I'll chime in here as well. The white buck lived just over the hill from my house. I only saw him once unfortunately. His home range just didn't go quite far enough to make him a regular in an area where I could see him from home. He and another buck of similar size, I'm guessing both were 3...
Horrible horrible situation. As a husband and father myself, it about breaks me down thinking of Katie and the trials she has ahead. I'm glad to hear that it sounds like Todd was solid in his faith though! We can be confident in where he is.
Last year at the classic I was standing at a...
I'd likely take 1 or 2 out of state trips each year to pursue some kind of big game. Right now I take zero. I could really foresee coyote hunting taking over most of my free time that I would have been deer hunting.
My initial thought was the orange jacket broke which took out the "seal" and allowed excessive flash out the breech. Was the jacket still in good shape after the shot? Was it still on the nipple? When we used to shoot knights, we'd have a hot enough load in the barrel that the blow back would...
Overall I had a great year. Camera action over scrapes wasn't nearly as good as last year, so I was a little bummed about the "prospects" on camera. But I'd say I personally saw maybe 5 bucks during bow season that I would consider mature and shooters. That's pretty good for me. We did a few...
I try to be in and set up a half hour before shooting light. That doesn't usually happen though...LOL. I would much prefer to walk in while it's still dark than after light for the same reasons sep0667 mentioned above. If you spook a deer in the dark, they generally don't turn inside out but...
I pulled mine after shotgun and have already put a couple back out to monitor when the bucks shed. I'll have more out over bales of alfalfa here within the next week. Shed season is approaching and I'm beyond excited!!
Just some missing hair, very slight scars from the blades and some mucusy stuff inside right in that spot. Very high shoulder blade. It actually came into the cavity right at spine height and may have ever so slightly hit his spine. Should have gotten a little bit of lung but not enough...
Friday night I was able to wrap my tag around a buck that I had decided to target this year. The feeling of being able to go after a specific buck and capitalize on it is incredible! I enjoy naming the bucks I follow and this guy was dubbed Sundance Kid. He had what I am certain was his twin...
Blackhorn's website says a flash hole that is .03-.035 inches is sufficient for igniting blackhorn. You should be fine unless you drilled a really big hole in yours. I will echo iowavf's thoughts and highly suggest using Barnes rather than shockwaves. The Barnes expander TEZ is made for a...
I wouldn't use bore butter with a loose powder. You will fall in love with blackhorn as well as soon as you begin using it. The 15 extra seconds it takes to measure your charge vs. pulling pellets out of the box is well worth the time and you will save an enormous amount of time on cleaning...
