my triger is set at 8oz's not typical 3lbsPlease tell us you don't really mean your trigger is set at 1/2 pound.
If so, please tell me where you hunt so I can stay the he11 away.

Great buck,
You are getting heat because your actions do not show respect for the animal that just gave it's life. Before and after the kill for that matter.
I bet you got a few takeaways from this hunt to be better prepared.
1. Safety, triggers set that light can be extremely dangerous in the woods. Save that for the bench.
2. Sight in your rifle. Taking off a scope to clean a rifle doesn't make much sense to me, especially the day before season. Going into the woods with out sighting in your rifle is a bad idea.
3. Carry some pillow cases to put the meat in. Dirt and heat, spoil meat.
4. I would hold back on posting info like you did. You may have company there next year. There are a lot of woodsmen on this site that can pick out an area by the flowers in the background.
5. Judging by the information given, I am doubting you saw the bullet hit with a 7 mag's recoil at 210 yards. I would have checked to see if the big one was hit before pulling the trigger on another one.
Nice meat buck. He will taste good.

it's more 11ish but you can pull it with a blade of grass...whats the big deal safety's always on unless im going to shoot and my finger is on the guard until i shoot..and i have 7 years if training of shooting triggers 1.5lb to 8oz just dont drink coffee and youl be alright :chuckle:Gotta agree w/ you on the trigger weight/safety... As long as the safety's engaged and your familiar with the weight, its no more dangerous than a heavier weight. Glad you got the rest of the pics working, good stuff!!
Post by: haugenna on October 18, 2010, 09:25:59 PM
I saw the bullet hit the stump it was a rotted stump the type bears like and it was like a cloud of red dust...and after i shot my deer i double checked my scope by takeing a 200yd shot from a steady rest to see what went wrong and sure thing it was off...
4 inches lower could have easily went through the deer and blew up that same stump in the same way.

That said, good work on the spike, some meat in the freezer. :drool:
Post by: agchawk on October 18, 2010, 09:28:48 PM
Sorry man but that's the truth. Whatever "training" you might have had, it wasn't good training and certainly didn't teach you much in the way of firearm safetly. (And yes, I have had more than my fair share of training and am speaking from experience...and a lot of it)

P.S. I'm not not trying to hack on you just for sport. There are just some things described in your account of your hunt that go against how I was taught to hunt. Best of luck.

hhhmmmm no comment :o glad u hunt'in the west side 460 is a good place 4 u to b
no i hunt there, take him away, TAKE HIM AWAY or at least get me a kevlar vest. Just kidding MasterTracker, the whole trigger thing isnt a big deal as long as he knows not to get the coffee jitters before hitting the bush. Its a great write up, sounds like he had an awsome hunt

Post by: bornforhorns on October 18, 2010, 10:28:28 PM
I see your signature says you "see like an eagle"....maybe that's how you saw your bullet was 1" high and 3" to the left...better yet that's probably how you saw his horns.
Good job though...enjoy the meat.

First of all your gun is a piece of crap, Thats probably why you missed. Remington didn't do well with the 700 series.
:dunno: I own more then one Rem. model 700 and all are damn good guns. I beleive they have done fairly well with them. :rolleyes: Maybe it's the shooter. :rolleyes:
I did not read the story so no comment from me. Looks like good eats. Congrats. If what was said about taking the scope off, putting back on and not sighting it in after.....you may need more training in that area.
Post by: PolarBear on October 19, 2010, 12:22:40 AM
First of all your gun is a piece of crap, believe me I own the same one. you probably thought oh wow bore sighted right out of the box like the advertisements said when you bought it huh? Not the case. Thats probably why you missed. Remington didn't do well with the 700 series. Congrats, though not much to brag about but will be tender.I guess that the reason that a lot of Police sharp shooters use "700 series" rifles is because they are a "piece of crap"? Sorry pal but the 700 is one of the most proven rifles out there. Maybe your problem is operator error, it usually is with claims such as yours.
Post by: NWBREW on October 19, 2010, 12:31:07 AM
That really wasn't much of a deer, he really should have let him grow, definitely wouldn't be showing my face with such a little deer.
There is nothing wrong with the size of deer.....that is why he is legal. I would have no problem showing my face with any legal deer....no matter the size.
I just noticed my last post has a comment quote from you as well. 1st one saying the REM modell 700's didn't do very well and his gun is a piece of crap..........and now slamming the size of a perfectly legal deer. WTH I see nothing but B.S. in both of those comments.
I too wish I had read the story.

Your kidding right? The 700 is an awesome gun. You must mean something else.
Post by: pods8 on October 19, 2010, 07:26:29 AM
the meat was on the stump better than being in the dirt...
Carry a game bag/pillow case if you're going to "quarter" it. Or use the back of the hide you just skinned off, use your pack that you're going to carry it out in, use an emergency blanket, etc. Anything to keep it clean and off the dirt/stumps/etc.

Maybe he meant the 770s? Not sure if that is what is pictured but I've heard bad things on the 770s. The 700s on the other hand are good guns.

What I meant by the 700 series is the 710 (shown in the picture) and the 770, <snip> So I hope that is clarification enough.
Well you've stated which models you are talking about but just to clarify I'd revise your interpretation of the statement "the 700 series", almost anyone would assume that includes the 700 which you aren't including in your mind. Probably best to just specify the 710/770 in the future (and I don't think anyone is really going to argue on the statements you made about those ;)).

yeah and thats another thing some guys take thier safety off when they walk in the woods sounds like this gun could go anytime too dangerous give him 1 shell too carry in his pocket and if he sees something he can go for it
Yea , then we can call him barney fife

Is that scope eye? :bfg:
I was gonna post the same thing when I got to the end. I believe he did scope himself. :chuckle:
At a half a pound I guess he wasn't ready.

but honestly guys don't you think it is enough... the guy posts a story and report just to get bashed.. non stop we hear post pics, we want story then BLAM.. he gets hit with 20 questions from gun to hunter orange.
i bet we all have something (a pic or something) that others would or could find questionable in (their opinion.)
but we should encourage people to post and give their stories AND if others want to help with advise or comments then do it in a constructive manor and not make a guy not want to ever post again.
that is just my :twocents:
good luck to all this year.. i'm taking my 10 year old on his first deer hunt this weekend.. can't wait.

Wow you guys are harsh. Knocking the guys gun and his deer? Hope you all never shoot a dink or have to settle with an inexpensive gun. Been there done that myself in my younger years. I think you all need to cut a little slack now.
I agree. I felt a bit compelled to address the potential ethics/safety issues, but I have no interest in attacking his choice in rifle, or for shooting a legal, tender meat, good eating buck. I think a lot of us lose some of the good natured fun of the hunt when we switch to "trophy only". I know I've let it get too serious in the past. He's obviously got some of it right. He's got meat. I think some changes here and there might help him out, that's all. I think we could all benefit from some advice from time to time. I certainly have. Best of luck to him, and the rest of you.
