So I went to the ranch this weekend for a little R&R. I went with my father-in-law who also enjoys good cigars, and his buddy. We got there on Friday morning after a 5 hour drive to the Texas hillcountry. We set up shop, which of course required a nice gar and a glass of whisky. After getting settled in we sat on the porch most of the evening spotting upwards of 30-40 deer, elk, red deer, red deer/elk hybrids, sika, fallow, etc. My father-in-laws buddy took two doe that night while I relaxed. We had the tunes on, good drinks, and good cigars. The game just get coming, even after shooting two deer.
Saturday morning I stalked a nice gobbler after not having a chance to take a shot on him from the porch. By the time I found him he knew I was there so my shot was roughly 200 yards, standing, on top of an 80ft cliff face, with a moving target on the creek bottom below. I had about 2 seconds to take the shot but missed unfortunately. I didn't want a body shot because that ruins meat so it was a long shot to say the least. Oh well, he'll be there next time I go.
Anyways, that afternoon I was sitting on the porch with a nice HdM, glass of JW blue, my rifle etc and a spike buck walks out to join the other 15-20 deer. I decided to cull him so he didn't procreate. Took him down, cleaned him up and went back to the porch.
All in all, it was a rough hunt.Life doesn't get much better, actually. Here's my deer blind. FYI, the suppressed AR was ready in the event a pig or coyote decided to come up and sniff the gut pile. I don't hunt game with it, just pest control.
hope you guys get some time to hang out in the woods. Its a great way to unwind from the big city.
The real important question here is, is that a Surefire can or a YHM Phantom

ahh hah, someone who knows.. its a phantom. my next second phantom has the paperwork in as we speak. 7.62, for the 308. I shoot so much lately, it'll really save in the long run. My sbr paperwork for the AR is also in.
Well, first of all it's illegal to hunt within 500ft. of a building. Second of all, you could post your land. The natives will hate you, of course, and call you a know-it-all flatlander. Some Woodchucks, will take great offense for posting land their 7 generations have been hunting on and make you miserable and regret you even thought of doing such a thing. It works for us and we ain't changing the way we do things around here. Fuggin' Flatlanders. :laugh:

What is the point in suppresing an AR15? The sonic crack that you get from the .223 round makes a suppresor pointless. Most Supressor dealers will do there best to talk you out of buying a supressor for an AR15 its so pointless. Unless you are using Subsonic rounds, which is quite dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Supressing the .308 on the other hand is a good idea. Though I still have one more question? How is paying hundreds on a suppresor and $200 on the Tax Stamp going to save you money in the long run? Though they can help accuracy some, it is definately not going to help that much. With the type of weapons you are shooting especially. Those firearms are capable on pinpoint accuracy as is. I am looking forward to hearing your reasoning on this matter.
