Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

I had an issue with a bullet in the past. I called the manufacturer which was federal. They had me send it back for them to view. They sent me a brand new box of bullets. I know it doesn't take back what you could have shot but at least you get a box of bullets out of it hopefully. I would love to hear the outcome if you contact the manufacturer

Only had one day to hunt so I took off October 30th.  Got to spot and crept up on a herd of five does in their usual haunt.  I observed them for a while and no buck.  They slipped off to bed so I waited to see if any bucks were trailing the does and sure enough this buck shows up trailing them like a hound dog running and scent checking their trail.  Shot him at about 40 yards as he took the same path that the does did across me.  Grateful for the harvest.
congratulations young man ! Nice work !

I've had a bad run with a recent brick of fed 210's.  Last range trip was Saturday with my daughter and out of 50 rounds she shot we had 6 not go boom.  Stripped the bolt mid session to check for any obstructions and all was normal.  Setting that brick aside for range ammo.

Don't beat your buddy up too bad about it.  Could be as simple as a bad primer or even on you if you've got crud in your bolt assembly.  If you've got a friend willing to spend his time reloading for you treat him well because it's a time consuming endeavor.  :twocents: :tup:

Crazy last 2 days of the season for my son and I. After my son shot the spike this bear got to it before we did, drug it 200 yards down the hill, then didn't want to give it up. Went back to the same area the next day and the 3 point showed up.

I'm not beating him up at all. Just a heart breaker to have my twins with me and get the one bad round in the backpack. Wasn't ment to be. He'll be a toad next year.

yeah man that's absolutely a heart breaker. To do everything right only to be steam rolled by a bad round is tragic.

That's the good kind of crazy. Huge bonus to get that bear right at the end.

One year my dad and I were muzzleloading and we spotted a cow elk out in the tall grass in the scablands. We put up the binos and could see hundreds of more heads in the grass. So we checked the wind and the cover and decided to put a stalk on them. We got up to about 60 yards from where we knew they were at last and got on our knees and peered over the rocks we came up behind. There was that cow, still standing chewing cud. The wind was pretty harsh so they had no idea we were even there and were just hunkered down for the time being. Well I got up and fired but only my primer went off! Dang it! The elk all started standing up and looking around and when a spike stood up my dad decided he was gonna shoot too. He shot at that spike from about 45 yds and then they all just jumped up and ran. Right to the road where some guys jumped out and shot 4 of them... argh! Well when we got back to the pickup a buddy of ours showed up because we called him and told him we were headed out after some elk we spotted. So him and my dad are talking and my dad takes off his sling and points his gun towards the ground and his bullet just falls out in the gravel!  :yike: So his buddy says " What the hecks that about I wonder?" Well after getting home and putting calipers on his sabots and bullets he figured out he had two mismatched sets of each. He had let a local kid borrow his gun and gear cuz the kid wanted to try muzzleloading and the kid, being a good person, decided to run to the store and buy my dad some extra sabots and bullets. Well some of those bullets were .44 and some were .45. Lesson learned there. He must have just fired his plastic sabot at that spike.  :dunno: We never got another opportunity at the elk that season either.

2024 Halloween buck. Unfortunately it took us 24 hours after the shot to find him. Nathan recruited some friends and one of their dad's to come over and help us grid. We spread out 5 wide and my boy walked right to him. 112 yards from the fence line.

Good job sticking with it!
