Title: The rut is deffinately heating up!
Post by: jkhbuchanan on October 27, 2012, 06:24:07 PM: The rut is deffinately heating up! I found this guy about three hours into my hunt this morning hot on a does tail. I shot him twice with my .357. Two almost perfect shots. Followed the blood trail and found him still following the same doe. Finally she ran off and he finally died.

Post by: jkhbuchanan on October 27, 2012, 08:40:35 PM: bobcat: it was a firearms restricted area so i chose the had cannon over the shotgun its more fun.

singleshot: those were the entrance holes and they were not hollow points but they were the 180 gr. Heavy .357 Magnum Buffalo Bore these are some awesome rounds for hunting with a .357

Nice job! I was trying to bump and gun with a .44 today just to have something different then sitting in the rain all day. I'm so jealous.
