    bullet proof deer! a long night with a bittersweet ending.

    its possible, seems counterintuitive given the velocity, however i could imagine the hollowpoint might get plugged up with hair and such more easily. Never had anything but impressive results from the .30 version but the 222 family from Fox is a bit new on the block. They first focussed on 6mm...

    Fox classic hunter. they certainly arent early design. They are very popular with professional stalkers in the UK.

    bullet proof deer! a long night with a bittersweet ending.

    i know softpoints. I moved away from them because these monolithics have performed better for me overall and while not illegal yet there is a strong push for lead free. And this is what i found upon disecting the injured leg. I almost think its buckshot? cant imagine a healthy deer just...

    haha what sun? not a good investment out here. A few companies use them to power their office but more as a "look at us being green" statement. Most of our electricity is made by burning stuff

    i wish him luck, Finland might be the most fortified place in europe. I could elaborate more if you find it interesting but after the last 2(3 but the ussr used q proxy in the first) wars we turned our natural layout into an artillery death trap. Also every man over the she of 18 is a trained...

    you seem to be more careful with them from what i have seen Here its often shoot on sight with the big bucks. Iam guilty as well, out here we feed our families with them mutch of the year. Our diet in winter is essentially game, frozen/smoked/dried fish and rice, barley or potatoes wich we...

    i have to say, reading this and other threads that you guys are way more on top of conservation. Could argue its a hunters paradise here but is it really? i have never seen a buck or moose with an antler like that in person here. They got more meat so they are often first to go. Gotta feed our...

    The EU lays down union wide guidelines and restrictions. The Cityboys in the EU have clasified the wolf as a strictly protected species based on total number and trend in union wide rise or decline of the species. This ofcourse doesnt take individual countries into account. Similarly a country...
