    Little CB buck

    I shot this little guy this morning. I used a 260 gr. Loverin MM mold, ACWW, in one of my .358 Winchesters. He's nice and fat.

    Kinda like me!

    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    I'm envious of your snow. I'm sitting in the Cincinnati airport and it's 82 degrees outside.

    What was the MV of your 358 load?

    Good Going on that Little Buck. But I thought Cast BOOLITS would Bounce off lol.




    On the Heat Note yep in the mid 90's in the South. Our Deer Season Starts Nov,3 rd and I am not happy with the weather report as it says 83F for the High and 60F for the Low and only 8 MPH Wind. One can not let game sit long at those temps.

    So if the plan works of which most times it does not lol. I plan to be in the blind an hour or so before day break and hope to get my Game either Deer or Hog while it is still cool enough to skin it and quarter it and put it on ice before the Sun Starts to Melt us lol.

    I'm not sure exactly how fast these are going. My chrony has a, um, well, it's, uh, that is, uh, not working at the time. They should be flying right around 2200 fps, though.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up.

    I hope the vehicle is downhill, that way you could of had a toboggan ride drag. Nice little tasty buck. It looks like you could get in to a little longer than 100 yd in those woods there. Are whitetails becoming more widespread there? That white stuff is good for tracking after the shot and adds more contrast to the woods, along with easier dragging. But, it can get wet in those conditions.

    runfiverun, anytime you want to get rid of a neck roast just send it my way. I think the neck roast is the best and only roast in the whole deer.

    wow

    Little buck. Personally I think that is a little silly. Any legal game animal take fair chase with a cast boolit is wonderful. Good on you. I am envious

    I got myself to thinking. My chrony hadn't worked last time I tried it, after changing batteries. Then this afternoon, changing batteries in the smoke detectors (I cook a lot), I tried the same battery I had put in the chrony. Dead as could be. Put in a fresh one, and it worked again!

    I do have a wheeled cart to haul out with. I had to go to a point just over my right shoulder at the far end of the clear cut, plus a few hundred yards more. That was far enough.
    I was surprised and pleased to see the deer are apparently making a decent comeback. I think when the F&G killed 28 wolves around here, it really helped things.

    Nice looking meat buck. Found out long ago that those big horns don't taste good no matter how much salt and pepper you put on em.

    I do like to see a nice rack when I take a fine bead on that big fella, but a fat doe or a younger buck make much better eating. I have policed myself here the past few years to take only a bigger buck than those I have hanging on the wall now. If not bigger I let him pass. I did take a buck last year with a muzzleloader that had a rack that more looked like an antelope than a deer. It was a few years old and I thought needed to be taken. Otherwise I consider myself a meat hunter. On the thread subject I also agree that that is fine looking buck and some beautiful country. Nice going.

    A very true and dear friend of mind at Ft. Campbell was disabled from Viet Nam and worked on base. We hunted together, me with a regular bow and he with a crossbow. When he killed a deer I would offer to drag it out, and he always told me no. He would walk from the kill to the truck with a 2000 ft roll of 550 cord and tie the deer to the truck then pull it up. (He never hunted very far into the areas because of his disability) and would just use the truck to retrieve his game. Dang, I miss that ole man. I did try to stay in touch with him, but eventually lost track. One of God's angels amongst the fallen for sure. God bless our Vet's.
