Hoobillys WaffleHouse Tour 18 Whitetail

Post by Hoobilly »

Missed this buck yesterday mid morning. Clean miss with a low shot. This afternoon I got back in my tree stand and was there approximately 20-30 minutes and here he came pushing 5 doe towards me. Steyer 243 via Winchester Deer Season XP's in 95 grain bullets blew the lungs outta him. Hopefully I can get some daytime pictures tomorrow as night pictures suck

I can’t temember how long I’ve owned this rifle. 12 years? Shoots excellent. The Winchester Deer Season XP’s shoot about as good as handloads.

Ooooh, good one. Congrats. But there is a new rule on deer size. 1st shot no deduction. Starting with the second shot there is a 50% deduction with each additional pull of the trigger on antler score and body weight.

Nice buck Brice!!! .243 or a 6mm can be bad news for a deer with the right bullet! I like handloading Barnes 80 grain TTSX bullets.

Congratulations on a fine buck, Brice! Nice that he gave you a chance at redemption. The hot girls lead him down the wrong path.

Chasing women seems to either make you die trying, or get you killed.

FYI. For those that don’t know..
The .243 is a necked down version of the .308.
Very similar to the .25-06.
Plenty good for deer.
They kill them with pointy sticks everyday!
:D

Very nice deer and the .243 is a great caliber for deer and antelope.

That’s good buck. Monster. Good deal and good shot.
Speaking of caliber. I’ve killed a few with .223 55 grain ballistic tip. It does a number on them. I don’t own a .243. But own a .270 and like it to.

159.25 with a cloth tape. I didn’t think it was that nice when I shot him. I figured 145+
