I’ve killed deer after shooting from the same stand more times than I can remember. One of the most memorable is shooting a coyote, doe and 11 point from the same tree within 35-40 minutes of each other one morning. Rifle blasts don’t pressure deer, and in most cases don’t even spook them. Human presence is what they don’t like. If you shoot and miss, or shoot a doe or coyote, and want to keep sitting, just stay put. You’ll still see deer.

Are you looking for a lighter recoiling rifle or a smaller caliber? A 7-08 is is the former but not the latter.

Ive worked my end off getting it to where i can see 12-15 in a field at a time. Id get pretty ill if somebody shot one of my nannies. Theres about a hundred spikes and four points running around here if a fella need some meat.

Responding to your second post: the deer im feeding and watching are healthy. They are somewhat spoiled i guess. Several big ole does, big as a two year old buck.

I shot a 190lb buck 2 years ago 115 yards away, , buck dropped in its track. Used Rugar american and Hornady Black 250 grain. I love that round!

Is this the gun i hunted with? If so...that sucker is noice👍👍👍🇺🇸

Sure they are 7x27 and not 7x30?

Bump

Anyone here hunt Mullberry? How pressured is the power line that runs through it? I have a lease adjacent to the eastern side and i see hunters but was surprised at how little I see compared to other public land. That whole area is pretty “rough” country though.

Thanks Matt

Yep, the yotes took a little nibble off his butt end

I never get it bow or gun hunting. Calm as a stone cold killer. Now turkeys are a different thing altogether....

Spanish Fort but will travel up to one hour to meet for the right deal.
