heres a funny one for you.we were on large lease and spotted a flock of turkeys way across a canyon.this was west tex. so brush was minimal & we could see a long way .my brother was shooting a highdollar custom 243. i was using a rem. 700 adl in 243 with my handloads.bought it used for 225$ i guess we were about 350 yds.we sat on ground & started blazing away.it's crazy but the turkeys did'nt see us & just kept milling around. we shot the rifles empty & loaded add. rounds from our pockets.we were taking careful shots & still turkeys milling around. walked back to truck & got more ammo, came back , sat down & started up again.my 243 would do 3/4 in. at a hundred but my brothers 1700$ just had to outshoot mine [in his opinion] finally after holding about 12 in. over the head i saw one jump & figured a hit. they flew & we walked over but could'nt find bird. our buddy took his brittany over & found the dead bird.i had to rub my brother about his high dollar custom not outshooting my generic 243. since then i advise newbies to buy a rem. 700 unless they want a status gun.if they want to impress i tell them to buy a sako.

Well last friday I went on a Hunt here on the Eastern shore in MD. I was hunting deer and it was Muzzleloader (does only) and I took my bow along JIC. At about 4:45 I spotted a nice 100 pound doe and gave her 295 grains of power belt and she ran right toward the damned bay. She died in 9 to 10ft tall bullrushes about 5 feet from the bay and I let her lay. about a half hour later overlooking the field the deer really started to come out. Within 45 minutes of that first doe I had another 30+ deer all circuling the field (I was hunting a hedge row).
Out of nowhere this 8pt buck busts up the party and starts running the doe all over hell and gone and I grab my bow. He luckily ran the edge of the field and I grunted. He stopped about 25 yards in front of me and I hit him right behind the front shoulder. He turned....ran about 100 yards and died accross the field just inside of the tree line. I tracked the blood trail even though I didnt need too and carried my bow with me. When I found him more doe were coming out into the field. I could have shot them too if I had wanted too as one came within 30 yards as I was field dressing the buck just inside the woods. After I got him out into the field I went and retrieved the doe with the help of a friend.
Two deer with two different weapons within less than an hour. I have shot 2 deer with rifle and shotgun (buck and a doe also) before but never with two different weapons. Was a real treat for me and something I'll never forget.
