I've never really deer hunted in the sense of go out at 4:00 am and sit there freezing my bellybutton off waiting for a deer to walk up to my feeder so I can take a well aimed shot from a distance, and then drag the thing all the way back to the camp.  The way I was taught was to drive around with the heater on and the guns out the window.  The idea is basically to drive up on the deer and quick draw the sucker while he is still standing there deciding to run or not, then load the dead deer in the back of the truck and be home in time for lunch. When you hunt like this, all you need is an open sight 30-30

I don't think you'll freeze in Texas...  I mean, how cold can it get?

why not just run him over, the way ammo costs now it's cheaper to fix the truck :).

I've been distance shooting lately. Spent some time shooting at 400yrds with my TRG-42  (338 Lapua)  shooting sub 2" 5 shot groups
Also been shooting my Lazzeroni chambered in 7.82 Warbird at between 250/350yrds. Doing really well. Guess my 20/15 vision is still dead on.

Also been playing with my Paul Jaeger custom in .308. I haven't messed with the scope on that rifle in 10yrs and she is still dead balls on at 200  I'll shoot sub 1" groups with her and clover leafs at 100.  She is the living embodiment of a tack driver.

Really need to get some pistol time in but I'm having way to much fun ATM with my rifles

Sporting clays season is right around the corner.  Really looking forward to getting out and walking the course. 



Working a stressful job. I love the down time spent shooting.  It's me the gun and the target. WAY cheaper than professional stress reduction  therapy    :lol

It's always sporting clay season in Florida!



I've been shooting my Browning 725 32" sporting o/u, my browning white lightning 28" o/u at the sporting clay course, and my glock 27 and ruger security six at paper targets at the range. Although shooting paper targets is so incredibly boring to me now that I've been shooting moving targets for a while now.

not quite wisconsin cold, but cold enough to make me want to be inside.  We had an abnormally cold winter this year.  It stayed in the 20s for the better part of a month.

Over the winter mostly my S&W3953 9mm, P220, and Springfield MilSpec 1911. Until the safety broke and Springfield's outstanding customer service got it back to me in a few weeks. I love shooting 1911's, but I think my MP son is going to grab it from me when he comes home on leave. :frown:

Weathers turning nice so its about time to break out the long guns. I have a 5.56mm course coming up and maybe I'll burn some of that 7.62mmx39 I have laying around. It would be fun to take the Boomers out a few times this summer. What self respecting rifleman could be without a .338 or .375? :D

Oh and maybe its Cowboy time with the Vaquero. Gotta spin some Colt loads up.

 had my garand, nagant, and ar out last sunday. also, my springfield, and remington 1911's. will be taking the ar, and 10-22 out tomorrow.

Yeah Ive shot or owned many Mausers, all the American battle rifles and carbines, had a few IJA arisakas 6.5 and 7.7mm. But never two that I probably covet the most. And I could have bought them for nothing at one time. :cry
