Season is approaching. What will you carry into the field this year, and what's on your wish list for this task? I think Texas requires 215 FPE, what are some options that will fill this requirement?
Texas Deer Hunting
- Thread starter Ricochet
- Start date
I have an AEA Zeus .72 cal that I'll be taking to the stand with me. A little overkill but I love it.

You still live in a beautiful place close to the sea so be thankful for what you do have and make the best of it.

I don't know, I'm just saying a lot of people would trade places with you. We have so many deer where I live it's hard to drive at night without hitting one. I'd give up deer to live in the islands as long as I could bring my family.

Have you tried putting lipstick on your pigs? I guarantee it'll liven up your love life... OOPS! Freudian slip. Errrr... I mean hunting!

Be careful what you wish for,...living on the Island isn't what tourist broshures make it look like, it's a true struggle unless you are wealthy.
Been planning a move to the mainland or Europe for sometimes now, baby coming in late October is the only thing keeping me here.

The .357 Bulldogs elevated by Pitbull Airguns. I used one last year and took 2 whitetail. The one below is regulated and producing 218 FPE with a NSA 110gr. Gets 7 regulated shots on a fill. 100 yard (indoor) group pictured.

Got 3 this season with the Zeus. The knockdown power is insane. I usually hunt with a 243 and though I've never really had to trail one, they'll usually run for a few yds, but with the Zeus inside 40yds with the Lucky 7 frangibles, all 3 just dropped where they stood.
I had an ATN digital scope on my Zeus and had hoped to get some footage this year , but after every shot with the Zeus, the scope would turn itself off. The recoil on this gun is just insane, and I removed the scope for fear I would destroy it.
BUT, I absolutely love this gun!
