Let’s liven it up in here.

Post a picture of the last animal you killed

Forgot how tough south texas deer can be. I don't rifle hunt much anymore but this ranch isn't set up for bow hunting so I dusted off the old .270 to take to a friends for a few days. I shot a nice 10 point the day before and went looking for a cull and one came out about 30 min before sunset. There was a much larger deer inside the feed pen and this deer skirted the pen for about 15 min before finally getting up the courage to jump in the pen. I didn't want him getting into the pen so I lined up and shot him just as he was jumping into the pen.... in hind sight it wasn't the greatest shot scenario. At the shot I saw dust fly and he jumps into the pen and then out of the pen, starts running towards me and then does a hard 90 and starts running down the road and then hits another road and runs out of sight. I had another one racked but the deer didn't offer me another shot. I was kicking myself for not waiting another 10 seconds but I replay in my mind and am thinking there is no way I missed. Go down to the original road he was running down and saw enough blood a child could follow it. Turned the corner where i lost sight of him and he is dead 100 yards up laying in the middle of the road, perfect shot right behind the shoulder.



For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Thanks! Its a Bergara 6.5 prc. 18 inch barrel. I was going for a shorter gun to put a suppressor on. It's pretty accurate even with the short barrel.

πŸ‘πŸ» I watch a lot of YouTube. I went down a rabbit hole of squirrel hunting videos. These guys in Europe with squirrel feeders and $5000 pellet guns. Pretty cool! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Shot Shaggy the Panhandle Pig recently


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

That's a stud cull buck! I really like his cape too. That dark chocolate on top is really cool! I'd like to see the 10 point you got?

I doubled on these two corn bandits! Ruger 10/22, Tac-Sol threaded barrel, Silencerco Spectre II, iron sights, CCI MiniMag 36gr HP. Range about 4', didn't have to holdover or anything crazy.
