LIVE from the saddle 2023

He must be thinking if that guy will climb a tree he must know something I don't! He's got a Booner cornered over there! I've never understood the mentality of wanting to be that close to another hunter.

So you can swap snacks at lunch time.

Bumped a few deer on a bench above a ravine. I set up here but it’s pretty thick.

Last rifle sit in '23. Couple more weekends of Muzzleloader/archery, of which I'll be gone for one. It all goes by too fast.

It’s mid afternoon and the rain got my cams thinking it’s bedtime. Not a particularly safe day to be live from an actual saddle but it’s also no day to stay out of the woods. Me and Barnetta James gunna get cozy in the ground blind and croon a deadly song at the first good doe who comes out.

Wow. Disgusted. Gunna lose half this deer. Last time I use my 338 Weatherby at less than 20 yards

Wow I've seen somethings but that might take the cake. Just in case you get a shot at a moose or brown bear?

Backstraps, loins, steaks and neck all look good though. From that picture it appears most of the damage is pretty much ribs and lower gut and maybe front shoulders.

Wow, velocity did a number on that one. You should be able to get the backstraps and hindquarters and tenderloins off it. I shot a doe one time at 90 yards with my 375 H&H Magnum with a 270 grain Remington core lokt soft point. Dropper her in her shadow and no more meat damage than a 30-06 would do. I've been tempted to shoot one with the 458 Lott, lol.

I mean WOW. Maybe a bazooka next time?

Nah you’ll lose some hamburger but I think your best cuts and most of the trim should still be fine.

Quartering too shot? I assume this is exit, what's the entrance side look like? Kinda wanna see what is looks like as you take the quarters off

Yes and that is the entrance. It blew her back right leg in half on exit

 

[NMSbowhunter]

What grain weight and make of bullet? What was the muzzle velocity? Just curious.

Now I need to see more pictures for sure

160 Barnes TTSX. 120gr of powder in the case. Should be around 3750 muzzle velocity

 

[NMSbowhunter]

Good tough bullet. Should have held together so that is probably just velocity! Wow!

Good for roughly 4500 lb./ft. of energy at the muzzle any bone you hit is going to be powder at 20 yards lol

 

[NMSbowhunter]

375 H&H Magnum, about 4200 foot pounds and a 270 grain cup and core lead bullet at 90 yards. Velocity was probably about 2500 fps at impact.
