Yey, He said when he hit the deer it flew 10 ft in the air, came down and hit his windshield,.Messed up his hood and took out the right side headlight. I told him he was one lucky man and that the last time I seen someone hit a deer the driver died on the spot. I had to take another route home becau...

Well I have got her done, It turned out to be about an 85lb doe. My son was traveling about 60 MPH and when he hit it he broke it's neck and both front legs. The funny thing is he called me and ask me if I wanted it and I told him yes, so he loaded it up in his trunk with another guy thinking the de...

Welcome, Just dust off that old shotgun, get you some slugs and go get Um. I don't know much about the laws up there, but if it's like where my brother lives in Iowa you can only hunt with shotguns and muzzle loaders. A shot gun with slugs would do just fine if deer is what you want. You can always ...

I'll be field dressing my first deer of the season tonite. My son just hit a doe coming home from work.

I have not seen it yet, but he said it looked like a 100lbs.and is in good shape. "Hey Meat is meat" Right!!!.

Tennessee Hayre

You got that right! I've checked out some of those sites over time and all it did was get me all worked up. Sounded like a bunch of kids talking.

I once held Gen Powell in high regards.(Not anymore) and not because of this election. while I was in the service because well, he was one of the Generals who helped plan our attack into Iraq and was very successfull ,as you all well know (Desert Storm). About 10 years ago I built an Iron fence for ...

Tennessee Hayre

Well I did not think this thread would go on as long as it has. Great discussion on (Bear Defense). Being a lower48er, I have gained alot from it and even got some good bear Pic's. I too like most would love to go back to Alaska someday. I was their in the 80's at the Black Rapids training center fo...

Tennessee Hayre

Great" Thanks 86er for the info. Just what I was looking for..

Tennessee Hayre

Hears my take on the shoulder shot. I would only take it when the animal is turned sideways because with a 540 grainer for example you can smash through the bone and cripple the animal and also take out the vitals. The animal cannot run into the brush and hide and in less then a min or so he dies. I...

Tennessee Hayre

I get out to the range at least once a month, I spend about 3 hrs each trip with at least two rifles each time. I put rounds on top of each other most of the time when I try hard, because I know my guns and ammo. I have just purchased a box of the 350's from Garrett and plan to get my new scope zero...

Tennessee Hayre

Thanks Leverluver, So, most likely "zero 3" high at 100 yards should give me about center mass (bullseye) at 150.

Tennessee Hayre

Does anybody know where I can find Info on the Garrett 350 grain Woodleigh ammo. I need to find out what the bullet drop is at 50 to 200 yards. I plan to zero at 100 yards. A Ballistics chart would be great.

Tennessee Hayre

I don't have the words!!!!!!!!

Tennessee Hayre

I have always agreed that a shoulder shot would be best. Just have never seen a bear that close in real life facing me and it just seems his head would be the biggest picture in my front sights. I guess every situation is different. Hope I never have to fight a bear on his or her terms.

Tennessee Hayre

How do you take out the shoulder when a bear is running toward you. Seems to me if he has his head down ears back Etc.. on a dead run. A head shot would be the right thing if just a few yards away. (Of course I have never shot a bear only deer) but as a hunter knowing that I only have a few seconds ...

Speaking of knifes. While I was in Berlin Germany in 1976 (First Duty Station) being a Combat Engineer we were digging up ground to build a range shack I found an old Hitler Youth knife. All was left was the blade and the part that holds the handle( So my squad leader told me). I had that blade for ...

Why is everyone dogging "Old Joe" Look I own a small business. "A Metal Fabrication Works" have done so for 13 years. So when I bid on and win a contract say from the state of Tennessee I need a license as the business owner and other things. if I have hired help (JOE THE WELDER)...

Great Post. One way or the other God always wins. After reading the story I put the TV on mute and prayed for McCain and Sara. I hope all who reads it does the same. Very powerfull statement.

Tennessee Hayre

I would agree. While calling the Army my home for 20 years, I worked in about every job and while working in Company Operations, Battalion Ops, and Brigade Ops I can tell you Stats ran the game. I seen how they were arranged to met the needs of the commander many times when submitting reports. I wou...

