Outdoors, Hunting and Fishing / Got a gobbler this morning

« on: April 23, 2024, 08:45:29 AM »

Called this guy and another Tom in from about 1/4 mile away this morning.  He came in hot to my decoy and strutted up about 30 yards from me, so I let him have a load of hevi-shot.  He started the flop and the other Tom ran over to investigate him.  The other Tom had two beards so I regret being so quick to take this guy.

Outdoors, Hunting and Fishing / Sighting in the turkey gun and bucks in velvet starting to show

« on: April 22, 2024, 03:57:34 PM »

I bought some Hevi-shot (Tungsten) and a new Primos Jellyhead choke tube and just sighted in the shotgun.

This load hits a full foot higher and a foot to the right of my lead load and recoils a lot heavier. Multiple targets showed over 200 pellets in a 10" circle and more than a half a dozen lethal hits in a life sized turkey head/neck target

Also, it costs me near $10 a shot with tax and shipping.

I also checked the game cameras and the bucks starting to show new antlers.

Outdoors, Hunting and Fishing / Long distance goat

« on: November 24, 2015, 08:38:14 PM »

The first hunting post in about 6 years.


While I was in New Zealand last week, some of the guys were shooting at goats across the canyon.  The white spot in the middle of the photo below is a cliff face at 882 meters (946 yards).



This is a white goat next to the cliff face at 58X magnification.  Unfortunately when it was hit it rolled down behind the trees to the left, so I didn't get a good after shot photo.



It was hit with a suppressed 308 Win and the 175 grain Lapua Scenar.

I've never seen a site go down as often as this .net.  It's pitiful.

Server Move and Outage Reports / Freak'in horrible 11-18-08

Every page I click on says "Cannot display page", click on anything and it takes 30 seconds to show that it cannot display.

Cannot even post to whine about it.
