White tail deer hunting adventure of the year just begun.

[Emu]

Today my son and I went to see the hunting ranch we are going to rent for this year (and hopefully next years to come).

The ranch has not received hunters in at least four years.

We decided to rent it.

In a month we will have the first hunting trip.... Let's see what happens....

We saw some does, but not bucks....

Nice! No pressure for 4 years should give you a better hunt! Good luck!

I'll keep you posted !!

I do long range tuna/pelagic fishing and some islands/areas are closed for years down south in Mexican waters and when they open back up....the fish are not afraid, BIG and hungry.... I hope the same happens for you with these deer! Looking forward to your posts on the hunts there!

Last days I have been choosing which PCP will be taken on the 7th of December to the first deer hunting of the year.

I wanted to install a regulator on my Evanix Windy City .357 Cal, and therefore I ordered a bottle regulator for Brocock from Huma and to be sent at 170 bar.

After some work I have it dully installed and with no leaks.

The rifle is very accurate and gives near to 15 exact shots at 752 fps. That's about 100 fpe with JSB Hades. I would like to have 850 fps, but no way. Maybe the plenum is too small.

My other .357 PCP rifle is a Jager. This one is shooting the JSB Hades at 908 fps. Perfect. But only gives 3 reliable shots.

Another topic is that after a hunting session, the Evanix does not need to be fired. The Jager needs to be fired.

I am of the idea, up to now, that I will bring with me the Evanix.

In .30 Cal I made a super combination: Sidewinder + .357 suppressor, plus a prismatic sight. The Sidewinder is shooting the JSB Hades 44.5 are 1000 fps, that means 100 fpe. The sight makes it to be light weight and easy to aim quickly.

I am also thinking about to take with me the Vulcan 3 700 mm .25 Cal. That one is giving 77 fpe with NSA 33.9 slugs.

Many thinking, many shots and many practice in order to feel comfortable.

And then:

Yesterday I went with my son to the shooting range in order to confirm that my 30-06 and his .243 are dully zeroed at 220 yards.

The power of the firearms is other science. With just 6 shots and shooting up to 350 yards, we are super confident that the rifles are just as we want them to be.
