re: First Deer Rifle For 5 Year Old?
Posted by KB375 on 8/22/26 at 12:10 pm to BentonTiger7
The 6.5 Grendel and 6 Arc are definitely good choices and I’d look at an 18” AR to help keep velocity up.
But don’t discount the 300 BO either. I loaned a 16” 300 BO to my nephew for his 5 year old daughter to shoot last year. He liked it so much he killed several does and a stud 8 point as well as the buck she took. Used 110 grain AAC tipped bullets that I gave him.
The 8 pt was shot at 80 yards and ran 0 steps. Bullet was recovered under the hide on the offside. I don’t think I’m getting that upper back ??. They went and killed 3 hogs with it last week.

Distances you routinely shoot ? What platform ? AR or bolt action and what caliber ?
If you’re putting it on a suppressed 300 BO than any of the newer thermals in the $900-1500 range will be OK. Bolt action .308 class cartridge where you can shoot longer distances you need to spend at least 2X more $.
The models that look more like a traditional scope are easier to shoot from a bolt action.

Keep in mind location of the potential rail car. Transportation cost and placement is not cheap.
It is a great solution if the costs are in line with expectations. It’s hard to beat a good low water crossing on cost/benefit if the stream is shallow at normal flow.

Another tactic on culverts prone to extreme flooding is to “turtle back “ them leaving the fill higher in the center allowing flood water to go around the ends. You may have scour on the banks but the pipe usually remains in place.
Kind of like relief bridges in major bottoms that are normally dry until it floods. Then they allow water an exit taking pressure off the road bed.

There’s enough loggers and dirt contractors in S AL that can handle a job like this without an engineer. I’m sure OP’s area is the same

Here’s one of our 90’ rail cars on a pretty good size creek. Rest of our bridges are on smaller creeks and sloughs.

Culverts either steel or HDPE need 12” minimum cover. With a 4:1 side slope you go out 4’ for every 1’ in total elevation on each side. So as an example with a 5’ elevation and a 15’ top you’ll need 15+20+20 or 55’ minimum length.
A rail car is the best solution if the span is very wide. Figure at least 10’ on each side sitting on the bank.
Truck beds, utility trailers, mobile home frames have been used for smaller creek crossings. But you are not hauling any heavy loads across any these options.
If water is not very deep normally, a rocked low water crossing is usually pretty cost effective. After sloping your approaches, place geo/tech fabric before placing the rock.
We have everything from 90’ rail cars to truck beds and concrete beams on one of our properties in SW AL. I think we have 6 on that one tract and at least 3 more I can think of.

Hogs won’t work hard to get in something but will fight like hell to get out. I’ve seen a boar about 175 lbs clear a 48” panel like a Gazelle. Was so shocked I couldn’t get a shot at him and I already had the rifle out the window.
Adding, center first panel on the first post

6 hog panels and 12 t-post. Pull a 15’ radius and put down first post. Then work around the circle pulling 15’ putting a post at ends and middle of each 16’ panel. Makes a 30’ diameter pen with a little overlap of each panel. I like to use the 30 or 32” high panels. You can also cut 60” in half along the length.

Haven’t tried it but intend to this fall as I have all the components on hand.

Been a few years since I was there, but Tupelo Honey Cafe was good. The biscuits they brought out were as light as anything I’ve ever had.
Stream light Micro. USB rechargeable and small enough to carry in front pocket. I’ve carried it so much it’s more silver than the original anodized brown.

It’s called a 300 BO. Why burn the extra powder ?
I have a pair of Twisted X pull on, not snake boots, that I’ve worn daily for 2+ years. Sole is starting to separate at the toe a little and I’ve bought a replacement pair. But these just refuse to die so I’m still wearing them.
If they’ll take that kind of wear I wouldn’t worry about the snake boot soles with the limited use they get.

Danner Sharptail boots. I’ve thought about trying Twisted X for my next pair but it’s hard to give up on the Danners
