You guys will love hunting the Hill Country. The deer are thick as fleas...
My son started hunting with me at 12. He's 14 now and has harvested 3 does, and got his first buck this year. See the "Texas Hill Country Buck" thread. Again, Congrats to both of you! |
RE: Tx buck
Nice buck..
congrats to you and your son. |
RE: Tx buck
Congrats to you and your son.
How hard was the "bump" and what brand of scope failed you? |
RE: Tx buck
Congrats to both of you.

RE: Tx buck
Congrats, way to go!

RE: Tx buck
The "bump" was me putting a 1/2 turn on the ring screws afterI got home. Find it hard to believe it whacked the scope out. Maybe the 3x9 Simmons is messed up; didn't seem to be. Going out Fri with same gun open and a scoped Glenfield. I have a nice old 788 in .243 I haven't dialed in yet, either.

RE: Tx buck
nice couple of deer. Congrats.

RE: Tx buck
I would be at all surprised if something did "break" inside the Simmons. If it were me, I would sight in the 243 and take it.
