Checkin Cattle This Mornin. 14 Degrees AND!

[Dee]

This little 6 point mulie stepped out from behind a mesquite tree. Wasn't much of a challenge at about 100yds, but he'll eat good.

   Congrats, Dee..  Still looks like a nice buck ..also looks like good eating..

[Tommyt]

Congrats
That’s a fine eater

[Dee]

I guess most folks here wouldn't have shot that deer, but I've never been a horn hunter. And he'll fit nicely in the freezer.

Yeah, of course ya know they're not for huntin.

[Graybeard]

Nice, what bullet did ya use? Looks like it got the job done.

[Dee]

I've always ordered the Remington corelok bulk bullets in 55 grain soft points. And I use the same powder and charge that I've used since about 1977. Just a plain ole bullet at 3300fps. Its always worked, and I can load'em in my sleep.
I've never owned an AR that didn't like the load. That deer took my typical lung/heart shot and humped up, walked about 30' and gave up the ghost.

That bullet and that shot will usually exit on a whitetail, but it didn't on this bigger mulie. All the blood was out of his mouth. His lung were a mess when we gutted him out.

What was the distance?  What is the longest distance you have killed a deer with a 223?

[Lloyd Smale]

good job. No horn hunter here either. Id personally rather shoot does but doe permits havent been issued in the area our camps in for years.

[Dee]

What was the distance?  What is the longest distance you have killed a deer with a 223?

This one was between 100 to 120 yds. Longest  about 200yds on a whitetail.

Yeah, of course ya know they're not for huntin.

...And I bet you have no plans on going to any school with it..unless there is a bad guy there, doing bad things.

Ah, frozen toes but meat in the freezer. I'm jus glad it wasn't anywhere close to 14 degrees here last night.
