I just shot my first whitetail yesterday morning at about 7:30am with my savage 110 in .25-06. There was a buck chasing 2 does and none of them gave me a good shot so I was a bit bummed out, lowered my gun and then I saw a nice big doe standing perfectly broadside at about 150 yards. Offhand shot went through the left shoulder and through both lungs. She didn't even make it out of the field she was in
Awesome hunt Mr. Spomer! I just took my second buck ever last week with a 7mm-08. My brother is visiting from out of state and we’re going after a doe. The best part of hunting is the time spent with people you care about most.
Awesome video, here in North Dakota. My first hunting season this year, I used my grandpas 25-06 117 grain. First shot and put the buck down where he stood. Awesome experience!
Thanks for taking us along, Sir! I have not seen many here....but I have a few more days, the .25-06 or the 6mm Rem will speak again if I can find a buck up here in NH (I am about half and half with these two rounds, using them on nearly all 'my' deer...so your title spoke loudly to me) ... Tracking without snow can be a pretty tiring effort, but it's my usual M.O. in these New Hampshire woods. Thank you for all your videos and your conversations with us all.
I have also watched the video on RSOTV and it is even better with additional footage, more banter and all the other things you like about Ron's video's.
Ever since I was 13 I always said if I decided to move out of Michigan I would go to South Dakota. Love the peacefulness of the area you're in and as always it's great to see a successful hunt. Two more years in the Marines and I can get back to enjoying my time out in the field hunting.
Just got back from the Bob creek park in Southern Alberta. 8 years waiting for an antlered Mule tag. Some wind you couldn’t walk in. Hunting with a cousin serving as a Canadian Officer on a tight schedule. Nothing for three nights in a backpack camp. Your opening line made me smile even though I feel all of my 58 years.
Great job as always Ron ! i learn a heck of a lot from you the 7mm/08 my 1st bolt scope savage combo i purchased over 25-30 years ago and it sat on the shelf for a long time i thought it was a fluke. But I'm glad i got it from you what a truly great cartridge this is and continues to be, and it inspired me the get the .260 rem and the 338 fed and a trusty mini-Mauser in .243 as well a 308 win semi, wow; what A Family in a Case!
My dads 25-06 is an old Ruger M77 originally chambered in .257 roberts. When he bought it used in about 1992 you could see the .257 stamped over with xxxxxxx. Great little rifle- it has the darkest walnut I’ve ever seen on a Ruger- it’s damn near black. He calls it “deers’bane” lol
Its always fun the be in the outdoors hunting... I've been in a tree stand on a monster game trail running into a big oak bottom since about 2 hours before legal shooting hours and when I'm thinking about leaving I like to pop in the ear buds and watch a hunting video to give me a little motivation... Y'all just recharged my batteries with this one and great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Nice hunt.. I hate the wind like that. Nice buck! I have a 6mm in the case and a Howa 25-06 that I am building right now. Thanks for covering these great cartridges.
We had 2 days of our trip with 60mph winds. Even with a 6.5-300 I think 200 yards would have been the top of my range that day. Couldn’t even stand without getting blown over.
Great footage love following your channel. Love shooting the 25-06 was my first gun, Ruger M77 and still use it today. As a matter of fact just bought my oldest son (9) his first hunting rifle in 25-06, Tikka T3.
Know what you mean about the wind. I was able to take a doe for freezer fill yesterday with my 25/06 here in North Georgia at 207 yards 15-20 MPH wind in my face backed up into a Cedar tree overlooking a field. My rifle is a Ruger M77 Tang safety that my dad bought me for Christmas when I was 14 years old back in 1980. Great rifle enjoy your videos and professionalism sir.
Congratulations on a great hunt. Fantastic video. Would have been perfection if the actual shots and impact on the deer had been caught, but things happen. And maybe utube has something to do with that, what they allow shown.

I’ve been hunting with a 6mm Remington for decades and I got my Son a Ruger 6mm and it’s hard for me to say there’s a better round for Whitetail Deer and I’ve hunted with a lot of Calibers in the past 40 years and I stay with my 6mic. It’s so recoil friendly and with the proper Hornady loads it’s dropped every single Deer I’ve hit right where it stood. I’d have to say the .270 a close second lol. Stay safe my Friend Semper Fidelis
This video is a real treat! Just about as close to actually being out hunting with you as it can get. Boy, what a really nice buck your buddy took there. Just beautiful. You have really got me interested in those lil' ole' 80gr TTSX bullets. So mush so, that I ordered some for my line-up in my 338 Sabot project. (Which is coming along nicely, by the way.) Thanks a bunch brother Ron. Just awesome.
