Go to the Deer Hunting and Bowhunting forums, they have really good stuff and more ppl with more experience.

Red Hawk

I think everyone already has it covered. So I will just end with stay safe, aim small, miss small.

i think a 7.62x39 is a little light for deer thats probably what your ak is

According to Honorable Husband, who reloads and knows his stuff, 7.62 x 39 is roughly equivalent to a .30-30, which is considered quite adequate for deer.

i looked it up and yeah your husband is right 7.62x39 is equivilant to a 30/30

but also i have heard that most AK's arent usaully that accurate, im not trying to keep you from hunting i just want you to do it right and be successful

Scout,Scout,Scout.Thats all I can really say just find those deer during the off season so come season you arnt rushing to find a place to setup that might be an ok location. When you could of had alot of time in the off season.Also have a few different stand locations for different winds.One more practice with your gun alot,which I figure you already do as fun as aks are to shoot.

Honorable Husband would agree. (So would I) We spend a LOT of time in the woods scouting, much more time than we spend actually hunting. We don't sit in a stand. Honorable Husband tracks them after he determines their patterns during the off-season.

You also need to practice shooting whatever gun or bow you use. It is very wrong to wound an animal and then not be able to find it.


And be sure to wear nice warm wool clothes when it gets cold
