I seem to have searched high & low, hither & yon but I cannot find actual black powder anywhere! I don't mind mail-ordering GOEX from Powders inc. but I begrudge the $45 HAZMAT fee. I can't imagine using 20 or 30 pounds in the next couple of years that would warrant the fee & I don't know anyone I could split a case with. Can anyone help?!

Thanks Sorry can't do pictures, it's already at the processors. I can show you a spent .357 mag casing & the blood-pool in the back of the truck.....

I went to hunt my little 25 acre plot this morning. Got there a litte late & the sun was just starting to show. Anyway, as I'm driving up towards the wood a nice little spike comes walking out & presents me a perfect broadside shot at 120yds. I figured that between getting there late, the wind being directly from me to him & the rest of the herd being out in the middle of the neighboring field it'd be the only chance I'd get. I climbed out of the truck, rested my little Rossi .357 against the front door pillar, took aim & shot him. He didn't take a step. Fell over on the spot. Took the top clean off his heart & blew out both lungs. I drove over to him, tagged & loaded him in the truck & drove home. Total time elapsed from leaving home to getting back with the deer, 25 minutes. Now I feel like a total heel for having not 'hunted' for this deer, just shooting it. Anyone else ever had this happen?

Went down twards Tracy City yesterday. Sat in a clear-cut from 12 'til dark & didn't see a thing. Heard someone else having a pop, maybe a mile off & heard a buck chasing on the other side of a bluff, but he went the wrong way to give me a shot. Hardly even seen a deer so far this year ???

Shot my first ever deer last night with my muzzleloader! Sorry no pics, but she was a nice fat doe that dressed out at 136#

SHIVA'S SHEEP!!! :eek: It's a monster! Any further details (Where, how etc...)

I know it's a hardship, but if you're wanting a good stand, invest in a Summit Titan. It's a little spendy (although there are more 'spensive stands out there) but as a treestand neophite myself, I spent 6 months this year researching & trying out different options. The summit is by far the easiest to use, most comfortable,quiet climber out of every one I tried. If you're going to spend any time up a tree, a Summit would be money well spent.

Lots of diesel. Drive to Texas and have a fat old time of it hunting hogs & Javies! :D

Very nice collection Joker! My 5 would be, in no particular order of preference..... Taurus Judge in 45LC/.410 Remmy 870 Henry Big boy .44 Winchester Wildcat .22 After that, I'm on a 50/50 tie between the good old L1A1 SLR (In case I really need to reach out & touch somebody ) & a good .458 Express double (In case I find myself in 19th centurey East Africa)

Tims Ford wildlife refuge has thousands! No hunting allowed, so they're really quite tame

????? I don't get it? He's holding a severed deer head. What's wrong with that?

Thanks guys, lots of good info there.

I have a .357 Rossi carbine that I'm wanting to deer hunt with, but I'm unsure what I should use ammunition-wise? Due to it being a handgun caliber, it seems that just about everything available is hollow point & I don't know if that will be OK out to 75yds (Don't even know if this maybe stretching things a bit) I've been advised that the Hornady Leverevolution would be ideal, but they seem to be pretty much unobtainable! I know I'd be better off with a .243 or .270, but I'm on a tight budget & I don't know if rifle hunting is something I'll do more than once. I've bow hunted for 12 years, but gun-hunting larger game is totally new to me. Can anyone offer any advice to a complete novice?

The Winchester Wildcat's a fantastic little rifle, straight from the box. Very accurate & a great triger (although non-adjustable, mine was set perfectly out of the box.)

Didn't think the rut kicked off down here until mid to late November??? Everyone I've spoken to says that right around Thanksgiving is usually getting to peak rut.

Does anyone know of anyone that's producing an aftermarket stock for the Winchester Wildcat .22? I have one (my first gun!) & I love it to death, but the LOP is tiny (10-1/2" I think) & I find it a little 'cramped' I'd love to get hold of a new stock if possible.

Opening day was a blast! Beautiful sunshine (when it rose) up on Bear Hollow. Got to position & into my ghillie suit at around 5.30 am. Got winded by 2 nice does at 6.15 & shot clean under a small 6 point at 7.00. Then the people arrived Got busted by a Church group out for a ramble. Gotta love hunting public land!

People who lie about the condition of an outboard motor on Craigslist & force me to drive 5-1/2 hours for nothing. I wouldn't mind so much, but I spoke to the guy on the phone 5 times before I decided to go & look at his boat with 'perfect running motor' Got there & the damn thing needed at least a grand spending on it. BASTARD!

Slightly side-stepping, but not completely off topic; Anyone know how that rip-stop stuff is supposed to work? I've got a pair of ripstop pants for hunting & the first time I wore 'em, they ripped on a thorn. Seriously, how crap is that!
