Re: Kipplauf hunting
Congrats on the moose. If you don't mind me asking what bullet and load did you use in your 6.5 CM. I am trying to come up with a possible elk load for my 6.5 CM K95. Course I have to get drawn for the tag.

Thanks! I just used a factory 143 gr Hornady ELD-X, no custom load.
Good luck with the draw!
Good luck with the draw!

Thanks for the info, I'm still trying to come up with what bullet to use if I get drawn for elk.

140 Accubond would be my 6.5 CM choice.

Re: Kipplauf hunting
I just got back from a few weeks down at a mates farm, I was fixing up the driveway as it's about 5km lo g and was close to impassable. Fixed up some machinery too but I did manage to get a few shots in.
I got 4 foxes, all young ones at night in the 1st week from in front of the house at night, just having a quick flash occasionally.
We needed to get them as I just dropped 4 geese off at the dam in front of the house.
But after the work was done we had time to get some meat, as usual while working on the road we saw goats everywhere but come time to hunt them and they were nowhere to be seen.
But eventually I managed to get 3 nice eaters that cut up really well.
They were all this size.

Re: Kipplauf hunting
I ame down to a mates farm to install new batteries in the solar system. It was just at the end of the rut, they were croaking on Wednesday but then they fell silent on Thursday onwards.
But yesterday afternoon after cutting a few loads of firewood just at sundown I had to pop out to the Ute for something and saw a young buck come out of the scrub only a couple of hundred metres from the cabin.
The just before I'd swapped the 30/06 barrel on the K95 for the 22 hornet barrel expecting a fox at night.
So I got this one at 180m with the 22 hornet and a 40gn Vmax with one shot to the head.
Quite the bit of luck and will save me a lot of walking trying to find one for meat.

Re: Kipplauf hunting
The hornet never ceases to impress! Nice!
"That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day." —R.Ruark

Re: Kipplauf hunting
Went for a quick look on a new bit of private land today and saw, some good numbers of deer. But I saw a few heading out of the scrub at dusk, with this nice big fella as a very pleasant surprise bringing up the rear.
One shot with the 30/06 and a 150gn TTSX to bring him down, and one to finish him off. He wasn't moving more then his head around so it was less an insurance shot then it was a mercy shot.
