Can anyone reccomend a 7.62x39 soft point round they've had good luck with?

I'm going to try using my AK for the first time this year but I've only ever shot targets with bulk FMJ. Something matching 124 grain ballistics is preferable

I have had good luck with these...accurate and get the job done....I stocked up when they were $8.00 per box and thought that was expensive for 7.62X39...LOL....I run them in a Ruger American....not sure on how they would feed in an AK.

I just ordered 200 Lehigh controled caos .311 projectiles to start playing with loading up...reviews are all good...we will see.

Sorry....noticed they don't make them anymore.

I was able to get out early and punch a doe tag on the second sit on my reduction zone property. Now on to chasing bucks.

Planned to open the season Friday morning, but now I have to work. Looks like Saturday morning instead.

Nice looking doe, no ticks that I could see.

Well the heat has kept me out of the woods for a bit. After work on tuesday I will have 5 weeks off. I will start posting my daily deer movement as I did last year. Might help some of you to know you NEED to be in the woods. Cant wait for the chill in the air all day.

Saw two young bucks and five does this weekend. No shots. Did see two hen turkey on a farm where they have not been for a hundred years.

Went out this morning and spooked deer all the way there and including under my stand...lol. Nothing new, but got planted at 7:30 a.m and just before 8 a.m. had 2 yearlings and 2 nice does wondering around. Got a nice doe, been using Muzzy 4 blade 100 grain and once again not a single drop of blood to trail, but thankfully I watched her run around part of a picked cornfield for 125 yds, then lost sight. She only went another 20 yards after that run. Was able to drive truck through the woods and into the field right to her, man you can't beat that...getting her up in the 4x4 was a struggle but I manned up. LOL

I am taking an extra special trip this year.

Next week I will be taking by friend out for the last time. He has terminal cancer and won't make gun season this year. We plan to go out to the deer woods in the blind and just watch. He doesn't feel like shooting a deer this year and, to be honest, I don't either.

Hopefully we get to see some good deer. I know we will have a good time while we are out there either way.

I just realized I may have put a damper on the thread. To start it back up again, here is a picture of another friend with the buck he took on my tree farm last year.

Probably the best hunting story I will read all year. May we all be blessed with friends like this on our journey home!

I still have the bucks bunched up and travelling together. It is a late fall here and most of the leaves are still green.

Still have and 8, 10 and 12pt walking together. A LOT OF REAL YOUNG BUCKS. I only have 62 acres and right now I have identified 15 different bucks on my property.

I don't bow hunt and have spent the year rolling out the welcome mat for the woodland creatures and it is paying off...

Sounds similar to our situation. EHD smoked the herd a few years back before my hunting partner bought 75 acres. He busted his butt over the past two years and the results are definitely paying off. We're seeing at least a dozen different bucks on a regular basis and we've had one or two really nice ones that we've only seen once or twice.

We're confident his place will hold them like a magnet in a couple of years. Should be an amazing place to hunt. Good luck!

Sit update. Sat fri am. An 8 pointer just even with his ears came through at 11 am. Let him walk. Not what I'm looking for. 1145 had 2, 4 pointers come right through me. Looked like twins. Let them walk. Getting warm. Got down at 1245. No big boys yet. Didn't hunt the pm. 65 degrees. Back at it in the am