RON AND GEORGE CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT HUNT! YA, I LEARNED THE HARD WAY TOO ON VIDEO TAPING HUNTS. VIDEOGRAPHY, THATS A WHOLE DIFFERENT DISIPLINE. LOL. LOVE WATCHING YOU guys' HUNT, KEEP THEM COMING!!!
This is the most perfect named video. The only two "long range rifles" I own anymore is Ruger m77 6mm rem, and a savage 25-06. Where I live black bear is the largest animal. So these two calibers are the only guns I hunt with in fields and stands, everything else I I use in the woods is lever action winchesters
Great hunting. George got a really nice mature buck. I take it he was using the 6mm Remington with an 80 grain projectile, but I could be wrong. The area reminds me of being in South Dakota especially with those winds, but I'm sure it could be anywhere in the mid-west. Thanks for sharing it is a really nice video. I'm about to head to the field myself for a little deer hunting this afternoon.
Hunters!! At 1:31 into this post Ron says “it just makes for a miserable hunt and it’s just not enjoyable” The whole point of going hunting is to enjoy yourself.! If weather conditions are such that you are not enjoying yourself there is NO POINT!! Let yourself hunt in better conditions or reschedule!!
There's an assortment of bullets available for the .25-06 that run from 100/105 grains, all the way up to Nosler Partitions at 120 grains. And game like Pronghorn, Black bear, really Big Mule Deer 🦌 will fall very fast with a single, well placed shot!
I love ALL of your videos and am a devoted subscriber. My question is whether the 2nd/3rd kill is very sportsman-like? Just seems to be an easy win after the first kill. "Fair chase" is relative to the hunter and I'm not knocking you at all. Maybe that would be a good video topic in the future. How does one define "fair chase" and how does Ron Spomer define fair chase. Hunting ethics essentially. Would love to hear your input. Thanks for everything Ron- keep it up sir
First off. Great video as always.... 2) Could you do a video on the Barnes ttsx bullets? I think it would help a lot of hunters that are on the fence or just looking for a better hunting bullet. Two hunting seasons ago I made the switch to the Barnes ttsx bullets in my 30- 06. From the first whitetail deer, it was like WOW! I'm now working on a load for the Sako S20 IN 6.5 PRC and the Barnes LRX 127gr. bullets and can't wait to try that on deer @ those prc speeds. Happy hunt guys.
Rich, thanks for the comment. I made the switch to BARNES bullets nearly 30 years ago. I've used them across a wide range of diameters for all of my big game hunting. Until something better comes down the pike, make mine Barnes.
Waidmannsheil with the buck and the doe! How does it work with tags overthere. Are the populations monitored? Is there a quota of does and bucks that have to be culled? And who decides how big that quota is? Overhere in the Netherlands there is a weekend in february when all the hunter count all the roe deer in their fields on two evenings and a morning. That number is used in combination with the amount of cover and suitable habitat for the deer to calculate how many roe deer there approximately are (van Haaften methode). I think that this number is most of the time a underestimation. Thanks in advance. With kind regards, Gaatze
Regular monitoring by conservation officers balanced by landowner complaints and tolerance of deer numbers. Then limited tags sold per sex and species.
Wow. Not great calibers for that wind I spent 30 years in Kansas. Always hunted from the ground laying down in a hedge row when the wind started howling. That's the best we found plus didn't shoot more than 150 yards. 7mm mag. 150 grain .
