Cool how the kids stay calm and we are so excited! (my son got a deer with a .223 this year as well but due to his choice of gun company he didnt get in on our tally.... Although he was smiling pretty good I dont think it bothered him too much.)

Saw your post over on the rimfire section. Since August 18th, I've taken 29 squirrels with my Sportster, using CCI SV ammo.
Here's a pic of the last one I shot about 2 weeks ago.

some earlier this summer.

The rest of the pics are in the rimfire section under squirrel hunting with the sportster.

Here is a link to the thread.

I hope you don't mind, I told my friend about the Handi success post, he doesn't have much time for computer forums, since he's a "bit" younger than I am and busy raising 3 girls. But he said it was okay to post on here for him. He got a four pointer, a doe, and a gorgeous looking fox vixen with a 20Ga Pardner.

My son scored a doe, and a buck with a 50Cal Sidekick.

We dont mind! Not every one knows we are here but it is fun to know our H&Rs are scoring for them. The more success the better I think. Thanks thejanitor

Haven't been able to hunt too much this season, but did manage to bag 2 squirrels with my 16 ga Pardner Modified choke barrel W/ 1 oz #6 shot. Traded for here on the forum and a 200 lb sow with my .22 mag (coverted) versa pak barrel w/40 gr JSP. One shot behind the ear and it was over. Bought the versa pak here on the forum as well. Love this Place. I just need to get out more often.

Draw a fine bead on em Son! Bobby

Here is a couple of pics of my son, from this fall using his .44 mag handi rifle and Hornady LE ammo.

His buck taken opening weekend of our firearms season.

His gator he took around Lake Okeechobee, over Christmas.

Wife told me we needed one more for the freezer. So I took my 44 mag and went out on our last day of the inagural Indiana antlerless rifle season and right at sunset took a small doe at 85 yards through the lungs. 265 gr Hornady FTX on top of some H110 did the job perfectly.

6 point
NEF 30.06
Chesterfield County, South Carolina

Hand loads 150 gr BTSP Sierra, 49.2gr Varget, Lee press

1st weekend in Oct 2012, the deer walked out and around to my left. Shot it through the spine as it was walking through the trees. Maybe 50 yards away. I was up in a hang on stand. I have killed deer every year for the past 3 years with this rifle.

Killed an 8 pt with my H&R 25-06 and another 8 point with an 18" inside spread with my H&R 35 Remington at 260 yards. Last one may have surprised me as much as the buck!

My son took his first deer ever this season a 3 point buck. Then followed that up with 2 does. All with his Handi 357 Mag.
On the last hunt we went on a friend loaned us a 223Rem Handi for Garrett to try, but he wanted to stick with his 357. Since we had the 223, I used it and killed a doe with it. I was amazed at how the 62 grain Fusion worked. I can see a 223 barrel in our future

My 10-year-old nephew, Juan Pablo Osorio from Bogota, Colombia, got a fallow buck that scored high Silver in Records of Exotics. He was using a Handi Rifle in .308. Shot was about 40 yards. We found blood and lung tissue at point of impact. Deer went about 80 yards and folded. JP tracked, helped drag out, helped load on truck, caped, and gutted his first buck. Was his third deer, having gotten a fallow doe at 8 years old. Also got a WT doe and a 300 pound sow at 9.
I have four H&R frames with 5 barrels. Have a 204 Ruger for the originally .308 frame. Both shoot well. Also have a 12 ga. Slug Master that shoots 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards. Have taken deer with it out to 120 yards. The other two are a 17 Mach II and 17HMR. The 17's work great for youngsters/first time shooters. The lack of recoil and low noise help. I have the same scope on the 17s as on the 308. I teach shooting with the 17's and then we hunt with the 308. Works great.
I like my H&Rs. They won't outshoot my bolt guns, but that's not the point. The do fine at 50 to 100 yards, which is what my kids shoot deer at.
