    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    It hasn’t reduced our population that I can tell, yet. I had a doe and two youngins this mornI got in the back yard. Several a day is usual. Had five button bucks last month. A good young six pointer chasin a doe in rut a few weeks ago. Harvested numbers are good so far this year as well.

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    know in Missouri around 2003 MDC said it was in two counties. Now, twenty years later they say sixty six of 114. I question the accuracy especially early on. You won’t see what you’re not looking for, no? I suppose it’s one of those things at this point the individual consumer is going to have...

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    Not being facetious but is CWD data any more trust worthy than covid data?

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    I fear if hunting slows or worse stops CWD will get worse if what Missouri Dept of Conservation says about concentration of population does.

    Just don’t shoot an SMK from an AR with a pistol brace. Most likely knock the earth off it’s axis!

    Rokslide Special 223 recipe

    I have the new style Uniflo and like it much better than the old one. I almost went Redding but cheaped out. So far very consistent with TAC CFE rifle and pistol, even Unique. But spot on with CFE 223.

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    I’m far from a scientist. But about ten years ago we attended a class at a Missouri Conservation center. They said there were far more deer in the USA than since the country was formed. So just asking, is over population a concern/cause? And if the antis got their way I’d suspect that would be...

    Rokslide Special 223 recipe

    I’ve had success, for me, with CFE under 75 gr Hornady FMJBT M. Going to try some TAC as well. Just at .7” 100yd group with free floating 20” stainless. I’d like to try the ELDs.

    I would still like to know terminal comparison between the Hornady 75gr M and the 77 gr Sierra which is what I asked, not whether anyone believes them to be good hunting bullets.

    Appears you don’t know what deflection is. Thanks for playing.

    My loads forced some reason are a bit more accurate with the Hornady’s than the SMK. However I’ve missed most of our deer season so may try alternative methods next month with my Super Blackhawk and 240 XTPs.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    You’re correct to a point. It’s like the analyst question my wife’s asks. “How the heck did pioneers feed their families with worn 36 cal rifles and no CLP fir lube”? Lol Old Paco the lever rifle guru kept venison on the table back in his impoverished days with 38 spl hand cast out of a worn out...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Navy Weapons Center seems to think the M262 (77SMK) is good for putting bg in a grave. Physically a deer shouldn’t be anymore difficult.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I’d like to see some comparisons between 77SMK and 75 gr Hornady Match?