Looks like you are carrying that Dakota single shot 25-06. I was all excited about the Dakota until I had one in hand. It's open pistol grip doesn't appeal to me. I like the ruger number one and actually the Winchester 1885 a little better, but I am not so excited about the straight grip on the 1885. The browning B78 appeals to me more but I have read so much about the trigger on them, that I am a little leary of them. I was looking for an 1885 though, and on a deer hunt by miles city about 8-9 years ago, I saw the lever of an 1885 sticking out on a gun rack in a store there. It turned out to be a rifle from a special run of browning B78's built on the newer 1885 action with the newer simpler trigger, or so I was told. It was a 30-06 so I was hesitant at first as I already had a number of 30-06's, but when they pulled it out, I had to have it. It had a gorgeous feathercrotch walnut stock on it and a 24 inch barrel instead of the standard 28 inch of the 1885 (plus the pistol grip stock of the B78), so not only is it beautiful but it is also quite compact. I asked if they had any others in z different caliber, and they had one other. It had a 26 inch barrel in 300 win mag and a lighter colored stock with extensive fiddleback figure. It took a long time for me to talk myself out of not taking both, but I don't really have a need for a 300 mag. I have regretted that decision many times since. I have only seen one other rifle from that run, a 270 with 24 inch barrel online. I should have got it but I am leaning towards a 28 inch barrel in 270 for the extra velocity. I haven't bought a standard 1885 in 270 because of the straight grip on them. I did have an 1885 low wall in 22-250 that I was seriously considering having it bored out to 25-06 but I prefer the ejector of the highwall, to the extractor of the low wall. I ended up selling the rifle. I wish now that I had done it. The slim light compact low wall in 25-06 would have been a dandy to carry deer hunting. I have contemplated getting a 28 inch barreled 1885 in 270 and restocking it with an exquisite feathercrotch blank I have, but making it a pistol grip stock, but the cost has detered me so far. Your Dakota is a nice looking rifle, I hope you get to enjoy many hunts with it. Nothing like hunting with a classic, good looking, single shot rifle.
The problem is most of the time in my neck of the woods you can’t go prone because usually the grass or brush is too high.. your forced to go free hand or sitting down or kneeling
Must be nice to have private land ware buck deer 🦌 actually come into a field during daylight. Come to ware I live in Wilmington NY. Only way I see deer like that is a 3mile plus hike into the mountains. Urban Deer don't dare move here during the day. But the deer deep in the mountains do move in daylight ,not getting the hunting pressure
Did you notice the high shot wound on the first buck at 2:15? He must’ve been in exhale during the impact. Great hunt Ron! It was hard to tell the ranges, was the 6-pointer not a good shot?
Ron, you guys hunting north of Bear Butte, by Nisland or Newell, SD? Looks pretty familiar…. Me and my sons are hunting the same area for some does for the freezer. Same conditions here if not hunting that area. (thought we saw the Butte in the background)
Nice vid as always. I noticed the buildings in the background. Did you limit your shots to specific angles? I hunt on suburban land and I’m very cognizant of my shooting lanes. I read your article on hunting in populous areas and did use Vmax on a doe with good effect.
It wasn't being fired. The was after the buck had been shot. George was just coming out of the rifle after watching the buck to make sure it wasn't getting up again.
Yeah, I was also disappointed...for I wanted to see Barnes TTSX in a positive light, since I personally have not had the best of luck with them...having to track game if bone isn’t struck. I’m assuming it was a high shoulder shot to be a bang-flop as described.
I just shot my first whitetail yesterday morning at about 7:30am with my savage 110 in .25-06. There was a buck chasing 2 does and none of them gave me a good shot so I was a bit bummed out, lowered my gun and then I saw a nice big doe standing perfectly broadside at about 150 yards.

Congratulations, you'll remember that the rest of your life! Happy future hunting.
Congratulations.
Congratulations!
Nice job! Now enjoy the meat! With the price of beef climbing and venison being healthier anyway, you just did you and your family a favor.
Congratulations!
Awesome hunt Mr. Spomer! I just took my second buck ever last week with a 7mm-08. My brother is visiting from out of state and we’re going after a doe. The best part of hunting is the time spent with people you care about most.
Definitely not in Pennsylvania. Buck calmly out in wide open daylight, made it past poachers from September. Nope, not PA
@@pamtnman1515 That’s the truth
Gotta love the banter of a couple of old hunting buddies. Cheers to a good hunt guys!

I always have a good laugh when I see hunters combining orange and camo, or shoot from a vehicle while fully clothed in camo. Nice animal!
Well orange and camo makes sense
It's done not by choice ,it's state law almost everywhere. At least orange hat is law
Deer can’t see orange.
Deer are color blind I've got closer to deer in hunter orange then camo its state law where I'm from on rifle season
Or shooting from a 1000 yards while fully camouflaged. Camo scoped rifle stock? Camo binoculars? Camo knife? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WOW!! Nice light recoil on that first shot!!! He didn't even move or flinch!
thats all because he did not shoot at all
Great video!
Monday managed to knock down a nice buck with my 2506 great deer cartridge for sure
Good stuff
Hey Ron you should do a video on a pmr-30 22 magnum
Ron, we didn't get to see the impact! you know we all wanted to!
