K-31 Fetches This Years Prize Buck

feeds@yuku.com (archeomania) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:09:46 GMT

I am a little late posting this, but I bagged a nice buck with the K-31 this year. This guy probably field dressed out somewhere between 230-240 lbs and is the largest (body size) whitetail I ever got. His rack was not proportional to his body size but it is a nice rack never the less. My son is standing next to the buck as a scale. He is 6'3" and 235 lbs., so as you can see...

My son in law nailed this one on his property in Northern Virginia at the end of black powder season 10 days or so ago.

Season opens on Saturday, Can't Wait

feeds@yuku.com (Enfield1917) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:15:32 GMT

This is the first time I am going hunting and I can't wait. Its been on my list of want to dos for a long time, since I didn't grow up with it, I have been reading books and talking on hunting forums to get some guidance.

I am backpacking into the woods with my jungle carbine in hand setting up camp and going big game hunting the next morning for two days. I have been getting ready for months hiking with my dog in the woods several hours a week, sometimes with a fully...

Yugo M48 hunting

feeds@yuku.com (Thudhugger) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:48:45 GMT

So I took my #4 Yugo out to the range yesterday morning for it's first firing test. If was dead on at 50 yds, so I moved up to 100, nice groups there so just for fun I adjusted the sights and was gonging steel targets at 200. Since it was hitting so well, I tried the 12" x 12" steel cube at 380 yds; still smacking the steel all the way out to the limits of the range! Of the four Yugos I own this is the only one to shoot that accurate without having to spend a day adjusting...

6.5x55 Twede

feeds@yuku.com (Oxxon) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 00:54:44 GMT

Went hunting this weekend near Campbellton, Tx. Bright moon was out so I went to the blind at 11:30 pm. On the way to the blind there was a hog was under the feeder and it took off. I thought it would come back later. Well, at 2:30 am Sunday this hog came out. With the moonlight I could see the crosshairs and the rest is history. We think it was about 150lbs.

Hunting with dogs

feeds@yuku.com (Enfield1917) — Tue, 19 May 2009 08:27:44 GMT

We are thinking of buying a half pointer, half german shorthair pointer mix. I have never been bird hunting, but would like to try my hand at training the dog to do so. I have also read that shorthairs can be used to track down large game and perform several other roles. Does anyone have experience trainging these dogs?

Rugo strikes again

feeds@yuku.com (Oxxon) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:02:59 GMT

I went back to Hondo with a friend of mine. We both shot hogs on the same night. I used my Rugo 7x57 and he used his 7-08. Both were boars and they were about 125 pounds each.

Soooo, that is where they have been hiding.

2 for 1

feeds@yuku.com (Oxxon) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:27:13 GMT

Went hunting this weekend near Hondo, Texas. About 20 hogs came out at 8pm and they were all the same size. The 2 hogs at the end lined up next to each other and I pulled the trigger. They were about 20 pounds each and both female. I used my Heavy Barrel 7x57 Rugo with 140BT and 48.5 grains of H4350.

Yugo 24/47's first kill

feeds@yuku.com (Oxxon) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:27:24 GMT

I have had the 24/47 for awhile and this is its first kill. I'm using a 170 Hornady Roundnose with 47 grains of Varget. The hog was under a feeder 100 yards away from the blind. It was in a group of 10 hogs and they were all the same size so the first one to step out was not going to make it home.

O3A3 Sporter and A4 clone struck gold this year in OH

feeds@yuku.com (losok) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:37:58 GMT

I thought I would post some pics of a hunt I took my girls on along with my dad and brother. I used a 1903A3 sporter I built and my brother used Dad's A4 clone I built a few years ago. The hunt took place at Double D Ranch in Ohio, its great place and was a quality fair chase hunt, I took a cow bison, and my brother took a nice 500lb plus boar. Both of us used HSM 180gr soft point ammo with a Speer bullet moving at about 2700FPS. The round is devestaing on game and has now taken 3 boar...

8 pt with the Turk

feeds@yuku.com (Hawg1223) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 11:53:54 GMT

One shot with the 1942 K. Kale. Used Hot Shot 150 gr soft point. He's been fighting, has two points broken off. Would love to have seen the bigger buck.

M39 -1 Hog -0

feeds@yuku.com (matm0702) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:51:11 GMT

Hi Folks

Went out deer hunting this morning and instead of killing a deer ran into a group of hogs in a palmetto patch.
This fellow didn't get get away but his sister tried to run us over. She could have gone 250+. The boar was killed at 20yds with a M39 Sako. Bullets were Hornady AMAX 155 grain over 48 grains of Hodgdon Varget. Hogs are so bad down in our part of Florida we kill them every chance we get. This one is my first.
