my South Texas hunting pictures

[Samr]

These were taken Sunday evening and Monday morning, with a .243 rifle in South Texas (Maverick county). The first picture (just the horns) is a non-typical 10-pointer, the second is about the biggest spread I have ever seen on an 8-pointer.

*see below, second picture*
-taken at a bit under 100 yards, out of a blind

*see below, first picture*
-taken at 200 yards, off the hood of a truck. My rifle was zero-ed in at 60 yards. 21-inch spread, and the G2's (those big'n horns at the back) are 13 and 12 inches.

Samr, the thumbnails are really small, you have a link to the larger pics?

From what I can see, looks like you have two nice wall hangers.

You don't eat meat then right?

Normally I see people hunting dead rotting flesh all day at the grocery store. Nicely cut and put into a styrofoam tray with plastic wrapper.


Deer in Texas are managed by the state. They are overpopulated right now. There is nothing wrong with hunting white tail. The fuckers are everywhere.. not just in Texas.

COOL!!!!


I wish i could go hunting.

They are Obi, one of my running buddies made a mess of them with his neighbor and brought some by the house. They had some straight venison and had some that were 50/50 deer/hog mix. And they weren't the skinny pin joint sized ones that have more masa then meat either. And enough lard mixed in so that you need to double up on the paper plates as well.

why was the gun in his reach?

my dad allways/still does lock up the guns. and besides we were taught that the guns were only for hunting.

i still remember what he said.

" Mija these are only for hunting not for anything else ,do you understand me?"

Maybe he was hunting my sister?

[ShoogarBear]

That's because you are the lil bitch who is being hunted.OMG, I apologize Sequ, but that made me bust out.

[ObiwanGinobili]

my nephew has taken a gun safety course and only gets his hands on rifles when hunting or practice shooting. they are locked in a case at my uncle's shop.
Also - they do alot of bow hunting so it's not all guns.

It's just my opinion, but.....I would not trust a 4 year old with a gun in his hands.

[ObiwanGinobili]

well your entitled

Sorry to hear that. Yea under state law they have to be locked up if kids are around. But that can kinda suck if a bad guy is trying to break in and your fumbling with lock or he's fighting melee with your and your like "wheres my key". Digital keypad like mossberg safe is best for kiddy environment.

Teaching kids early about firearms safety is also a good habit. Later you never know when a kid will "hey let's play with daddy revolver". Teach your kids in advance to get away and tell and adult if another kid is "playing" with a gun.

I love every part of hunting. I love the experience of sitting in a blind, in the freezing ass cold, trying to make as little noise as humanly possible. I like watching a big buck come in to the feeder from a distance, and the feeling you get as you count his points and realize he is bigger than expected. I love how your whole body shakes as you stick the gun out of the blind, and steady yourself in the seat. I love how the scope falls down onto the animal, the crosshairs flying a shaky pattern as they try to zero in right behind the shoulder. I love the understanding that, as you take the safety off, one squeeze of the trigger is all that seperates you from the animal. And I love the way the gun recoils into your shoulder as your entire focus changes to that of an observer- you watch the buck jump in the air, then stumble to his final resting place. I love the feeling of a job well done.

Also, I love the feeling of finding this little fucker on the ground at the end of my hunt:

Like I said before, I shot him at 200 yards on an uphill slant, with a rifle that was sighted in at 60. For some prospective, this bullet dropped about 4-6 inches from where I was aiming, which was higher than normal to compensate for the drop. All of this with a .243 rifle, which is about as small as you can get and still have a humane level of killing power. I love the .243 because the small bore (size of bullet, basically) requires that you place your shot carefully, and don't simply rely on massive internal damage from a large load to drop the animal.

If anyone wants to argue how humane it is, consider that the animal lived maybe 5 more seconds after the shot, and that he only made it less than half a football field before he went down. It is about as instantaneous a as you can get without a contact shot. And for anyone who argues that it isn't a sport, well, just re-read the paragraphs above.
