man those brown trout are beautiful.
and really tasty.
Way outside of where I spent time in Idaho. I think there's even a guy on this forum whose handle is Henry's Fork! Those are some beautiful fish, man.
Thanks. The lodge we were staying in was actually a stones throw away from the Henry's Fork and about an hour from the South Fork.
some decent trophy heads. Not a bad spread on the last one. Did you take the spikers for meat, or did you have cull tickets?
Now I'm regretting not taking any snaps from my buffalo culling days......Back when semi automatics were legal and the government gave you as much FMJ as you wanted.
Those were the days.
.270 Mag ? Sweet Lord, them deer must have flak jackets...
Whats the shooting country like out where you are ? Distance shots or close in ?
James, looks tasty.
I took a couple of roe deer years ago with a .270 WM which I borrowed from a friend after my scope did not survive my falling down three meters on a rock... Ranges were from 60-200+ (?) meters and not a single roe went further than 5 meters after receiving the bullet. Loss of venison was surprisingly marginal. I canīt remember the load (probably handloaded) but I was mighty content. Recoil is quite manageable and if properly zeroed, you donīt need to worry about POA out to 250 meters which is comfortable. Overall I was very satisfied with the cartridge, although I still think very little of its design..270 Mag ? Sweet Lord, them deer must have flak jackets...

i never actually went hunting or fishing
I've shot many roe with .222Rem/6.5x54MS/.243W/7x64mm/.308W and meat loss is higher with the lower calibres, largely (I'm guessing) because of more energy being expended within the carcase and therefore more expansion. I've seen roe shot wityh calibres right up to 8x68S and the larger calibres seldom do too much damage, but the worst I ever saw was 6.5x68S - horrific.James, looks tasty.

there actually was this one time i was with one of nieghbors and him and his grandson and i went fishing so i cought one and i thought that the fish was dead but it wasn't and the thing started to jump so that really scared me for about a minute
I only wear that overseas... Molly747 thinks it makes me look too old.Where is your Thomas Magnum 'stache?
Thread disappoints.
I hunted in a couple of different places. The place I got the deer was wide open, but I ended up taking my buck from only about 30 yards..270 Mag ? Sweet Lord, them deer must have flak jackets...
