I live right off base and don’t do much besides hunt and work. If you deer hunt much, get with me and I’ll help you at whether it’s sharing pins or dragging bucks!
If I wanted one rifle that could do it all, and have readily available ammo absolutely anywhere, I would go with this list in order. Any of them kills anything around here, may not be fancy or what’s in style nowadays but any of the three rounds I mention will get the job done.
1…308
2…30-06
3…270
My problem is I’ve been gathering points just to gather them, and have no idea what zone I’m even wanting to hunt. At this point after next year I can draw a low odds zone most likely, but still have zero idea of where I even want to hunt. Iowa is a one and done thing for me, so I wanna go in a...
It’s hard for me to not love the SST’s. I’ve used em for awhile now with my 30-06, and out of 25-30 bucks I’ve shot with em, I can remember TWO running past eye sight, and that’s cuz the brush was thick as heck. They’re devastating, but you know once you get an itch to try a new gun or new...
My problem with the round is I don’t really care for it. It doesn’t leave good blood trails no matter where you hit the deer. I’ve shot them for years along with some other bullets, and just don’t care for em, but I’ll use whatever the rifle wants me to use.
I recently bought a 270 Browning BAR. I dated the serial number to 1980 or 81. Anyone else been using these guns pretty regularly? It operates good, and I’ve looked for one for awhile, BUT it seems to only like Winchester deer season XP bullets. Is the new stuff like Hornady eld-x or sst to hot...
I’m from Louisiana. I hunt white tails here and outta state, mostly in Arkansas but the Midwest as well. I kill em any way I can, bow, rifle, shotgun, it doesn’t matter to me. I love bow hunting though, and getting new people in the woods hunting! I also hog hunt a bunch during the off season...
I sure appreciate the advice. I hate truck shopping worse than anything. I always feel like I’m getting shafted one way or another! There really needs to be a class on the ins and outs of it!
This was another point year for me. I decided 4 years ago to accrue points and am really procrastinating, because I don’t even have a zone in mind to honestly hunt.
