It's that time of year. Let's see those kills.

[Rube Shooter]

Shot this big pig last running by himself last Saturday afternoon, 25-06 115gr ballistic tip. I'm guessing 175-200lbs. I had no deer show up for the morning hunt and that evening so I was ready to pull the trigger on something. He strolled out of the trees next to one of my feeders and I dropped him at 150yds with 1 shot to left shoulder. biggest pig for me this season, most have been 50-70lbs.

I was out clearing some cedars today and dropped this big ole boy. One shot with a mild 77TMK @ 2500 rolled him off a bluff, and 4 more to anchor him. Probably ~230-250 if I had to guess. I don't kill many things, so I'm not good at guestimating weight. He was hard to move, and I'm 6'4" 220lbs.

I would let any other animal go to have a crack at that guy

9 pt yesterday morning. Double lung shot at 230 yards. 190 lbs. matches the 8 pt. I took before Thanksgiving. Two bucks in Georgia and that’s The limit on bucks.

This was a 260AI in a “homemade” Savage-auctioned using Sierra 130 tipped Game Changer’s. Took 8 pt using 270.

Wife and I made it out for some more predator control this weekend. We had a slow day with little action except for one stand. We called in a double and managed to get them both.

So true. Making 3 kinds of venison brats tomorrow. Our county gets ripped off - no holiday hunt, but I do have two seasons left in Illinois yet. Then if course can't forget the food plot plantings. Keeps a retired guy humping

I still have another weekend to go! This past Sat I had a meat doe stop in front of me:

On Sunday this little buck went running by a little too close & caught one:


After doing deer drives all weekend I needed a break so I sat in the tree-stand on Monday when this yote stopped at the fence near my stand & committed suicide:


The deer were taken during drives (I'm a designated driver). All shots were under 50 yards with my little Ruger 77/44. Load is 240 gr XTPs over 15 grains of Blue Dot, Starline brass & WW primers.

You might want to par-boil that one on the railing. Looks like it might be a little tough.

Good bullet placement for DRT. Move it back to the heart/lung area and you track 50 yards near all the time. The little bit of meat you lose with that shot is not important compared the to the delight of seeing it go down and stay down.

Funny you bring that subject up, especially in my case on this deer. I have acreage and I hunt about 40 yards from the neighbors fence line. The deer always come from his side over to mine and back. This buck was moving fairly quick behind a doe toward his fence line. In that case I had no choice but to hit him on the shoulder. I actually aimed higher but he was moving thru an area that was full of humps and holes so guessing he was headed into one of those low holes when I shot. It did the job but the high shoulder shot does it Everytime.
