Thats one question that's likely not going to be answered, but Ill give a hint to a few places, Draw bridge and Decoursey for sure. Aries Rd. and the cripples along the Nanticoke. Not very often, but they show up from time to time.
Thats why Im going to get a 50 BMG. I can use Rt 50 to get to where I can use it. Itll be 50/50 until the deeds done all the way though.

Here's mine! Six point 8.5 year old.

Were'd I shoot him? In the neck.

Same thing, for the record "the neck was not where I was aiming" but the recurve was just as handy except it was 50lbs not BMG.

Let's add the myth of .50cal against human targets in here. I thought it was in the Geneva convention, but deer never signed it. So, game on.

Sarcasm.

Silver lining. This thread has gotten a lot of lurkers to start posting. Maybe it can get more people to Annapolis too. Plus, we cracked 10 pages. Mission accomplished.

Remember that the posts per page were changed. So, this thread is not "Ozark Trail tumbler" quality yet.

You can go into your setup and set it for 20 post per page. I did.

Exactly. Mine is set to 20 per page. That is why I mentioned how many pages are showing for me when comparing it to the Lee2 Oil Change Thread. Now, they are getting close to one another.

And as I have said before, there is nothing illegal about it. It isn't the wisest choice of weapon for hunting deer, but it will get the job done. Heavy as heck to lug around in the woods. Ammo is really costly. It will do a ton of damage to the deer, and the list goes on. However, it sure as heck will kill the deer humanely. This is as bad as the discussions about whether .223 Rem is ethical for hunting deer. Again, not my cartridge of choice, but not illegal either and plenty of people swear by the cartridge. Some even swear by .22lr for whitetails, but that is illegal here in Maryland. This really comes down to personal preference and the freedom of choice. Maybe the guy using the 50 BMG thinks you are under gunned for deer.

I have a question for you, where the heck are you hunting in Maryland that you run into 250+ pound bucks?

You know what, I am just going to throw it out there, AR-15s are shite and AKs are where it’s at. Prove me wrong! :lol2:

Neither was I, but I'll take luck any day. He folded up like a poker table. No tracking necessary. Mine was a .44 mag 56yd shot. I was aiming for his front shoulder. I pulled the shot a little.

Fun fact, that famous sketch was re-done several years after the original sighting/sketch, and the witness recalled the original sketch artist, not the Unabomber

Yes, yes it has...

But it's a dry heat!

No frickin way. Is there anyone here that truly believed that a missed shot sucked the eyeballs out of that deer. Please no air pressure vacuum concussion science. This was a .50 caliber bullet, not a howitzer. Could I really be wrong?

JLuck66 · Dec 15, 2017

I only had made two posts myself prior to this one and have been a member for several years. I hope I am not being referred to as a troll or lurker. I love my guns and support those that do as well. I just do not have a lot to say very often.
