    I should have known this. You can hop in a helicopter, wrapped in the American flag, using that as a parachute, as you shoot a critter with a minigun.

Got one tag left and 27 days to fill it. 

Can't hunt with a 30 round magazine? What round do you hunt with? I've got a S&W Sport II 5.56, but that is my post-alarm system rather than a hunting rifle. Maybe one of these days I'll go hunting. Amazing catch and congratulations. I like your hunting updates. I've bagged a handful of groundhogs over the summer but merely because they were a pest and were digging under the foundation of my shed. Did not eat them.

    Did you scare her to death? Looks unharmed.

    Interestingly, here in Finland a 223 does not kill whitetail. It has to be at least 243.

    I don´t know why I have not hunted much lately. Just did not feel like it.

    The 5.56 or .223 are quite capable of taking whitetail. It all comes down to shot placement and the type of bullet you use. 
    Nothing survives this heart shot with a 5.56.

    I’ve taken a lot of deer and hogs with 5.56 but  the deer in my post was taken with a 6.5 Grendel. It’s a great deer cartridge to use in the AR platform.

    Yes I can hunt with any size magazine I want. We still have our freedom here in Texas. I just choose to use a ten round mag. The big magazines just get in the way. 
    As I said in the previous post this particular gun is a 6.5 Grendel. It’s shooting a 123 gn Hornady ELDM bullet. I have both factory and hand loads. 
    When I use my 5.56 I’m feeding it a soft nose bullet in anywhere from 62 to 77 grains. I have a fast twist barrel and it does well at stabilizing the heavier bullets and the get good penetration and fast kills.

    I don´t have a 6.5 but I reload for 14 calibers, 22-250 to 470 NE. I have also been casting bullets (mostly for larger,slower calibers) since the 90´s.

    Absolutely true but man, it’s expensive. 
     

    Hog hunting as we speak.

    As soon as we got constitutional carry here in Ohio, that is when I got one. A Glock 42 for IWB carry, and a little Walther PPK for the fun. 

    A Glock 27 for my everyday carry and a Ruger LCP for when the Glock is too big. 
    My bride carries a Ruger LC9.

    • "World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!

      Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following... 1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt. 2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs.  3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy.  In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage hoe you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice. IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based.  We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk.  Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.
