I moved the scope to my 6.5 SP-10, hit it with the rattle can, and upgraded the light. Yeah, those are still zip ties. I can light up the world with that 2400 lumen light from Academy Sports. A Harris 25s with the ADM Pic Mount. I’m looking for a thermal in my price range. I’m ready to piggie hunt regardless.

Groundhogs are starting to move.

The 2 doe are from a property that neighbors the farm where Randy Simonitch harvested his 269 7/8” buck.

This deer I took at 60 yards with archery gear in 2016, also in Pike County Missouri.

 

[TACC]

Great job guys,
Shoot straight and shoot often

 

[Tater Salad]

Took this 8 at 178 yards with the DD5V1 using 165 grain Hornady Superformance. 1 of 8 deer I harvested during the 2019 season. 5 with the crossbow and 3 with the DD5.

NM bull I shot with a 6.5 Saum and 140 Berger Elite Hunter at 300 yds.

I stalked this guy almost 80 yards in the rain. He was bedded down in a thicket of multi-floral roses. 12 yard shot and a 20 feet recovery.

Went turkey hunting only to end up killing these

 

[stello1001]

Got this rattler two days ago. Put two round in her somewhere in the body and a third right behind the head, as if it were a neck shot. Then my cousin asked for the gun and went in on her pretty close to put one in the head. It's a venomous snake so better be sure it's 100% dead.

Shot it with the VP9!

 

[diggler1833]

Big snake. You won't catch me picking one up unless the head is completely gone. Had a headless body of a rattler reflex back and hit dad on the arm after he cut its head off and then picked it up. Startled us both.

I will get this going again for the fall. 265 pound Maine black bear.

That’s awesome. Area I hunt here in Louisiana has more black bears per square miles than anywhere in the US. They relocate them here. Can’t hunt em! They’re mostly on trackers and radio collars. They scare off the whitetail and gorge themselves on the corn at the feeders. Don’t make the mistake of leaving a honey bun in the golf cart, as me how I know.....

Thats insanity. They eat more fawns than coyotes do

60 yards with a bow is impressive!

 

[TanktheFrank]

Summer 2020 pigs, my brother and I did a count down and popped two at 60 yards or so. Both DRT.

223 handloads, 50 grain spire points over H335. I had just finished load development on these the week before.

308, Hornaday SST factory that he's shot for years with great results.

Shot from the blind after baking in the sun for a while...

Granddaughter took this one, her first was a huge 8 last year and now this one. The little girl is getting hard to compete with.
