Better or worser?
When I lived in IL you could see hundreds of deer if you shined a spotlight at night in a freshly harvested corn field. And they got big. There’s less agriculture here in TN for them to munch on and beef up. I guess it’s a rare sight to see more than 4-8 together.TN deer are not much bigger than German Shepherds. I would not go bigger than a .243. You can than use it for Yotes also. Just drop down to an .80gr vs the .100gr for deer.
Ok maybe they are a bit bigger than dogs. I spent my formative years in Iowa where a good doe can field dress over 200. Texas has some beautiful racks, but I still can't believe how small the bodies are.
Great round.I have a Rem. Model 7 in 7-08, same thing but different. Handy little carbine! Nice tree stand gun.
Can you folks in TN still use dogs for deer hunting? Seems like I remember that being legal there.When I lived in IL you could see hundreds of deer if you shined a spotlight at night in a freshly harvested corn field. And they got big.

I have no idea. Maybe I would have had better luckCan you folks in TN still use dogs for deer hunting? Seems like I remember that being legal there.
Wish it was legal here in Michigan. Anything to get an advantage on those long legged rats.I have no idea. Maybe I would have had better luck

Or sold their guns that "couldn't shoot straight" because it CAN'T be their fault!@Toothpick
Deer season is over in TN. Now is a great time to scout around pawn shops and gun stores. Lots of good deals can be found on rifles that their owners think they no longer need or want....deciding the hunting scene wasn’t for them.

I bought my rifle in the dark ages when gun stocks were made of wood. I read an article somewhere, long ago, where a guy glued metal files in the plastic stock (out by the barrel) to make it stiff. I put that idea in the file manager between my ears... for future reference.
gives weight to it, helps with recoil. however if you know how to shoot, its not a problemI presume that cheap plastic stocks flex under the load of a shooting sling. Does the flex cause problems with point of impact? And does gluing metal improve the stock significantly?
The first image that pops into my head when someone mentions "Mossberg" is shotguns, but they recently put out a very well received 9mm handgun. Lol, when I say well received, at least the writer in "American Rifleman" really liked it.

Heck, with my brain it could have been a .45!
Don't get old folks, the only advantage I've found is that the young folks either respect your grey hairs, or at least they usually hold the door open for me!
