Atlaw, can you legally shoot that many deer each year to give ALL those calibers a test this year?

AtlLaw · « **Reply #63 on:** September 20, 2009, 10:08:37 AM »

Why HECK YES!

With at least one spot on the license to spare!

Many more if you hunt Wildlife Mgmt Areas (WMA's). Those kills don't count against your limit!

jeez! Am I the only person ever used a .410 to kill a deer or just the only 1 to admit it?

If you can remember all the calibers or guages, what have you used? The thread on what, where, etc. made me think of this question. What do you have to say?

Easy: Ford F 150

. Hoping to do it with a 6mm Remington and 95 gr. SST bullets this year.

Right off the top of my head, MOST of the deer i've harvested, i used 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 30, .338 and 44 calibers, in various cartridges of one kind or another...

.410, 223, 357, 303, 30-30, 243, but most have been taken with a 50 cal muzzleloader.

For me with reloaders scourge (get a rifle shooting great with reloads and selling it for the challenge of working up loads for something else) I have shot deer with few calibers but quite a few rifles. Also recurve and compounds. 30-30 1, 30-06 4, 308 2, 7m-08 3, 7mm 1, 280 1, muzzleloader 1 and TC in 7-30 Waters 1. And 2 with my hunting knife. NOT MINE but a neighbors and a hunting buddies that made poor shots and the deer were finished off after dark when we cannot have guns.

Stevens 200 .223 Rem
Hornady 55gr SP
75yard double lung shot, hit a rib and still exited

I am a firm believer that the .223 is fine for whitetails, granted that you follow some basic rules. Under 100 yards, expanding bullets, good shot placement.

elmer · « **Reply #75 on:** October 31, 2009, 01:19:55 PM »

Easy for me.

Remington 742 30-06, Savage 116 30-06, and Savage 14 7mm-08.

.270 win ,20 ga., arrow, 1 with a muzzloader. Atlaw, are you hunting the big whitetails or the small ones. I hear Gawja has big ones planted from Wisconsin and natives that are a lot smaller. I was in Crawfordville Georgia once to visit the wifes uncle and he had big bucks there.

Cuts Crooked · « **Reply #79 on:** November 01, 2009, 03:05:25 PM »

.45, .50, .54, .357, and 30-30

I guess it depends on where in Jawja you go. $:-\$ We got half a dozen different rut periods throughout the state and it has been said that it is because of the different locals that deer were stocked from; Wisconsin being one of them. I dunno. All I can say for sure is that where I hunt an average doe runs 65 lbs field dressed, a large buck about 125.

here are 3 from opening day. Mines a pretty good deer for the area and the others are average.

BTW, add the 38-55 and 45 Colt to my list of calibers used!

AtlLaw · « **Reply #81 on:** November 01, 2009, 04:09:13 PM »

Here's the 45 Colt kill. A nice 6 pt for the area.

Wyo. Coyote Hunter · « **Reply #82 on:** November 02, 2009, 03:03:16 AM »

;)Atlaw, congradulations... We are leaving to day for a whitetail and turkey hunt. Home you get a couple more......

Hey Atlaw, I saw you in one of your avatar with a suit and tie. Just dawned on me you are a big shot lawyer that still has a wild side in you right. I get it now, I thought atlaw was slang for outlaw but your handle means Atlanta LAW right ? Kind of like the show LA. Law. I get it now.

Hey Atllaw, get ya a 92 in that chambering and you can shoot sum full grown deer with it!

Didn't use mine last year, but it will handle sum pretty stout hand loads, unlike the toggle link gunz.

BTW, a doe I took last winter was over 200 lbs.......skinned and gutted!!!
