These little guns are great. I bought mine for the kids and my buddy likes it so much he borrows it for his son too. Drops whitetails like turning off their switch. Barnes VorTX for me!

About 2010 I purchased an Evo shooting shirt with a moldable shoulder pad insert. The thing was great for high volume dove hunting and large caliber shooting. I lost the insert and am trying to replace it. Anyone know a source?

Thats a nice rig, love to see a pic without the MB and neoprene!

I start eith a “most likely” that includes last direction of travel, sounds I heard after the shot, lay of the land, etc. then if that draws a blank, switch to the spiral.

Love those Barnes bullets. Great shot and big bodied deer! thanks for the pics

Ok guys, great responses and stories. Thanks for all the good stuff. I did a quick count, counting multiple votes by the same person as full votes, i.e. if you said 243, 6.5 Creedmoor and 30-06 are all great, I gave all three a vote. I also tried to eliminate the same person voting twice for...

I've shot a number of weights and materials and like most. Shooting monometals this season. Only ones I've had trouble with are Cor-Lokt. Don't care for them.

Robertson, mentioned in earlier posts is also a big fan of the 9.3x62 for readons mentioned above.

Well i bet anyone could follow this bloodtrail. This was a cull shot with my tikka t3 243 last year in west tx after a rare snnow.

A little background, my father in law debated me one time, 243 is the best deer cartridge. I said, naw, it's the 30-06. He said no way, the 243 kills them just as dead, sweetest shooting cartridge with no recoil, and very flat and fast. Shortly after that, I 'd gotten on a lease and bought a...

As an under layer, it's hard to beat polypropylene long johns, they just don't hold sweat when you're hiking then light merino (Kuiu Ultra merino 145 zip t hoodie), then puffy (Kuiu quixdown) then water/windproof layer. For socks, it's hard to beat the filson over the calf heavy merino wool...

This guy read my mind about the 300 win mag. Having a rifle in the safe to cover every occasion is the dream. I sometimes admit that I invent new situations to justify getting a new rifle - haha, don't tell anyone I admitted it. For me a new rifle is about options, covering bases and that...

Great story thanks for the pics
