Shot My 3rd and Last Deer for the Year on the Weekend

[Bitumen]

All done shooting whitetail for this year. Had enough of the boiler room shots and ruining meat on the first two. So this time I gave it to her in the neck from about 100 yards using a .30-06 with 168 gr silver tips. She dropped right away like a sack of potatoes.

Well, there goes your ear lobe roast. I hope you're happy with just the loins and 4 quarters!

Good to see you were still able to salvage the tongue!

Not my idea of a shot to brag about.

Why not? You jealous or something?

 

[Bitumen]

You want the tongue?!?

 

[Bitumen]

Back straps are the best......in particular the inside ones.

Doesn't sound like from his description that any of the shots are to brag about this year. We all have off seasons. I am getting antsy since in just over a week it is deer camp time. Debating the Savage 111 in 30-06 or the .303.

Ah well, not like it matters, both will take bambi down and I know we would like to get 3 or more deer during camp.

Funny how you shoot the first two in the boiler room/guts and then attempt to shoot at an even smaller target.

Congrats on the full freezer... seems like a bit more practice is needed at the range... and maybe a kick in the a$$ for bragging.

I guess it is an OK shot , personally I would have way more neck meat to salvage from a lot farther too!!

First, what is "funny?"

Secondly, none of the 3 deer I shot this year were shot in the guts. Two were shot in the lungs and the third in the neck.

What do I need more practice at the range for? I have fired 3 shots while hunting this year and I have 3 deer in the freezer. Does that sound like someone who needs more range time? Think about it.

Yeah, whatever.

last time i checked boiler room is a great shot. congrats on the head/neck shot as well. congrats man. im still on the hunt for my first

 

[regulate34]

also if you are loosing lots of meat on rib cage shots i would look for a diffrent bullet

 

[Bitumen]

It's funny you know, no matter what kill shot you make, someone has to complain about it. It's either wrong placement, too far, too close, too big a bullet, too small a bullet, wrong bullet type, too big a gun, too small a gun, not enough range time, too much range time, bullet too fast, bullet too slow, blah, blah, blah. I'm fed up with it. Like I said, "3 shots fired this year, 3 deer dead!" Get a grip!
