I don't know where you are hunting but where I come from a head shot is basically unheard of. To much probability of a wounded animal. Also never heard of a butcher refusing a front shoulder shot. Shot placement is the key to the ethical harvest

I would suggest simply scraping the plastic.

Thank your for the nice review. I have a Leica scope and waiting for my Tikka T3x to arrive to my dealer. I almost made a mistake of ordering Sako Optilock mounts, but now I'll be ordering Spuhr. My only question is if the Spuhr mount has a recoil lug corresponding with the opening in Tikka receiver? Thank you again!

As as ba13 owner had same thing.great channel lads always great to see your latest.big fan of the ba 13 got two ..took a bit of fettling but superb now.keep the videos coming pls.

Doesn't look very robust to me in terms of the moulding. I would fit a metal self tapping stud into a drilled hole with epoxy instead. You could then just dress off the moulded bit completely. Paul@testvalleyvenison

I think a good way to go is to have a similar model like we have in pest control ie we need to ensure if we want to be apart of the BPCA we need to do CPD and gain 24 points minimum a year. This can be gained by , further training, workshops, breakfast meetings, even podcasts like this would count. It all proves your keeping your knowledge up to speed. So if BASC, BDS, NGO etc laid on more small bite training in certain areas of deer management, you keep your DSC2 if you get your yearly points.

Not a fan of head shots, seen too many people get them wrong. Problem is, the deer's head never stays still for that long, and what might have been a killing shot when you pulled the trigger can end up with the bullet hitting the jaw area, leaving an animal that is still mobile, making the coup de grace a lot harder. I neck shoot, if required, but keep it to around 100m and aim just above the middle line of the neck. But for me, it's primarily, up the front leg and behind the shoulder point of aim. Good, honest video, yep love that Merkel K3 too. But, it all really comes down to your shooting ability, which needs confidence, good technique and practice!

I head/neck shot out to 250m in varying scenarios but I've done a lot of range work and I've my ballistics data really well dialled in, and only while in very stable conditions. I'd usually keep these shots inside 150m.

too many people telling other people how to shoot and why, co-dependency dis-order to the max in these comments

If you cannot hit a 2" target from 100 meters every time then you should not be shooting game.

Hunting must be humane. How can a butcher dictate how a deer is shot humanely?

Personally I don’t do head or neck shots, in my opinion the margin of injury is way too high. What I find quite interesting that 47% percent do head or neck shots , how many of these are selling the carcasses to game dealer. Who are implementing that high risk of an inhumane kill is ok just justifying for sake of meat loss. As you’re using a kipplauf and maybe like of German traditions ,if you have the change speak to German hunters ask them what they think of headshots 😉

Do we know the procedure following a call to the apha is? What will they want the stalker to do with the carcass? Many will be in my position were as a recreation stalker we have nowhere to store a carcass not fit for consumption Or even want to take it home

Thoughts on high shoulder?

If thats your group at 150m then i would seriously check your kit. Do you load you own ammo? I check zero at 120m and 235m (with a 1.25 MOA adjustment) and if its not within 1" at 235 then i question why..... Range time is key to shooting with confidence and respect for your quarry.... only headshoot at 70m-130m with fifth leg quad sticks. One thing to be aware of is that the head on an animal can move so quickly; its very easy to mess it up, so you need experience and guidance from folk who know the techniques and how to read/assess the deer before taking a shot to the head. 🙂

Not trying to be negative but, a deers head can move and turn at any time. Those targets are static

This all depends on the abilities of the individual shooter. Everyone is not the same. We all have our own comfort zone and should know our own limitations. For deer management in my park I have always headshot as that is the requirement from the owner and is the most humane kill. To ensure I can do this correctly I reload my own ammunition, tailored to suit the rifle I am shooting with a bullet that is suitable for the job (that wouldn't be suitable for body shooting). I spend a lot of time developing loads for the job. I clean my rifles systematically and regularly. I zero check my rifles regularly. I shoot using my own set-up methods to give the best chance of accuracy. I never head shoot face on and only go for side on or back of the head. Regarding neck shots, I only ever high neck shoot. Low neck shooting gives too much of an unclear sight picture. High neck shooting is easier to define the correct kill zone. Lastly there is practice and experience. I've been managing that park since January 2007. To this date I have shot 896 deer, all head shot. After that many deer you have an instinct and a 'feel' when a potential shot is achievable or just doesn't feel right. When people say "you cannot head shoot deer" or "don't do it" they are either talking about themselves or people who don't have the ability to do it. In that context they are correct. There are shooters out there with the skills and ability to head shoot. You have to know your own limitations.

