Joyce Ooten, 60, used her bow to shoot this 19 point buck over the weekend. Ooten shot the big game on her property, the Refuge Road Archery Range. Ooten says she and her husband, Donnie, have had a friendly rivalry for some time over who will kill the bigger deer. Now, she says she s ahead. He d been telling me if you re going to get that deer, you had better get down there and hunt it. I like to hunt in the afternoon, not much on mornings, and he said you better go down there and get it or I m going to get him. I beat him to it, Ooten says. Ooten says she will mount the deer on her wall. We re still waiting to hear back from Texas Parks and Wildlife to see if this kill breaks any records.

I think this was taken in Colorado.

They were originally shot out after the civil war but were reintroduced by Teddy Roosevelt s administration, with the first Rocky Mountain elk arriving in 1913. Starting in 2001 an elk hunting lottery alloted 30 or so tags. I think the first year there were over 50,000 applications. These came from around Benzette, PA, right in the original elk s range. Funny how the repopulated elk settled in the same spot.

Looks like it might be a little dated, but still a great deer. It s not officially measured yet, but it looks certain that a buck deer taken by Florida archer Scott Fowler at the Poosey Conservation Area on September 18 will become the largest typical whitetail ever recorded in Livingston County. The big buck is definitely the earliest legal buck of this size ever for Missouri, whose archery season opened on September 15 this year for the first time. The archery deer opening date had been October 1 for many years. Fowler, despite residing in Pensacola, Florida, is not a newcomer to hunting at Poosey. He s been coming here every year since 1996 when he was working as a union electrician on the Ameristar Casino in Kansas City and used his spare time scouting out a place to bowhunt. He s been coming to Poosey regularly on scouting trips and to hunt ever since. This huge buck is the fifth buck he s taken here in that length of time and four of the previous d...

I did several years of research into long range knockdown power, trajectory, ease of getting rounds i.e. number of mfgrs and number of loads available , bullet construction including ballistic coefficient , and weight range before buying a rifle several years ago. Even called some of the manufacturers themselves. Like Duckwacker said early in the thread I got a 7mm Remington Mag and never looked back. It has the best combination of flat trajectory, ease of ammunition purchase, widest range of bullet weights in the whitetail to elk class available, and downrange performance. The pics below from Federal s website show what I m trying to illustrate between say a .270 and 7mm with 140 grain bullets from the same manufacturer they also demonstrate how fine a line we re talking about here .

Great gun, especially for the price. My Sendero is the most accurate out of the box gun I ve ever owned at well under 1 groups with factory ammunition. Don t skimp here or on the optics you get what you pay for. A good rifle scope combination, if taken care of, will last you for decades. You re also going to find that there are a wide number of opinions here on caliber selections. I ll try to be as unbiased as I can The .270 definitely has its merits its realtively flat shooting up to 130 grains, ammunition is easy to find, and it doesn t kick nearly as hard as a .30 06. The .30 06 is a great round too, not anywhere as flat as the .270, but you can take just about any game animal in the U.S. with it except big bears . It has a wide bullet weight range of 150 to 180 grain some load a round nose 200 grain too . The .30 06 I owned was a tack driver but it also had a pretty good kick to it. Frankly, if you re going to think in the .270...

Your question though is a good one, and among hunters is a pretty subjective topic. The answers you get will depend on the hunting situation, the range, to some degree your skill, the rifle you re using, and often just a hunter s preference. Many hunters when they re hunting doe will shoot them in the neck to ruin as little meat as possible. Sometimes a neck shot is the only one you have, especially if you re still hunting in heavy cover or rattling. Most of the neck shooters I know are good shots that practice a lot, and several of those will limit their effective range to suit what they feel is their level of competentcy. Some hunters will neck shoot when using small caliber rifles like a .220 Swift, .223, .22 250 or even a .243. I sure don t recommend that, but I know several good hunters that do. I ve always been a heart lungs shooter. Its a quick, humane ki...
