I’m half tempted to try the Speer 130 grain varmint bullets. I think they may slow enough to not be splody.

110 Amax work well too.
I've got some of the 135gr Sierra varmiters to try, just haven't gotten around to loading any. Though I've heard they sometimes cause feeding issues. If they do, I can download them and try them in my 30-30 Contender

Set up my cam to get pics of critter visiting the gut pile of the deer I shot. I gutted it next to my camper so I could use the lights. The deer and coyote are within spitting distance of my camper

Been doing a bunch of hunting lately. With others and my own. Too much to describe. Other than Ernie came down and helped me host/teach/guide for a TP&W Handgun Hunting 101 course which included hunting & shooting for the students. Then we did some night hunting ourselves for pigs and predators. Along with my own predator control and pig killing. So, here is a photo montage of the past few weeks.

Looks like Ernie’s been working out
, no pig cart needed.
Did everyone bring their own handguns?

Sitka gear ran a photo contest, the moose, dog, and bear pictures really stood out for me:

Friend’s first Specialty Pistol buck!! A cull with my TC Contender and MGM 7T .223 Remington barrel launching 80gr A-Max bullets. About 100 yard shot. Well done.

Ha! We are being aggressive in the management this year. Have to get the numbers down and be real selective on what bucks we want in the general pool. With all the feed we’ve provided, this buck didn’t kick out brows. You are the weakest link…….goodbye.

Another Management Buck
7.5 yr old 10pt (before breakages).
TC Contender
.223 Rem MGM 7T Barrel
Vortex 2-7 Scout Scope
80gr A-Max
100ish yrd shot
30-40yrd run
Just behind the aortic arch, dang it! But, saved the heart.
He was injured and heading down hill. The herd needed to be managed and he’d been a good buck for years. It was time for him to feed instead of breed.

Managing the herd. 3.5yr old 9pt buck who lost an eye last week in a fight. He didn’t meet the standards for a buck and we need to keep the numbers down, but considered giving him another year to see. Then, he lost the eye and I decided to just let him go. If for his sake alone.