Simple, don’t do it. Crazy idea. Neck shooting within 100 yards ok from a very steady rest. Head shots are way too risky, the head is the first thing to move. Paper targets are not an indicator of real stalking circumstances.

Modern technology such as 5 leg shooting sticks provide ample steadiness. I personally only headshot out to 100 meter max. Neck shot 150 meters at a push. It all depends on your situation. Wind, rain, temperature (the shakes), prone or standing, calmness. If I’m feeling off then il stick to H&L. I do tend to high neck shot an awful lot in woodland though.

Hi - I've replied to your question a couple of times but it doesn't appear below for some reason. I think there is more margin for error with a neck shot, which may explain why your poll results suggest that neck shots are more popular than head shots.

Even if you are comfortable about reliably hitting a target that size at up to, say, 150 metres, it would take very little movement of the head to turn a killing shot into a wounding shot with potentially disastrous consequences. More room for error with a neck shot I would have thought.

i fixed my Bergara BA13 TD (42cm barrel, .308) with 123grain HDB bullet (universal), CCI primer and 49,8grain N140 (full case). Result: 950m/s , 3.600 joule E0 and a perfekt group of 5 shots at 100m (circle of 25mm)

I dunno why they skipped the CRF PRo range finder. It had applied ballistics in it also.

Well done guys. An enjoyable podcast to listen to. Suggestions for future guests, Scott Rea, Roy Lupton and Tim Pilbeam.

What about parallax aljustment?

What😮😮 oooh noooo😂

Here, take my money! Awesome scopes!

have you tried factory-loaded fox ammunition, and if so, what are your experiences, manual loading is prohibited in our country, so we are "condemned" to factory loading . 👋

Nice😊

Which bullet please?

Glue scope base with epoxy to gun. If not,,,those tiny screws taking all recoil and one day they cut off. I'm gunsmith and I see lots of loose scope bases, broken screws and worn out (oval shape) threads on guns. One gun owner was on shooting range, base screws cut off and his Zeiss dropped to concrete. 😪

Love my Swarovski z6i 1.7-10x42 on the sako carbon, I recently changed from the z8i 2-16x50 to reduce weight even further. Currently with Freyr mod and scope and fully loaded in 7lbs 10oz in 6.5x55 flavour. I do however own Leica geovid binos and kind of wanted to buy Leica scope to keep everything in red logo….. time will tell! I may go for an amplus on my 6.5prc

That’s the 308 isn’t it?

Nice big fallow to start the season. Great hat choice too 😊. Paul@testvalleyvenison

I see your fallow and raise you a big one 84.5 dressed. Well done one your one. ua-cam.com/users/shortsxXa_Q8X_KNc?feature=share

Where can I purchase the pH Yard shooting sticks?

what caliber, what barrel length and what twisting step?! I ask because I recently bought a bergara but a b14 tumbhole wilderness in caliber 308win with a step of 1:10 and a barrel length of 20 inches, just finished break in barrel, and try some lead bullets, I have tried 3-4 types of bullets so far but they were all lead and I would like to hunt with a non-lead bullets, what surprised me was that the worst grouping of all was the eld-x of 178 grains, catastrophic.I'm interested in which fox bullets would be best grouped, I have 150 and 165 grains at my dealer. greetings

Hi Guys, love the show. Can you tell me how long the cable is to the solar panel?

Wont that tracking assist only work when you are in cell tower range?

25-06

Can you guys test how the Bergara BA13 groups when the barrel is hot ?

Well done lads. The Deer cast graphics looks great on the fleece. Could be worth selling 😂😂

Hello. Looks a nice neat moderator. What's the price and thread options?.

More bergara ba13 😊

Please can you compare the 232 to your smaller one in the merkel? I have a 149 and want to know if it’s worth the money for the upgrade in sound reduction.

Total garbage the F&D mods. They melt inside very quickly. The “titanium” part so small there is more meat on a butchers pencil. The customer support…non existent.

I've just bought a 196 and I really like it .

its amazing . Are all groups thumbnail now ? can you expand on the accuracy /precision profile of the ba 13?

Shot a 25-06 last night for the first time, 90gn Seira BT running at 3740fps…. Very nice and 🦊 didn’t like it much although no where near as much damage as I was expecting!

Can you buy generic ballistic turrets that can be used for any scope???
