Hailing form MN I went out with my AR with some 5.56 barnes barnes VOR-TX on opening weekend. I saw tons of yearlings and a small doe. My uncle's scope broke on his rifle so last minute I let him use my 700 in 7 rm. Of course he dicked up my scope somehow so it came off after opening weekend. After opener my uncle was done so I went back to using my 7mm with the iron sights. I saw a fair few more deer but nothing withing 700 yards. Hunting over bean fields and corn can be a pain some days. I did take a finishing shot on a running spike for a neighbor but that was about it for me. I'm getting prepped for muzzleloader now with my cheapy buckstalker in .50 with 295gr powerbelts and about 100gr of powder. I forget what kind off the top of my head. Here's hoping I have some luck with getting enough days off from work. This mandatory OT may make me regret buying my tag if I can't get out and use it now.
