached File |
Smile, laugh and agree...then do whatever the hell you were going to do anyway.

Got this Axis doe. Anniversary gift from the wife. She got me a meat hunt on a local ranch. Stalked her from about 400 yards or so. Got into a creekbed to get a good angle on her, and had to low crawl about 50 or so yards for a 185 yard shot. .308 165gr federal gameking out of my Larue OBR 18 inch barrel.  Axis Doe 185 yards from prone. |

First kills yesterday with my new 6.5 CM. One doe in the morning at 150 yards. One in the evening shooting prone on a bipod at 250 yards. (No pic of that one). These were my hand loads that are 127gr Barnes LRX bullets. My 2nd kill with the new 308 was last week in the morning at about 175 yards. Factory 150gr Federal Fusions. All shot were double lung/ heart. 308 doe fell straight down. Both 6.5 ran about 20-30 yards. ETA it’s been upper 70’s all week. Unseasonably warm. I’m sweating out the last hour in a stand right now. 🥵

It is a bit on the "tart" side if you will, but like all Cab Savs does go that way. My favorite in years past to celebrate a deer hunt was Carnivore, but I couldn't find that this year at my usual place. |

Factory LaRue 6.5G shooting Hornady 123 gr SSTs. I had to 'borrow' the rifle from my wife, since she stole it from me as soon as I got it home.

No ARs for me, but hopefully the rifles used the last few years are "scary" enough to fit. 2020, SCAR 17S  2021, PTR-91 GI  2022, DSA FAL  KS's rifle season starts next week, so hopefully I'll have another picture to post up with an M1A kill, but I'm not overly optimistic. The pre-rut season was not encouraging. |
