I got the 223 mainly for coyotes but also had the thought of bagging a smaller doe with it. I was hesitant to try it on that buck. I had never laid eyes on him before so it was truly a surprise when he walked out.
No pass through. Internal damage was surprising considering it was a .223 soft point. He flinched when I shot so I was pretty sure I hit him. When there was no blood where he was standing I began to have my doubts. I began walking the direction he went and found him a few minutes later.
Snagged this big boy on Saturday evening at about 4:45. 12 pointer, 230 pounds field dressed. Had him weighed at the processor. 155 yard shot with my new Ruger American Ranch in .223. I felt way under gunned when I saw him. I wished I had grabbed the .270 instead. He ran a 40 yard circle...
I had a similar experience at Lowes this morning. When we are parking the car I notice a young boy, 7 or 8, walking dangerously close to our car. My wife stops the car and asks me where the boy came from. I look up and see 2 guys walking about 20 yards in front of the boy, not paying a lick...

Knivesshipfree.com has their Esee line on closeout. I got a 3 with the Molle back for $84 shipped. They have some for as low as $73, last time I checked.
My boys have both been hunting with Grandpa this year. Niether has gotten a deer (yet) but they have said they have enjoyed spending time with him. He is 72 and they know his hunting time is somewhat limited. I am proud that the boys recognize that the fellowship is the important part.
I have bought glasses online many years ago. Dont recall the name of the company but they were based in Hidalgo, Texas, IIRC. I had good results. My wife just got her replacement glasses from Walmart. A pair of regular glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Regulars were fine, sunglasses were...
2008 Honda Element. Not that great on gas but it's paid for and haven't had a single problem with it. No pic as I am too lazy to walk outside and take one.
Mossberg 835 here. Slayed many a bird with it. I like the extra distance I get out of the 3.5" mag. Sounds unbelievable to me now, but I paid $269 for it NIB at Dicks Sporting Goods a few years back.
