If it's too slow for 7mm08, why are Hornady providing data for it (and showing it provides the highest potential velocity)? :ORLY: Burn rate charts are over-rated. Hornady have access to...

Since you lot turned me onto this powder (and made me buy some!), I thought I'd share this: 214687 214688 For anyone wondering, it's not a compressed load. Interesting to see that Hornady...

I haven't shot a heap of deer but for myself being that far from the car I would have only taken the spiker, only to keep pack weight manageable. It's always nice to choose what you want but...

You fulfilled your obligation to yourself, you shot two and recovered all the meat to fill your freezer.. As you have said, two was too much so next time, take one for the freezer. As Shearer stated...

Nothing wrong with that. You may find this interesting. I was talking to a old hunter recently and he said one of his regrets was not shooting younger stags more. He said the many scrubby 6 and 8...

In direct answer to your question, neither animal will make a future trophy so you can have a clean conscience for taking them. The spiker is late and will always be small even as a mature animal....

If you wish to participate more effectively in management for improved herd and habitat, it would be wise to shoot hinds instead. Shooting stags rather than hinds in areas with too many deer...

Second year hunting; shoot anything you can carry. Worry about being a grumpy old man once you’ve shoot 100! Honestly you did the right thing. There’s miles to many deer around, they’re better in...
