Final Report of FX Indy .30 Cal and JSB Hades on BIG Game hunting.
- Thread starter Emu
- Start date
.30 cal Hades are my absolute fav pesting/hunting pellet. That thwack they make on contact is definitely something that makes ya smile--almost need to do a Hades vs Polymag thwack showdown. Ha

12cents a pellet…thwack in the pocket book 
Those 30cal pellets cost more than 22LR ammo, pretty much the same amount of lead. Somebody figure that out.

I may not tell what will be available. When going on big hunting it is not like going shopping to Walmart.
It could be from deer to coyote, javalina, bobcat , etc.....
Deer is the less probable because of the type of hunting we will make, but any of the other are theoretically possible.
But again, big hunting is not like going shopping to Walmart. So the result is uncertain, absolutely uncertain.

@Bertman77mk2 I believe he meant to say “big game” hunt. It seems that English is his second or maybe third language. Sometimes reading between the lines helps. I think he writes pretty well. It’s tough to write in another language. Even if you have a translator you still have to understand the rules of grammar which probably differ from your native language. Even then one can still make small mistakes like typos.
@emu Nice looking coyote you bagged with your FX. How far out did you shoot from? Did you take it at night or during the day time? Where’d on its body did you shoot it? I think that’s the first I’ve of heard of an FX Indy. That deer is gorgeous. Which type of quail are those? They look pretty large.

Absolutely fantastic mature big old Wiley mule deer. I’ve been chasing them for years. Well done.

Coyote was taken in the morning while looking the mule deer. It was at 50 yards. It was a a broad chest shot.
Those are Gambel quails. I had never seen those before.
I am very happy with the deer. This hunt was a challenge. It was very difficult to see the deer and to had the chance to shoot.
My shot to the deer was at 250 yards in a hill full of bush.
I had to shoot quickly as soon as I was able to make a chest shot. The deer never stoped, I shoot while the deer was walking up the hill.
Here it goes a picture of the hill where I shot the deer:

Thanks Mike.
In my bucket list there are some pendings:
A pheasants hunt;
An elk hunt;
A grey wolf hunt;
A jungle turkey hunt (with air rifle if possible);
My joints each day are more reluctant to take where I want to.