Tennessee Hayre

You got that right. I am the kind of guy who tries to cover all bases like most gun owners. If their is only 1% chance of being attached , Im going to carry. If I can't take a gun into a selected location for camping or such, I guess I won't be going. Just have to pick a place where I can have contr...

Tennessee Hayre

I was reading an article on a web site about bear defense in Alaska's parks and they said that out of 175 encounters Bear spray worked 92% of the time and guns only worked 60+% of the time. I guess that was their way of saying you don't need a gun while in bear country. I had to smile when I read th...

Tennessee Hayre

That made me laugh. Had to show it to the wife.

Tennessee Hayre

Thanks 20cows, Great pic's. I was born and raised in Laruel Country Kentucky on the Clay county line, and my moms family name was Benge. Her mother (My grand Ma) was half cherokee Indian. And her dad (My Grand Pa) Matt Benge was also part Cherokee. My 4th Great Grandfather on my Mom's side was known...

Tennessee Hayre

A picture can say a 1000 words. Great Pic's. One thing I have noticed is if you look at most of the pictures from the old days. (1800's to early 1900's) people just don't smile that much.

Tennessee Hayre

Sounds like an old soldier. When I was in the army most soldiers no matter what color learned to count on each other for everything. You were forced to grow up in the service. I seen alot of black soldiers who voted rep while serving.

Tennessee Hayre

This thread made me pull out my dads old leather wallet that i have had since 1990 , received after his death. I keep it in my safe. I could not remember his birthday and after reviewing his drivers license i saw he was borned in 1929. My mom had a picture of him that I use to look at when he was a ...

Hey Guys and Gals, HOBIE and others have it right. I told my wife last night (A born and raised Berlin Germany gun packing proud to be tennessee redneck ) after the debate I was fed up and will not vote this year. but she set me straight and said I may only be one vote but if I don't vote, I have no...

Tennessee Hayre

Well just like always McCain will not get any credit for what he has done tonite. My take on this has not changed. The Media will not let anything new be discussed that might give McCain an edge.The guy who picked the question and he had so they say over a 1000 to pick from let only the same old que...

Tennessee Hayre

One note, I think Alaska is also running a surplus!!!!

Tennessee Hayre

I would bet that there are some that find this forum while surfing the web and this thread and are laughing under their breath. They have not looked into the background of Obama. They also don't understand the damage that he can do while serving as the President with a majority Dem Senate and Congre...

Tennessee Hayre

John Kerry had a 7 point lead on Bush in the polls last time around leading up to the election(I think) and Bush beat him pretty good. But If the Dem's win this time around,,,GOD HELP US. First thing they will do is stuff the courts with young Lib Judges and America will change. Thats my biggest fear.

Tennessee Hayre

I agree. Great post!!

Tennessee Hayre

I am sorry, I am just sitting here with a smile on my face getting out all of my anger about the times we are in. Don't take it personal.

Tennessee Hayre

I respect ya , But Last time I looked TV is everywhere. No one can use the excuse that they did not know. or don't no. They just don't want to listen. As i said before Most American's now days want the easy life and love the Idea to take from those who have made it for them selfs so they don't have ...

Tennessee Hayre

Lets call it for what it is. Obama and the Left wing Dems, are haters of America.No doubt" No one can say different. He has laid it all on the table for all to see. If anyone can't see it then you are living in a world of denial. Plain and simple. Don't need any big words or such. They wants to...

This is what I'm talking about . Is this scary or what. This new youth is our future. as he said ( We ae the ones we have been waiting for) God help us.

I'm sorry , You all may kick me off this forum for the following comments, but last night I watched Hanady's special on FOX News about OBAMA'S..Past with Lewis Faracon, Obama and The terrorist as well as ACORN.

The Goverment live with-in it's means,, :lol: It will never happen. Like talking to a fence post.

I have been using it for my 45-70 and with open sights i was knocking the snot out of those clay skeet at 100 yards. For the 45-70 it is some of the best priced ammo you can buy for a good hunting round. Pretty good stuff I think.

We have come full circle. Even HITLER was smart...

I always look at the bright side of everything :lol: Hey if I plan on shooting tough stuff I'll just pull out the 540 grain hammerhead. I'll probley fire a round of the 350 weld core into some live timber and just see what happens. But I do believe they will be fine for what I need then for. I belie...
