    Spring has Sprung

    Warming weather and greening grass, means spring has sprung around here. Also, means the fallow does are about to drop and last years yearling's are the perfect eating size. A productive mornings walk ended up with these two tasty freezer fillers. The little CZ .223 with a 55gn gameking load performed perfectly.

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Don't know, never shot a Roe - but yearling fallow is the best venison I've eaten, and they make the carry out easy.

    They will be good eating for sure.
    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

    Nice. Which of the two 55gr game kings do you use, the SP or the HP?
    More meplat, more better.

    @tanqueray ,Just the standard SP gameking. OSA sell it as factory ammo over here, you can get it in 900rd bulk cans for about $650, it shoots as good as my reloads and is probably just as cheap. As a result I don't reload for my .223 anymore

    They would be nice skins to tan as well. I haven't tanned a skin in a long time but might get back into it.
