Birthday cull hunt!
 
2 Attachment(s)
What a great trip! Just got home from a cull buck hunt w/ my wife to the Lamesa Ranch just outside of Eagle Pass, Texas. We had a great time and I love going to south Texas to see the animals, that actually come out during the daylight!

We were there to shoot 3-4 year old deer that did not meet the ranches criteria to give another year of growth. We were there w/ 2 other couples and 2 of them traded their deer for cull Gemsbuck which the ranch owner no longer wants on the ranch. We also had one of the ladies upgrade to a 145 shooter buck, but not sure on his final score just yet.

It was a blast and a great birthday!

Sounds like ya'll had a good time. Nice cull bucks.

If you think the culls are nice, go to their website and see the "big guns"!!!! Holy Crap - they were HUGE!!!

95% of the bucks were busted up from the rut which was over, but still had the bucks cutting up a little.

My 'wife's gun' is a 7mm-08 and 'she' shoots Winchester Ballistic Tips, Love Love Love that gun and that load. 3 for 3 on deer none of them ran another step. Big fan of that gun:)

Federal Fusion because it grouped the best out of the ones I tried. Of all the rifles I own, no two rifles shoot the same bullets, but I am anal about grouping and trying to get bullets to touch. I am actually talking about going back to hand loading again. I used to do it 10-15 years ago, then sold my stuff in the divorce. Now, with the price of ammo, I am thinking it may be cost effective to do it again. Love handloads from once fired brass since they make sub 1/2" groups at 100 yds.
