    That's a rough deal of it mate. If it's your collar bone giving you grief try to avoid shooting prone (lying down). You want be sitting and standing. That way the butt of the rifle isn't sitting...

    Yes I do as mainly a filthy meat hunter. It’s always going to depend on the area and season and the animal population as to what the equation is, in low population areas maybe something like: spiker...

    I take satisfaction in shooting hinds knowing the good I am doing and given the choice I do my best to choose females over males. This is because I understand the benefits that come from this in both...

    I tend to harvest 'em as I see 'em. But I dont shoot that many any more. Im lucky enough to have some good hunting on private property and not really interested in trying to cook up antler, so its...

    I think the real question is will a 308 actually kill a hind? We should be told.

    I shoot hinds any time except when they have fawns at foot. Happy as to shoot pregnant hinds as they are pregnant 236 days a year and you know the fawn dies quickly.

    They were only one size action like a Zastava weren't they? Just a spacer for 308s etc rather than an action made for the shorter cartridge?
