Hunting and shooting thread

[srb08]

I would like that short barrel setup with a thermal imager, nowhere to hide with that. For now I will happily settle for my 33lb, long barrel McMillan and 8 × 32 Burris.

I've got an armalite. I think mine is 36lbs. Millett 4.5x14 and a bipod.
I tried to shoot it off hand once. Pretty much an exercise in futility.

What you gentlemen know about the Beretta FX 4 storm?

 

[Magnumitis]

I know nothing on the PX 4 storm. Or the FNS 9 but I'm interested in the FN. XD's seem a bit busy to me, particularly compared to Glock. I like Sig handguns greatly but have yet to even see their 320 striker fired gun

I looked at several I looked at a Glock 19 the fx4 Sig l looked at a bunch the Beretta felt really good to me.

I haven't checked out the Beretta. I've got the xds for a carry gun. The FN are nice pistols and seem to be reliable from what a few people who own them said.

I dident see the FM but looked at a Walther pps handled the xd-m they felt good.

 

[mdavlee]

I do like the gen 4 Glock. They don't have that square grip feel of the older ones.

 

[rattler]

Me too I took a liking to the 19

 

[mdavlee]

They are nice. This time of year it's not bad to conceal one that size.

Taken near Osceola Ia on Saturday evening. What dreams are made of. Some say it may push the world record typical

In 9 correct? Your thoughts on the XDS 45? The only thing I wish for is nites

 

[mdavlee]

45 is what I've got. It could use night sites

I used to use some of my McKenzie medium and large, full size archery targets on the edges of fields...would definitely pull the does and young bucks out of the woods to come and investigate.

Cool. Did you use a doe bleat or anything.

 

[KenJax Tree]

Found this one two years ago in the same creek.

I've shot a few and when i found them i had to pull them out of a creek. Maybe the cold water stops the burning from the bullet?

Yeh, I 'd use a can bleat/doe bleats.

If horn hunting, would grunt as well when I'd stick the little 8-pointer antlers on their heads. Have had several occasions where little bucks would just plow the decoy in the ground trying to scrap with it.

Probably the most useful was keeping the antlers off, hitting the area with Tinks' bombs or film canisters with cotton balls soaked in Tink's 69 during the rut. The does and little bucks couldn't stand it. They'd come across wide open necks and areas of the fields to see what the hell was going on. Lol

Oh wow. Mabe i should give it a try.
Its not a full body. But might work.

If an old buck is wounded with a bad shot, they'll always either run to or eventually end up in or near water. If there's a beaver pond, swamp, etc on the property or nearby, that's where he's heading. I've seen it happen many times here. I found a big 10-pointer years ago that I took a running shot at through a small clearing...hit him high in the back, tracked him for a couple of hours. He did huge circles on the property, trailing blood everywhere as I was pushing him, and finally laid up in a beaver pond that was literally 150 yards from where I shot him.

Absolutely give it a try...
