anybody have any huntin stories(deer kills)?

It was the first saturday of the 2006 pa rifle season and it was around 2 o clock and we make this drive through this really thick piece of woods out to a pipe line and i got to be a stander for once and we got into position and then i could hear the guys yelling as they were coming to me and i heard something ahead of them in the thicket and then all of a sudden a big ten pointer trotted out i didnt know he was a 10 at the time i just new he was a decent buck and when he hit the dirt pipe line ot cross i put the cross hears of my 243. reminton 7600 right on his front shoulder and shot. he jumped up and i could see i hit him good in the front shoulder and he ran across into the other side of the pipe line. then i waited for the guys to get out and i started tracking him and there he laid about 100 yards in the woods. i got him right in the heart. hes 18 and a half spread 10 pointer. its my biggest buck i ever shot yet!! I also got a nice 8 pointer this year which is the one in my picture!

Let me see if I understand your question correctly... Is a .25-06 Remington enough caliber to take a deer? Let me tell you...

Back in 1974 I bought a brand new Remington 700 ADL (24" barrel) in that new caliber the .25-06 Remington. I made this purchase at my neighborhood K-Mart in San Antonio, TX. and got some small change back from $120. US dollars (try that today!). My friend and I drilled the stock for the sling and we attached a 3x9x32 Tasco scope, went to the range and zeroed it in. Today this rifle is still as is and my favorite Whitetail deer rifle. It has accounted for a dozen deer (and a couple of Javalina one at 400 yards) since I bought it and is still my favorite deer rifle. I'm even afraid to change scopes (although the old Tasco is kinda dim now). One deer I took with this rifle was about 250 yards off on the last day of deer season and I was between jobs and we really needed the venison. Since it was walking I didn't dare risk a neck shot as full dark was about ten minutes off... I aimed for a heart-lung shot and squeezed the trigger. The deer kicked its belly and ran! I didn't want to rush off after it for fear of spooking it and never finding it in the dark. I timed off five minutes on my Timex wristwatch and rushed after it. The blood trail was nearly a foot wide, thick and heavy. I followed the blood trail 110 yards to where it finally dropped. When we dressed it out we figured it must have exhaled as I pulled the trigger because the lungs were untouched. My 120 grain Remington bullet turned the heart into a perfect crescent moon though, which I think is why it ran so far (having missed the lungs). So now I only try neck shots. Next one was 300 yards off and it dropped from the scope so quick I thought I'd missed. Walked out there anyway and found my deer dead with a perfect neck-shot.

So to answer your question, yes, the .25-06 Remington is as close to the perfect deer caliber as you're likely to find!

Yes still hunting deer requires patience. One time walking to my stand an not even settled a rustling an ahead deer,what appeared to be a buck mounting a doe,it was in seconds as the morning gloom lifted a buck at less than 50yds clear shot and down. Over before the hunt started.Easiest ever.

My dad, my neighbor and I were hunting. my neighbor was sitting in the same spot for about three hours. It was getting dark so my dad and i went to pick up my neighbor, we got to his spot and were talking for a little bit when my dad notices a set of horns about 50 yards from us right in front of where my neighbor was just sitting. The buck jumped up took off running and i pulled up and shot him right behind the front shoulder, i was 15 at the time and it was my first buck, and 8 point with a 16 inch spread. It was just funny that my neighbor was sitting there that whole time and the deer didn't move, but when my dad and i showed up he decided to get out of there. Well it turned out to be a good day for me.

so your question was will a remington 870 express kill a deer? yes it will as a matter of fact i killed my first deer with one when i was 12 years old 1 shot 40 yards heart plus a douple lung :D and it was the first time i EVER shot a shot gun and the next year the same gun killed my second deer (both does) then the next deer season my fave hunt ever i got my first bow kill i used a matthews feather lite to kill a 112 pound doe!!! (i didnt hunt at all this season ) :( any way if u want to IM me so we can trade stories email me with instructions on how to IM lol

Yeah, my friend's brother (who was 17) and his three friends. It happened in 2005. They were skateboarding across the street and all 4 of them got hit and killed by a car. The drunk driver? A 15 year old girl, who did not even have her permit, who had broken into her father's liquor cabinet. How awful is that? She was going like 55 MPH in a 20 MPH zone. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the drunk driver is always the survivor. Depending on how you look at it, that might be the worst because you have to live with the fact that you killed people, probably your friends that you were driving with.