Nice job Ron! Never seen so many in one spot!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
We get 45km/hr gusts here some times so nothing comes out until near 5 minutes before last light. Especially when it's warmer.
I just got done with my first hunt ever! 5 hogs! Used 357 Maximum & 445 SuperMag 21” Encores
That is a beautiful buck
Great video enjoy all of yours
Thanks Brad.
The way to deal with high winds is to stay home and watch Ron on RUclips.
George maybe a bad videographer, but he is a GREAT DEER HUNTER....WOWZA 👊😉👊
Yes indeed. I can forgive George for missing my doe shots as long as he continues making his buck shots.

Your Dakota is a nice looking rifle, I hope you get to enjoy many hunts with it. Nothing like hunting with a classic, good looking, single shot rifle.
Hey great content! Could you settle another debate of smaller/faster round verses large/slower round? I prefer 25-06 (kinda best of both) though.
That debate can only be settled by each of us individually! There will never be a group consensus!
The problem is most of the time in my neck of the woods you can’t go prone because usually the grass or brush is too high.. your forced to go free hand or sitting down or kneeling
I sit and use portable shooting sticks.
@@RonSpomerOutdoors that is a great way to go.
Would u consider 115 grain nosler ballistic tip out of 25-06 for deer only what I got to use I found a lot of it at a sale
6:16 What was that? 9:06 Magnificent buck all the same.
6:16 was where we had to break away from the impact shot to avoid violating YT rules and risk censure.
@@RonSpomerOutdoors I am sadly not surprised. Guess it's all that "freedom" we have here...
Must be nice to have private land ware buck deer 🦌 actually come into a field during daylight. Come to ware I live in Wilmington NY. Only way I see deer like that is a 3mile plus hike into the mountains. Urban Deer don't dare move here during the day. But the deer deep in the mountains do move in daylight ,not getting the hunting pressure
I like the video for the most part and love all your other videos especially on different calibers. Why the actually kill wasn't filmed though?
Looks like your home country of S. Dakota.
Why no impact video on the buck?
Ttsx are the best hunting bullets
How far was the shot with the 243?
Did you notice the high shot wound on the first buck at 2:15? He must’ve been in exhale during the impact. Great hunt Ron! It was hard to tell the ranges, was the 6-pointer not a good shot?
Hey Ron, at the start of the video............were those partridges in a pair tree?
Those partridges in the pear tree were actually sharp tail grouse in a Russian olive tree.
Ron, you guys hunting north of Bear Butte, by Nisland or Newell, SD? Looks pretty familiar…. Me and my sons are hunting the same area for some does for the freezer. Same conditions here if not hunting that area. (thought we saw the Butte in the background)
Yes!
Half tame deer and no roos how good!
I was really hoping to see the DOE
After the harvest, they say, "he's beautiful!!". Im thinking "he _WAS_ beautiful!!"🙄do you have these thoughts RON?? *WYD?*
Gone with the Wind (balistic version)
Why didn't you show the impact on the buck
Trying to stay out of YT jail.
@@RonSpomerOutdoors sad times we live in.
Nice vid as always. I noticed the buildings in the background. Did you limit your shots to specific angles? I hunt on suburban land and I’m very cognizant of my shooting lanes. I read your article on hunting in populous areas and did use Vmax on a doe with good effect.
Need to remain situationally aware of building and road locations. The camera lens makes things look much worse than they actually are.
Yes, we waited until the deer were clear of the buildings in background. They were about 1/3 of a mile away.
Great video guys. Love both of those cartridges. PA opens this morn. 2506 in hand. Salty Army
Welcome to south-western Alberta , quit complaining ! 🤣😂🤣
I've shot the 80 grain ttsx for a couple years out of my 243 win. It really puts the hammer down on whitetail.
Rifle had no recoil
6:15 1st time seeing a rifle that doesn't recoil ! LOL
It wasn't being fired. The was after the buck had been shot. George was just coming out of the rifle after watching the buck to make sure it wasn't getting up again.
What area are you in? Those are some big bodied deer.
South Dakota near Spearfish.
No bullet impact?
Trying to stay out of YT jail.
Yeah, I was also disappointed...for I wanted to see Barnes TTSX in a positive light, since I personally have not had the best of luck with them...having to track game if bone isn’t struck. I’m assuming it was a high shoulder shot to be a bang-flop as described.
anyone know what rifle ol George has?
