Add to the story for us gun guys like ammo weight and brand and bullet.

I’m a shotgun and rimfire rifle guy.
Had to look at the box to answer your question!
95 grain Winchester power points.
Never enjoyed shooting centerfire rifles or handguns. Personally not much of a deer hunter unless I want some meat, but still would rather hunt and eat small game and birds.
I can talk shotshells and .22’s with a bit of knowledge lol.

That is a classic deer killing load. I like a 243 for deer. Never had o enmake it more than 6p yards and most flos up within 20" or less. Congrats once again. How did the evening hunt go. See anything?

squirrels are great practice


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Not a thing this evening. Went to our other property. Lots of sign and I’ve seen a bunch of does there the last couple weeks but nothing moved there tonight.
Lots more hunting opportunities coming for the little turd. I think he’s more excited about rabbit hunting behind the beagles this winter than deer hunting lol. He’s definitely a hunting dog man already.

I would agree that chasing rabbits with those beagles is way more fun than deer hunting!
