19 and still out this morning.
Snow and ice expected tomorrow so hoping for some movement today.

6.5 Grendel 123 gr ELDs

Hunting along a tree line where the deer enter from the fields.

Hunting meat but would take a nice buck if one shows up.

Good luck to all!

A little too windy for my liking but not terrible. 59 but should warm up some.

AR in 6.5 Grendel, 123 gr Hornady ELDs.

Squirrels everywhere! :lol:

Good luck to everyone!

I have some standard calibers and like traditional calibers, 270, 25-06, 30-06, 243 etc. but enjoy dabbling in the new stuff as well.

Have never shot the 22 Creedmoor but a very light recoiling round with good energy, minimal drop and wind drift out to 300 yards sounds fun.

As others have said, the options are too limited for me to jump in right now but will probably grab one if the rifles are made by Howa, Tikka, Ruger, Browning and others that won’t break the bank. I also reload so not terribly worried about ammunition.

With the 2-year agreement between Hornady and Horizon having expired, I really hope it becomes more mainstream.

As far as those who say, you don’t need another caliber, they are correct. But they don’t need all the calibers they have either. :lol:

90% or more of us on this board could do all of our deer hunting with a 30/30 lever action but we will take to the woods this season with some 243, 30-06, 308, 350 Legend, 6.5 Grendel and the list goes on. We buy more guns and calibers just because we can and not because we need them.

I have the mainstay calibers like 9mm, 45 acp, 12 gauge, 22 LR, 5.56 and 7.62 in abundance, but like others as well.

The 22 Creedmoor suppressed would be great for me to use while laying atop the pole barn and watching yotes out to 400 yards coming across the pasture.

I have seen many videos of folks using the 22 Creedmoor on African plains game, whitetail, mule deer, coyotes and even black bear. The round is more than capable of taking whitetail.

Hoping someone has actual experience with one and can share that.

Generally, will let a yearling pass if they are with their mother. If they are alone, I will shoot them, no spots of course. The MO Department of Conservation wants people to kill does so I am doing my civic duty and have taken 3 so far this year. :lol: One was a yearling but completely alone.

What do you want the watch to do?

Simply keep time?
Luminous hands?
Light to view in the dark?
Track physical activities?
GPS?
Sync to phone?
Self-winding?

That will help decide what watch or watches would be good for you.

I live here in Callaway county and will hunt the woods behind my house. Yes, I am spoiled.:lol:

Not trying to slam any other cameras but I currently have some Moultrie Edge 2 cameras in my woods and get 90% false triggers over pictures of deer, raccoons, coyotes, etc. I have them set to avoid this but it hasn’t helped so far.

I hunt woods and not fields so my cameras have to be in the woods and yes, branches move with the wind. How are the Wise Eye cameras at filtering out the “nothing” pictures?

Thanks,

Yes, it most definitely will. Headshots if at all possible though.

Or they will claim tariffs. :lol:
