Gun hunting in the rain

<< < (2/6) > >>

JEB:
I only hunt in the rain because I have some nice hunting shacks to do it from.  I reload my own shells and use Nosler ballistic tip bullets in all the loads including the 223 round that two of my grandkids use. A good round and a well place shot will down a deer in quick fashion.

If you are a good shot, shoot them in the head. They will travel about 4 feet.

I live in shotgun only zone. Never used a 44 or .223 for deer have for fox and coyote.

A 12 gauge slug make a pretty good hole. I've seen with my own eyes a buck shot from about ten yards through the heart run over 100 yards like nothing happened. Until he did a hi ho silver on his rear legs and flipped over stone cold dead.
 
I've seen people empty their guns on deer as they ran away and watched them fall over dead. The only shot that hit was the first. I've seen them drop like a stone to, but you just never know for sure. Sometimes their dead and their brain just doesn't know it.

With a rifle, I like to break the neck, no tracking and nice clean piece of meat

Russ:
would you shoot it in the neck?

The white patch under his chin is a good target also butt of the ear. But yes I’d shoot it in the neck.
