Thread: 223 on deer

The impact sound is a lot more substantial thud with the heavyweights compared to the 55gr. Even hitting solid bones like the humerus and scapular sounds of a louder crack.

On the hill before daybreak, 387yd shot right in the middle of the chest with a 73gr ELDM it took two steps and fell over, back at the truck by 8am, happy to have my young 21 year old brother in law for the heavy lifting.

Whanau lifting. Awesomeness.

Man..you really should get a length of seatbelt or transport strop,then use Alex Gale carry strap method. In open country it is much easier on your body and no blood down ya bum crack is a big bonus.

I think he would have tipped over backwards with that method and to be fair not my bum crack so no issues haha!

@25/08 IMP thx.

Interesting.

Still a bit unsure. Do two of the legs go under the arm pit to the chest?

So you have 2 legs in front of your each shoulder and 2 behind.
The strap goes from the leg against your back over your shoulder then through the leg at front.

That's what I imagined. Looks a smart way to do it.

Thx. I'll keep that in mind.

Try it.the tipping over backwards thing is actually less of issue as weight is lower,you still can lean forward but not as much need as weight is across shoulder tops.big bonus is if you tip over forwards you can get out from under animal easier.
