There is a thread in the vendor section i think that details Joe's dealings with Spikes. They royally screwed him. Read the thread and you may change your mind on how you feel about Spikes as a company.

Have killed deer in the past with two different hanguns. The first was with a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter in 44mag. I have also taken a doe with my 45acp Kimber 1911. This summer I had my Kimber fitted with a 400 Corbon barrel. That is what I will be carrying in the woods with me come gun season.

Well said Canynracer!

I do not discriminate...I love pancakes, waffles and french toast. Of course you have to have sausage and bacon with them.

What a generous offer. Wish I was a little closer.

I feel for ya oldguy. The deer population in middle tn has gone crazy. I just check the twra regs and I was a little off on the number of anterless deer you can take. With a Sportsman license or a regular big game license and a type 94 permit, you can take 315 anterless deer in Unit L (middle tn). ding, ding ding...We have a winner. Personally I think this response sums it best so far.

That is the way I was raised also. Don't shoot something if you are not going to use it. I have been tempted but have never done it. I assumed most everybody would have this opinion but still wanted to hear what others had to say.

My hunting buddy and I have been discussing this for awhile. I am interested in yalls opinion. I know this will not apply everywhere but it does to middle Tennessee. The problem: We are over populated with deer. TWRA gives us very liberal limits when it comes to does. Last time I figured it up it was well over 100 does you could take during the season. I can't begin to count the number of does I have let walk because I didn't want to fool with processing the deer myself or pay somebody else to do it. So here is the question: Do you think is is ok to shoot a doe and only take the backstraps and tenderloins? In this scenario the rest of the deer would go to waste. It is pretty easy to pull the skin back and get the backstraps out. What takes so much time is boning the rest of the meat out. It is very tedious to bone out the different cuts, remove all the connective tissue and silver skin etc... So what do you all think? We need to reduce the number of does but should you or I kill more does if we are not going to use the whole deer?

My current favorite is my Marlin 1895 in 45-70 with the barrel cut down to 16 inches. It has a Leupold 2x scope mounted up front. Very fast target acquisition. It is a sweet little thumper!

That is pretty good advice above. Can not go wrong with any of the above rounds.

I used to have a 454 barrel for my T/C Encore. It was a custom made 20" barrel by Virgin Valley. With that set up it was a great little woods carbine. Never have shot the 454 out of a pistol. With the 20" barrel I felt confident out to 150 yards. I have had Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunters in 44mag and 480 ruger. I never felt comfortable shooting over 100yards with a 7.5" barrel.

Johnny came home and said Dad, Dad, look at my new bike. Dad asked johnny where he had gotten the new bike. Johnny said he got for sleeping with his teacher. Well Johnnys dad couldn't help but feel a little proud of his son. He tells johnny to go out and ride his new bike. Johnny says I will later, my butt is still sore.

Used to have a t-shirt that said: Cats...the other white meat Cat lovers have no sense of humor. Had more than one stranger come up to me to let me know how horrible my shirt was. They would get so riled up...it was great.

If that is all you have, it definitely better than nothing. We are also talking about black bears, not grizzlies. While they can be dangerous, most black bears will give you a wide berth.

Had a good friend whos father passed. These friends are good friends with Vince and Amy. Vince came to the funeral service and sang it a cappella. It was very moving and powerful.

A tip a friend gave me that works pretty well is to use a camcorder. A lot of camcoders have digital zooms out past 200x. I set up an older sony camcorder on a tripod and could see targets at 200 yards with no problem.

Nice pics and vids. What trail cam were these taken with? How does it know whether to take a pic of make a video? Thanks

I am kinda partial to Kahrs as my carry gun. Kinda boring but works for me.
