Tack Driver

Good going! Congrats! I know what you mean about dragging it out of a creek bottom up a hill. The second deer my stepson shot we had the same experience with. It took us an hour to get him up the hill and another 3 hrs. to drag him a mile up and down canyons and across meadows just to get it back to camp. By the time we got it back to camp I was one solid cramp from the back of my neck down to my toes and couldn't even move for 2 hrs. Even though I haven't gotten my first deer yet if I see one down in a canyon I won't shoot at it for that reason. We usually hunt the higher ground that way the carry is downhill. If it was an 8 pointer like yours I would reconsider though. I'm sure that venison is gonna taste extra good for your effort. Glad to hear a success story!

Congrats !!! On your 8pt. !!! I shot the first deer to come along LOL...I had some important things to do today, so I could'nt stay in the woods long.
I hunted in a tent blind and I have nothing but praise fot them.
What I found when I stuck my rifle out of the window to shoot my buck, the report (muzzel blast) With the barrel outside of the blind, it was'nt ear drum bursting at all !!!
No more tree or lean to stands for me.

Thank you tack for the PM and let me know if you get another one.
See you later... Mike

Wow! That 300WM rifle and Redfield scope combo seem to be working well for you...congratulations.

Per your VM on my G&G member's home page...

Yes, I have rifles in mind often, and the 300WM is a dandy, in standard and/or WSM/RSAUM configurations,...

...and, a recommendation and/or use would be based on what our need and purpose in using a particular rifle would be.

Yeah, at least we get to enjoy the outdoors and comraderie.

Thanks, Terrible year so far and it not over yet but there's always next season if it stays the same :|

You can see it on my Avatar. I used it to shoot the pig in the picture. Shot it offhand at 20 yds. right behind the ear. With the 8 3/8" bbl. it's plenty accurate.

tt is the likely suspect lol, chris is working on getting it back up

Hey Tack Driver. Long time no hear. How's the hunting?

I have not taken the AR 10 hunting. I usually take my Savage Scout (.308), Ruger 77/44 (.44 Mag.) or my Marlin 1895 XLR (45-70). Depends on what I'm hunting. We don't seem to have a regular season for the critters my AR 10 is set up for. LOL
