    Skull turns dark/ black euro mount issue

    I don’t even know what Golden Corral is lol. Doesn’t maceration take well over 3 days? Can I rinse and simmer from here with good results?

    Skull turns dark/ black euro mount issue

    I’m in day 3 of macerating my first deer I’ve harvested. Small cooler, aquarium heaters. Detached garage, 1/4 acre, and neighbors all around. Dang she’s stanky! I’m panicking about what to do with the water now 🤣 my wife is about to castrate me, we have in-laws and family coming for Thanksgiving...

    Youth Compound Bow

    Hi guys, 8.5 and 6.5 year olds. They have expressed interest in compound bows a lot recently. I had gotten my oldest a Baer youth bow a couple years back he enjoyed but it had been drawn and released by the youngest a few too many times and it’s not in service anymore. Looking for a solid...

    The exit wound was not terribly large. Lungs were mush. The hide trapped the jacket and core. 73 eldm. 40 yard shot. 16”

    Where do you consider midcoast? Got it out off route 9. Monsters out there where I hunt but I took first opportunity today given kids and wife etc lol. I hit it at about 40 yards. Sprinted right at me darted into pine thicket and died after about a 20 yard run

    This was my 8 yo first time ever pulling the trigger on a gun after sighted in with 73 at 100yd he was shooting 55 wolf gold at 50 so his POI expected. I think it’s a great platform and effective

    Not for me at this point. I have one rifle and it’s 5.56 and had a clean lung shot on a 135# deer and went down without issues. Not looking to buy “moar rifle” at this point given my results and quick death of my harvest. Clearly it’s better enough

    AAC TMK has been .90 cpr for a while and is OOS as well. I wonder if it will be like this for a while like the BH

    Sub-$400 scope for deer

    My hunting will be woods / thicker brush in Maine. Low light am and pm often. I was looking at meopta optika 2-10 and zeiss 2-10 used but concerned about reticle visibility where I will be. Any input?

    Sub-$400 scope for deer

    I’m in the same boat. 556 within 200 yards. Around $500. Most everything recommended OOS and seem to be SFP. From my reading I would think I would want FFP?

    Are you able to help point me in that direction? I tried searching but only came across the “calling form out” thread. I bought 200 of 73 eldm to gear up for November but I would also like to continue reading on this subject. I see he has recommended 73 here and didn’t mention aac. I bet AAC...

    Isn’t that knowingly giving up a lot of meat? And with a neck shot is there higher risk of error? Not hitting the trachea, artery, or spine and just a large chunk of flesh?

    Great, thanks. A lot of guys around here say hit the shoulder with 06 or 308 but I’ve always wondered why they wouldn’t just go for vital shot?
