    Very last day buck

    Congradulations to my lil' brother(TATA@27) All your dedicated scouting and sacrifice not only for yourself, but for your family and friends finally paid off with a fantastic buck. We really missed you at our camp this year, but I undersood that what you were doing was for the enjoyment of your son and close friends, and what better reason.... but in the service of others. Can't wait to see that buck hanging on the wall at your house, sure is a dandy!! BERTZ Can anyone guess what this one will score?

    Bullet Question

    I was using Winchester brand 150 grain power point. ac guy makes a good point with regards to the .243. I used that caliber rifle for over 18 years with 80 grain bullets and took down both coues and mule deer. I only recently bought a 30-06 and wasn't familiar with what size of load to try out. The only grains I could find in 30-06 caliber were .150, .165, and .180. As I stated before, only a dumb luck chance trip to Sportsmans Warehouse that I discovered that 30-06 came in .125 grain, but that was already after I'd zeroed in at the range and did'nt have time to switch. Turns out it didn't matter anyway, I just came in from my Oct. 36A hunt empty handed. I passed up a spike buck second to the last day, and that was the only buck I seen the entire trip out. I stared that deer down for ten minutes at 50 yards wondering if I should take em' or not. I came away with the fact that, that buck was dead meat standing, and yes it would have felt good to harvest a deer this season, but I felt even better letting him go, knowing that he may grow up to be a monster someday, and that I may even be the one to take him when he's all grown up. The good news was that my brother TATA@27 just bagged a nice 4x3 this evening. I'm sure he'll post the pictures as soon as he can. Good job Richard now we are both tied with 13 kills apiece ( bothers always competing)

    Bullet Question

    I was thinking about making that switch myself, after seeing all the damage to the buck a shot last fall with 150 grain. Let me know how that works out for you. The only place I've ever seen that particular grain was at Sportsmans warehouse. Good luck!
