Low-mid 140s, IMO. Very short G1s help keep him below 150. I can tell from the estimates who here hunts TX and who doesn't. This is not a large deer. Cedar and prickly pear suggest TX hill country, so live weight is probably 130-170. A really nice deer, would be my personal best by ~6-10"...

Texas has an Agritourism Act that gives landowners protection again liability claims. This is the wording on the signs I have on my gates. WARNING: UNDER TEXAS LAW (CHAPTER 75A, CIVIL PRACTICE AND REMEDIES CODE), AN AGRITOURISM ENTITY IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF AN AGRITOURISM...

For all the TX guys complaining about bucks they can't shoot, there is an easy way around that. Sign your place up for the TPWD MLD Harvest plan. It costs $30/yr. The state will issue you tags that are inline with your deer population. The buck tags they issue you have no restriction unless they...

Agreed it's not new-we had them in central TX in the early 80s, they would tear up the dams on our stock tanks. For some reason they were frequently, at night, in my grandfather's yard that was over half a mile from the nearest tank. We shot a few, then eventually they died off. A small group...

I thought I wanted one of these but the stock was a deal breaker. Extremely plasticky, hollow, and loud.

Given that the animal didn’t die, I don’t see how you can be so firm on that. If you look at the cavity picture, the original exit was nearly at the spine, it was so high on the ribs. There was nothing up there to hit and no blood would have been flowing from that hole. This was 100% a...

Use them much? I love uninformed opinions, or peeps that just spew 'facts'. I shot a TX Hill country deer in the shoulder at 30 yards with a 100gr Corelokt from a .243. MV is 2960, so impact would have been pretty high. Bullet hit the biggest joint in the shoulder, deer went straight down...

Not taking it personally, guys, just wanted to share that I'm cautious about it's performance. I've shot several small central Texas whitetails and had it not exit; I've also hit a couple where the exit hole was 3". I typically aim for the heart/lung region. I don't want to destroy meat...

I wasn't trying to bash the bullet, I'm just concerned. I've killed about 20 animals with it from 75 to 338 yards and have yet to not recover an animal.

I’m impressed with your buck and the performance. I’m pushing that bullet at 2790 out of my CM and have begun to question what I feel is an explosive nature. I shot my pronghorn at 190 yards hard quartering to me. I missed the shoulder but hit two ribs. The bullet grenaded, blowing up the...

I'll never understand why people hunt with target bullets. I don't care that someone 'tested' it and its better than sliced bread. I've seen way too many stories like yours. It shows a remarkable lack of respect for the ethics of hunting.

Alamo does quality work, especially on their builds.

Great that it worked out, but I don't understand the seller not sending the tracking number. It would have stopped this entire thread.

How hard is it to send a note saying 'Hey, I'm going hunting for a few days, I'll follow up next week'?

What’s wrong with the mags? They run well in my CTR
