Deer Season!
- Thread starter Doug627
- Start date
Firearms season doesn't open until the 30th. I have a favorite Savage 99 in .308 I'll be using (a cheap E model with rotary mag but no counter). I also have a PSA KS-47 7.62x39 for does once I fill the buck tag. My son just got back from California (Wildland firefighter, this is his offseason). He usually uses a 6.5 Creedmoor but decided he wanted to go back to his first rifle this year, another Savage 99 in .250.
That's what they make crossbows for.
Dogs decided to lay down on the job.
Those are the fattest deer dogs I have ever seen!
First time out today this season. PSA 300 BLK. I need lots of ammo cause I can't hit ****.
I want to see a big buck tied across the roof of that new Vette! Now that would be a picture.
Last few years those same dogs would run right past without stopping and disappear for the day. They were in shape.
This year they pooped out in about an hour and a half.
Old school for me. My father sporterized an 1903 Springfield and a 1938 8mm Mauser K98 in the 1950s. They were purchased right out of the American Rifleman as surplus military arms.
I have both and they shoot 2 MOA on a good day, but plenty accurate for less than 100 yards. I recall my father using heavy 220 grain Core-lock ammo in his 30-06 and dropped almost every buck he shot in its tracks. My 8mm was no slouch either!! Still have both, but gave up deer hunting for deer feeding 10 years ago. I sight them in every fall for old time sake, clean them and hang them in the gun rack until next season.

My 2 deer rifles are my Interarms MkX carbine in . 30-06 that I stocked myself from a Bishop blank back in the mid 80s, and the Remington 760 .30-06 given to me by a dear (now departed) neighbor of my parents. Primarily carrying the Remington this year since I bagged a doe last year with the Mk X.
Only saw 1 buck yesterday. After we came in to warm up and were enjoying coffee and donuts, a nice 4 pointer walked right through my cousin's backyard in full view of the dining room window, looked at us, smiled, and walked into the woods right towards where I sit!

I don't have a buck on a Vette - but I do have a buck on a VW c.1968, age 15.
He wouldn't get in? Must have been a Ford man.
