    Manged another one to the 243!

    Managed another nice yearling bushstalking in DOC today. One of my best shots i recken, freestanding neckshot at 90 m. Spooked a hind and the yearling but yelling out as they were departing over the top of the next ridge stopped the yearling in its tracks and though a very small gap pulled off one of my better shots so another good day!

    Spectacular. Well done.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    243. A terrible calibre for deer.

    Terrible for the deer that is, good work!

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    High calibers in the bush for the rambos, low calibers for the skilled is how I see it < I await the onslaught of abuse.

    That is why I use a .17 air rifle on elephants Rusky. It is all about shot placement. Ha ha ha ha
