Jasmine Crockett.

Maybe she'll be the woman that the Democrats hoped that Kamala Harris would be. Look her up.

 

 

 

We'll see.... floating voters have to be convinced to go against the grain and vote for a black woman. She does have some of the aggression needed to succeed though

Much of a muchness Elmer I think you will find

Possibly, but it shows that you know nothing about deer control apart from a quick troll across the Internet to find something to confirm your bias. You bring nothing, and when confronted by facts that contradict you all you do is divert in one way or another because you've been rumbled.

I too have some experience of deer, Get a chest shot wrong by 2" and you will not be tracking it far, 50 yds or so, nothing an average dog couldn't find in heavy cover in under a minute. Get a Head shot wrong by 2" and the results are horrific. You will never track it and live in the knowledge it took a week to die. Why be clever? Just not worth it.

100% correct and pretty much my view. Strange how when you point out the anatomy of a white tail is pretty much the same as any of our native species it’s apparently a sign I know nothing of deer control 🤷‍♂️🤔. I’m not sure if I was confronted by any actual facts neither, just someone boasting about long range shots and cloverleaf groups when running home loads, nothing factual at all in reality. 
Next time I’m out I’ll stick to the safe option and leave the head/ear shots for those who apparently have the shooting prowess required. 
Wrong thread as well, those who want to boast about their shooting should maybe pop over to “ show us your guns”. 
Very surprised the site auditor hasn’t jumped in on the latter point, seeing as he’s watching my posts and timings and has a history of accusing people of “ diverting a thread “ could it be there’s some double standards on here 😂very much dependant on your political views.

Same radical loonies who want to do this:

 

Giuliani, Trumps lawyer who took the hit over the voting machines getting the Medal of Freedom

 

 

UK.YAHOO.COM

Past recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom have included Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Mother Teresa

 

all within the realms of possibility given that Giuliani has also been taken to court for sexual misconduct. Great minds think alike and all that.....

 

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

Noelle Dunphy filed transcripts in court of former NYC mayor allegedly making sexually explicit and anti-semitic remarks

Shouldn't be shooting, full F stop!

It's a heart shot not chest shot!

2" low and you will have a runner that will go a long distance 2" to the rear the same! 2"....2" how far away are you shooting?

Or you miss way over the top! 

 

Now lets talk about reds, a bit different to roe, or muntjac (never shot one but hold on!), etc. Big heads small heads?

So does the 2" work for them? How about a big red stag on the rut? This time of year we had the full Jurassic park with the stags roaring at the top of their lungs telling the young guns to keep away and calling in the hinds. I've hit them square through the heart and seen them drop like a stone. Get up minutes later and walk towards them and they can get up and run 00's of metres... average dog 😆 gi yersel peace ya whallaper!

You wouldn't know a fact if it walked up to you and shook hands and introduced itself.

Like I said, over the years 2 headshots on deer, the other xxx were heart, a few (4 iirc) runners, non lost. 

It's not prowess it's cutting out the variables, hand loads, range time, range finders, sound mods, high seats, hours watching deer, knowledge of the ground, weather watching, ballistics, follow through, trigger sear, parallax error, etc etc 

 

"Gunshot wound, ballistic and medical experts on an arb forum. Who would have thought it. Not one of which I’d imagine has ever had the chance to hear the buzz or crack of a bullet pass by at close range."

 

You're the one that started the whole thing and when confronted with a different opinion you go back to abuse and diversion, just try and understand that there may be an opinion different from yours. I've heard bullets pass by and even land close by, but you don't seem to want to admit that you could be wrong.
