I was reluctant to post this for fear of getting FLAMED

Yes, now y'all know, 81police doesn't usually hunt with an 8 or 81, do y'all think less of me now?

Shot this buck with a 6.5 Grendel @ 180 yards, opening weekend here in Texas.

For all our members out there that hunt, please feel free to post your 2013 hunting successes here!

Cam, that's a super nice buck >>> Congrats. Dennis

Hey 81police,

That is really a nice buck. That is a good distance too. I have always preferred the long shots as you well know. Is there any chance of seeing your Dad's bobcat?

Hey Cameron,
That's a very nice buck. Congrats on a job well done there in Texas. By the way, I made a post on this thread last night which didn't post at all. I basically said the same thing. This has happened before but I just didn't say anything. It's probably just me or my machine. Anyways, you can sure be proud of that buck.
Thanks for your time,
Roger

Thank you all for the kind words, I'm very fortunate to have gotten this buck.

S and S HUNTCLUB, remember this is a hunting "victory" or "successes" thread, and in my book time with family is the real reward! I can't wait to see the S&S camp 2013! Hope your dad is able to make it out!

Hey jack1653, here's dad's two bobcats. He was hog hunting and ended up shooting these two toms in one weekend. He saw 6 bobcats that trip!! He's hunting with a Rem. 700 in 257 WBY Mag. Talk about a couple trophies!

Hey 81police,

Thanks for posting Kenny's bobcats. They are a couple of large cats and surely would make a couple of beautiful mounts. Is he going to mount them?

I was also wondering if he was shooting the custom ammunition that I gave him. That was the same ammunition that I used on the big hog that I shot when I hunting with you a couple years ago. If he should need some more, let me know and I will have Tom load some for him. If I recall, I left the load specs with Kenny. It really doesn't matter because Tom keeps a record on all special orders.

Regards,

Good start to the season, the 257 Roberts. dropped this forkhorn in his tracks this morning, 40 yard shot.
KAR 88 sporter made in 1894.

Sorry, didn't use a Rem ... nice 6 pt ... 4 0n one side 2 on the other. Dennis

I've been out a few times this fall and in September I hunted with a group of other disabled veterans in South Carolina and cleaned up with a nice 6 point buck, a mature doe & 3 hogs...all trophies. One was straight up Russian boar and another looked like it escaped farmer Brown's during the summer. I shot both black hogs less than 30 minutes apart and the 2nd one was sniffing the first one that I shot so they were in a neat little pile.


Big choppers!


Farm pig??


Now the first week of November I was invited back down to SC and took this nice 10 pointer the first morning out. I was put up overlooking a 700yd cotton field and right after sun up I watched a number of smaller bucks mill around until I saw this fella come out just shy of 400 yards diagonal from me. He decided to stroll towards me, but when he got to 215 yards away he decided it was time to head back to where he came from and that's when I took the shot. He ran at least 120 yards back across the field and 20 yards back into the woods where I found him stone dead. He is the biggest deer that I have ever shot and is pretty big for a Carolina deer.




Up until this point I shot everything with a rifle that I built with my own 2 hands, a Remington 700 .308 short action that I assembled from a bare action. She's a proven killer that is laser accurate. Well after I got my 10 pointer I was out for does and pigs so instead of lugging around that heavy rifle, I toted my svelte CZ 527M Carbine .223 that is a scant 6.5 pounds and is lethal out to 200 yards for my intended game.

This evening I was put up in a short ladder stand overlooking a narrow cut that has a small food plot and a feeder 106 yards directly in front of me. I wasn't up there not even an hour when I saw what looked like 8 pigs stuck together moving inside of a dust cloud. They were all perfect eating size, anywhere from 50-100 pound size and not in any hurry. They made their way to the feeder but because they were all stacked up on each other I couldn't take a shot because I would've gotten at least 1 more with a pass through that would've been more than likely a wounding shot. I ended up watching them for a few more minutes through the scope and when I got one that finally separated I took a quick shot. Once the dust settled from the chaos I had this nice little white & black porker making his last few kicks before going to piggie heaven.


The following morning that I shot porkie, I once again took my CZ with me hoping to put a nice doe in my freezer. It wasn't a few minutes past 8am when this beautiful 8 pointer came out just over 200 yards out and slowly made his way to within 45 yards right in front of me! I know that I could've put his lights out and as much as I wanted to shoot this guy, I didn't want to chance wounding and losing him because of emotion and not reason. He had a beautiful rack that was perfectly symmetrical and nice and tall. I'm going back down right after Thanksgiving, so maybe I'll see him again when I have my .308 with me.

cam i would have ran over that deer with my truck if i had to! that's a nice buck.

first off, congrats mattitude, job well done!! I'm very impressed, and especially as a fella who LOVES hog hunting more than anything, that Russian looking boar you got. VERY COOL! Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures

Here's an additional picture of my 8 point and a few hogs from October.

The first two are a pair of 130lb and 180lb boars. The last two is a 150lb sow and the largest hog I've ever killed, a 270lb boar. All were taken with the always impressive, 6.5 Grendel.

Gents,
I really support the hog hunting. They are Not what anyone would call natural wildlife.
Just be sure to carry a BIG 45 or 44 for emergencies. Please be careful.
Boars like that can have YOU for lunch.

+ 1 "Enjoy Life". Great photos and yep that`s a deer camp. Imfuncity will now have a visual when we mention "camp". I feel your pain with the cooking duties. I made the mistake of commenting how much I enjoyed cooking on my first trip to Colorado. Forgot that advice to be careful what you volunteer for. The getting up and doing breakfast was ok cause I`m usually up before everyone else so why not. Midday meal usually sandwiches and soup,but the evening meal was a killer.Tired from the days hunt I didn`t enjoy it one bit. The savior was the purchase of a big Dutch oven. If the ground allows it just dig a hole big enough to bury it. Fill bottom with hot coals or charcoal bricks, shovel more coals on top and cover it up with the soil from the hole digging. While you are hunting,your roast,chicken or ham and all the veggies are cooking away. When the hunt over you have the meal already prepared and ready. Dutch oven ...would not leave home without it. Would `ve been a little difficult this year with your deluge but keep it in mind for next season.Thanks for the great photos.

Bob,

Next year I can probably get a Browning 1919 belt-fed up there for you to use. It will give you more bullets than the POE rifle.

S and S HUNTCLUB, what a fun family trip! Those thick woods of Michigan sure are a far cry from the terrain we have down here in Texas. Despite the poor weather, seeing 24 deer is quite action packed! I'll bet the new son-in-law was thinking, "I married into a fun family!".

Memories with family, that's #1! Thanks for sharing.

Btw, that POE looks pretty mean!

LIKE!

Huh YuKnow weall need to start a DeerDynasty
