Seasons Best?

Anybody have any luck this deer season???I spent 44 hours in the woods this year and never had a good shot lol,saw one buck while i was relieving my bladder,told my partner to shoot,turned around and he was asleep

Carried 3 enfields this year, 1917 gri scoped,gibbs 308 open sighted and a 1917 eddystone.Never got to bloody any of themMaybe next year i guess....

No one else hunts deer with thier 303????

I didn't get a damn thing! When I arrived(fri) it was colder than a witch's tit.There was a good covering of snow on the ground,too! I figgered it was gonna be a great hunt..woke up Sat mornin..all that had changed!I was standin on the deck-in the sun-shirtless,drinkin my mornin coffee!!For the next 6 days & nights,there wasnt a cloud in the sky-& not even a HINT of a breath of a breeze!! Cant say as I've ever seen that before.Seen a fair bit o sign but no deer.Saw ALOT of moose & Elk sign-no deer tho dragged my Enfield up & down-hither & thither-to no avail.Saw 2 in the entire week(I pushed em out-nobody saw them Woulda bin better carrying Suntan lotion than the Enfield!! Damn weather!!
Hoadie(meatless)

Admittedly I use my 243. 

i have friends that did well and some that did nothing , the most deer were taken by cars and trucks here judging by the ditches

Nice buddy what bullet you use?

Just ask lost roo how good a shot I am.

Here in Australia the most common deer we hunt is Fallow, which isn't a very large animal. Only about a metre high at the shoulder and weighing around 80 kilos tops, so slightly smaller then a whitetail.  A 243 with sensible bullets like the 85grn sierra pro hunter or 95grn hornady SST smashes them with a decent shoulder or lung shot.

Actually last hunting trip we bombed a bachelor mob of red deer, big bastards. We took out three of the things and they weighed at least 170 kilos, probably 200. It took four of us to throw the carcass on the front of the ute, and in the tray as well. Two were shot with a 270, the first was shot with a 243. 

I use my 243 for pigs and goats as well. The tikka T3 is such a brilliant rifle, nice and light, shoots straight and I love the detachable mags for when you bomb up a mob of goats. Thing is it looks like I may be going on a goat cull soon and I am seriously considering taking my 9.3x62, as well as my 303 for some proper carnage. 

sweet  airforce what load you use??
